Lyrics to "Oasis" by Greg Vanderlaan [soon to be a Music Video]

[E] Ride across the desert on a thousand horses.
Swords flashing in the Sun so very [NC] proud.
Ride 'till the sun turns your tongue to ashes.
Drink deep of water drawn from 'neath the [NC] ground.

and she [F/E] waits for him patiently...
under the palm tree...
She waits 'though she cannot tell you why... [2X]

[D] Far away from the city
There [C] lives a girl.
She draws water from the [D] sand.

[D] Under a lonesome palm tree
she [C] rests her body
and there she waits for her [D] man.

[D] He rides a camel thru the desert
and [C] dreams of cool water
an Oasis never close at [D] hand.

[D] Oh will he ever find her?
His [C] Arabian princess
and will she lead him to the land?
[D] A land of many sorrows 
of [C] Sun and Death, companion to the [D] band.
The Desert will never Answer
Though [C] tears we cry, so we get by the best we [D] can...

[E] Ride across the desert on a thousand horses.
Swords flashing in the Sun so very [NC] proud.
Ride 'till the sun turns your tongue to ashes.
Drink deep of water drawn from 'neath the [NC] ground.

and she [F/E] waits for him patiently...
under the palm tree...
She waits 'though she cannot tell you why... [2X]

When I went to West Valley Junior College I Took a Class in Architectural Scale Model Building. I took Blueprints of a Cabin my Father was having built on North Shore, Lake Tahoe and Built an Accurate Scale Model of it. Dad showed it to his friends and clients... Just to explain what he was having Built... In Retrospect, THAT would have been an EPIC Career... Building Models... Mostly the Professional Career Path was building Models of Oil Refineries... as a way to CHECK if the design was accurate... much cheaper to find errors on a Model than actually build the real thing and find out, OOPS! ---- During the Free time I Had Between Classes I went to the Library and Drew Pictures, Cartoons, Designs ART... while wearing Headphones... My Favorite was 'Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin... Astonishing on Headphones because of a lot of Left-Right Ping Ponging and Phase-Shifter Effects on the Drums... Try it!

If you ever want to have a private conversation, meet your friend at a campfire in the woods. No cellphone surveillance, No email hacking, No spy cameras, No secret microphones... The Campfire is not absolutely required... but FUN! This also works at the Office. Outside there is usually a smoking area near the dumpster, just ask a friend to ‘step into my office’ and go outside for a private conversation. #ELF #EarthFirst! #deepecology #violet #overgrow #purple64ets

Photo of a Truck hauling a Big Grey Box at PGE Atomic Power Plant on the Humboldt Bay, Eureka, CA - It's Decommissioned


I wonder where they are taking the atomic waste in those Big Grey Boxes...
They move about six boxes a day...

While decommissioning the building they have to dispose of the materials that they built the power plant with... Concrete, steel and plastic...

That's what's in the big grey boxes that travel North from Eureka


Seven Explosions Happened near the Transformers at the Top Right of the Photo late one night.
I checked with PG&E via Email and they said that there was NO LEAK of Radioactive material.
They store spent fuel rods in a pool.

7 Explosions at Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant.near King Salmon, CA. I saw 4 green explosions on the South Side of the PG&E Plant then about 10 seconds later three white Explosions. The electric power went out in King Salmon and Humboldt Hill. It is now restored. April 12th 2016 9PM California time.
Parked there for an Hour on 4/6/2016. About 12 trucks a day leave King Salmon, CA
In my opinion... The power plant gets overloaded whenever people start up a Marijuana Grow House. The farmers steal electricity for their grow lights and that unregulated surge blows up the transformers.

Music Video: "eARThsong" Written and Sung by Greg Vanderlaan

https://youtu.be/tERVWVZUNyw 

This was written at a time that we were living in Chico, California and were surrounded by a corral with 4 horses. We were also growing many plants including morning glory flowers that eventually got so tall that they climbed up to the roof of the little house. The tomato plants produced an abundance of food... quite a miracle... Especially eating them Hot off the vine...

Bm A D G
Planting, planting, planting seeds
D A D
May our garden grow...
Bm A D G
May God bless the earth and rain
D A D
And sprout the seeds I sow
D A D
And sprout the seeds I sow

CHORUS:
G Bm
We've been tilling soil since the dawn of time
A E
The fertile loam of home is nature most divine
G Bm
The lady with the hand upon the plow
A E
is identical, then and now

Weeding, weeding, weeding weeds
feed 'em to the horses
may God bless the new-born foal
and teach it natures forces
and teach it natures forces

Riding, riding, riding steeds
just like long ago
May God bless the hay they eat
and set their eyes aglow

and set their eyes aglow

Lyrics to my songs: Earthsong, Big Medicine, Mescalita, Wilson Bridge and City of the Future.

BIG MEDICINE SONG (lyrics)
wrote at an Amerindian Christian Tent Revival Meeting we attended.
The lyrics simply appeared in my mind full formed while playing the Father Drum. 

Chorus: 
Awaken the giant within...(E,F,F#,F)
Awaken the giant within...(E,F,F#,F)

Verse:
Went down to the river (E,G,D,D*,D)
Went down to the sea (A,A*,A) 
Drank deep of the water of life (E,G,D,D*,D) 
and set my soul free,my soul free (A,A*,A,E,E)

Ya Way is the mountain 
the ocean and the sea 
may the four winds of the ancients 
become one with thee,one with thee 

...sing chorus here... 

Ya-way,your way (E,G,D) 
lead on mighty spirit (A,A*) 
Ya-way your way 
fill me with light 
Ya-way, your way 
the path is calling 
Ya-way, your way 
Rainbow warriors to the fight 
Ya-way use me 
make me a healer 
Ya-way, use me 
Big medicine is yours 
Ya-way, use me 
flowing waves of compassion 
Ya-way, use me 
My hands are your tools...

...sing chorus here...

The spirit of the buffalo (E,G,D,D*,D)
the spirit of the bear (A,A*,A) 
teach us to live in balance (E,G,D,D*,D)
mother eARTh we will share, we'll share (A,A*,A,E,E)

WILSON BRIDGE (lyrics)

Wake up early in the morning, (CHORDS) D C 
gotta go to work. G D
gotta drive across that Wilson Bridge, D C
my mind it just starts to hurt. G D

10,000 fools in 10,000 cars, D C
cross it every day. G D
as I sit behind my steering wheel, D C
I know there's got to be a better way! G D 

CHORUS:
Because every day in every way, D A C G
life gets more annoying. D C D
every day in every way, D A C G
life gets more boring. D C D

I escaped from D.C.
and I burned my car.
Ride the light rail in San Jo se.
It's better by far.

10,000 fools in 10,000 cars,
still drive every day.
writing lyrics on this magic train,
I know I've found the better way!

CHORUS:
Every day in every way,
It's not so annoying.
Flirting with ladies on the subway train,
Sets my heartbeat soaring!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CITY OF THE FUTURE!(lyrics)

we are living in the city of the future
all of us have hi-tech jobs...
we don't give a dam about unemployment
that only happens to low tech slobs
be a nurd!
be a nurd!
I'm a high-tech wizard
BE A NURD!
They used to laugh @ me
when I was in high school
the social in set was so very proud
but now when those people
are searching thru the want ads
they say "I want to be one of the 
computer crowd
be a nurd
be a nurd
be a high-tech wizard
BE A NURD!
********************************
MESCALITA (APACHE INDIAN GOD)

I MET A GIRL NAMED MESCALITA
WITH COARSE BROWN HAIR.
SHE TAUGHT ME A SONG IN A DIFFERENT KEY.
NOW I LIVE THERE.
MESCALITA, MI HIJITA.
YOU SHOWED ME HOW TO LIVE.
MY LIFE WAS FILLED WITH SORROW.
BUT NOW I CAN GIVE.
I USED TO SING IN THE KEY OF "E"
A KEY OF BLUES AND PAIN.
NOW I SING IN THE KEY OF "g"
AND I'LL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN.
MESCALITA,MI AMIGA, YOU SHOWED ME HOW TO DANCE.
MY LIFE WAS FILLED WITH SORROW.
BUT I'LL GIVE LOVE ONE MORE CHANCE.

I WROTE THIS AFTER EATING PEYOTE
AT THE "RAINBOW GATHERING" IN PENNSYLVANIA.
THOSE DEADHEAD LADIES ARE SO SWEET...

********************************
My Invisible Friend (lyrics)

(Hay-Seuss) 

I've got an invisible friend 
and I call him Hay-seuss. 
not Dr. Seuss or mother goose 
but JESUS. 

If you don't believe 
in Hay-seuss or mother goose 
you'll got to HELL (or Pittsburg) 
and burn for eternity. 

Oh, me and Jim Jones 
we believe in Hay-seuss 
and cyanide suicide 
will get you quicker to his side. 

I didn't eat for three days 
and I heard voices 
God talked to me 
like I was on LSD 
and said you're SATAN (or Peter Pan)

********************************
Direction (lyrics)

Wandering this world
Without direction we were lost
(I was)
We will build our life together
I can't, we can

Now I found you
And you found me
Never, never, never, never
Go on a first date again

No more lonely nights
No more lonely days
Then there was us
What a wonderful phrase to say

Because you trust me
And I trust you
Thank you, Lord, for Victoria (gregory)

The clouds have lifted and
I can see our future
We will be us
Forever
(Together)

all original lyrics by greg vanderlaan ...
The blurry photographic effect was caused by the camera melting inside my truck... 110 degrees in Chico in the Summer...
I was using a disposable film camera and most of the pictures were ruined but some just looked goofy!

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
