Welcome to the Eventide of Music

There is a great storm coming.

     I have had visions of this, and have written many songs concerning this impending loom of ultimate climactic will, God's, Man's and Lucifer's. Beyond this great storm of a war is a thousand years of peace. If you do not believe in The Millennium (a thousand years of peace), then you probably don't think there is light at the end of the tunnel.

     A fire in a tornado approaches and you will find yourself saying the word "idiot's." Have you ever thought about, what music will survive the war, for the thousand years of peace? Will your music live on?

Eventide Millennium
"Eventide" is an unfathomable spiraling rush of poetry,
emblazoned in sound.
It is a Renaissance of words

     I think most artist will agree with me, that Music has a restless heart. She (Music) will move from time to time for survival reasons. We are in a very tumultuous time. And she is moving again. I can tell you from where she is leaving, and I can tell you where she is probably going. But beyond this, you should be asking yourselves, why is Music moving?

     It's the storm that's moving us all, as it gust it's way throughout all the earth. It is physical, and spiritual, as it looms and rages by the mindset of mankind. So well do we know that Music can swarm the skies of our minds with thunder and  lightning. This is interesting, it is a proof of freedom of expression. Free-will, the controversy of our time. We are racing out in front of this threatening storm. Some say we can stop it, if we could just harmonize all of us people. Well as I look down the road, I don't think so. There's always more to the picture than what meets the eye. So here's a good question; How long do we have?  The Late Jim Morrison said "I just want to get my kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames." Other than being on something, I think he was onto something. And that something is live. Live and live again. Put on your most brave austere face before the storm and live. Don't grow weak and fall apart. Adversity exists, but so does life worth living. And we need the best Music we can come up with for these times. This is The Eventide of Music.

     There must be a way to measure the stars, when a super nova explodes across the universe.

     Eventide is a new Music from a day gone by. As you will see the crossroads are now before us. There's three paths that lie ahead. It  always starts with a choice, the fork in the road. There's the high road, the low road, and straight ahead.

     If you take the high road, it's digital. This is where music is computer generated, and sampled, much like movies are in Hollywood. Toxic derivative computer programs will take bits of music info from millions of songs already created. Then they strain and chain these pieces of music together, and bundle them into new songs that are mostly  unrecognizable, so as to circumvent copyright laws. If this is your road, then Music does not know you.

     There's the low road. This is the money road. On it there is a horse for you to ride. His name is Hackberry. He is the money horse. He represents money before Music. This means all the galleons of gold you can reap from the youth that will  follow you as you ride forth into the unknown. Herein is a fact; We all grow old, and so will Hackberry. Eventually Hackberry won't be able to carry you, and you'll have to urge him along. You'll get to where the repetition in this lifestyle weighs heavy on your soul. Provided you have a soul still. Near the end you get to where you hate your music, your fans, and yourself. Music allows for this because of her father. There is nothing wrong by making money with your Music. Remember, Music before money.

     Have you ever eaten a meal where everything was made from scratch? A meal prepared so good, that even after it has been eaten, you will never forget it. This is what Eventide is all about. Which brings us to our final choice. The road that lies straight ahead. This is the path for the Eventide. I have seen it, I have walked it. And felt the warmth upon my face, and the euphoria in the distance that can be reached, and never ends.

     In the beginning there are low to high rising hills of beautiful bright green verdure, fields that seem to go on forever. Sky blue ponds and lakes, stretched out along each side of the path, that soothe the pain of life. You've heard of water-trains, well, this is much more. Far away you can see something that makes you feel good. Like a descending crescendo in physical light, it stirs you to go after it. You are moved to know what it is.  And all the while, along the ridge of mixtures, you can hear the voice of the ages. She is Music, and a spectrum of light and sound combined. This isn't just any light. You have seen special light before, we all have. But can you hold onto it? This is the division in Music. Those who can hold on to the light in sound, and those who can't. This is The Eventide of Music. All the hues of originality given to poetry in sound.
                                        

A Restless Heart
A restless heart will lift her dress and dance
Nothing is gained, if nothings ever chanced
So the wind does die down, and the clouds are moved out
while the people lift up their hands
She looks out upon the myriads
Her voice burst into light round their heads
A change in the way Music vibrates the air.
Would you, love to, move and live again?
This day, this hour, were going to pull up stakes
She said the winds are now shifting, Hold on it feels like were drifting
There's plenty of fire in the horn, we can make this move,
take the world by storm.
Loves like a mountain climb, in a storm that thunders all night
In this, world view, this weathers stranger than life
She said the winds are now shifting, It's time for a New Music City
At dawn the Arch is so bright---
with the flow of the river comes The Eventide...
(caption add)  Strange that they wonder why, Music moves to live her life.
And now she's going away, so far...
(repeat)  A restless heart will lift her dress and dance
Nothing is gained, if...
Music is living and very much aware.

A Fire in a Tornado
We are the freedom that fell from the stars
Through the cracks in heavens floor.
We landed on this earth, and we called this America.
We are the freedom that helps others, around and around the world
Look into the east, there's something wrong out there.
Huh, A Fire in a Tornado
A darkness that now glows.
In a land that once was holy, disease is made for war.
Huh, A Fire in a Tornado
The winds of war are blowing.
The vultures come to crowing, where the sand is red and flowing.
In a land that once was holy, the heavens now are torn.
We are the freedom that must survive,
for the children of tomorrow.
The hope that's in their eyes, is a hope for all mankind.
Huh, A Fire in a Tornado
has blown through our borders.
Now come the foreign warriors, to destroy the land of the free.
Huh, the eagle has taken to flight, to encourage us to fight.
And protect our sons and daughters,
We'll defend our homes with honor, for between the shining waters-
Is the land of the free and the brave.

Godspeed speed us Away !

     Speed us away from this drudgery of wannabe Rock n Roll, and the lack of any worth, whatsoever genres, that suck hind tit on hyenas. Today's music industry is in shambles, and will most certainly fall. Here's why... Music is turning her back on them. Let's begin with myself. I am nobody, unknown, and probably outcast. Yet my  words will ring more loudly throughout this world, than a Mayan bell made of alien gold. But, how is this so? Honestly, I don't  know, it's a mystery.

     I really like Rock n Roll, and so many of the great artist that have come through it. But now days, especially the  past twenty years, can be summed up in three words, "goodnight ! what  happened?" Think about it, you only know what your offered. And that ain't been much lately. Now, there have been many good new artist and songs over the past twenty years, but not nearly enough. And if we keep going nowhere, then Music will die.

Here comes the shot

     The time runs short. You cannot rape Music and bring her back to sing. If you are a part of  today's music industry that finds my words offensive, well good, I could care less. If you are a part of the music industry that recognizes the trembling chasm before you, then come along for awhile. I can show you things you've never seen. Out into The Eventide, where the stars are bright at night. And if you’re a part of the shit, that's tired of being just shit, well think positive, change is possible.

"A change in the way Music vibrates the air"

     I got a question; How do you move six buildings from Manhattan, New York City to Saint Louis, Missouri? Of course location is everything. Money -- Wow! Investors, Time and  Labor, zoning laws, job creation, green technology, redistricting, deconstruction, reconstruction, history  preservation -- tax breaks, major transport, rail access and movement,  etc., etc., etc. Why bother??? It's simple... people love - Music.

     The buildings I'm referring to make up what's left of "Tin Pan Alley." A good time in Music's history. I got a suggestion... look it up on the internet. Do a little research. This is one of the most mysterious things happening in the world... I should know, I'm Paul Dresser. Again, why move these old Historical Publishing Buildings to St. Louis?

     First of all, the buildings will actually be moved to Alton, Illinois. This is a sister city to St. Louis just a few miles up the river north of St. Louis.  Remember location is everything. Alton, Illinois has the spirit setting Music needs to beacon a New Day for Music. Once the buildings are  relocated and properly reconstructed, the boldest and strongest statement ever built in stone for Music, by the human race, will then be made. That the spirit of Music must live and live again! Hereby The New Music Industry in Saint Louis, Missouri will happen and grow with a new "Tin Pan Alley," a crown of Music to rest on St. Louis' head. This means that anybody that is somebody in Music, will need to find a little time to come by. All good Music executives are invited to St. Louis for future prospects. I will speak more on this subject in videos that I'll be posting.

This is The Eventide of Music
