Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Story behind the song
The Message is the story of a man that receives an interstellar message, transmitted from a dying planet that portends bad things for much of the universe including Earth. He resists, but ultimately succumbs to act on this (ala Moses or Noah). He warns and gathers people and deals with the difficulties and uncertainties of interstellar travel. And once reaching the planet, massive adaptations and transformations occur.
Lyrics
Motherless Child/Wandering W&M Ron Tintner Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child A long way from home A long, long way from home I'm wand'rin' lost in a sea of stars and planets Looking for a path to the promised land I'm wand'rin' lost in a sea of stars and planets (And) I don't think I'm going home again CHORUS: I'm wandering... wandering Lost and all alone I'm wandering and wondering Light years from my home I was so sure when I set out on this journey But now the seeds of doubt have taken root I was so sure when I set out on this journey But now I doubt my faith will get me through CHORUS [Interlude] CHORUS Sometimes I feel like a motherless child A long... long way... From my home CHORUS X 2 Sometimes I feel like a motherless child A long, long way... From my home
