Rock music most akin to progressive but influences from Folk and Jazz
New progressive rock, mostly song based but music and musicianship is equally important to me.

Story behind the song
From Tom "in college bums (hippies) lived in an abandoned building and begged and ate from restaurant garbage cans and used store bathrooms to wash and get water. at night used candles. in this myth an engineer gets tangled up with em cause of a hot hippy chick but they straighten out and have a daughter who starts the cycle again"
Lyrics
one day as I did walk down einstein street some ragged girl put a note in my hand it said that "love is the only answer wont you come along and learn to love with me?" I followed her down to a building on bridge lane much to old and ugly to be in demand written on one window was "love is the greatest dancer; wont you come along and sing and dance with me ? we could be eternally happy every day ah cast you compass to the sea and let your love lead the way" these words the ragged girl did say inside the building the people were gathered around a candle that lit up their smiles my mind was fractured for all my upbringing shouted out "danger ; I must leave this life style" and yet I stayed to observe these ragged soldiers who fight a war agaist wired philosophies they said that i could join in their questing to make a better life of love for you and me we could be eternally happy every day ah cast you compass to the sea and let your love lead the way" these words the ragged girl did say ah................ compass to the sea ah................ compass to the sea ah................ compass to the sea ah................ compass to the sea ah................ compass to the sea ah................ compass to the sea ah................ compass to the sea ah................ compass to the sea now we are married and she gave me a rainbow yesterday i saw my daughter playing in the sand she walked up to a young boy crying wiped his tears and placed a note in his hand we could be eternally happy every day ah cast you compass to the sea and let your love lead the way" we could be eternally happy every day ah cast you compass to the sea and let your love lead the way" we could be eternally happy every day ah cast you compass to the sea and let your love lead the way" these words the ragged girl did say
