Soul Medicine is a collection of recordings from the past few years that, though eclectic in style, flow together. It is self written, performed and produced... organic music with words of the human experience. Love, hope, departure, and the interweaving of all of these into the spiritual path... and it through them. 

Special thanks to Billy Stull at Masterpiece Mastering, and the Larson family (Nimai, Taraka, Adideva & Siladitya) on the jam that turned into the last track.

Human Zoo
©2009 Scott Beckwith / Parking Lot Music BMI

Some days I'm ignorant
Sleep for ten hours
Don't use the powers of connection
Sink in my fear
Don't feel so clear in my direction
Lord help me find my way to you
When I get lost in this human zoo

Some days enslaved by passion
I rant and I crave
And lust comes in waves through my perception
For a moment of bliss
So ready to make this one exception
Lord help me know what not to do
So easily lost in this human zoo

Some days the consciousness
Blossoms like seeds
Vibration and beads and I'm a temple
To serve and to please
It's not always easy but it's simple
Lord help me on this road to you
Don't want to be stuck in this human zoo


Shelter Me
©2009 Scott Beckwith / Parking Lot Music BMI

Where we don't learn from we go back again
It's human nature to do ourselves in
A race with time we never will win
For now the world continues to spin
Shelter Me

Deep within and deep without
Driven to distraction and scattered about
Like a page from a chapter turned over again
Torn from the book and adrift in the wind
Shelter me

Youth is wasted and beauty is fleeting
Your dreams and desires they sure take a beating
Fill the empty 'til you get your fill
If the miles don't get you then the minutes will
Shelter me


Time
©2009 Scott Beckwith / Parking Lot Music BMI

Time will come
With changes for us all
Shadowing the days we have planned
Waves will crash
And winds shall blow a new day
All across our footsteps in the sand

Time

Living to consume
This life to embers
After all the fires have been fanned
If time and shifting sand
Is all I'll ever be
I'll pick up and place it in your hand

Time

Give me love
©2009 Scott Beckwith / Parking Lot Music BMI

Give me love it’s all I want
Give me love it’s all I’ll ever need to know

I want to love God but not have to hate
Want to love tomorrow but don’t want to wait
I want to love you so don’t hesitate
To love me too
’Cause I love you

I want to love life but not fear its end
Want to love my path not have to pretend
Yours may be different but I’ll still be your friend
Soul is soul
And worth more than gold

If these are the last words I ever sing
We never know what the next step will bring
Let me leave you all with this one thing
Live love
And love will live
Down To This
©2009 Scott Beckwith / Parking Lot Music BMI

Don't be surprised
By the constant surprises
That's what happens when you have no eye
On what's coming

Fantastic
Like a bird in flight
With wings of wax the truth has no talons
Feel the warming

(Chorus)
Everything you thought you knew
'Bout everything you thought was true
In everything you're taught to do
And it all comes down to this
Misc. tidbits...

"Meat Of The Moment" is one of my favorite tracks. It started as a word play on a song that was popular in the '80s, developing into a set of lyrics talking of being so "I am this body" that sometimes it rules me in the moment. To me, I try to operate from a higher consciousness than the animal part of me. It's not easy; this world is that world, you know? But I really try not to let my body tell me what my heart's about; I try to keep them separate and tune in to That Higher which will broadcast through if I can get the interference out of the way. 

When I wrote the music for the song, I put a bar of that old pop song in there (protected under "parody", by the way ~ no copyright infringement intended, and my intent is obvious) and it all fell into place.
"It was the meat of the moment telling me what my heart's about / so glad it can pick you up while I learn to tune it all out."
