about

Many moons ago, about 4015 of them, I created this song for my wife's birthday as my attempt at making a "love song" without making a corny, cliche love song. The title takes all the complexities of a relationship and really sums it all up in one word as 2 separate people live parallel to one another and grow into the future as one.

This song is actually 11 years old, at the time we weren't married, but had just gotten back together in 2002 when I made this. I re:recorded it again in 2009 for our anniversary and here I finally release it to the public over a decade later...

The guitars I re:vived from some earlier recordings I had in my archives from an old buddy and band mate, Kyle "the vagrant" Conwell.

I gotta say, it's a little tough for me to re:lease songs so personal to my life and family but what the hell, life doesn't need to be so serious.

enjoy.

lyrics

HOOK:
Parallel > the wind and sea set sail
Diversely unified call it vision and Braille
Parallel leveled in the sunset rise
Absorbed by the beautiful shine by my side

Parallel > the wind and sea set sail
Diversely unified call it vision and Braille
Parallel leveled in the sunset rise
Inevitable night light side by side

(HOOK)

Like Gemini’s > a pair for both eyes
Parallel world body soul mind collides
Artistic revise musically reprised
Painting other planets with the earth and the skies

A new birth to wise and hearts to keep brave
With the rhythm of living each night will hold days
This is the life growth and strength nourished
A rebirth of living call it wisdom and courage

The reality is this no tree can match height
For they may never climb if they can’t catch light
It’s the moon and the sun one orbital course
Spacing out time with a spiraling force

The source of all energy enough for all replenishing
Vanishing from negative repetitive so menacing
Unlimiting symmetry looping through the bend
Both ends extend with no uniform my friend

(HOOK)

Like high tides > gravitational rise
The moon is full at work again with oceanic ties
Parallel wave rides shore line traveling
Quiver of the ocean all into gathering

Fathomless in general who can really tell
Gallons by the billion always travel each swell
Each trail shall never go unpaved for the tale
Life living call it vision and Braille

Unveil the parallel discover a new wealth
A ricochet image on the pupil of thy self
Reflective eye lens bouncing back like a mirror
The echo in its vision seen for miles still clear

Serenity draws the tear > palms clutch the coming
The future is upon us I walk for the long running
Why rush? The energy will always be in rhythm
Save pace for the race father time will cut the ribbon

(HOOK)

Like Gemini’s > a pair both eyes
Parallel world body soul mind collides
Artistic revise musically reprised
Painting every step with the sound of lullabies

Hearing them flutter by the color of butterflies
Décor identical wing synchronized
Behold the eyes of a new soul combined
Anchored to the verse of sight endless in time

You can taste life and never really live it
Without the sacrifice of price felt when you give it
You can touch life and always keep it vivid
Powered by the sacrifice of Christ every visit

Real life > impartially lives upon a pair
Obviously opposite but common ground is there
Balance is life and death resting on our days
Beyond any phase time coming of age

about

peoplemover San Diego, California

Peoplemover, once just a side project of thirdy3rd, has now become a primary focus with a higher influence than just music.

While thirdy3rd is known for their unprecedented, futuristic digital, fast pace, electro hip hop sound, peoplemover can easily be classified as a close relative, yet formed of an organic and hifi analog complexity, fueled by fossil nostalgia of new and old grooves.
