The word depression is used over sadness and melancholy . But five to six hundred years ago Melancholy was identified with the Roman god Saturn and a person chronically disposed to melancholy was known as a Child of Saturn.

Saturns Moon

Nothing feels right
When I am in this melancholy mood
Alone in my room
In the dead of night
In the cold blue light
Under the glow
from Saturns Moon
And I tell myself that everything will be okay
It won’t be long before this
Dark cloud fades away
And I tell myself there will be a new dawn coming soon
When I break the spell I know so well in the glow from Saturn’s moon
Nothing feels real
When I am stranded in this world of illusion
No where to hide
In the cold blue light
Under the glow from Saturn’s Moon
And I tell myself that everything will be okay
It won’t be long before this
Dark cloud fades away
And I tell myself there’ll be a new dawn coming soon
When I break the spell I know so well in the glow from Saturn’s moon
Cause thats the way I feel
In the glow from Saturns Moon

Ethnobotanist Wade Davis an his article about the plight of the Penan rainforest people of Sarawak (Borneo)who have been robbed out of their lands without appropriate compensation .The same process is very much a part of similar tribes in the Amazon and other parts of the world. This in turn effects us all as it comes back to bite us by Global warming
Here is an extract from Wade Davis (The Serpent and the Rainbow)

In the language of Borneo’s Penan tribe, there are forty words for sago palm, and no words for goodbye, or thank you – or thief. The Penan are a nomadic people who view the entire rainforest as their home. They are an “eco-village” on the move, one with a history many thousands of years old. If we all knew and loved the natural world with the intimacy of the Penan, we would not be destroying it willfully. But the Penan way of life – and the incomparable knowledge they have amassed about how to live in community with the forest and with each other – may soon disappear. In the time it takes to read a paragraph of this text, another three hectares of the Borneo rainforest will have been cut down (as late as 1983, Malaysian logging provided 58% of all tropical log exports on the world market).
“The following is excerpted from the book Penan: Voice for the Borneo Rainforest”

When I wrote the Lyrics for On the edge and beyond these issues were crossing my mind including the deforestation even in our
own little part of the world Lets start a new mindset plant one or more trees in your backyard . I strongly support eco-sustainability. Sadly indigenous community’s of the rainforest are discriminated against and are suffering the destruction of their eco enviroment due to deforestation by unsustainable logging without consideration.

On The Edge and Beyond

On the edge
you were looking out
On the frontier
In the decay of the forest
Burning of the land
Dance in a circle
Under trees of green
Watch the world from a faded sunset
And rise up
From your broken dreams
On the edge you were running from
The last frontier
In the decay of the buildings
Turning of the land
Dance in a forest
Under the sacred green
Save the earth from
Greed of gold
Rise up
Let the weeping willow be
On the edge and beyond
You were standing there
Looking out
In a changing world of decay
Save it now
On the edge and beyond
You were standing there
If they could only see
There may be hope for another way
There’s so much hurt
There’s so much pain
Why do we do it to each other
Can’t seem to make no sense of it
On the outcome
And in the end
Who pays the price
In this Dilemma
On the Edge and beyond
On the edge you were looking out
On the frontier
In a view of the twilight
Where the fireflies fly
Dance in a forest
Under the twilight sky
Save the earth from greed of gold
Rise up
Let the Rainforest man be
To chorus:
On the edge and beyond
You were standing there
Looking out
In a changing world of decay
Save it now
On the edge and beyond
You were standing there
If they could only see
There may be hope for another way

You Give Me More

Its been so long
Since I had this feeling
Feels so strong
Now my head is reelin
Who would believe
It could turn out to be so right

When you came my way
On that Moonlit September Night

Chorus:
You give me more
Then I could ever need
You give me more
Like the rain is to the seed
You give me more
It’s the feeling
I get from your love
It fills my very soul

I dive into the deep blue sea
I am floating in your serenity
And disappear into the warmth of your smile
And lose all fear like a new born child

Who would believe
It could turn out to be so right

When you came my way
On that Moonlit September Night

To Chorus:

A chill out jazz contemporary song about taking time out from our busy Lifestyles

lyrics
Taking time out

Found myself in the same old situation
In a broken dreams no promises
In my solitary world
Till there was you
You made it all complete

Come don’t hide away
Come outside and play
Taking time out
From this crazy world
Spend some time and see
What will be will be
Taking time out from this crazy life
Got to be with you again

Got myself on a clear destination
With you Ill never look back
Till there was you
You made it all worthwhile

Come don’t hide away
Come outside and play
Taking time out
From this crazy world
Spend some time and see
What will be will be
Taking time out from this crazy life
Got to be with you again
