Atlas Invisible
Five years ago today, I posted the video blog you’ll see here. I re-post it today because I want to get back to doing this kind of thing. The day before this was made, I was going through some old papers and I happened across some lyrics to a song I had written some 12 years prior entitled “Atlas”… I remembered writing the song. I remembered what it was about. I remembered the person whom I had written it about, someone who from my POV, seemed to want to take the entire world upon his shoulders, at his own expense. Hence the title, Atlas.
After a dozen years, I had no recollection of the actual chords to this Atlas song, so I needed to re-write them! At the time, I was a loan officer for Countrywide Home Loans, and spent every third weekend being the on-site mortgage consultant for folks looking to buy a condo at a place called Marina Bay in Richmond, CA.
When I left Marina Bay, I just wandered and video blogged, with the goal of finding a cool place to sit down and songwrite.
Imagine my surprise when I found myself, by chance, on a boulevard called “Atlas Road”.
The “Invisible” part comes from the name of the techno background music, “Invisible” by Fischerspooner.
Tooo cold and windy to sing J…?
Again I have to ask if you are not from Washington state….lolol
I mean is that at all possible…?
Perhaps your video accompanying music was throwing you off……even though I know in my soul that was the best music possible J….still I mean were you singing that in your head as you tried to get the cord structure down ?……….
That ominous looking stop sign followed so closely by the do not enter signs had me clinging to the edge of my seat…lol
Oh the drama in this video offering is nail biting J…
Oh no you didn’t
PORT COSTA CALIFORNIA….!
Are you insane did you actually try and work out this song in PORT COSTA CALIFORNIA ?
And that boat…OMG…..The water…the Rocks…hills…OMG…?
That is virtual madness J
Madness !
:entertained:

I saw at least three UFO’s in there, and a guy who, inexplicably, had one foot in the water.
