Everywhere, Nowhere

[Intro: Ambient tanpura drone with distant sitar plucks, reversed guitar swells, and echoing field recordings of birds and wind] Voices in the silence Calling from the East (Calling, calling…) [Verse] Stepped off the plane into the sun Dust on our boots, the journey begun White robes drifting through the trees Secrets carried on the breeze (breeze) Four shadows walking slow in line Searching for a deeper sign Eyes wide open, minds set free Floating on infinity (Ob-La-Di) [Instrumental texture: Tabla rhythm fades in with phased guitar arpeggios] [Chorus] In the ashram echoes, we dissolve All the questions softly fall (We dissolve, we dissolve) Through the mantra, through it all Hear the universe call (John, Ringo, George and Paul) Sitar dreams and silver skies Truth reflected in our eyes In the ashram echoes we become More than we were before (Four) [Verse] Morning chants in golden light Day dissolves into the night Ink and paper, songs appear From the silence we can hear Laughter drifting through the halls (ha-ha) Timeless rhythm in the walls Every note a sacred flame Nothing ever stays the same [Instrumental break: Extended sitar melody with delay-heavy electric guitar harmonics] [Chorus] In the ashram echoes, we dissolve All the questions softly fall (We dissolve, we dissolve) Through the mantra, through it all Hear the universe call (John, Ringo, George and Paul) Saffron skies and endless sound Lost and finally found In the ashram echoes we become More than we were before (four) [Bridge] [Instrumental buildup: Layered tabla polyrhythms, rising string pads, swelling reverse guitars] Spinning faster, worlds align Every moment out of time Voices merging, one refrain Flowing through the cosmic plane (Om… Om… Om…) (Ob-La-Di) (Ob-La-Da) [Climactic rise: Orchestral strings join with distorted, echo-drenched guitars] [Chorus] In the ashram echoes, we dissolve All the questions softly fall (We dissolve, we dissolve) Through the mantra, through it all Hear the universe call (John, Ringo, George and Paul) Now the sound is vast and wide Like a never-ending tide In the ashram echoes we become Light within the roar (We four) [Outro: Epic cinematic ending with full orchestra, massive reverb guitars, sitar glissandos, and thunderous percussion gradually fading into a lone tanpura drone] We were seekers, we were sound Now we're nowhere, everywhere bound (Everywhere… everywhere…) (Nowhere Men) (Know) (Where) [end]
