about

All the "Home Sessions (Raw Singles)" series of recordings follow the parameters of making live music. Each song is performed and recorded live, in one take. Sometimes other musicians join in on the song, sometimes Daniel plays and sings alone. Either way, there is only a single track, no doubling up, no layering.

This was recorded on a rainy day with cars driving on wet roads in the background. I wrote "Twisted Mind" after going to the funeral of a family friend, and seeing lots of folks there from when I was younger.

lyrics

I need something to change deep inside of you
I know every human is broken into two
And some mountains will kill you
And oceans are just so big, and deserts will run you dry

When the mind's in a million places
There's a distance with all familiar faces
And if this ever changes you'll be the first to know
When the mind gets twisted around
Down is up and up is down
And every thought is a burden it's not as easy as
Letting them go

And this is what scares me, the thought to disappear
Is the only thought that seems a little more clear
Would we slip into heaven, or slide into hell
Or go back to the way it was before

When the mind's in a million places
There's a distance with all familiar faces
And if this ever changes you'll be the first to know
When the mind starts drifting away
Day is night and night is day
Every thought is a burden it's not as easy as
Letting them go

I heard mother Teresa seemed to lose her way
And yet she lived as if all were okay
Oh father Abraham I still can't understand
If you would have killed your own

When the mind's in a million places
There's a distance with all familiar faces
And if this ever changes you'll be the first to know
When the mind gets twisted around
Down is up and up is down
And every thought is a burden it's not as easy as
Letting you go
