I looked up and saw you there The wind was blowing in your hair I woke up and I was alone Surrounded by the stones I’d thrown Singin The leaves were dancing in the breeze I heard a voice high in the trees When I answered back I heard your call Suddenly I remembered it all The day begins with a drop of rain Washing it all back down the drain When I turn the corner there you are Shining bright like an evening star Singin The fires lit the moon is out You grab my hand and we set about When I come unhinged you say sit tight We’re on our way to kiss the night All my time before you Left a hole you fill like glue Troubles in my mind You’re the peace i need to find Your whispering wonder The mystery of summer Sunshine and laughter And all the days after When I hear the music in your heart singing that joyful sound Then I feel the warmth in your a Like the sun coming back around

Poodah Lee 03:33
Poodah Lee de de de de Mama loves you yes indeed Poodah Lee de de de de Mama loves you yessiree Sing you a song that’s been filling up my heart Since the day you came into my life It’s a little funny at the start But when the rhythm hits it feels just right Poodah Lee de de de de Mama loves you yes indeed Close your eyes and you will see That your dreams are your destiny I’m gonna protect you till my time here is through And on that day I’ll watch over you Always remember I’ll be by your side Look my way when you need a light And you will see Poodah Lee de de de de Mama loves you yessire Close your eyes and you will see That the stars are where you sleep Climb the mountains in your dreams Cross the mighty seven seas Trouble comes but trouble goes So keep love in your heart and take it slow Poodah Lee de de de de Mama loves you yessiree Fly behind the sun to see That the wings of love will set you free Poodah Lee de de de de Mama loves you yes indeed Close your eyes and you will see That the stars are where you sleep Poodah Lee de de de de Mama loves you yessiree Fly behind the sun to see That the wings of love will set you free

With every passing day You lose the hope to do what’s right Another world away A hungry child fights to stay alive And when the night time comes Our deepest fear consumes it all What if we are alone When that final hammer falls? So take the road less travelled Even if you’re the only one Take to the sky and spread the love Even if you’re the only one Another days gone by lying awake and wondering why If I ever have it all I’ll be able to reach the sky don’t really want it Never really wanted To live this way but now I see

Science News 03:26
Say the soul does not die It returns forever Say the soul does not die Its returns tonight Quantum vibrations Microtubules You’ve got a universe inside Bio quantum computer inside your brain continues on long after you’re gone Researchers say that after your life The soul returns to the cosmos, it does not die

Untitled #2 02:45
The say the best revenge is living well But revenge ain’t what I’m after Find what you love give it back to world And fill your belly full with laughter Ain’t no sense in playing house If a home is what you’re after To be alone is a pity But regrets create disaster It’s always dark just before the dawn But the morning dew is sweeter Have your own mind, cherish the time When you dance until your feet hurt Don’t be scared to ask for help Your friends are there you’ll need them Open your heart to the joys of life when your ego starves don’t feed it

Sing In Mine 03:57
Forget the rain and the snow, the places you may go No matter who I see, you’re like no-one that I know Turn back the years and everything is alright Our broken hearts will mend with time Memories and good things have faded away You forgot the feelings of a brand new day The smile seems to have run off from your face Has it gone in search of better days Goodbye my friend, goodbye I know that I’ve vanished from your mind But do I still sing in your heart Like you Sing in Mine They say all things heal with time You’re sitting here in front of me and you don’t know why All the familiar faces go passing by What would it take for you to remember mine Goodbye my friend, goodbye I know that I’ve vanished from your mind But do I still sing in your heart Like you Sing in Mine It’s starting to feel like the end Would it help if I said, I love you again? Thank You, I’m sorry, what else can I say Even though you’re gone, don’t go away Goodbye my friend, goodbye I know that I’ve vanished from your mind But do I still sing in your heart Like you Sing in Mine

It’s raining, like tears bearing down two days after the winter solstice A light in the distance shines A spark of hope in the darkness I’m falling, so I put out my hands Bracing for what’s to come next Sensing a shift in this life bruised but I’m ready for the test I’m not sure what to do when things rearrange It seems it’s gonna be cold in this season of change Retreating, to find somewhere warm Reflecting in still waters Natures never wrong Reconnect the things that are hers Exploring, its time I looked ahead I see a vision of the future The experiment must go on I must remove the sutures I’m not sure what to do When things rearrange It seems its coming soon Another season of change Bursting, like flowers into bloom I should trust my timing Birthing a brand new life And finding the silver lining Allowing, a blank page to write savor in the harvest At the same time I try To push my fears the farthest I’m climbing out of the gloom It’s time to rearrange at first I wasn’t sure Life is awful strange The journey is gonna be long But happiness is in range As long as I notice when I’m in a season of change

Its gonna be a long way back home I been thinking a lot on this road I can hear you crying through the phone Hope I can sleep tonight alone It’s gonna be a long way back home Virginia sky is making me cold You got no alibi to follow hope I can get some sleep tomorrow Its gonna be a long way back home Six more hours till this birthdays gone I been driving now for a while Hope I can get home to see you smile

about

Mike Bustamante's second solo album features songs about life, love and explorations. The themes of love and growth bookend the records poignant lyrical content. Musically, the songs are vast and layered with an emphasis on melodic counterpoint and sonic hues.

The Stars Are Where You Sleep takes a lot of inspiration from looking up at the sky and wondering where it all comes from, why it is all here and what part we share in it. It being life, experiences, relationships, growing up and finding your way. A great listen in headphones and on long drives.

Enjoy your journey to The Stars.
