When I was a kid, my parents packed my brothers & me into the car to visit my grandparents in Toronto at least once a year. Although the trip was only 5 hours long, every 20 minutes or so, one of us kids would ask "Are we there yet?" The journey seemed like forever back then (before vehicles came equipped with DVD players, cup holders and snack trays). Yes, it aggregated our parents. But the three of us were bored to tears, cramped in the back seat of the family car - impatiently anticipating being showered with love and gifts.
Lately, I feel the same way. Looking at the job market, Wall Street trends and the increasing concentration of wealth, I'm not the only one who feels abandoned by society. With a surplus of workers, millions of families find they no longer qualify for what they now realize is the "privilege" of food, shelter and medical care. At the same time, more and more people are getting involved through internet activism, government channels and peaceful demonstrations, determined to make things right.
In the past few months, I've seen the world in a shadow I've never realized existed. A combination of anger, outrage, fear and grief erupt in response to an overwhelming assault on the masses. Like driving a stick-shift in a rush-hour jam, there's nothing more I can do to reach my destination . . . until the traffic clears.
With music composed and live guitars played by Rich (IOD!NE) Ramsey, engineered & co-produced by Scott Sumner and lyrics written & performed by me, “Into the Dream” is a Rock-Ballad about moving through turmoil and conflict from the back seat of life as the children of Earth ask “Are we there yet?”
