Song & Rants #24 | Being SHOULD-on & original tune "Most"

Let's talk about stereotypes (particularly about / for men) and the many times we get "SHOULD-ON" by culture. All of the "SHOULDS" that we take on can sometimes feel like a heavy blanket... but what would it feel like to be free... truly free? What beliefs would have to die in order for new ones to be born for you?
The song is called "MOST" and I wrote it as part of a songwriting workshop I did in 2007. It was based off of an award-winning Czech documentary called "MOST" and I wrote it about / for my dad. I ended up singing this song at his funeral in 2008.
MOST
A seed that finds the soil will survive
Life is only planted when it dies
I wish I had the words
To demonstrate the worth of your life
CHORUS
I am so tired, but I can’t sleep
I feel like hell, is pulling me
Maybe the most, precious things
Are taken away, in order to give new life
Well that seed has quickly fallen to the ground
My questions are a fumbling of sounds
This soil is so lonely
The aching of my heart is the only
Thing to be found
BRIDGE
New life - New Life

I should not get seasick by watching this, but I did! O boy! Skipper's daughters are not used to video's taken from hammocks!
