about

Maybe the ultimate truth is simply how each of us perceive things. Organized religion certainly attributes to this notion. We each make up our own truths, adhere to them and try to force them on others. I have little doubt that there are some strict laws of nature but how fixed these laws are is another matter. The only real truth we know as a society is that we just don’t know. We are killing each other in order to justify our own assumptions in defense of what we think is the truth. One man’s sin may be another’s salvation and so on. Our history is loaded with fact that is sold as fiction and vice versa. Science is constantly evolving and exposing myths and facts and in some ways starting to catch up to spiritual beliefs and actually explain them. Is it possible that someday science could explain everything? Or will it just reveal, as fractal laws suggests, that there are no conclusive answers. That we are one and we are endless.

lyrics

Haze heavy, shadows and light
A fountain of darkness on the road tonight
Picking at the ice just to get down to the stone
Hoping there’s life at the end of the tunnel

Oh, it’s a bad sign, when the black tide
flows over the road to home

You might be a slave
You might be a saint

Who’s gonna save him, from the same thing,
that saved me?

Hey, it’s scary when the jury’s out
Deadlock swimming in a sea of doubt
Picking at the flesh just to get down to the bone
Looking to the light when the gavel goes down

You might be a slave
You might be a saint

Skin on a bone-structured cage
We go out the way we came
With a given right to choose
A better version of the truth
We’re all just monkeys on a swing
Who learned to pray and write and sing
Who would kill ya just to prove
A better version of the truth

I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know and neither do you

Bow Thayer Vermont

Bow Thayer's music features his custom Bojotar and fuses experimental elements with Americana, rock, bluegrass, and folk, resulting in a singular, progressive sound that has earned descriptions ranging from “Green Mountain soul” to “modern backwoods music.” American Songwriter says this "onetime Levon Helm compatriot is the best artist to come from New England in recent years." ... more
