Description
Short Song Description:
In this rhythm and blues marine ecological protest song reminiscent of Michael McDonald's, "Takin' it to the Streets" spoken from under the water, the dolphins remind us that we aren't the only high species on the planet.
Long Song Description:
The subliminal theme is that just as the sonar blasts and pollution are degrading the lives of the dolphins, the military-industrial complex and the corporations are blocking the spiritual development of humanity and the answers lie "underneath the waves" of the water and the spirit.

Story Behind the Song:
Bruce originally composed this song in 1990 to be a duet for Bruce and Michael McDonald during the same visions leading to the invention of his water-based Spiral Violet 1 biophysics technology for the treatment of AIDS. Now both Bruce's music and his unified field theory and technology are about to hit the airwaves. Time to give Michael a ring. But until then, we'll save Michael's stratospheric vocals for the dolphins. "Dolphin Speak" the bent note C jazz rhythm and blues language. ;o)

Learn From Us
(Dolphin Speak)

Lyrics and Music
by Bruce Anderson
2008

Bruce opens with the easy stuff.

Though you're our brothers in the planetary scheme,
Our aqua world is far beyond your idle dreams,
Underneath the waves,

We live our lives and we wish not to interfere,
But you're encroaching in this world we hold so dear,
Underneath the waves,

Bridge:

Bruce strains to sing Michael's bridge.

You say that the best things in life are free,
But you've never really recognized your true destiny,
We're living it all of our lives,
Under the waves,

And what do you think that the future will hold,
If you don't raise up your eyes and live the legends of old,
And leave all illusions you see,
Under the waves,

Abbreviated chorus without St. Michael.

Learn from us,
-

Dolphin speak synth solo.

Translation:

You take our children,
The future of our sacred breed,
Now we must ask that you not extend your greed,
Underneath the waves,

Chorus:

Bruce repeats "Learn from us!" dumbly. St. Michael instructs humanity while whaling in the stratospheric frequency range unbeknownst to mere landlubbing terrestrial mortal neophytes, with subliminal VLF undertones rendering the unconscious minds of the listeners highly amenable to hypnotic marine eco-friendly suggestion. ;o) Say hi to Fagen the Pagan! LOL Donald and Walter are everybody's dissonant linguistic heroes. I need to purchase Fagen's composition DVD to resurrect this chord transition to its former suspenseful glory. How do you like my technicolor motor home? ;o) http://www.timeforrevolution.com/photos/37

Learn from us!
We've kept an eye on humanity,
Learn from us!
Can't really say we like what we see,
Learn from us!
What will it take for you to put them away,
Learn from us!
These evil weapons you carry today,
Learn from us!
The highest life forms on the land and the sea,
Learn from us!
This planet's future is you and me,
Learn from us!
The peaceful life that we live under the waves,
Learn from us!
Should be a lesson for your animal ways,

Insert Fagenish chord transition #2.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah, Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah!
(That was Michael the mariner)

Learn from us!
Learn from us!
We're maturing 33rd degree Scottish Rite Freemason initiate kings! ;o)
Learn from us!
