Intro (Meg Anderson, Jeremy Cox) Meg Anderson - vocals, midi harp Phoebe Spier - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion Matt Aurand - percussion Rhoda - (Meg Anderson. Words by Virginia Woolf) Meg Anderson - vocals, midi harp Phoebe Spier - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion Matt Aurand - percussion Yet there are moments when the walls of the mind grow thin And nothing is unabsorbed And i could fancy that we might blow so vast , So vast a bubble that  , The sun might set , And rise in it And we might take , The blue of midday And the black of , Midnight and be cast off , And escape from here and now  , As if a miracle had happened And life were stayed here and now And said rhoda we had no more to live  , And you're all there , Caught in understanding I know you, loo loo loo loo And i could fancy that , We might go so vast , So vast and wild away Away Jinny - (Meg Anderson. Words by Virginia Woolf) Meg Anderson - vocals Carrie Owen - vocals Paul Owen - vocals Parrish Collier - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion, fender rhodes, beatbox Jamsion Sevits - percussion, keyboards, beatbox, trumpet Annette Bjorling - harp , 'Jinny' began in 2006 when I was a student at the Bloom School of Jazz. The first riff of the song came on the buss ride home after working the Aeolian mode in class. I began building on and later arranged it for an adaptation of Virginia Wolfe's playpoem, 'The Waves' in November 2009. , After that show, Jeremy took the rehearsal-recording and secretly worked on it with Jamison, adding auxiliary percussion and other lilting and groovy moments. I was so surprised and delighted and we carried it around with us for a year until the tour when we finally overlaid the vocals. How proudly we sit here Dazzle of youth All's clear all's firm , Without shadow or illusion Our flesh is firm and cool Our differences are clear cut  , As the shadow of rocks in full sunlight Days and days are to come The fruit is swollen beneath the leaf Winter days summer days  , With infinite time before us What shall we do Watch the coals turn crimson Reach for books shout with laughter? All is to come  , For one moment only before the chain breaks Before disorder returns see us held in a vice But now the circle breaks the current flows the passions grow And pound us with their waves jealously envy desire And now something deeper than they stronger than love And more subterranean , Net of light loop of time ring of steal white words Islands of light swimming on the grass  , With infinite time before us What shall we do Watch the coals turn crimson Reach for books shout with laughter? All is to come  , I could make a dozen stories , Of what he said of what she said And i can see a dozen pictures But what are stories toys i twist bubbles i , Blow one ring passing through another And sometimes i doubt if there are stories What is my story what is rhoda's what is neville's There is truth there is fact , That it true, that is fact But beyond is all darkness and conje . . .  ,cture Felicity - (Jeremy Cox, Meg Anderson) Meg Anderson - vocals Jeremy Cox - piano Jamsion Sevits - trumpet Matt Aurand - bass guitar Annette Bjorling - harp Jeremy wrote this song for his new baby niece, Felicity, who we had the privilege of meeting when she first arrived this past October 2011.  , Lightseed - (Meg Anderson) Meg Anderson - vocals, keyboard Carrie Owen - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion, vocoder, drum programming Matt Aurand - bass guitar , Anitya Movement 1 - (Meg Anderson) Meg Anderson - vocals, percussion Carrie Owen - vocals Jeremy Cox - percussion Matt Aurand - percussion Fred Poetzsch - drum programming , Mid-Tour on our drive from the midwest to the Portland, I played this ditty for Jeremy that I had sung in a cafe in the fall of 2005. The melodies and rhythms came in pieces, so it didn't occur to me to put them on the album -- It overwhelmed me to think of creating one song out of them. Then Jeremy suggested three different movements. Brilliant. , Carrie does an exquisite job on all three. I arrived at her house in Sacramento to rehearse and heard her crystal clear voice effortlessly ringing through the walls. A composer's dream. , The other aspect of Anitya Movement 1 that continues to delight me is the syncopation that Jeremy and Matt created with clapping! I like it so much it makes me laugh. I have never really known the meaning of the lyrics for Anitya Movements 1 and 2. Like most of the songs, the music came first on these too, but in this case I never bothered to apply words that made much sense, leaving it as a mixture of gibberish and nonsense phrases, until it was time to record. Then I shaped them a little further, but not much, into a meaning that I was beginning to glean from them. So they remain a bit cryptic with pieces of 'sense'. I'd be interested in your interpretation. Anitya Movement 1 a matter of course and tender as i , d d d dee ya... d d d dee i am as i, , dear at end of the day we hand it all away d d d d ... , ... The end of the end of the end of the end of doo doo doo doo dee ya i'm the leaf , and to the soil i spin and go dying , d d d d dee yea... doo doo doo doo dee ya i'm allegiance , lu lu lu lucky hold me in combat i commin ahind you and he and i , who are the babies, i could amaze these ba ba ba ... do doo doo doo doo i hum i high and die along the hundred flips from the ant hill so mind we have all behind i and an angel dim why and by the fire i saw higher a moment my head n i all came a sire and know i'm not any in a fog i offer that shower n n now you see the fire in my head and n now you see my gender call it a sea shell gone, covered up on the land gone to sand the end i fold into fool's illusion doo doo doo... hey doo doo doo... these and i , start with rock end in sand silly mind make sense of the eternal i was on the edge to fall a lonely demon count all the reminders long list you know boom whatever that you were, then such a ride now a lie when i am a tomb i am a diamond  ,  , , Anitya Movement 2 - (Meg Anderson) Meg Anderson - vocals Carrie Owen - vocals Jeremy Cox - piano, drum programming Anitya Movement 2 i am owning , up , in order to enter into see what , i brought to the surface when you were sleeping we opened up in a dream you were standing too close to the , edge and , the sun brightly sinking , we'll be faceless in the end of the end of the eternal star grows up and swallows these and i hand in light rehearsal hang night in front of the eternal Somebody brought the world to light and opened up a hole in the sky wide open are the fools wide open the wise come gently oh my heart the right path to find said i said it all in a light bright he is loving these and i hi we see the sky somebody brought the world to light and opened up a hole in the sky , wide open are the fools wide open the wise come quickly oh my heart the right path to fly Anitya Movement 3 - (Meg Anderson) Meg Anderson - vocals Carrie Owen - vocals , I've been carrying the first line of this song for years imagining Carrie's voice the whole time just to hold in my mind the proper vocal application -- I didn't know I would be recording the lady herself 5 years later. What a blessings. . . I think we got it right. , The rest of the lyrics and tune were inspired by a conversation Jeremy, Carrie and I had about reincarnation and samsara. Carrie, conveniently holding a Religious Studies Degree, filled in some gaps for us in these basic concepts and beliefs and the conversation was good and filling, The melody and lyrics effortlessly poured out of me the next day. , The song is both a realization - the freedom found in 'Anitya' being the only constant -- and it is also a lament for and a commiseration with each human being who struggles for relief from the great search no matter how mundanely it manifests. , Anitya Movement 3 oo oo oo oo I carry this to freedom oo oo oo oo and break my site in a thousand shards of light delude my heart up to an annihilated height , and cancel day with night and all my answer effortlessly come streami- Shop: odax

Lily loves 'the boy music'- asks for it daily in the car? She requests the lullaby (also my fav- sounds a little 'Yo La Tengo' to me...) Really, really great- very clever and entertaining...' - Alison and Lily G. About the Creators Opus Ditty & the Joyride Jet Engine Bus was independently created and released by Kevin Meeker and Ali Wood, an ambitious and creative pair living in Brooklyn. Having spent over 5 years in the music industry, as a professional recording engineer, Kevin now has the pleasure of utilizing his trade skills for his own artistic persona, Opus Ditty. On top of writing, producing, and engineering this debut children's record, Kevin also performs in and around Brooklyn as a children's music teacher, and proud staff member of the Brooklyn based Children's Music & Arts Program, Artscetera (Artscetera.com). Kevin's musical counterpart Ali, spent the better part of the 1990's in the New York indie-rock scene as a lead vocalist, and is now earning her Master's in Creative Arts Therapy, at Pratt University, in Brooklyn. With her rock & roll background, and having worked in the past for a variety of social services, as well as a pre-school, Ali not only offers Opus Ditty a hip musical instinct, but also a great deal of experience in early childhood development, and education. Together this creative team aspires to support and further the use of the Arts in fostering education, awareness, and life-skills in the community. The Opus Ditty Back-story Opus Ditty grew up on a farm in rural Ohio. As a boy, his favorite time of day was when the chores where done. Afterwards he would sit on the front porch listening to his grandfather tell stories about all the adventures he had traveling around the world, while his grandmother played old 45's in the front room. Listening to those stories, Opus got to thinking, and decided to have some adventures of his own, so he built the Joyride Jet Engine Bus out of spare parts he found in the barn. He loaded up the bus with his favorite instruments and set off to see the world. He traveled to every continent, making friends and writing songs about all the things he did and saw. Everywhere that Opus went, two things were always the same. First, was that everybody and everything seemed to experience the world in their own unique way. Second was that, out of all the ways people related to their world, music & dancing seemed to make the most sense. In 2005, Opus' travels led him to New York City, where by chance he encountered an experienced recording engineer Kevin Meeker. Kevin had recently relocated from Los Angeles to New York seeking, in his own words, 'something more...worthwhile to do.' Having had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of recording artists over the years, Kevin knew a talent we he saw one. He immediately struck up a partnership with Opus, and in early 2006, the two created the seamless audio adventure now known as Opus Ditty & the Joyride Jet Engine Bus.- Shop: odax
