LYRICS ---------------------------------------- 

Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday

Footsteps of spring
the city starts adding color
The melody flowsLE LU LA LI
Through the colored lenses

Whats the most important thing?

Spinning and turning on the overpass
as we overtake that season
this and that, which color is your melody?
Sometimes you could get confused

ReggaeDubHiphopTechnoLatin
Between the waves of all different values

What are you thinking of now?

If we can embrace all the differences
It will shine the sky in rainbow colors
Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday

You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Dont worry about it, lets just go as we are.
If we can embrace all the differences
The rain will stop, and the sky will shines in rainbow colors

Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday
You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Let your tone shine like the rainbow

Pass through the maze of everyday
And start playing your tone

Lily Parish - Senior Project for Austin Waldorf School

I had hoped to post this on Facebook but it's two minutes too long. Total length is 22 minutes. It's worth watching every minute to see Lily step onto the stage with such grace to present a short documentary she had been working on since the summer.  Ann McMaster took Lily with her to South Africa in the summer of 2009 so Lily could research and craft a senior project around the theme of 'A Hero's Journey' as it is played out in the lives of the three women she interviews in South Africa.  Lily did a very large portion of the story creation and editing work over the fall semester. All I did was help with the polish in Final Cut Pro to reduce the frustration factor of having to learn FCP editing while focusing on finishing her senior year at the Austin Waldorf school. FCP can be nerve racking to try to learn quickly.

Just for a little fun I added an intro that I took with a cool little Kodak HD camera. Glad I just grabbed and shot with it as it worked perfectly to show how Lily was getting ready and dealing with the stress of stepping out on stage after waiting so long for this moment (12 years actually).

 

New TomParish.com Site - it's getting there

Screen_shot_2010-04-01_at_3

 

Finally getting the new look in place for my TomParish.com site.  Next step is rewrite the Media, About and Services pages.   What is there is true but my focus is really about social media content strategies - blogs, activity streams, audio and video podcasting shows and enterprise mobility strategies - for technology companies. I want something more edgy and thought provoking and have the 'look' stand out more.  Many thanks to all that have been so helpful in this process of creating a new look. I'm excited to pull together 5 years of experience in building these platforms and producing shows that have been in existence for 5 years still producing prodigious amounts of downloads each month. (EnterpriseLeadership.org and BMC Podcast Show)

Ok so this isn't exactly the most interesting thing to post here. Tomorrow I have some thoughts on a couple of new 'chill' albums I've found that is perfect for a Friday evening of relaxing with friend(s). Do we stil call them albums if we buy them off iTunes. I guess. You buy singles like we used to buy 45 RPM records. Well actually you got two for same price.
