Sometimes, words fall short, unable to capture the hurricane of my mind. So I turn to my outlet of song: why use more word when fewer word do trick. This is one of the songs from our Willamette CLM album. This song is particularly meaningful to me as it captures the adversities one faces as a certified berry picker and shows how the mind wanders in the quiet of the forest. Some may say I am an overthinker, but I say no I am a dreamer, a dreamer of a bright future. In this future, I am free, driving through endless open roads in my truck. Beside me are two dogs (Liam and Neeson). They are my sons, my friends, my peace. Together, we chase the American dream: a life full of hope and freedom. I hope you too are a dreamer and enjoy this musical masterpiece from our album (Bagpipes and Barking by the Campfire).
Bagpipes and Barking by the Campfire
Going down the highway, Rd 22 im on my way Pulling up to my hideaway, gonna get some good berries today. I found some Huckleberry, BaneBerry, and Snow. Collecting 20% of berries I look high and low. I found a motherload of berries and try not to have a heart attack, But in my head I know there ain't no turning back So I pick up my burlap sack and start the berry picking. I'm picking, tripping, and kicking but you know that I ain't quitting. I am doing my main berry mission, standing in my power position I see my friends Katie and Ash wishing that they weren't itching from all the blackberry thorns we just walked through. Two doggies in the back, nothing in my burlap sack, Rolling down the highway, never looking back, Berries on my mind, and the sun on my track, Dreaming of two doggies in the back, nothing in my burlap sack. I'm still picking, I'm kicking, till the sun starts to fade, But with these berries in my hand, I know I've got it made, Still dreaming of two doggies in the back, and I’m right on the attack, Filling up my sack, there’s no turning back! Ayeee its dj dirty E on the track check it!! I got berries in my sack marking it off on my GIS Map. Dont worry don't fret I aint no threat im just a berry picking pro no no wait i'm a god thats right im a god oh dang I Dropped the berry pod that means im a fraud ok so im flawed but that dont mean i haven't clawed my way to the top of this berry hill You won't hear me still til I grab a couple mil of berries for my bag Invasive species i will flag you won't catch me lag until my mission is filled. I said my mission is filled DJ Dirty E is on this track with a full burlap sack it's time to take it back to the chorus get that! Two doggies in the back, something in my burlap sack, Rolling down the highway, never looking back, Berries on my mind, and the sun on my track, Dreaming of two doggies in the back, something in my burlap sack. I'm still picking, I'm kicking, till the sun starts to fade, But with these berries in my hand, I know I've got it made, Still dreaming of two doggies in the back, and I’m right on the attack, Filling up my sack, there’s no turning back! The clock says that its 4:30 you know what that means, its the end of todays berry dreams Until tomorrow my heart will swallow the memories that were made on this beautiful berry day. For the day cannot always stay so I will go home and pray that I can be blessed by another berry array.
