CASTLE ROCK by Cecilia

This is a song that Cecilia wrote and created with her brother Bruce on guitar and vocals about finding your happy place – that sits inside of us, within you and your inner spirit and not in a physical location.  There is another version of this song done with the piano as the primary instrument and the guitar accompanying – transcending this song into an epic arrangement.

Therapeutic Elements:
Feel good song finding your inner peace and true authentic child self that leads to your happy place inside.  Not necessarily a physical happy place, but a state of being that you can escape to whenever life gets a little overwhelming and chaotic.  Finding your Castle Rock among the hectic media and information overload takes an acquired skill of meditation, stillness and being in the moment.

Active Listening: Listen to the lyrics and music while paying attention to how it makes you feel emotionally and mentally.  Does it uplift you?  Can you relate to the words?

Castle Rock is played on the guitar and in simple chords of C#, F#, D, E, G for grounding you comfortably into the elemental rocks and beautiful nature of Mother Earth, while keeping your heart and solar plexus in a happy and safe place – “your piece of paradise”. 

You are content with your current life and to be in the present moment, there is no lacking or wanting in your life, and you feel supported by the natural environment around you.  Be supported by the universe, and always remember to look within to find your true happiness as it is not in that new city, country or continent.

Lyrics:

Let me take you by the hand and show you what it means to be free. No need to count those pennies and dimes just to feed your conscience tree. You’ll never find your inner spark by falling for the media scams or by the authentic hoax of our ill-adopted Uncle Sam.

Find your own castle rock where you can find your inner child, escape to your happy place, your peace of heaven or into the wild.

Your castle rock is your piece of paradise. Your castle rock is where you can rise. Above all the noise and madness of the wireless overload so wake up and don’t delay as you get on the road, to find the castle rock in your heart.

Now let me take you all the way back to a purest childhood memory where your innocence gave way to a freedom now lost to simply be. That radiant soul, that shining light of love and abundance of joy, that inner spark that lies inside of every baby girl and baby boy.

Your castle rock is your piece of paradise. Your castle rock is where you can rise. Above all the noise and madness of the mental overload so wake up and don’t delay as you get on the road to the castle rock in your heart.
