Sometimes we all need a little inspiration. Today I am getting mine from one of my favorite song writers; Tommy Shaw of Styx. In 1998 Tommy took a break from the huge stage and did a little solo album that became one of his greatest works. 

 7 Deadly Zens is an import album distributed by Phantom Import Distribution. If you can get your hands on a copy, I highly recommend that you do! You can also download it, but this one is worth holding in your hands.

Inspiration (Mona Lisa) is a great track and one that runs through my head often.  I hope you find your inspiration as well…

- Inspiration -

 You say anything is possible

I say I believe what you believe

If you say it, I’d say it is true

 I dream and in my dreams I think of you

So real, it’s like the way I turn to you

When I awake

I wanna see you there all the time

 ’Cause I need your inspiration

I need your guiding light

This is my invitation

Come on and be my world tonight

 There’s a place

Where everything is beautiful

Love rules and everything is do-able

But that world seems such a vision away

 I give up everything I ever had

Walk away, leave this crazy life behind

If I knew that you’d be the one by my side

 I need your inspiration

I need your guiding light

This is my invitation

Come on and be my world tonight

 And I would run through the gauntlet

I would scream in the Vatican

I would laugh my resignation

I would dance naked in the sand under moonlight

 Every brick and every stone and shingle laid

Every dream and every little plan we make

We’ll build a world more beautiful

Than anyone has ever made

 I need your inspiration

I need your guiding light

This is my invitation

Come on and be my world tonight

- Mona Lisa -

 The most wonderful thing you’ve ever seen…
