A Kind of Homecoming

Pre-Ramble
While Words Are Fun

They Don't Always HEARD
Just What ... They Should
¡ So Listen Careful !
¡ And Listen Quick !
And If Pressed For Time ...
... Just Follow ...
¡ The Bricks !
Just Follow
Follow
Follow
Follow
¡ Follow The Yellow Brick Road !

The Yellow 'Bricks' ...

YOU Have LEARNed

All Apologies To 'Cellphone' Users ...
Due to the primitive, human technology used ...
This site may be under-appreciated ...
When viewed on ... one of your so-called ... 'cellphones'
So IF .... THIS ... Is Your First Time Here ...
And You're On A 'Cellphone'
You Will DEFINITLY ...
BE MUCH HAPPIER LATER
If ONLY You WAIT ...
Until ... You Can Get Yourself ...
In Front Of ... A 'Computer' !
( jes' sayin' )
Actually ...
Most 'scrolls' are ... 'tolerable' ... on a cellphone ...
¡¡¡ BUT SOME ... ARE ... DEFINITELY ... NOT !!!
[ like the menus ]
WAY BETTER ! ... WAY !! ... ON A COMPUTER !!!
[ This Is Your Final Warning ! ]
Oh! ... and Also ...
'Sorry' for all the 'Scrolling' ...
You will have ... a LOT of it to do ... on 'Some' 'Scrolls' ...
): like this one :(
[ BTW: A Mouse ... With A Wheel ... Is A Most Excellent ... Investment ! ]
¡ Consider Yourself Warned !
Technical Difficulties
ONE has been written for ...and optimized for ...
The 'Chrome' Browser
[ Available: here ]
With a 'Zoom' value of 100%
It also seems to work fine with Firefox ...
[ Though I had to fiddle around with most 'scrolls' ... to keep the stars twinkling ... while scrolling ]
It seems to also work in the Edge browser ...
[ Though I only tested it on a 'Windows 7' version ... so no 'guarantees' ]
I 'believe' ... it 'should' ... work 'OK' ...
In Safari and Opera ...
[ but I have not thoroughly tested this ...
So You are on your own ! ]
[ I am not 'SURE' ... about 'other' ... 'browsers' ... so You'll have to ... just deal with it! ]
You might want to ... Change Your 'Zoom' Setting ... NOW ...
if it is not already set it To 100% for your browser
[ If you are not sure HOW to do this ... just 'Google' it! ]
[ For THIS Site: ... 'Size' ... Really DOES ... Matter! ]
ONE is also Best Viewed in FULL-SCREEN mode
So PRESS the 'F11' key NOW !
[ If you haven't already ]
If you wish to return to 'Normal' later on,
Simply press 'F11' again!
[ On a Mac: 'fn + F11' ... or ... 'Control + Command + F' ...
Or whatever else ... 'Mac-People' ... 'Do' ]
If You are viewing this site on Windows XP ...
or just using an old browser ... (like Internet Explorer) ...
... Then My Heart BLEEDS For You ...
... but ... 'most' 'all' of the site will still be ... 'tolerable' ...
although the Audio Controls will be VERY UGLY ...
( though still 'usable' )
[ You should use a 'Zoom' value of 125% in I.E. ]
But if you are stuck with this legacy ...
'Dinosaur' ...
PLEASE consider upgrading your browser ...
if not your Operating System ...
if at ALL ... possible
¡ Go It Alone !
It Is Highly Recommended ...That You View This Site
Alone
And In A Private Setting
( If Possible )
Because THIS Site ...
Will Take You ON ...
A VERY ...
... 'PERSONAL' ...
JOURNEY
And Each Person ... WILL Proceed ...
At Her ... or His ... Own Pace
So trying to view it ...
with another person
is 'bound' to be
counter-productive
In Addition ...
There 'may' be times ...
When You feel like laughing out loud
Or shedding tears
Or expressing some other emotion
[ Like ... 'Partisan' ... 'Rage' ]
... But IF there are other People around ...
You may feel hesitant
to do so
¡ This Is NOT ... An Idle Threat !
[ There WILL ... Be Tears ! ]
¡ Be Brave !
¡ You GOT This !

You Keep Going ... Alright?

IF You're A Helper!
IF You're A Lover!

YOU
Found
To Be 'Good'
¿ Maybe ?
¿ OK ?
¿ HUH ?
[ WHAT ... Could ... POSSIBLY ... BE ... A BETTER JOB ... Than To Just: ...
¡ 'GO EXPLORING' ! ...
And Then To Report Back On ... WHAT ... YOU ... FOUND ? ]
Maybe ... 'The Abandoners' ...
Will Give One ...
A 2nd Chance
Since It 'May' Be 'Good' ...
... If More of ...

The Linkings
Some 'Scrolls' Contain Links ...To External Sites

You'll have to Exit Full-Screen FIRST ...

'Psalms'

It Is Important ...
That You Do Not Hurry Through

Not Every Psalm ...
Will Appeal
To Everyone's

--- in general ---
will 'work'
for everyone
In addition ...
the 'scribe' ... or 'author'
is a ... 'human' ... 'being'
and makes 'human' 'mistakes'
and 'human' 'misjudgments'
Please try to overlook these ... 'human' ... 'errors' ...
and PERSEVERE ...
¡ IF YOU CAN !
Maybe some later 'scroll' ...
will be ... 'more' ...
YOUR
'Cup of Tea'

... A Note About ...
The Borrowings

For Written Permission

In 'Heaven'
Dear Artists & Creators:
'One' Is Respectfully ASKING ...
For YOUR PERMISSION ...
¡ HERE !
[ This is the part where ... 'I' ...
--- This ... 'humble' ... 'scribe' ---
... PLEADS ...
With The Artists
TO ALLOW
The Use
Of Their ...
'TIMELESS'
'CLASSICS'
And where ... 'I' ...
--- This ... 'humble' ... 'scribe' ---
Will Pull Out ALL The Stops ...
And 'Lay It ON' ...
Pretty ... Darn ... Thick ! ]
'One' ...
... Hopes ...
That The Creators ...
Borrowed from ...
Will NOT Object
--- Either From Heaven ---
--- Or From Earth ---
To Their Good Works
Being Associated
With THIS
Particular
SITE
But ... IF ... The Creators ... DO ... Object ...

Over THE ...
ULTIMATE
SOURCE
... OF THE PRE-CREATED INFRASTRUCTURE ...
... AND OF THE INITIAL INSPIRATION ...

'ONE'
WILL
IMMEDIATELY
REMOVE
THE 'OFFENDED'
'CREATIONS'
FROM
¡ THE 'ONE' SITE !
And ...
'If' ... 'Desired' ...
ONE ...
Will Also Leave ...
A PUBLIC ...
'Apology' ...
In The Place WHERE ...
YOUR 'PSALM' ...
... Once ... Upon ... A ... Time ...
:( :( :( WAS ): ): ):
... THIS: ...
In Order To 'Delineate' ...
YOUR ...
¿ 'Reasons' ?
... For NOT Wanting ...
TO BE ...
A Part Of ...
¡ ONE !

May of Course ... Specify ...
The Text of These ...

(: So That Your ... 'Former' ... 'Fans' ...
Will UNDERSTAND ... YOUR ...
'TRUE' ... 'INTENTIONS' :)
BUT ARTISTS:
PLEASE REALIZE: ...
Your 'PSALMS' ...
Were Carefully
And Explicitly
Chosen By 'One'
Because Of Their EXCELLENCE ...
And Because Of The Positive Message ...
... 'One' ...
So Urgently Wished
To Express
Which Could Not Have Been Conveyed ...
ANY BETTER
BY ANY OTHER
'Psalm'
Or Method ...
Nor Could Any Other 'Vehicle' ...
--- WITHIN ... THIS ... TIME-PERIOD ---
POSSIBLY BE ...
MORE EFFECTIVE ...
In Reaching ...
The Billions of Human Hearts ...
Which THIS Site ...
... IS ...
[ ¿ 'Impossibly' ? ]
'Trying' ...
To Reach
Each Chosen 'Psalm' ...
¡ IS IRREPLACABLE !
--- You will see this, as You travel through, 'One' ---
... And SO ...
The 'Tragic' 'Removal' ...
Of Even ONE 'Psalm'
WILL Leave ...
An UNFILLABLE GAP ...
... In The Story Of ...
'One'
... In The Story Of ...
ALL OF US
... In The Story Of ...
Our Species
... In The Story Of ...
Our Planet
... In The Story Of ...
¡ CREATION !
[ Have I ... 'Laid-It-ON' ... THICK ENOUGH ... YET ? ]
'One' Feels 'Compelled' ... To Add ... However ...
That 'One' ... Finds It Difficult To Believe
That ANY Creators
Might NOT WANT To Be Associated
With 'THE ONE' Site ...
Since It May Prove ... A Source ...
Of Introduction
Renewal
And Re-Introduction
To Past, Present, and Future Generations ...
Who Might Never, Otherwise, Enjoy ...
These Good Works
Whose 'Shelf-Life' ...
¡ SHOULD NEVER EXPIRE !
... And So That They Might Not Perish ...
... From The Face ...
Of The Earth
¡ Sad !
:(
And Besides ...
I Have a 'Strange' ...
'Mystical' ...
'Feeling'
... THAT ...
YOU WILL BE ...
¡ AMPLY REWARDED !

Some 'How' ...
In Eternity ...

You DO NOT

'Tech-Savvy'
And IF YOU ...
Are 'Probably' ... YOUNG
And IF YOU ...
JUST PLAIN ...
LIKE
MAKING
'PLAYLISTS'
On Various ... Music ... 'Streaming' ... 'Platforms'
Then 'I' ...
--- This 'Humble' 'Scribe' ---
[ Who IS ... VERY 'OLD' ... And THEREFORE ... 'CLUELESS' ]
Would Like To Ask A Favor of YOU:
Could YOU ...
'Maybe'
CREATE ... A Playlist ...
For The 'One Site' ?
On Whatever Music Streaming 'Service' ...
Or 'Services' ...
You Happen To 'Subscribe' To ?
IF YOU DO ...
Then I Will Add Your Playlist ...
To A 'Playlist's Page
[ Which I am even now ... 'Planning' ... or at least: ... 'Considering' ]
And I Will EVEN Add...
Whatever Links and Attributions ...
[ Within Reason]
That You Wish Me ...
To Include
It Would Be 'Nice' ...
To Have BOTH ...
COMPELETE Playlists
[ Of The WHOLE Site ... In Order ]
But It Would Also Be Kinda 'Cool' ...
To Also Have Playlists ...
For Individual Groupings Like:
'One-Main'
'One-Stories'
'One-Epistles-I'
And 'One-Globalize'
Now ...
I HAVE ...
NO. FRICKIN. IDEA.
Just How Much 'Work' ...
I Am Asking of You
[ Because, again, I am old and clueless ... and 'practically' 'dead' ]
So ...
Don't Spend 'Too MUCH' Time ...
Working On This
But ANYTHING You DO Produce ...
Will Be 'ETERNALLY' ...
¡ APPRECIATED !
AND ...
--- An Added Benefit ---
This 'May' Also ...
HELP ... ME ...
In 'Negotiations' ...
With The Corporate 'OVERLORDS' ...
And ... 'OWNERS' ...
Of ALL YOUR FAVORITE SONGS ...
And 'Maybe' ... 'Encourage' ... 'Them' ...
To NOT ...
'SUE' ME ...
BACK ...
INTO THE 'STONE AGE' ]
ARTISTS:
Please ... Forgive ...
This ... 'Humble' ... 'Scribe' ...
For Using Your Works ... In This Manner ...
[ And for ... er ... 'encouraging' You ... in this ... er ... 'unique' ... 'way' ]
... By not first asking for permission ...
... But the element of 'SURPRISE' ...
Was important for this site
And I wanted to 'SURPRISE'
All of YOU ... (Artists)
As much as I wanted to 'SURPRISE'
The 'General Public'
And to 'SURPRISE' ...
Everyone ...
¡ AT THE SAME TIME !
...
... But In Truth ...
[ And ... In ALL ... 'Honesty' ... I 'HAVE' ... To Admit ... ]
...I am not a 'lawyer' ...
Nor do I have ...
A 'legal' ...
'Mind'
[ Nor any kind of 'mind' ... really ]
And it was a Nightmare ...
Navigating
All the 'Red-Tape' ...
Of ... 'Copyright' ... 'Law' ...
And The Many Layers ...
Of Corporate Obfuscation ...
Just To just get to YOU ...
--- Personally ---
To 'Simply' ASK ...
For This ...
Permission
[ ESPECIALLY ... In The Cases ... Where YOU ... (The Artist) ... Was Dead ]
And I feared that my requests ...
Would be quashed ...
Long before they reached 'You' ...
By some
'Corporate'
'Policy'
Or ...
'Entity'
Or ...
'Overlord'
Or ...
'Whatever'
[ I sometimes think ... that All Artists ...
Should simply 'donate' ... their works ...
'To Humanity' ...
In Their Wills ]
[ So, Anyways ...
Please see the 'Contact One' 'Scroll' ...
Accessible from the 'InnerMission' 'Scroll' ...
If You need to ...
'Contact One' ...
About any of this unsavory ... er ... 'busyness' ]
... Soooo ...
The ... er ... 'Best' ... That I Can DO ...
At This ... Present ... 'Uncertain' ... Time-Period ...
Is To SAY:
¡¡¡ THANK YOU !!!
¡¡¡ TO ALL OF THE ARTISTS !!!
¡¡¡ REPRESENTED HERE !!!
For Your Creations ...
For Your 'Children' ...
For Your 'Culture' ...
And For Your ...
¡ Time-Period !
P. S. To Artists
I Personally ...
Want To Thank You
From The Depths of My Heart
For The INSPIRATION
That Your Songs ... Have Provided Me ...
Throughout My Lifetime
And ESPECIALLY ...
During 'My' ... 'Creation' ... Of This Website
I Believe ...
--- Yes, I Believe ---
That Whatever 'Force' ...
--- Or 'Forces' ---
Were 'Using' Me ...
To Build This Site ...
Used YOUR Songs
As My 'Temptations'
To Revisit YOUR 'Scrolls'
Time ... and Time ... Again
Just Because ...
I Wanted To HEAR
YOUR
SONGS
ONE MO' TIME ...
¡ AGAIN !
And so I would revisit Your 'Scroll'
Very ... Very... Often
And while there ...
Would re-read my own words
And refine and tweak them
More times than I can count
To 'up my game'
To try to make my words ...
Better and Better
Each time ...
To try to reach for ...
--- to some, small degree ---
The Quality
Of YOUR WORDS !
And MORE ... Than 'Just' That ...
In times when I was discouraged ...
Or doubting the whole 'Idea' of this Site
It was often ...
[ More times than I can count ]
That One of YOUR Songs ...
Heard in some 'Random' Moment
Either while listening to music on my phone
Or heard by 'Chance' on some media or other ...
That would restore my 'Faith' ...
And send me back ...
To work on this ...
Old ...
'Temporarily' ...
'Abandoned' ...
Site ...
Once Again
Just recently, in fact ...
It was an article about a 'Backup' Singer ...
Who ...
( Unbeknownst to me )
Sang ...
On a couple of 'Psalms' from this Site ...
( Either in studio ... or on tour )
Which brought me back ...
To TRY ...
Again
FYI: The Article Was About:
Dolette McDonald
(: It Would Be VERY ... 'Forward-Thinking' ... if 'Rolling Stone' ...
Moved This Article ... 'Outside' ... of its 'Pay-Wall' :)
So Artists ...
TRUST ME ...
When I Tell YOU:
THIS ... SITE
IS
What It IS
... BECAUSE OF ...
YOUR
¡ WORKS !
And, In A LOT of Ways ...
"My Muse ... Was Youse!"
Or Maybe ...
My ... Inner ... 'Muse' ...
Used ... Youse ...
To make me ... 'better'...
And to keep me ... going :)
So I Thank You For THAT ...
¡ ETERNALLY !
In The End ...
A LOT Of This Site ...
--- If not ... ALL OF IT ---
... IS ...
'Essentially' ...
'BORROWED' ...
Borrowed From Those Who ...
... SEE ...
Or HAVE SEEN ...
FURTHER
Than me ...
And so have given ...
TO me ...
Glimpses ...
Of THEIR ...
'FURTHER'
... So that I ... myself ... might strive ...
To Sojourn ...
Just a little bit Further ...
Along ...
'My' way
Along ...
THE 'Way'
What This 'Site' ... Is 'Like'
You Can ...
Think of This 'Site' ...
As A Kind Of:
'Illuminated'
'Manuscript'
But It Is Not 'Merely' ...
'Illuminated'
With Images ...
And With Pretty Colors ...
It Is Also 'Illuminated' ...
With Wisdom
And With Lovely 'Psalms' ...
To Facilitate ...
