about

Song 374, Modern Jedi celebrates my research and exporation of NLP, Neuro Lingustic Programming or as I prefer, Neuro Lingustic PROCESSING. NLP is essentially HOW we run our minds. How we take external events or stimuli and create meaning and action. To put it simply, it's Modern Jedi Mind Mastery.

Contrary to what people think, NLP is not about manipulating other people. It's about managing and taking charge or our OWN internal and external worlds... to get more of what we want in life and less of what we don't want.

Anyway, This is my THEME SONG! and it came out of a 20+ year practice working on my own "stuff" as well as assisting clients in overcoming adversity, anxiety, depression, fears, phobias and other challenges faster, easier, better...

The very fact that I am still here cranking out songs after 50 years of picking myself up, brushing myself off and getting back after it is proof for me that the Jedi Mind mastery stuff works. I sometimes wish I didn't need it so much... But then other times I recognize that it's all part of a much larger process that invites me to surf...

May this song get stuck in your head and cause you to "choose to change... and change is good is it not? What if every thought you thought was something you thought of rearranged?"

Peace, Love & Groovyness!

- Mark

lyrics

Lyrics:
Modern Jedi
Song #374 |11/11/07
C G
Some people walk around
C G
Looking good but feeling down
C G D
Talking love but living hate
C G
I want to dance my life,
C G
Let go of inner strife
C G D
Smooth out the wrinkles of my fate

Refrain:
C G D
I want to be a modern Jedi
C G D
Master my mind for a change
C G D
Don’t you want to be a Jedi?
C G D
Slip right out of those chains
C G D
Slip right out of those chains

Tired of being typical,
I want to be magical
Even just a little dangerous
Yoda said to use the “Force”
So I signed up for the training course
A decent teacher is a must!

Refrain:

I know you’re wondering
How your wondering
Could help you choose to change
And change is good is it not?
What if every thought you thought
Was something you thought of rearranged?

Refrain:

Bridge:
G Em C D
If you think you can, or if you think you can’t
Bm C
You’re right, your right…
G Em C D
If you think you are a particle or think you are a wave
Bm C D
You’re right, your right…

Refrain:
C G D
I want to be a modern Jedi
C G D
Master my mind for a change
C G D
Don’t you want to be a Jedi?
C G D
Slip right out of those chains
C G D
Slip right out of those chains

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks! ... more
