about

Less of a Lesson celebrates giving in and letting go.
It will be officially released online on World Meditation Day, Friday 21st of May, because the song started out with a story by Steve (drummer) about trying to calm a class full of primary school students with mindfulness.
Steve found what many of us have with meditation - the very idea of it can bring up anxiety, which is counter-productive, so sometimes it's best to not try at all but just sit with whatever is happening and breathe through it.
Et voila!
It's like the Severins middle ground between The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck and the Dalai Lama 🙂

lyrics

When I face my deep anxieties,
I just breathe beneath that frequency
When I can I shut the voices down,
I say thank you but not now
I did my best to breathe easy,
It fell apart but at least now we see ...

When the model
breaks down we’ll laugh
at all the pieces
as they float past

You've got to find a way
Your bodymind can ride this

Boppity boppity boppa calm down,
Boppity boppity bop get fluid

Don't get caught in
fight or flight,
And freeze won't do ya
no good neither

When I face my deep anxieties,
I just breathe beneath that frequency
When I can I shut the voices down,
I say thank you but not now

When the model
breaks down we’ll laugh
at all the pieces
as they float past

You've got to find a way
Your bodymind can ride this!
