Blue Buddha

from After Dark by Not for Pussies

/

about

The Blue medicine Buddha is the one to turn to for healing. After having a ruptured appendix removed, Janette painted a self portrait as the Blue Buddha as part of her healing process (not as sacreligious as you'd think.. seems you can visualise yourself as the Buddha.. after all, we are all One)... The song came a bit later and related more to the general human condition. We could all do with some healing!
Janette: "This is one of the first songs where I had the confidence to really let rip with the vocals. It was a blast!" Pointer Sisters, here we come!

lyrics

Blue Buddha

Blue Buddha - gimme some of your medicine
Blue Buddha - you got the cure for everything
Blue Buddha - how'd I get to be such a mess?
Blue Buddha - all I want is a taste of bliss

What should I do? Should I wait?
Do I just sit still and meditate?
Show me the light. Give me a clue.
I just want to be serene like you.

Blue Buddha - you got the powre to heal.
Blue Buddha - tune into how I feel.
Blue Buddha - how'd I get to be such a mess?
Blue Buddha - take me into the emptiness.

None of it's real. All that I feel.
We're all dreaming some kind of ideal.
Whatever's here. Whatever's true.
We're all reflections in the face of You.

Oh gimme some of your
I really need, I really need some of your
Oh gimme some of your
Bliss.....

Not for Pussies came into being in 2008, although Brian and Janette Kidd have been together - and playing music together (and with others) for much, much longer.
We felt we're into an era in our lives where Bette Davis' quote about getting older (it's "not for pussies") felt very apt - and our music reflects this - and the experience of having lived a little! ...
