This is the second song on The Resonance WITHIN from the “Eleguá suite.” This one more specifically deals with the choices that we make in our lives, and the crossroads that we stand at every time we walk out our door, and are faced with a question, “who do we choose to be today?” Every minute, we are faced with infinite choices: do we want to make a bad situation worse or better? Do we avoid that person in need or not? Do we ignore the challenges around us, or move headfirst into finding a solution? Maferefun Elegua for your guidance in all of these matters! Musically, I like to think of this song as the love child of Stevie Wonder, the Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, and Snarky Puppy, whose meditations on musical themes inspired the ending motif of this (and other songs on this album like Nature’s Law). This is always a great one to perform live in that it has a danceable groove, thoughtful lyrics, and enough twists and turns to keep the intellectual types engaged.
