Worlds Apart 04:59
World’s Apart Music & Lyrics By John Zay It’s friday afternoon and the sun is on its way down The wind knocks on your front door but there’s no one around You’re caught up in a moment whose time has come and gone You walk outside and fall into the comfort of your car The road leads you into the past, a dream so very far Your looking for a moment whose time has come and gone In this world of illusion it’s so hard to see a world that seems to take away, what you believe Breathe alone and find your way – your world's apart Know that help is here today - your world's apart your world's apart…. Sifting through the pictures from a lifetime ago Talking to each other about a place we called home Reaching for a moment whose time has come and gone In this world of illusion it’s so hard to see a world that seems to take away, what you believe Breathe alone and find your way - your world's apart Know that help is here today - your world's apart Fading memories So hard to get your life on track Wander Off into the sun I know there's a part of you that wants to come back Breathe alone and find your way - your world's apart Know that help is here today - your world's apart your world's apart......yea - your world's apart

Shadows 04:30
Shadows -Lyrics & Music by John Zay I see the pain in all the world it burns my heart inside Children hurt lives destroyed I can't make sense of why As healing means within in our reach are hidden from us all the time -- Frozen - with all your dreams a shadow falls on the soul Taken - away from your home and left out in the cold -- As one gets hurt another knows we've stepped into a new game But all this means is transparency will give our shadows their say – Frozen - with all your dreams a shadow falls on the soul Taken - away from your home and left out in the cold -- When will this end... as sickness breathes and fear runs high There's no one left to offend... A battles yet to come What have we done? -- Frozen - with all your dreams a shadow falls on the soul Taken - away from your home and left out in the cold Breaking - from all your ties you're running out of breath A measured move - complete with the news you've had enough of all this senseless death.. A shadow falls on the soul...

Mind's Eye 03:45
Lyrics & Music by John Zay Fell into the longest dream I looked around and found the queen she was there, waiting for me all along Taken on a journey through both time and space nothing's a waste in the dark I felt a love so strong Welcome to your mind's eye feel free to look inside Welcome to your mind's eye it's time to take a ride I don't want to lose control when I feel like I'm falling apart Letting go becomes so hard when you don't know where to start You had chosen to go first you broke the ice it wasn't always nice the path was there by your design So welcome to your mind's eye feel free to look inside Welcome to your mind's eye you can see the pain go by I don't want to lose control when I feel like I'm falling apart Letting go becomes so hard when you don't know where to start This is our journey we fall into each others arms and we give ourselves freely to love...to love....to love

Lyrics by John Zay Music by John Zay with Angelo Moore & Jack Stein Sitting on top of water with a smile From point to peak I think it must be a mile Losing reality Caught up in mystery A sense of wonder has taken over me Leading myself into a world with no end From dusk ‘til dawn the sand becomes my friend You move my body And we become so alive I look at you I feel the will to survive Long Enough This is not the time to hesitate Wanderlust She is my seductress I can’t wait There are no words to explain who I am I am that I am - am I that I am We are who we are Are we who we are? It takes a minute To realize that we’re all from the stars Long Enough This is not the time to hesitate Wanderlust She is my seductress I can’t wait woh oh oh woh oh -head down to the water -yea, to the healing waters -yea, to the mother ocean

Since 2008 I’ve been studying Indigenous Plant Medicine healing. One of my main teachings has been that although we still generally live in a mind based culture we are so much more than just our minds. We need to integrate our body, heart and spirit as well.

The music I write is mostly about emotional processing. It’s what I feel needs to be done when let’s face it, so many of us have been emotionally stunted. For me the only way out of an emotion is to go through it. My songs are meant to be cathartic not only for me but for you as well, the listener. So thank you for getting to know my music and I hope it inspires you on your own journey…..

-John Zay Maschio

• Angelo Moore, Lead Singer of Fishbone

“I literally was impressed by what was pumping from my speakers! John Zay has a vocal quality that would mix well in any progressive rock outfit. All of the songs stay well grounded without becoming pretentious. This is just good rock music, and not the standard fare being offered the masses.”
• The Phantom Tollbooth
