Tomorrow From Yesterday
by Michael Doyle

I'm listening to the memories
I'm studying all the melodies
I'm listening to a lifetime of sounds
Quietly mesmerized by what I've found

Going all the way back to 1965
It's almost before I was alive
Here on the sonic avenue of something more
Are the soul beats I love and explore

Pushing backwards from 2024
I open my mind and heart to that something more
Exploring progressive rock from both sides
I find my passions in what I cannot hide

From the proto-progressive to The Doors
I have been open to perceptions that point to more
There is, today, a low new sense of vibe
And it's okay, I know I don't have to decide

Music is as it comes to be understood
What we like, we define as what's good
Hasn't it always been that way?
It will remain as much tomorrow as it was yesterday
