Do What Makes You Happy (I Once Met a Wise Woman)

---

One man. One Didgeridoo. One twelve-string guitar. One set of foot drums. One megatonne of energy.

---

Shalom salaam Dsounders & Steemit crew! This song called, **I Once Met a Wise Woman**, with the positive affirmation chorus of **DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY** was performed live in the studio as a one-man band to a studio audience one very hot, sweaty Summer's night in Sydney, Australia.

What is freedom?
Not being bound by the conventions and rules of society brings you freedom.
Being present in the moment brings you freedom.
Doing what you love most brings you freedom.
Doing what makes you happy is freedom personified.

It is taken from my Lucky Man album - itunes.apple.com/au/album/lucky-man/377167695.

As with all of my one-man band performances, everything was played by me simultaneously.
NO loops.
Nothing prerecorded.
(Caveat: I did later sing a vocal overdub to add an extra flavour of sweetness whilst the didgeridoo was playing)

Huge thanks to you!

LYRICS:
I once met a wise woman,
In a time when I was so down,
And she healed my heart of confusion,
Stopped my head from spinning around,
And she spoke of life as so simple,
As long as you're living it free,
And the pain you feel in any moment,
Will just go if you just let it be.

She said, "Do what makes you happy!
Do what makes you happy inside!
Do what makes you happy!
Do what makes you happy inside!"
All else is a waste of,
All else is a waste of your time.

We danced and played in the moonlight,
And we sank 2 bottles of wine,
Although my head had been low,
My heart began to grow,
As my sorrow changed with the tides,

She said, "Do what makes you happy!
Do what makes you happy inside!
Do what makes you happy!
Do what makes you happy inside!"
All else is a waste of,
All else is a waste of your time.

I once met a wise woman,
Who taught my heart how to sing,
And although she is gone,
Her smile lingers on,
Her lessons to all I shall bring.

She said, "Do what makes you happy!
Do what makes you happy inside!
Do what makes you happy!
Do what makes you happy inside!"
All else is a waste of,
All else is a waste of your time.
