I Won't Sing No Saaad Songs

Songs carry weight in our minds and our hearts. We repeat them and sing them throughout our day. Why would I want to be thinking about heartbreak all day? Songs about positivity are a first step toward world change.

Tied Up Tied Down

I believe we need to take our life in our own hands and make the choices that are right for us. Think for yourself, and do what you love. This song reminds us to make conscious choices about what we do, and not allow ourselves to be kept down by others vision of what life is.

Always Lose to You

written by: Sky Nelson

genre: pop

This seems like a broken heart song, but it is really (for me) about feeling betrayed by Life. I think we all reach times when we feel like there is nothing we can do to win, and yet life encourages us to keep going. In the end, we may ultimately move forward, but can also learn from those times of difficulty.

We Are the Ones (We've Been Waiting For)

written by: Sky Nelson

genre: pop

This song was inspired by Obama's speech of the same title. The phrase dates back at least to a Native American tribe, and has been used many times in history. To me, it sums up the reason why I care about Obama's campaign and have dedicated so much to that effort.

Tied Up Tied Down

We all have to make choices in life, and sometimes those choices lead away from our greater good. Sometimes we don't even realize it as we make one small decision after another that leads us away from our dreams. After all, we trust the advice of our elders. But who really knows the best for us?

Greet the Dawn

I feel we need hope and meaningful lullabies in this world. This song acknowledge the difficult changes happening in the world, but reminds us that we are and important part of the world to, and we must keep things in perspective. The world needs each of us to find a reason to believe.

The only thing we can change is ourselves. Yet this can change the world.

Sky Nelson has devoted much of his muse to music, playing piano since the age of three and studying with numerous private teachers in many genres, spending time at Berklee College of Music and UC Berkeley, and working as band leader for a well known hip hop artist.

Yet he is also becoming known for his work in theoretical physics on the principles behind synchronicity or ‘meaningful coincidences’. Sky’s passions of spirituality, physics (BA Physics, UC Berkeley), and activism have led him to develop this theory based on core principles of modern physics, and he has presented at conferences and other organizations around the west coast presenting his views. His personal discovery of synchronicity has led him to many incredible experiences, including meeting future president Barack Obama face to face and handing him a music video devoted to his campaign (“We Are the Ones (We’ve Been Waiting For)”).

His passions have come together in his work with the Science of Mind community, performing his songs weekly in many Centers for Spiritual Living around the country. This non-denominational spiritual community has provided the perfect outlet for his positive songwriting and his motivational message about the power of living in synchronicity.

Sky has partnered with Rev. Barbara Leger to create a workshop titled “When somebody MUST Win, Everybody Loses”. In it, they examine the importance of cooperation at a personal as well as global level, both from a metaphysical and from a scientific point of view. Sky provides both musical inspiration and discussion of current scientific progress. The workshop was highlighted at the Asilomar Conference center in 2010.

Sky has won numerous awards for his songwriting, including the West Coast Songwriters Best Song and Best Performance, honorable mention Indie International 2008, and honorable mention (People’s Choice) Song of The Year contest 2009. His writing on the nature of synchronicity has been published in New Thought Magazine and Science of Mind Magazine.

Sky became a first time dad in 2009, and that experience has driven his physics work and his music to a deeper level. His next album is due to release in October 2010, entitled “Live in Love”.
