In a world obsessed with speed and answers, our latest featured track is a musical deep breath. This isn’t a song that shouts its wisdom; it whispers it, like the morning sun painting gold on the street. With a melody that feels like a gentle stroll and a chorus punctuated by warm, effortless whistling, this piece offers a radical proposition: the profound peace of moving slowly.

The lyrics are a masterclass in gentle guidance. Phrases like “Questions drift like clouds in the sky” and “Truth can sing in a simple rhyme” invite listeners to release the need for external validation and instead “see from the inside.” The infectious, mantra-like chorus—“Eh-hi-pa-ssi-koh… Op-pa-na-yi-koh…”—isn’t just a hook; it’s a sonic invitation for us to give Buddha Dharma a chance in our lives, to give it a try.

Evoking the core Buddhist principle of Ehipassiko (“come and see”), the track transforms spiritual inquiry into a light, swaying rhythm. It’s a reminder that the Dharma isn’t a distant goal, but something to “watch it grow” with every calm, deliberate step. This is the sound of a quiet mind and an open heart, perfect for anyone who needs permission to be “happy just to take it slow.”

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Morning sun paints gold on the street,
Every step feels calm and sweet.
Questions drift like clouds in the sky,
You can look and wonder why.
No need to rush, just take your time,
Truth can sing in a simple rhyme.

[Chorus]
Eh-hi pa-ssi-koh… mmm, the morning starts to glow,
Op-pa na-yi-koh…, we just let it flow.
Open eyes and see,
What the heart can truly know,
The Dharma’s here — come watch it grow.
Eh-hi-pa-ssi-koh… Op-pa-na-yi-koh…
Happy just to take it slow,
Step by step, the night turns light —
Sway along, and life feels right.

[Verse 2]
Turn the page, and start where you stand,
Every truth is close at hand.
No need for someone else to decide,
You can see from the inside.
Every path begins with a view,
Every view can open to something new.

[Bridge light scat & message]
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba… mmm-mmm-mmm…
Try and taste, let it be true…
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba… mmm-mmm-mmm…
See for yourself what’s here for you…

[Chorus (repeat)]
Eh-hi-pa-ssi-koh… mmm, the morning starts to glow,
Op-pa-na-yi-koh… ah, we just let it flow.
Open eyes and see,
What the heart can truly know,
The Dharma’s here — come watch it grow.
Eh-hi-pa-ssi-koh… Op-pa-na-yi-koh…
Happy just to take it slow,
Step by step, the night turns light —
Sway along, and life feels right.

[Outro (soft)]
Eh-hi-pa-ssi-koh… Op-pa-na-yi-koh…
Come and see, just take it slow…
Every mile’s a gentle door…
Eh-hi-pa-ssi-koh…

In Buddhism, the path is one of personal verification, not divine revelation. The Buddha encouraged his followers to be logical and analytical, to test his teachings through their own experience rather than adopting them through blind faith.

May all be well and happy.
