As Thoreau once said…

Simplify , Simplify…

Henry David Thoreau, in his book Walden, famously advocated for a life of simplicity, famously stating, "Simplify, simplify." He believed that people were frittering away their lives on unnecessary details and complexities, and that by simplifying, one could find true fulfillment and meaning.

A log cabin crouched near the water's edge The lake whispers soft like a poet's pledge The fiddle moans low like the trees in the breeze This is the life Just dirt Sky And ease

[Chorus] Simplify simplify Let it all go Trade the rush for the hush of the cicadas' glow Simplify simplify Hear the world hum In the crackle of the fire and the beat of the drum

[Verse 2] Accordion sighs like the wind through the pines A patchwork of stars No city confines The sun dips down Painting gold on the shore This life is enough I don't need any more

[Prechorus] No clocks No chains No neon No race Just the lake The land And the sky's embrace

[Chorus] Simplify simplify Let it all go Trade the rush for the hush of the cicadas' glow Simplify simplify Hear the world hum In the crackle of the fire and the beat of the drum

[Bridge] I left the clutter The chatter The mess Found peace in the stillness A quiet success The fiddle and accordion tell me their tune While the moon climbs high and the night starts to croon
