Words are powerful things. How we speak to and about ourselves, others, situations, places, things, etc. will make or break our experience. In "The Four Agreements," Don Miguel Ruiz talks about being impeccable with your word. The yogis acknowledge the formative power of our words, for good or for bad, as well. Im paraphrasing my teachers at D’Vine Yoga Institute in Rishikesh, India and One Yoga in Thailand but "Whatever is spoken by one devoted to Satyam (truthfulness), will come true.' "Wisdom Tooth" is about keeping that power in mind and then choosing our speech wisely. Relating to ourselves in a more loving and positive way, having more compassion towards others, and speaking good things into our lives.
This song is more than about the simple practice of not telling lies. When I say "speak your truth as you know it to be" I mean speak from the deepest and truest part of yourself. live from that place and speak with your actions. offer your uniqueness and gifts into this life.
I wrote “Wisdom Tooth” during COVID after reading Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements. The first agreement is 'Be Impeccable With Your Word,’ which means words have power. Use them wisely because they create the world you see. I’m not one to try and tell others what to do so this, like many of my songs, is a letter to myself in my own efforts to reframe my thinking to be more positive. This song is also a reminder to be mindful of how I/we speak to myself/ourselves and each other.
Musically, I’ve rewritten and rearranged this song at least three times. This features a fun progression inspired by folk and Hawaiian slack key guitar. To bring an extra element and fill out the sound, I incorporate percussive elements to provide a rhythm and backbeat behind the bass and melody.
