Gyppin’ the Brave New World / Wohin Gehen

These two songs both speak to the difficulty we sometimes face in accepting our own inherent nature. At times we are our own worst enemies. I wrote the lyrics for Gyppin’ some time ago. It was probably closer to the time period when I wrote the music for Wohin Gehen. The opposite is also true. I wrote the lyrics for Wohin Gehen much more recently, nearer to the music for Gyppin’. It hadn’t occurred to me until I sat down to try and say something about them, but it seems they are something of a pair.
