I don’t wanna preach, we’ve had enough of that I don’t wanna screech, I’m not that kinda cat He’s come down among us, he’s hairy & humongous & he’s come to show us the way Show us the way, to a brighter today Inter-dimensional Sasquatch from outer-space He’s come down among us, he’s hairy & humungous & he’s come to show us the way I was walking in the woods one day, what do you think I saw? It was a peaceful, pleasant day, what do you think I saw? Suddenly to my surprise, what do you think I saw? Something taking very big strides, what do you think I saw? It was a hairy-looking, big-footed, arm-swinging, ape-looking man & I stopped & stared, froze & shook, I jumped up, & I ran, & I ran It was a hairy-looking, big-footed, arm-swinging, ape-looking man & I stopped & stared, froze & shook, I jumped up, & I ran, & I ran "Come back." he said inside my head, "the time is late I must relate Here comes the dusk & so I must, give these words to you "Fear not we come in peace to this land of a distant sun To the people & the trees the truth is we’re all one "There are 7 colors in the spectrum that you’ve seen But it’s important that you know subterranean green" Long, long away in the distant future There will be a man by the name of Narluga He'll live in a land that we now call Alaska His parents will say, "Son, we gotta ask ya You see, we're the last of our clan & we live in a dying land So travel the time bridge & stop this If you can "Narluga, Narluga Narluga, Narluga "Our great grandfather's weren't so great They certainly weren't the brightest primates They didn't have much respect for this place They poisoned their own living space So go back into the past Go now & do it fast Tell them their home is dying & dying fast "Narluga, Narluga Narluga, Narluga"

Sasquatch sees 8 colors, red orange yellow green & blue Sasquatch sees 8 colors, indigo & violet, too But the 8th color the Sasquatch sees, that’s invisible to you & me Is the color in between, we’ll call it subterranean green! Chock-a-doodle-bop! The present is the thing, past & future are fiction If you want to be happy, you’ve got to set illusions free Freedom’s only freedom when, everyone is free to sing The force that makes the stars to shine, is also what ferments your wine When your self is empty is, when the universe can bless Peace must come from inside you, & radiate through all you do The thought of thinking thoughts, is always just another thought Subterranean Green we are all one if you know what I mean Subterranean Green we are all one if you know what I mean Subterranean Green we are all one if you know what I mean Subterranean Green we are all one if you know what I mean

Inter-dimensional Sasquatch from outer-space Traveled the time bridge to save the human race Inter-dimensional Sasquatch from outer-space Traveled the time bridge to save the human race He says, “I can’t save you, you’ve gotta save yourself I’m not the messiah, but I’m here to help.” Inter-dimensional Sasquatch from outer-space Inter-dimensional Sasquatch from outer-space Traveled the time bridge to save the human race Inter-dimensional Sasquatch from outer-space Traveled the time bridge to save the human race He says, “I can’t save you, you’ve gotta save yourself I’m not the messiah, but I’m here to help.” Inter-dimensional Sasquatch from outer-space So we sing this Sasquatch song From Japan to Saskatchewan, From England’s shores to the River Nile Sasquatch you’ve returned our smile So if you’re looking for peace & love Don’t look out there, don’t look above For Sasquatch lives inside of you’re heart & mine And you know he’s been there the whole time So we sing this Sasquatch song From Japan to Saskatchewan, From England’s shores to the River Nile Sasquatch you’ve returned our smile So we sing this Sasquatch song From Japan to Saskatchewan, From England’s shores to the River Nile Sasquatch you’ve returned our smile

The year was 2030 or 40 something Humanity was in danger from themselves Our hero Narluga did a dumb thing That inspired this heroic tale He traveled the time bridge in the woods In a last ditch effort to find help He found Sasquatch or maybe I should Say Sasquatch found him but oh well In any event the Sasquatch revealed Their formula for cutting through illusion To put an end to war & heal This world but some saw this as intrusion & that’s our story thusly far There’s also some far out stuff About changing colors & bubble space-cars But I think for now that’s enough

I’m singing a song about the moon, about the moon Don’t get me wrong, it’s a catchy tune, it’s a catchy tune But it’s meant to draw attention not to itself, not to itself But to the moon that it mentions, the moon itself, the moon itself

The General Man addressed the crowd, “Men of earth get your jabby things out! Don’t listen to these Sasquatch Songs, Send those Big Feet back where they belong They’re here to enslave our bodies & minds, Just don’t let them stultify you with kindness I say we will die before with them we go, At any cost protect thy ego!” “We’re only here to help,” said the Squatch, “Over your emotions please keep watch. They have their place but don’t give them the reigns, Or they will drive you quite insane "The ego certainly is a lovely flower, But it has no self-existence or power If you pull the petals off one by one You’ll find that soon you’re left with none "Above all don’t give into hate For that will surely seal your fate & hate you may be quite surprised To learn is just a good disguise" “What’s that” said General Man, “I hear? A disguise for what?” Sasquatch said, “Fear” Yea, though we walk through The Valley of Incomprehension We will fear no Sasquatch And need we mention The Big Footed gurus in all their hues Are here to guide me & you We will ride their Bubbles to the other shore, but not for real, it’s a metaphor

Perhaps you're waiting for the end of this here tale Happily ever after, all’s well that does end well We can't sit by when the temp is risin' Famine, wars, disease uncured We can’t just watch, we must live like Sasquatch Then the last scroll will be unfurled & I looked & I saw the Sasquatch on the mountain Fur the hue of straw, her voice bubbling like a fountain & down her leg rolled a giant egg & the egg cracked open then W/ a sound like lightning, very frightening & I knew it was the end The end of inaction & the end of apathy For the egg was crackin’, for you & also me Now the pen is in your hand, the pen is in my hand It’s time to take a stand and right the wrongs across this land & once we write ‘em, cross ‘em out & with our voices loudly shout Subterranean green, you know what I mean You are me & I am you, one plus one don’t equal two The you I see in your eyes is the me you see in my eyes We are all each one another in disguises undercover If you can take a train It pollutes much less than a plane Love the greatest to the least If you’re able bicycle To cut down on fossil fuel Give to all those in need A well insulated house also Is the earth friendly way to go Friends may be enemies at first glance If you don’t eat so much meat It will cut the methane that leads to heat Knowledge conquers ignorance Consume less, DIY Try to buy locall-eye Love the greatest to the least We can do it if we work together Narluga, Sasquatch, birds of a feather Every creature, plant or beast Subterranean green, you know what I mean You are me & I am you, one plus one don’t equal two The you I see in your eyes is the me you see in my eyes We are all each one another in disguises, undercover

about

From 2015-2018 I recorded a number of albums chronicling the epic tale of the inter-dimensional Sasquatches from outer space and the time-traveling earth hero, Narluga. “The Sasquatch Saga: Abridged” is a collection of songs from those earlier albums, for the purpose of distilling the story and introducing it to new listeners. Enjoyify!

Plot summary:

In the near future, human society is in shambles due to climate change and needless wars. Narluga, a young native Alaskan man, goes in search of the fabled Time-Bridge, hidden in the woods, so that he may use it to travel back in time and undo these disasters. He finds the Time-Bridge & he also finds the legendary Sasquatches, who it turns out are actually from a different plane of existence.

The Sasquatches came to earth long ago, to start over after destroying their own civilization. The Sasquatches have accumulated much wisdom, which they are willing to share in order to help humanity. They ask Narluga to be their emissary to the rest of the human race. This gets Narluga in a little bit of trouble with the authorities who think he is unwell, until the Sasquatches come to his rescue and explain things.
