The boys and I are free to learn what we want, when we want to. We definitely don't feel we are missing out living free the way we do. In many ways, I feel like being able to Unschool now is helping me catch up on all the "sleep" I lost being publicly educated. In our Sleepyhouse we're free to dream often, and we take that inspiration and apply it to learning by living.
Notes:
The Sleepyhouse is what the band named the house they lived in prior to recording Blind Melon in 1991. It was in Durham, North Carolina.
Shannon: It meant more for us to have a group that had unity and people to lean on if you were f***king up. We established it there in North Carolina, which is priceless. We caught up on all that sleep we lost in L.A.
Rogers: Staying up all night, then sleeping half the day away then getting up then you hear someone start playing then you move down to the living room then everybody congregates for a few hours on end. It gets to be really productive. There's nothing in Durham so we got a lot done.
Christopher: Living in that house for months was like being in a band for five years.
Lyrics:
No time frame, for what I need to do today
Here at the yellow house. I think I’m gonna play
With free livin’ lads down the street aways away
As I feel the moon rise
The time that all feels is the right time
Here in our sleepy house
As I wipe eye bugs away, the candle flickers at me to say
And in my head I sometimes pray
Hey aren’t ya feeling fine
As I was as a little child
And I’m feeling better when I’m high
With a red light shinning on a little unity
The mistakes that I’ve made
No they don’t seem to bother me
I sure as hell don’t feel like
I missed any kind of train
If I could only show you how I feel
Then you wouldn’t bother me
And then maybe you’d see why we
Don’t mind being blind
As I was as a little child
And I’m feeling better when I’m high
With a red light shinning on a little unity
I’ll probably be in a little while
