A bit on the book project known as SoulPancake: this book "chews on life's big questions," urging you to explore philosophy, creativity, spirituality, love, truth, science, and a lot more. Amazon.com says: "With bold questions, intriguing challenges, and mind-bending art, Soul Pancake creates a space for you to stimulate your brain stem, spark your soul, and figure out what it means to be human."
Rainn has included the lyrics for "Wild Goose" in the actual book. And we've set it up so you can get an MP3 of Josh's recording with your purchase of the book, here.
Enjoy...
