Space
I never been one to hide my feelings
Baby, you blow my mind
I painted your face upon my ceiling
I stare at it all the time
I imagine myself inside your bedroom
Oh I imagine myself in your sky
(You) you are the reason there's bass in my boom
(Oh you) you are the reason I'm high
If you and I were just ten feet closer
Then I'd make you understand
That everything I want to do to your body, baby
I would do to your head
Then you'd be hip to the deep rush
Deeper than the boom of the bass
With every other flick of the pink plush
The closer we get to the space (The closer we get to the space)
(The space)
(The space)
(The space)
Don't you want to go? (The space)
Where the souls go (The space)
Where the tears flow (The space)
Where the love grows
Do you want to go?
I never been one for this thing obsession
But just keep your eye on my hips
The circles they may be my confession
Just say the word and I'll strip
I've had dreams of us cuddling on the planet mars
Then when I wake up, I'm all covered in sex
With eyes that fall somewhere between rubies and stars
Don't look at me baby or I'll flex
If you and I were just ten feet closer
Then I'd make you understand
That everything I want to do to your body, baby
I would do to your head
Then you'd be hip to the deep rush
Deeper than the boom of the bass
With every other flick of the pink plush
The closer we get to the space
(The space)
Go (The space)
Flow (The space)
Grow
Do you want to go?
(The space)
Where the souls go (The space)
Where the tears flow (The space)
Where the love grows
Do you want to go?

The song "Michele's Message" by Masters at Work is a unique blend of spoken words and music. The first part of the song contains dialogue between two people regarding missile launch procedures, setting the stage for the euphoric and space-themed lyrics that follow. The lead vocals express the artist's overwhelming feelings toward a lover who seems to have a profound effect on their life. The singer imagines themselves in the lover's bedroom and even confesses to having dreams of them cuddling on the planet Mars. The lyrics suggest a significant obsession with the lover, yet they also convey a sense of overwhelming joy and passion.
The song's title "Michele's Message" is a reference to the female voice that opens the track. It's taken from the soundtrack of the 1971 movie "The Andromeda Strain." The song is known for its blend of spoken-word poetry over a dance beat, a combination that influenced the development of acid jazz in the UK. The song features a sample of "Promised Land" by Joe Smooth, a classic Chicago house track from 1987. The track was one of the first house tracks with lyrics about unity, spirituality, and world peace. The main synth riff was taken from Masters at Work's previous production, "Deep Inside" by Hardrive. The song has been remixed by several other artists, adding their own spin and perspective to the original track. The song's intro contains samples from various sources, including the movie "WarGames" and the video game "Asteroids." The voice that says "Switching command to internal" was done by a friend of the track's producer, who worked in a NASA facility.
Overall, "Michele's Message" is a unique and danceable track that blends spoken-word poetry and dance music to create an uplifting and euphoric feel. The lyrics express the artist's overwhelming love and passion for their lover, with references to space and dreams, adding a cosmic element to the track.

I never been one to hide my feelings
I am open about my emotions
Baby, you blow my mind
You amaze me
I painted your face upon my ceiling
I am literally obsessed with you
I stare at it all the time
I can't stop thinking about you
I imagine myself inside your bedroom
I fantasize about being intimate with you
Oh I imagine myself in your sky
I want to be a part of your world
(You) you are the reason there's bass in my boom
You give me the rhythm and excitement in my life
(Oh you) you are the reason I'm high
You are the reason for my happiness
If you and I were just ten feet closer
If we could be physically closer, I could show you how I feel
Then I'd make you understand
I would make it clear to you
That everything I want to do to your body, baby
I want to be intimate with you
I would do to your head
I also want to be emotionally close to you
Then you'd be hip to the deep rush
You would understand the intense feeling I have for you
Deeper than the boom of the bass
Deeper than just physical connection
With every other flick of the pink plush
With every touch or intimate action
The closer we get to the space
The closer we get emotionally
Don't you want to go? (The space)
Don't you want to connect with me emotionally?
Where the souls go (The space)
A place of deep emotional connection
Where the tears flow (The space)
A place of emotional vulnerability
Where the love grows
Where love is nurtured and strengthened
I never been one for this thing obsession
Normally I don't get this obsessed with someone
But just keep your eye on my hips
Pay attention to me and you'll see how I feel
The circles they may be my confession
My movements might reveal my emotions
Just say the word and I'll strip
I am willing to be vulnerable for you
I've had dreams of us cuddling on the planet mars
I fantasize about being close to you even in other worlds
Then when I wake up, I'm all covered in sex
I am consumed by my physical need for you
With eyes that fall somewhere between rubies and stars
My eyes show how passionate and deeply I feel for you
Don't look at me baby or I'll flex
If you look at me I will show you how much I want you
The space
The emotional connection between two people
Where the souls go (The space)
A place of spiritual bonding
Where the tears flow (The space)
A place where emotions are felt deeply
Where the love grows
Where love is nurtured and blossom
Bass

Stuart Schneiderman
This is a really excellent summary of Bill's solution oriented approach to hypnotherapy. Although I doubt that anyone person can completely systematise what Milton Erickson did I believe that Bill has come as close as possible to doing so with his solution oriented approach. Reading Erickson's case histories I used to be left with the question 'but how did Erickson know what to do ?' .Bill's 'class of problems-class of solutions' went a long way to answering this question.

Love your work Bill. Milton would be indeed be so proud of you. What a beautiful heartfelt song, thanks for sharing. And thank you for your contribution.

EXCELLENT and thank you for posting this! I found it to be very informative and Mr. O'Hanlon was an excellent presenter and gave great insights and metaphoric examples, which are KEY in the practice of regression, hypnosis and retraining conscious thought/behavior.
