Viktoras Kulvinskas prophesied that the raw-food message would reach the masses through music. The Healing Waters Band has arrived to fulfill that prophecy.
All Is One delivers a powerful message about our state of being, our planet earth and the awakening of consciousness. All Is One presents different styles of music. There is soft rock, pop, heavier rock, rap and some stuff that hasn’t been categorized yet. These songs were written between 2001 and 2004. There was a higher degree of collaboration with this album than with the first compact disc: This Cooked Planet with more band members contributing with both music and lyrics.
Listeners should be prepared to enjoy a unique infusion of raw sound and verse.

Tracks:
1. ALL IS ONE (PART 1)
We’re all one divine pure love is the theme of All Is One. Tap into your higher powers.
This song was written during a jam at Nature’s First Law‘s World Headquarters. It started with drums, then the bass playing the chorus. Guitar and keys followed. Bill came up with the chord changes for the verse. At midnight, David “Avocado Cacao” Wolfe served Tony a cacao beverage and Tony let the lyrics flow through him all the way to this CD.
All Is One.
2. IT’S ALL GOOD
It’s All Good invites you to embrace all that is. It’s all good no matter what. David “Avocado” Wolfe wrote the bulk of the lyrics for this song. Avocado was inspired to write the song one day on the bus while listening to John Lennon’s “Whatever Gets You Through The Night.” Tony took Avocado’s lyrics and made some alterations in order for them to fit melodies he already had. Dave Steinberg came up with the melody for the musical part of the song and provided most of the bass line.
3. TONY’S STORY
This is a hilarious insight into the childhood of bass player Tony Thorpe. It was one filled with sickness and disease. Tony believes that denatured, toxic food played a part in that and delivers a warning to all who follow such a regimen.
4. SKYDANCER’S HOUSE
Skydancer is a great friend of ours who lives in a very old house called St. Michael’s cottage on the Tor in Glastonbury, England. In Skydancer’s house during the summer of 2002 on a rusty old acoustic guitar, Tony found the melody for the verse and chorus of the song. The lyrics came later that year in Jamul, California on the same night he wrote Tribute and Goodbye Burgerworld from the first album. Dave Steinberg composed the beautiful intro and the bridge. The theme of the song is raw food, higher consciousness and planetary healing.
5. YOU ARE REAL
Tony used to work as a card dealer in a casino on a Native American Reservation. One of the tribal leaders there who had healed herself of cancer and attributed it to eating a high raw-food diet was saddened by people’s diets and health on the reservation. After talking to her and being inspired by her story Tony wrote this song in hope that all native peoples can regain their health.
6. WILL YOU MARRY ME?
Tony went to England and stayed with a great friend and his fiancée. Tony was amazed to see so many parallels between their relationship and the one he had with a raw-food girl that ended in heartbreak. He used his experience and turned it around to help them keep going. They decided to keep their wedding plans and now they have a baby girl. He wrote this song on the flight back to the U.S. It’s really about what went through Tony’s mind and the mind of his friend at the time of being engaged. Both the song and the story that inspired it have happy endings.
7. DEAR MR. PRESIDENT
This song encourages Dear Mr. President to get on TV and talk about how to have the best day ever. Tony dreamed the melody and lyrics to the chorus of this song and then got up and went to a David Icke seminar and took some of his phrases and put them in the song. The lines in the second verse about love were inspired from that seminar.
8. CONSTIPATION NATION
This song was written on a hike back in 2001. It’s one of the first songs the band ever played. It’s a little primitive but hits home with a serious message about the state of our nation and how it’s reflected in our lack of bowel movements. The band usually saves this song till the end of their gigs due to the peristalsis caused by the outro of the song. People end up having to poop. We have video evidence. This song has also been called: The Sonic Colonic.
9. NATURE’S FIRST LAW
Tony wrote this song on a 15-minute break from dealing blackjack at the casino back in 2001. It’s the first original song the band ever played. “My Boss” in the song was our good friend Scott “Be Raw Or Die” Brodie who was the warehouse manager at Nature’s First Law. Philosophies have changed since this song was written. It’s a lovely song nevertheless. By changing ourselves first automatically change the world.
10. ALIENATION
Tony wrote this song on a flight from Maui to San Diego back in 2002 after reading Children Of The Matrix by David Icke. It offers a possible explanation for the fall of man and how we went from the Garden Of Eden to the War On Terror. Tony is the guru in the solo with the creation story. Bill came up with the sinister keyboard intro. This song is a cross between Black Sabbath’s Mr. Crowley and Hendrix out of control. The guitar on this song is absolutely amazing. Turn up the volume.
11. BROKE IN WATERLAND
During the band’s British and European Tour in 2003 they stayed with Diana in a town near Amsterdam called Broek In Waterland. At an all-night party, Dave Steinberg introduced this song to the group. It was a magical night. All members of the band helped to create the final structure of the song, but this is essentially a musical delight from the creative genius of Dave Steinberg, the Cosmic Pepper Powerman. Jackie wrote the first verse and chorus, Dave S. wrote the last verse and chorus, and when Double D burst onto the scene with his free-flowing master lyricism the raw icing was put on the raw chocolate cake. Close your eyes and let the journey begin…
12. ALL IS ONE (PART 2)
Using All Is One, the band slowed the tempo, altered the vocal melody, expanded acoustically and blossomed instrumentally while offering a slightly different lyrical theme. Bill Greene shines at the forefront of an avalanche of sound. Sit back and relax. Connect to the source.
