It would be easier
If we found joy in the usual ways 
I had a dream that we had too much
We had nothing but golden days

I can spend days looking at myself 
Am I any different
Do you find that I’m not 
If we never make it 
Will it count that we tried 
Will the universe take note
  
At best life is long
But not without end
We have no time to pretend, we have no time 
At best life is long
But not without end
We have no time to pretend, we have no time

We’ve come so far 
Beyond where we feared we’d stop
If you ever forget I’ll remind you 
If you’re ever weary I’ll pull you thru

It would be easier
If we found joy in the usual ways 
I had a dream that we kept in touch
what we achieved we were amazed
How long must we wait
How low must we sink
Before we earn our place

The road is long 
And we got rules to bend
There is no time to pretend

We’ve come so far 
Beyond where we feared we’d stop
If you ever forget I’ll remind you 
If you’re ever weary
I’ll pull you thru

Introducing Flow-Fi TapeTracks. As of today we'll be releasing a two-side EP every fortnight celebrating artists who we believe need your attention. This means you'll be getting a single on both Saturday and Sunday, and you'll be able to download the EP for free on Sunday. We've got some exciting talent lined up for the series, but let's introduce our first artist to feature on TapeTracks. 

Alexander Lewis is a musician/producer based in New York in the U.S. His music is a fusion of different styles including a strong jazz influence (his musical background)and future hip hop and bass music. We've been keeping a close eye on his progress over the last few months and now we're excited to bring you 'Seasons'. The first TapeTrack in our fortnightly series. 

"I was hanging out with two of my best friends (one was the trumpet player on this track) and we were talking about how fortunate we were that music is such a central part of our lives and we get to hang and make music together. Music surrounds us in different ways, and it's a blessing to be able to do what we love to do on a daily basis. Life is Sweet- is just that. It's about celebrating friends and living life." - Alexander Lewis

Produced by: @alexanderjlewis
Trumpets: Ivan Jackson ( @iamivanjackson ) of @brasstracks

Female Energy - Freestyle : Prod. AzZi | Willow

Premiere via EARMILK - http://t.co/Gz2daBEjPS

Reminiscent nostalgia springs to mind when we listen to ‘Distant Memories’, a seamless expression of old-school jazz roots & new age production.
Almost a dozen layers of trumpet are layered upon each other, accompanied by a minimal drum beat & flowing chord changes to create a short yet succinct piece that requires repeat listening on the regular. 
The track is a collaborative piece between BrassTracks, a Brooklyn based trumpeter /producer / drummer duo & Alexander Lewis, Multi instrumentalist / producer recently graduated from Manhattan School of Music Jazz Program. 
We’re delighted to give this one away for free as an early xmas present ! Heres hoping this isn’t the last link up between these guys.
