Verse 1:
With open eyes and an open mind, an open intention to live with peace inside
We’re bound to find the truth in time
Gonna spread these wings above the ground I fly
And I won’t look back, never wonder why, went to the left, went to the right
Had to loose myself to find the light and the music kept the movement alive
So breathe in and breathe out, let it take you to a higher ground
Soothe your soul with feet to dance just give it a chance, find true romance
Let the gift of music breathe you in, take you in

Chorus:
Music is the melody, I find love in the strangest forms
With the peace inside our family, ain’t no harm, negativity is gone, we’re moving on
Moving on from hatred, greed & lies, movin’ back home
Fell in love with the music and the rest just ain’t important no more

Verse 2:
With open eyes and an open mind
Best you be countin’ your blessings na don’t be wastin’ time
Truth inside for all of us to find
Negativity grows where the beast resides, positivity flows where the love divides
And the children cry til they free there mind, none but ourselves can free our minds
Mr. Bob Marley he always said it right my friend
Find your voice through the noise and live free with a choice
Don’t let nobody tell ya it can’t be done, humble yourself you already won
Let the gift of music, bring you in it has begun
Chorus

The Gift Of Music

Sun Comes Up

Alex Mackenzie-Low aka "A-Mac" is my guest this week. He is a true entrepreneur in the Denver music scene and beyond. He fronts his alternative/reggae/hip-hop/rock outfit, A-Mac & The Height and books/runs Spread The Word Music Festival, which happens every spring in Denver. 

In this episode, we talk about everything that goes in to running a music festival including liquor licenses, contracts and finding venues and sponsors. We also get an insight into touring as a DIY artist. Near the end of the episode, we chat about the difficulties of feeling like the music business side sometimes seems to distract us from actually making music.
