Hello, Old Friend ( #LifeOfAHologram Album LEAK)

For ALL OF TRIBE..here and BEYOND…THANK-FULL for YOU :)
*Written, performed, & produced by: Ami Kim

Lyrics:
holding you now
I feel the rising of the storm is
heavy and good
I know that you’ll be all the warmth here 
storm front is right
my flower’s dripping with the rain and
so good to know
you’re there in my sky
no complaining   

whenever you come my way
I’m thankful for you



we’re deep in the ocean
swimming farther than horizon
waves become  wings 
it’s easy there is no trying
birds in the water
flying outside of the matrix
it is so good
to share journey and spaces 
with u

whenever you come my way
I’m thankful for you

whenever you leave leave
I’m still thankful for you

whenever you come my way
I’m thankful for you

whenever you leave leave
I’m still thankful for you

heavy and good (holding you)


whenever you come my way
I’m thankful for you

whenever you leave leave
I’m still thankful for you

THANK-FULL (H7VY & G00D)

“Call Me Revolution” is a  19-minute 'sonic documentary’ that creates a contemporary sound quilt of song and  recent speeches in  America’s history in dedication to #BlackLivesMatter. With carefully selected audio recordings from J.Cole to President Obama, Angela Davis to Alicia Keys (with some being live show recordings including one featured speech from Erykah Badu) this avant garde piece of work is a new take on artivism, documentarianism, and audio storytelling.

Featuring the Dizzy Gillespie of Hip Hop himself, Owuor Arunga (who is currently on tour with Macklemore) and award-winning North Carolina bass player & guitarist Brosnan Granger, the track hints at  infusions reminiscent of a Fela Kuti jam with  Lauryn Hill, Marvin Gaye, Erykah Badu and Louis Armstrong.  Call Me Revolution written, performed, and produced by NC-born songwriter, vocalist and artivist ami kim will transport any listener, no matter what social identity, into an introspective world of struggle, pain, hope and culminating triumph for anyone resonating with the desire for freedom and equality.

Lyrics:

oh God
you are God
and I’m ready to worship
every light

sunrise
is in your eyes
you’re a kemet constellation
of rebirth conversations

your flavor is hibiscus smooth
your flow is Nile river proof

you birth a new earth
everytime you work 
and you create a new age
when you step up in the place 




and I'm faded off the wave
you frequency is cray
I'm faded off the wave
faded,
faded off your wave
you frequency is cray
I'm faded off the wave


all I wanna do 
is meditate 
and build a beautiful a spaceship 
with you 
all I wanna do 
is ascend into dimensionless
is that be cool?

faded off the wave
faded, faded off the wave
you frequency is cray
faded off the wave
your frequency is crazy…

Inspired after hearing this original track by @dameer-khan and wrote and recorded the song the day I heard the beat.  The song is a big run-on sentence of love thoughts and prophetic vibrations for the turning point of our Awakening on this planet. Visualizing it speaks to all Hearts that See :) 

Lyrics:
Run on,  too many commas
prophecies like Nostradamus
who says that they want more comfort
upholstery store closed till sunday
sol sol sol sol, we live in Sōl
the esoteric, the baby carriage, a spirit marriage, would you dare
to call me your lady
would you dare call me your favorite
(Call me your favorite )

Nefertiti laughing in my dreams
Oshun in the river singing streams
NWT sunset smoothies truly
no can prove to me that life isn't what you think
so be careful where you sink your mind in
always be kind and
and face the lies
you tell yoself
cause your own intuition
is the best book of
of self-help, take it off the shelf


someone once told me you are the light
you seek
that someone is everyone
 reflection is  deep  


and no chorus
just to writing horus
love letters
From the third eye scribe
positive vibes to all the Kings and Queens
to all the loves that dream
and to the hearts that see
to the heart that see

run on,  too many commas
prophecies like Nostradamus

To all the hearts that see

Arrival (Dameer Khan x Ami Kim)

#DRAFTS - I write. A LOT.  So this year I'm going to ra-lease  more of my drafts and unfinished pieces...I have 100s and instead of them getting dusty on my computer I'm now going to share some :) Forgive the quality as the intention is more about the raw versions of what comes thru~  Visioning this inspires good vibes, love, and the sweetness of purest intimacy :) And I've been spending a lot o' time with water and it was raining the day I wrote this so I added the sound to the track. Injoy :) And S/O to Shelley Bruce & Bri Beats for the feedback and encouragement to share :)

LYRICS:

Verse 1:
Ooh this feels so right
I want your stare inside of mine
I know that it's already fine
to hold your hand inside of mine
as we tip toe on a sweet infinity
this love our purest destiny
unfold the best that's meant to be
Chorus:
Ooh you make me hollowed out
empty with no moment but the present now
concave you're the vector
of the highest ground
the Highest Ground

Verse 2:
ooh this conditionlesss happiness where we begin
no walls your love already in
eternal seas we save our vows
letting the beyond be poetry 
to unify
 
no cover ups no cloaks or ties
unraveling we purify

Chorus:
Ooh you make me hollowed out
empty with no moment but the present now
concave you're the vector
of the highest ground
the Highest Ground
