2014.08.10 Nahko & Medicine For The People Live At ARISE Eagle Main Stage 06

"Medicine” is a song-anthem honoring the traditions of folk medicine; plant-based medicine as a tool for empowerment and healing. It is a call to action to support the voices of the herbalists, healers, and teachers… the roots, plants, trees, and stones… the arts, the spirits, and the wild ones. It is an honoring of all the many ways that we can be well, and the radical and traditional ways in which we can steward health within ourselves. 

This song is a direct tribute to the people around the world who are holding and teaching these ways of herbal plant-based medicine, educating us all to know our gardens, our forests, our plants and our own bodies... to bring wellness back into our own hands and communities. It is not a dismissal of modern medicine, but a gratitude and honoring of its ancestry and foundations within folkloric traditions. 

This release comes on the New Moon after the Fall Equinox. As we are moving into a new season, a new time, and a new chapter, we offer this song as a ritual anthem for this transition and time of great change.

"Medicine" Lyrics:

Wise men say that rushing is violence
and so is your silence
when its rooted in compliance
To stand firm in loving defiance,
make art your alliance
give voice to the fire

Move people to the beat of the wind
Gather yourself and begin
to dance the song until it ends
We are winners, champions of the light
forming in numbers and might
keep the truth close in sight...

Chorus:
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands

Find your teachers in the voice of the forests
unplug you cant ignore this
wisdom of the voiceless
Remedies are bountiful and surround us
from the garden to the farthest 
prayers made of star dust

Find your healing in the music that calls you
the voice that enthralls you
what do you belong to 
Eyes out theres the setting of the sun
give thanks to each and everyone
the lesson is the...

Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace I know your face, and I trust your hand
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hand  
 
Poem:

I believe in bending backwards and extending
in my tracks 
trip back
until the lesson is in action and
your yard is feeding
stop stark the disbelieving
cause the garden holds the shards 
the medicine is in the seeds when

We hold tight to our right to protect and
we know our might is 10-fold in connection
our elders hold them bright lights 
we protect them
the medicine is evident 
the wolf, the hawk, the bear clan

We hold tight to our right to protect and
we know our might is 10-fold in connection
our elders hold them bright lights 
we protect them
the medicine is evident 
the wolf, the hawk, the bear clan...

Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands

Elephant Revival - Go On

'On Me' by Bryan Divisions

And I can never give up cause I know that it's all on me, on me
No one else to blame yah I know that its all on me, on me
Even when the worlds twisted up yeah I know that it's all on me, on me
And if I want life to change yah  know that it's all on me, on me

Learned a long time ago,
The world is emanating from my soul, so I gotta keep control, of the thoughts that I think, behaviors that I bring into actions that I sow,
Karmas what I know choose yes or no, the universal law that governs whether the door of life is opened or closed,
Reliving our woes,
Repeating in a loop or unlocking us to truly let go, so be bold,
And make the decisions, to create a life that don't need no revisions,
Don't fold, it's all up to us how we want it, why waste time with wondering, take action and watch it unfold,
This ain't just prose, this ain't just theory, this is creation for those who can hear me,
this is destruction for those who may fear these concepts I am spitting, cause we're the ones steering,
The ships of our lives, our souls are the captains, and from the inside, we make our lives happen,
Speak truth and not lies, influenced by actions, from internal light and find soul satisfaction
So create from wonder cause it's all imagined,
do not be put under, by spells from the factions,
Who try to suppress us with all these distractions,
And keep us stuck in a life fueled by reactions, yeah

And I can never give up cause I know that it's all on me, on me
No one else to blame yah I know that its all on me, on me
Even when the worlds twisted up yeah I know that it's all on me, on me
And if I want my life to change yah I know that it's on me, on me

Its all on me, on me

I've been grounded in my true essence,
Know just where I'm headed no question,
Tired of the shadow of depression,
I'm changing for the better this second, yeah

Taking responsibility back, yah I see my path, stronger more than ever yeah fragility is in my past, no more masks, hidden beneath the surface like artifacts, seeking out my purpose know stability will always last,
Some may gasp, at the task, infinite no turning back,
actualize the you inside, never hide, no need for lack,
here to rise, don't collide
unlike the waves you will not crash, through your eyes, you'll see life, materialize and attract

And I can never give up cause I know that it's all on me, on me
No one else to blame yah I know that it's all on me, on me
Even when the worlds twisted up yeah i know that it's all on me, on me
And if I want life to change I know that it's all on me, on me

On Me

Song: Put Down What You Are Carrying by Trevor Hall feat. Brett Dennen
Listen here: https://fanlink.to/PutDownWhatYouAreCarrying

Lyrics:
Don't you go to war with yourself
I heard it come through the rain
Don't you go to war with yourself
How you gonna hold all that pain
Let go, let go, let go
Put all of it out of your mind
I know, you know, we know
It's time to 

(Chorus X2)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now

(Brett Dennen)
Don't you go to war with yourself
It don't look good on you
Don't you go to war with yourself
You got other things to do now
Let go, let go, let go
Of everything holding you down
I know, you know, we know
The time is now

(Chorus X2)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now

You better lay down your arms
You better lay down your arms
You better lay down your fears
You better lay down your fears
Don't you do yourself that harm
Don't you cry yourself those tears
No fear, yeah

(Chorus X7)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now

Trevor Hall - Put Down What You Are Carrying (feat. Brett Dennen)

When Ralph Smart asks for a song about 5G, you gotta make it happen!

Written and recorded in 2 hours as a remix to my upcoming song "Manifest" for Ralph Smart's song idea about 5G. Ralph announced in his video on 4/2/20 that the first artist to send him a 5G track would have their song played on his channel, so I had to do it! BIG shoutout to my bro and fellow artist Vvitchboy for sharing the original Infinite Waters video with me and helping to plant the seeds of what this came to be. 

So much gratitude for Infinite Waters aka Ralph Smart for sharing this track at the beginning of his YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Y4CE4yQnw&t=215s

Lyrics
We ain't need no 5G, cause we in 5D,
we ain't need no 5G, we in 5D,
we ain't need no 5G, cause that's unlikely,
cause we in 5D the fifth dimensional reality yea

I don't need no 5G, because I live in 5D,
I don't need new towers I just need more of them pine trees,
So when I can kick it you know just where you can find me,
And if you ask, then you know just what the time be,
Its now, I'm in the present, in the clouds but both feet on the ground,
To mother Gaia connecting to the source all around,
These waters are so infinite, frequencies all surround
Enter and exit my cells through the miracle of sound,
But I prefer, the natural vibes over those from a cell tower,
Yah why so quick, to roll it out, with no tests on it's true power,
Maybe you should take your time,  and give it more than an hour,
And think about the effects you can cause so do not hide or cower,

But we know why, its the need to constantly progress,
money, power, and success,
Fear there won't be crumbs left,
If you're not the one who doesn't win the war or conquest,
and prove to the world that you simply think that you are the best,

But the real step, is to get to 5d,
An Emotionally open, true, and loving light being
Not holding grudges or creating blame for fighting,
But shining all your truth and light that it's blinding

Light to the darkness, lets take this time and mark this,
Down as the first step of reaping our harvest,
Yeah aint it marvelous, we're all life artists,
just as smart as Ralph, we're creators who all thought this,

So let's unite, without a fear,
And bring the light, to those we're near,
No 5G tower, can devour,
Our connection to this planet that is always ours

We ain't need no 5G, cause we in 5D,
we ain't need no 5G, we in 5D,
we ain't need no 5G, cause that's unlikely,
cause we in 5D the fifth dimensional reality yea
