Verse 1: Theres some complications as we are scratching at the monkeys skin 
So lets drop this virus and watch them scatter around like pigs
They go and lay the rope down we pick it up and tie the noose
divide and conquer separate the lies from truth

Chorus: Thier praying on our weakness 
watch us fall and profit on us
Bring the storms and hurricanes forrest fires and earthquakes and 
watch us fade dive and conquer
watch us fade divide and conquer

Verse 2: This debates a circus as they parade around the noble house 
and we drink the potion just to take it in and spew it out
The doctors beds are full again the preacher lays his bible down 
dinners on the TV ring the bell and herd the cows

Chorus: Cause we are quick to say whats on our mind 
but scared to take it any higher
Fall in line or step aside its clearly social suicide
Now watch us fade divide and conquer

Chorus: Thier praying on our weakness watch us fall and profit on us
Bring the storms and hurricanes forrest fires and earthquakes and watch us fade 
Cause we are quick to say whats on our mind but scared to take it any higher Fall in line or step aside its clearly social suicide
Now watch us fade divide and conquer

Divide and Conquer

Divide And Conquer

This is a track by Dan X2 that was made in May of 2016.  It has gotten lost over the years.  Dan Blackard recently mentioned that it is missing in our song lists.  So here it is.  Brought back from the Dead.  I don't know what genre this should be called.  What do you think is the genre?

Here are the Lyrics:
yrics;

There's this island
In the sky
No one can see it
with ordinary eyes

A comfortable breeze
Is rocking the trees
The weather so fair
And It floats in the air

My Family and friends
Where they all stay
And I'm always welcome
when I come by there way

The hills fill with flowers
cool running streams
Beach sand for the hours
Of living the dream

There's an island in the sky
Just right for me
When clouds pass by

But The bottles gone dry
And so very tired am I
A doorway for me
To sleep by and by

soon I'm alone
And I take all I own
To my island in the sky

There Is An Island In The Sky

THEME: 
As humans, we take ourselves far too seriously. Our world has always been divided by those who feel that their own voice is the only true voice. Monsters brutally rule others through ideologies, politics and money. 

Humans delude themselves of their own self-importance. Yet, “on the scale of worlds or galaxies - humans are inconsequential, a thin film of life on an obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal.” (Carl Sagan) 

Perhaps by understanding our universal insignificance, we can find the courage to more kindly behave towards one another, and to preserve and cherish our “pale blue dot” in the universe, the only home we’ve ever known. 

About VLADIMIR VELICHKOV (Bulgaria) 
Vladimir is a virtuoso musician performing on the kaval musical instrument, as well as a composer and professor at the Bulgarian Music Academy in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, where he teaches “Kaval, Chamber Ensembles, Orchestra and Theoretical Disciplines”. He has a doctorate degree in “The Art of Kaval - Tradition and Modernity”. 

The kaval is a woodwind instrument, characteristic of Bulgarian folklore music. Extracting sound and tone from the kaval is extremely difficult. Vladimir achieves an extremely varied sound by using new techniques such as playing two or three notes simultaneously while singing into the instrument; using the “voiced air column” effect where the whistling of air passes through the instrument at a certain pitch and a melody is played - the so-called “whistling wind” effect; overflow of several registers in one or two octaves; and playing percussion effects. https://youtube.com/@VladimirVelichkov0205?si=i6ZhJEmvSR4Z5HIF 

About JAMES HILL (USA) 
Born into a musical family in Burbank, California, James began playing the trumpet at the age of nine and never stopped! “James creates a beautiful and compelling array of musical landscapes - fusing genres, styles, instruments, and rhythms into intensely evocative compositions. His music is punctuated by stellar and often haunting trumpet interludes or overlays. There are certain beautiful and pointed experiences in life on earth that should not be missed, and must be savoured…. The music of James Hill is one of these experiences.” (R. Sebastian Bennett) https://youtube.com/@tcabstudio?si=o_z3iUDQi4K3FMty

Lyrics:

Breathe and reshape, be not afraid
Underneath the pines, breathe and reshape
Oceans wide, a sign!

Like the seasons blazing we paint the sky
Our spirits unify

Underneath the pines, breathe and reshape
Oceans wide, a sign!

Like the seasons blazing we paint the sky
Our spirits unify, a symphony of greens
Chase your wildest dreams
We paint the sky
We unify

Unify

Like the seasons blazing we paint the sky
Our spirits unify a symphony of greens
Chase your wildest dreams
We paint the sky
We unify

Unify

We Unify!

Lyrics:

You found your strength
Perhaps the source that carries you along

I’m not crippled by your spell
I’m not influenced by your will

You found your tribe to reinforce
You’re exactly where you’re supposed

Acoustic version of "Swim" https://soundcloud.com/crash_landed/swim

Lyrics

We would dive in deep
A lot of dreams, dive in deep
Like lovers sleep
In lavender

Ooh, I know where you rest
Ooh, there's no way back

Burn for burn, justice served
Wound for wound, you haven't seen the last of me yet
Bruise for bruise, nobody has

Burn for burn, justice served
Wound for wound, you haven't seen the last of me yet
Bruise for bruise, nobody has

How did I win
I never saved, anything
For the way back, and you did

Ooh, I know where you rest
Ooh, there's no way back

Burn for burn, justice served
Wound for wound, you haven't seen the last of me yet
Bruise for bruise, no-body has

Burn for burn, justice served
Wound for wound, you haven't seen the last of me yet
Bruise for bruise, no-body has

Swim [Acoustic]

Think about me differently

Yeah I know I been a hurricane
Tearing at your fabric – you had to hold on tight
But now there’s better weather
Gonna make my momma proud
And God knows that I love you
Gonna anchor me to the ground
Yeah think about me differently
Wellin’ up in generosity
Mmmm mm think about me differently
Cause I love you girl and I love my family

Wanna work with my job so hard
Build us a foundation – mmm roots that are oh so strong
You will see your momma smile 
That boy he goes the extra mile
And love’s gonna be a happy place
Sun gonna set on a sparkling face
Yeah think about me differently
Wellin’ up in generosity
Mmmm mm yeah think about me differently
Cause I love you girl and I love my family
