Brilliant work, Chris, lyrical, musical and graphic. And most of all, your sincerity and empathy for Jimi's vision make this a truly outstanding, meaningful tribute.

Wow…so brilliantly done.  Drums are spot-on!

Produced and mixed by Russell Sinfield @russell-sinfield- thank you Russell!
A few weeks ago I was thinking about if Jimi Hendrix were around looking at the political system and what he might have to say about it. He was a brilliant lyricist and found a cool way of telling storys about people and the inner mind of those people. I look at him living in a very divisive time and leading a very non-divisive existence. So with much respect do I put this track out, to Jimi and his fans, Jimi straight up taught me how to look at guitar, and think with songs.  So  much love to Jimi and to his family. I did the painting of Jimi last week as I messed around with  guitar work. I hope y'all can dig on it. 
Cheers

Look at all these jokers
Just trying to play that  game
They got Stuntmen , props and posters 
The politics of hate
Forget the children
Of the war on povery
They got can drives, 
Christmas cards and hustlers
The propaganda of today
each and every day

	Before you say it ain’t on me
	when you turn away
	we walk away 
	on chaging  

	What do you think 
	that hates gonna bring you
	when everybody knows 
 	it takes love 
	to make us safe
	Dont get your self all 
	caught up 
	and confused 
	the more things change 
	the more 
	they stay 
	the same

Look at all these children
just trying to make their way
they got airstrikes, morterfire
and carbombs 
the politics of hate
Forget Alepo
They say its gone
They say its gone
 today
They got  hospitals,
humans and bandaids
getting darker everyday
each and everyday 

	Before you say it ain’t on me
	when you turn away
	we walk away 
	on chaging  

	What do you think 
	that hates gonna bring you
	when everybody knows 
 	it takes love 
	to make us safe
	Dont get your self all 
	caught up 
	and confused 
	the more things change 
	the more 
	they stay 
	the same

Look at all these people
just trying to have their say
They got voter fraud, supression, 
and harassment
The politics of change
Forget tomorrow
We got to deal with this today
We got shooters, hackers
and con-men
Taking our voices away
each and everyday 
	
	Before you say it ain’t on me
	when you turn away
	we walk away 
	on chaging  

	What do you think

 	it takes love 
	to make us safe
	Dont get your self all 
	caught up 
	and confused 
	the more things change 
	the more 
	they stay 
	the same

I am lucky to have music in my life, as well as art. I hear music in my head and give it voice. Its just that simple. So as you go through my cloud, you will hear music from many genres, because I feel many things. We are all the same. We are all working this all out in different ways, from different places. That connection to each other can be felt, like the wind, but it is unseen, so if a song reaches out to you, reach out to me. I am just a person trying to work it all out.
All my music is free, unless you find it on iTunes, but some albums are only there so if you dont have any money let me know what record you want and ill send it to you. 
So I paint, and I do the art for all the bands I write for, and a whole lot of other bands, so I am blessed because art is divine. Anyway, if you want to book one of my bands, or whatever, want to sing one of my songs (they are all open to that) just reach out to me on Facebook or instagram. Send me a mail if you need me to support your track here on soundcloud, or if you need art for your music. Bless you.
