This EP is lovingly dedicated to Alphio, remembered by all of the SoundCloud community as Alpha Roots. 

Alpha Roots brought the irie vibrations and had us all skanking on the regular. His positive lyrics and vocals raised the collective consciousness and his genre spanning tunes, inspired many to collaborate, and kept our creative fires burning. Alpha Roots was a loving soul that will always be remembered by our tight community. We keep the spirit of Alpha Roots alive each time we listen to his music.

For an unknown reason, I always felt a strong urge to make another version of Hosanna and once Alpha Roots passed away, the impetus became undeniable. I was called to ask Soundwanderer, a regular collaborator with Alpha Roots, to lay a new musical foundation over the Binghi Biscuits rhythm. After Soundwanderer dropped the mad flavor with a truly heartfelt and touching musical performance, I asked Janine Levinson to compliment my newly recorded vocals to really make this dedication to Alphio super special. Russ, who also collaborated with Alphio, was the obvious choice to mix and master the track and really bring Alpha Roots' sprit back to life. I did my best to regularly ask Alphio what he wanted with this remake of Hosanna and I feel the song turned out as he would have liked it. 

Huge thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for blessing this song with his beautiful artwork. Wou-Wou listened to the song and was inspired to draw this picture of Jah Lion being hugged by a young spirit; which reminded Russ of this picture of Alpha Roots:

Lyrics 

On a day sweetened by a breeze that enlightens us with prana 
I wanna climb this earth to find a place where we will sing hosanna 
hosanna, hosanna 
I wanna climb this earth to sing hosanna 

And in sweet meditation we will meet to dance in ultimate freedom 
Floating in the universal ghee outside of Vishnu’s dream in Eden 
In Zion, in Eden 
We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom 
In Eden, in Zion 
We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom 

And we will meet again my friend 
In Zion, in Eden 
And we will meet to dance again 
In freedom, in freedom 
In Zion, in Eden 
We will meet again my friend

Un Nuevo Día (Ttaattoo & Delirata)

Ain’t no way I’m wrong 
You said it was a long way
You said that it was just for play….
But now she’s looking pretty for approval in her eye
Loving face of time that carried us off of the rug
Better than Better than better than better than nothing by the pound.
We begin we begin we being we begin with every step over ground. 
Ain’t no way I’m wrong
Everybody has tried to runaway
To wish they decided to stay
Making faces in the mirror on an overnight
They were so young in the everlasting sunlight
It was then it was then it was then that first caught their sight
It was them it was them it was them made them hold on so tight
And now I’m breathing in and out to calm down
In and out to calm down. 
Calm down
Calm down
Ain’t no way I’m wrong 
You said it was a long way
You said that it was just for play….
But now she’s looking pretty for approval in her eye
Loving face of time that carried us off of the rug
Better than Better than better than Better than nothing by the pound.
We begin we begin we being we begin the with every step above ground.

I am always trying to be more neutral and nonjudgemental in my experiences of myself and others. 

Just so you all know, I am healthy, happy, and doing well. Life is good for me. I am very blessed. 

Sending nonjudgemental listening and witnessing out into the world. 

Big thanks to DeeP for passionately inviting me to join in on another project and choosing the perfect beat for me to channel the shadow muses. Huge thanks to Russ for laying down the cool experimental guitar work and taking a break from mixing and mastering duties.

Lyrics:

She was found alone dead in her bed
27 years and already dead
He went and took one straight to the head
And it took 3 days before any knew he was dead
She was introverted 
Lived reclusive
Took the path of seclusion to her conclusion
After leaving prison  
An impoverished condition was the state he lived in
Without any of his friends and fans in the ending

In the ending
In the ending
In the ending 

Without anyone around in the ending 
Without anyone to love in the ending
Without anyone who cares in the ending
Without anyone with prayers in the ending

I’m thinkin’ a popping the pills again, again
I’m fixin’ ta shoot up my veins again, again
I’m drinkin’ away my will again, again
I’m sinkin’ into a hole again, 
Wastin’ my life on a dream that always pending
Hating everything that I waste all my time making 
Who am I kidding I’m nothing I’m just pretending 
Everyday digging my self a little bit closer to the ending
 
There were moments when the pain went away
When the weight of life didn’t seem to weigh
Fleeting moment suggesting to stay  
While the rest of life was pushing towards dismay  
Feeling hopeless
With misguided purpose
Constant pursuing with nothing ever accruing 
Is just worthless 
What’s the meaning of being around others when
Others are really only attending to mending their own feelings in the ending    

I don’t care, I don’t really care, I don’t give a fuck, I don’t give a damn, 
I don’t give a shit

Uuuh let it rain 
let it rain 
let it rain 
on my skin love 
come like the wind

mmm your lips taste like wine 
oh oh so mighty fine 
don’t deny love 
oh baby don’t make me cry love

Lyrics 
I told your parents I didn’t care
About those brand new piercings in your ear
It was a moment in time that I never seem to forget
When I knew what it meant to be a man who knew how to get it
And the blame and the shame while living off of low rent
And your Dad and your Mom couldn’t believe it happened.  

And we blazed and we wished that we were on our own
And got caught late night sneaking out of your home

 Once we got to where we loved/ I tried to find a steady job
And we dreamed of a house far away from those stifling phony plants. 

  It was a moment in time that I never seem to forget
When I knew what it meant to be a man who knew how to get it
And the blame and the shame while living off of low rent
And your Dad and your Mom couldn’t believe it happened.  

And we blazed and we wished that we were on our own
And got caught late night sneaking out of your home
And you grew cold and said that you wanted to go
Claimed I was the one who held you back on my own
I couldn’t believe the smack you talked and slammed the door

Now I’m riding out
Roads don’t ever fail
Hope you get what you want
Better not settle for fair.

Lyrics:
I checked out of St Joseph Hospital
I checked myself out of St Joseph Hospital
Against medical advice
But now I'm here, indulging in my favorite vice
3 shots for $5, and a beer for a buck
Dust on the carpet, the mold, and the beer-soaked floor
I've got a wife, I've got a life, I've got a brand new baby boy
I should be home with my bundle of joy
But I'm here. But I'm here
I'm here with AM Drinkers
AM Drinkers

Someone keeps putting the goddamn Eagles on the Hi-fi
Living my life in an early morning slow-motion ride
All the things I let slide by
Why am I?
I'm indulging in my vice
That's why I am here
3 shots for $5 and a buck for a beer

AM drinkers 
AM drinkers (We always come here)

Darren Sullivan: Lyrics, Guitar

You don’t mind /staying up all night
Dancing with the
Embarrassing clown

You don’t count
On me too much
You Don’t hope to find a 
Hunky devil son

when the pop song
Has frayed every nerve
All my money and all my sweat
Won’t ever turn it off

I know I’m a pain
But I’ll never let you go
And all my money and all my sweat
I will never let go. 

Away away away  away
Those songs vanish in the air\and all my money and all my strength  
Mine will never let you go

Piper picked /a poppy song
And two days later
 She was humming another tune
Another poppy tune

She skips on down/to the record store
Thumbs through records
She used to adore
