AGUA SAGRADA
2020 NPR Tiny Desk Entry 

Agua Sagrada written in 2016 at Standing Rock
Amidst all the Daily Chaos I would come back to the statue called 
"Not Afraid To Look"  by Lakota Artist Charles Rencountre 
that was overlooking everything that was unfolding during this important rise of water protectors.  I spent the better part of 6 months back and forth to standing rock, supporting, and doing my best to make the most of a difficult and powerful setting for many. 

lyrics
One breath can take us to the edge
One step can walk us to the ledge
One stone heated till its red
Splits wide open, under prayers of the water
And reminds us
Everything we touch
Everything we see
is sacred

chorus
There’s a place that I know
A river Deep down in my soul
strong currents moving  me
flowing towards the mighty seas
And it’s Time, Time Time 
To go home

 One struggle, is deeper than it seems
Truths moments, rise up to meet our dreams
Life’s water, rushing toward the sea
Collected from the mountains the stones and the trees
And fills up
Pure water in our children
Pure water in our tears
Agua Sagrada 

(3) Prayers around fires, has more power than the fear
Wide circles, around our families that are dear
Tall giants always fall to tiny stones
The power that we wield when were gathered like the seas
Our voices
Amplifies our courage
Uniting all our teardrops
Agua sagrada
 Chorus

Outro -Agua sagraada                                                 
En Mi Corazon                                                               
Mi sangre es  mi agua                                                 
Y mi agua es mi viento –
Hermana agua es sagrada                                           
Madre agua  es  nuestra vida                                    
Agua es un milagro                                                       
Prometo Mantenerla pura                                     
Y ella fluye                                                             
Ellla fluye                                                               
Libramente   

Sacred Water, In my Heart
My Blood Is my water
and my water is my wind
sister water is sacred
mother water is our life
our water is a miracle,
promise to keep her pure
and she flows
she flows
she flow free

Nils Frahm is one of the best artists out there in my opinion, with pretty much the best live show I've ever seen. But aside from all that, this was just a really enjoyable remix to work on because the original is such a great piece of music, and seemingly so well suited to what I wanted to do with it - which was to try and turn Nils' instrumental jam on his Juno, into something house/techno/club/44 compatible, but still carrying the class and feeling of the original. It was one of those remixes that just seemed to fit and flow easily, with minimum strain and maximum enjoyment on my part - usually a good sign for a remix (the one's that have to be forced never seem to quite get there).

Big thanks to Billboard for featuring this remix, which is now available as part of my Balance 030 compilation:

Nils Frahm - For - Max Cooper remix

Imagine Bukowski and Lou Reed hanging at the Sunset Grill late at night writing vignettes. Leonard Cohen walks by and tosses the pair a copy of Ecce Homo - and they all start prayin'. Or  - -- - just imagine me 25 years ago, fresh from the cornfields, wondering where all of my innocence got off too.
