Collaborations

Ollie Regal

Hands. A track off an EP I wrote in a seemingly manic 5 days, writing a song a day representing a series of people and their stories. It will be called People.Perspectives, and may be out this year if at all.

If this EP ever eventuates, I'll seek out separate beats from separate producers and ask them to remake the original beat in their interpretation (...perspectives, geddit?). I have too much respect for Buck 65 to try to reuse or abuse his beat. This is just a rough demo.

The beat is off Buck 65's 'Situation' album from 2007. The song is called 'The Outskirts'. Seriously, if you want to listen to songwriting at its finest, go and listen to that song and the whole album. 10 times.

Peace.

Lyrics follow....

Jofoo
Life is a Seed x3 

CHORUS:
Life is a seed and I came to grow, 
naming the foes I forget my woes. 
Lows with no highs: the most boring show, 
hold on tight and let it all go 

Design
In my heart’s garden there is a teacher, 
a sonic seed, humble creature, 
speaking soft words of wisdom
guiding me slowly as I listen, It tells me
thoughts and deeds are seeds, 
and truth is the flower it seeks to breathe.
my space of love wants talls trees
towering above I progress indeed! (progress!) 
Indeed I will, 
for we each have our garden to till,
Do we plant seeds of an expertise, 
or, do we water weeds of the next disease?
I know what I need. 
land, food and the finest squeeze! 
This universe’ll grow what we sow!  
dropping my woes, I let my smile grow

JoFoo and Design
I try to swim / against the current
I try to run / step by step
I try to jump / retrying heights
I try to fly / sky’s the limit
And I struggle…. Until I find air / breathe in, breathe in! 

CHORUS

Design 
Deep underground, seeds hear the call,
To rise like Ron Paul against em all, 
Past solid soil, we breakthrough
Tasting the sky, raising the view. 
Cuz there’s a clearing in gaia’s ceiling
With room for each bloom that’s pioneering.
Check your steering, forget the veering
To the shine we climb, persevering!

I see my garden all round, 
high in the canopy – I feel the crown, 
Can it be? the fragrance of pollen, 
sweetness of sound steps solving problems 
I’m still in progress like all of life, 
I’ll still remain honest, despite all the strife, 
Watering my seeds with diligent deeds, 
Until they rise up as the tallest of trees. 


JoFoo
How can I see, when my heeaaart is cold, [Be Strong] 
Gotta be strong, moving on, to break the mold [Breakthrough] 
How can I walk, when my legs are weak, [Be Strong] 
Gotta be strong, moving on, to the sound of my soul

CHORUS

JoFoo and Design
Power to the people, reunite the peaceful x4
Reunite the peaceful x2

Colour. Huge props to Chance Son for the beat! Lyrics follow:

Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 
Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 

Her eyes dragged on the ground, steps heavy
Same route each day, all grey always
yesterday’s muck stuck on replay 
stumbling unsure of what to stay 
She tripped on the concrete, blessing in disguise 
between her fingertips lay the flower of life 
breathing its fragrance of ancient songs 
her soul began to dance, blossoming strong as…

Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 
Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 

As she caressed its petals, colour flowed down 
from the heavens until it graced her crown 
channeled through to the soles of her feet, 
Then outward bound to the souls in the street, 
people stopped, and for the first time truly looked 
at the cost of their lifeless machines, 
they questioned the loss of their once priceless dreams. 

United though alone, afraid of change
They turned to the girl in their monochrome haze
Her eyes ablaze with a zest for life 
her gaze embracing both dark and light 
the people understood the plight of the pavement, 
tearing it up to end their enslavement 
scattering/planting seeds, asking to remain nameless 
they sang this song of the ancients..

Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 
Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. [Rpt]

* My first attempt at story-telling, hope you dig it! Written and recorded in about 3 hours.

Who got the funk, y'all?!  
Bigups to Seismo for the choice beat! 
Agenda reps the first verse while I bring it home with samples from the Parliament Funkadelic. 

Lyrics:
(Agenda)

(Design)
This is my open letter endeavouring to be better forever 
the veteran of clever pleasure unfettered like zephyr feathers 
dropping letters like lepers, hotter than redder peppers
Whatever the weather, I treasure us here together! 

Now get your your back off the wall like it’s scorching hot 
holding the torch high, dancing in the melting pot 
advance and enhance all you got, 
it’s not target practice, Fact is we hit the spot

Letting feet move to forge a new groove 
no words elude spiritual views of our crew 
debut styles shiftin like desert dunes
born to wild out to these funky tunes 

and make ya savour the flavor of the One Creator 
wonderous inventor of all nature, 
I nurture to provide vibes which alert ya 
to ride soundscapes like a sonic surfer, huh!

Funk (feat. Agenda) [Prod. Seismo70]
