Music For Dreams Radio Show 4.5.24

Lost In Space by New York City based Warren Doris flew under the radar upon its initial release in 1981. Despite radio play in the Northeastern US, the tune never completely broke out and instead became a closely guarded secret among soul music aficionados. More than four decades after its release, the emotional power of Warren’s vocal performance and the lush, swelling arrangement have cemented the record’s well deserved status as a holy grail for collectors.

Meticulously remixed and remastered from the original 16-track tapes by Warren himself, this new edition of Lost In Space does justice to the original with three all new cuts; The familiar extended mix and new radio edit pair with an instrumental version and a heavy dub of “Let It Show,” the flip side on the original pressing.

“This was my breakup song for my ex-wife. I was 28 and she was 32 at the time. Now here we are 43 years later. It was originally released on my label, Maya Communications. At the time it got a bunch of airplay in New York, South Carolina, and Washington D.C., but I got jerked by the distributors on my money, so I couldn’t keep up with the demand for the repress. The fact that it stayed enough to be selling for $1000 says a bunch.” - Warren Doris

I feel most at home playing a warm up or side room set. This mix is downtempo-focused, with some ambient dub and vaguely gothic undertones - Jess Sneddon

Music Before Bread w/ Tyler & Emma - May 11th 2024

This is Vol. 02 of one of my oldest peace prayer blues song (which I released as a single many months ago), about war history that repeats again and again and again... as if our foolish lill' goldfish brains were forever bamboozled into believing long-term "winning" means "beating" others, as if Blaise Pascal was an idiot and the ends always justified the means, as if ego power was more important to nurture than breathing in peace, as if taking brought more joy than sharing or giving, as if caring was too much to dare  #dontbeafoolishgoldfish

This EPx15 flows Cello INDIE (1-2) ❯ Psychedelic DUB (3-5) ❯ Gipsy LOFI (6-10) ❯ Dubby Banjo FOLK (11-13) ❯ True Soul BLUES (14-15) ... and I know I'm biased, but I thinks it's a beautiful one #enjoy

@bananasutra "Foolish Goldfish" @songlyrics

[Intro]
Breathe in slow… 
Hum the truths we know… 
Shadows rise… 
Blessed be whys…

[Verse 1]
Take a moment, take a breath, 
Let it settle in your chest. 
What is fair, what is right? 
Why do nightmares shape the night?

Stalin, Putin in disguise, 
Same old hunger in their eyes. 
Not the red, not the blue, 
Just the ego breaking through.

[Hook]
Ohhh… round and round we go,
 In a world we barely know… 
Bananasutra helps you grow, 
Truth is a river in the undertow.

Why chase ‘em turds made of gold? 
Why trust the fake news we’re told? 
Foolish goldfish in the cold… 
Swimming through the lies we hold… ohhh…

[Verse 2]
Oh humanity, so blind, 
Wearing veils around the mind. 
Dumbed and numbed and growing growl, 
Like foolish goldfish in a bowl.

Contrarian skies crack and cry, 
Storms repeating, don’t ask why. 
Encore echoes at the door, 
Here we go to war once more.

[Hook]
Ohhh… round and round we go, 
In a world we barely know… 
Bananasutra let it flow, 
Truth is a river in the undertow.

Why chase ‘em turn made of gold? 
Why trust the fake news we’re told? 
Foolish goldfish in the cold… 
Swimming through the lies we hold… ohhh…

[Bridge]
Are we tangled in some pride? 
Lost and drifting with their tide? 
Can we learn, can we see? 
Can we break the loops and be free?

[Verse 3]
Think deep now, take it slow, 
Let your inner lantern glow. 
Freedom’s not an outer fight, 
Ego is the cage inside.

Look within, let it shine, 
Light the shadows in your mind. 
Every ism, every blow, 
Is a mask that just won’t glow.

[Hook]
Ohhh… round and round we go, 
In a mind we barely know… 
Bananasutra, take a bow, 
Truth is a river in the undertow.

Why chase the glitter and gold? 
Why trust the stories we’re told? 
Foolish goldfish in the cold… 
Swimming through the lies we hold… ohhh…

Ohhh… loops beneath the sky… 
Ohhh… never asking why… 
Ohhh… chasing every lie… 
But I try, please let’s try… ohhh…
