DOOMTREE

An open-book audio reading of what can turn into a full scale saga, if these chumps continue to let their egos govern their actions towards others.  This track, produced by Strange Matter, has emerged from the camel's back breaking, specifically due to an ongoing history of disrespect towards fans, artists, show-goers, common people, and the city in general of Des Moines, Iowa from this pseudo-rap crew made up of the cast of Dirty Dancing, more commonly referred to as DoomTree, with the most notable offenses being attributed to little Mikey Mictlan.

DoomsDay for DoomTree: Ch. 1

Almost one year after the release of her critically acclaimed album Parts of Speech, Dessa is releasing a remix EP featuring new takes from a number of talented artists including Doomtree cohorts Cecil Otter, Lazerbeak, as part of COMMITTEE (Lazerbeak x Ryan Olson), as well as Budo, Grant Cutler, among others. The first single, “Fighting Fish” comes remixed by The Hood Internet and is available as an instant grat track if pre-ordered from iTunes.

This live version was recorded during SXSW 2014 at Daytrotter's studio: 
"We knew what Sage Francis was going to do to us when he came by the studio in Austin a month ago. We knew he was going to destroy us. We just didn't know he was going to destroy us as much as he wound up destroying us. He's a rapper unequaled and his new record, 'COPPER GONE', is a goddamned blessing, after a four year break between records. This particular song from the full session floored us. We were slack-jawed and stunned by the passionate delivery and sentiment in 'Thank You' and we all -- Sage included -- wanted to get this out into the world in front of the full session." - Sean Moeller www.daytrotter.com

Ton Sourire - Your Smile

Composition & Lyrics by Ravid Kahalani
Arranged by Itamar Borochov
Translated by Patricia Cohen

De grands yeux amoureux écarquilles Ton visage contre le mien
Je peux voir ton sourire s'offrir à moi Et me souleve très haut
Certains se sentent faiblir Tu sais que j vais sombre Certains ne changent pas
Le temps répare les rêves, les efface... et tu t'éloignes de moi Tu ne ressens pas la peur juste un regard gentil
En Moi je ressens la réponse à ce que je suis
Big eyes in love, are open
With your face against mine
I can see your smile reaching out to me And i can feel so high
Some of us feel the blame, You know i’v got to fall Some of us still the same
Time is taking my dream to its end
And you go far away
You can find no fear, Just some kind of goodness And i can find answers to all i am

LYRICS

I’ve been Wendy
living with the Lost Boys
youth spent as a deckhand on the convoy
moved every night to prove we were something
got confused if it was from or to that we were running. 
I've seen Gibraltar
I’ve seen the Taj Mahal
Soweto, Hagia Sophia 
Chefchaouen paints their walls blue
I’ve played to full rooms
I’ve played the fool too 
burning through the bottoms of a pair of new boots
Cut my hair
tape my tits down 
A woman on her own must be from out of town
funny, you don’t know the concessions that you’re making until you catalog em
and by then they’re many and you’re battle-hardened. 
Heat makes liquid of the asphalt 
keepsakes and parking tickets on the dashboard 
I'm here to file my report as the vixen of the wolf pack; 
tell Patient Zero, he can have his rib back. 

Chorus
You can count my ribs
Wanna know what class I’m in—
Count my,
You can count my ribs. 

You can’t be too broke to break
as a woman
Always something left to take 
so you shouldn't  
try to stay too late or talk to strangers
look too long, go too far out of range cause
angels can’t watch everybody all the time
stay close, hems low, safe inside;
that formula works if you can live it 
but it works by putting half the world off limits. 

Chorus

We don’t say, Go out and be brave
nah, we say Be careful, stay safe 
in any given instance, that don't hurt
but it sinks in like stilettos in soft earth,
like the big win is a day without an incident 
I beg to differ with it
I think a woman’s worth
I think that she deserves 
a better line of work 
than motherfucking vigilance.
Don’t give me vigilance
by definition 
you can’t make a difference 
if the big ambition 
is simply standing sentry to your innocence  
that’s not a way to live 
that can’t be what a woman is
that gives her nothing to aspire to.
What that is—
what that is
is just a life of running fire drills. 

We’re runnin fire drills.
