SUPERsonic6

Courtney Marie Andrews - Old Flowers

Roslyn - Bon Iver & St. Vincent

From the Gilles Peterson curated collection 'To Those Of Earth... And Other Worlds]
Out 30th October 2015 on Strut
Order: https://lnk.to/GillesSunRA

Originally released on the LP 'New Steps' (HDP 25-26). Written and Arranged by Sun Ra. Published by Enterplanetary Koncepts. Recorded in Rome, 2nd and 7th January 1978. 

Sun Ra: Crumar Mainman, keyboards, piano, vocals
Michael Ray: trumpet, vocals
John Gilmore: tenor saxophone, percussion, vocals
Luqman Ali: drums, vocals

From the album's liner notes:
In January 1978, Sun Ra brought a quartet to Italy. He bought himself a Crumar Mainman keyboard, then made two double albums in Rome. His new drummer, Luqman Ali, had been in the Arkestra in Chicago; Sun Ra hadn’t brought a bassist, so programmed some keyboard ostinatos; his trumpeter, Michael Ray, broke into stratospheric runs, battling John Gilmore in furious improvisations. Gilmore was closer to Coltrane now than ever been and they fittingly made a driving version of ‘My Favorite Things’. But laments like ‘When There Is No Sun’ are equally inspired.

"Joni Mitchell is the logical comparison to the soft howl and deep-Canyon vibrato of her vocals, but there are echoes of the Indigo Girls and even Ryan Adams’ Gold too since her songs are anchored by smart lyricism that seems more like an intimate conversation than a fiery confessional.” - Rolling Stone

“She writes with such empathy and insight that she gives Lucinda a run for her money.” - American Songwriter

"It is a remarkably assured piece of work, gracefully furnished and artfully wrought" - Uncut

"Rich, understated and resonant." - Mojo

"an album at once elegant and deeply moving." - Paste

"Album of the Year" - The Bluegrass Situation

LYRICS:

Farewell, Irene, where your dreams are bound I just can’t tell,
But we both know, Irene, they won’t come true at the bottom of a well.
Gain some confidence, Irene, if you speak let your voice ring out,
But keep your grace, Irene, Don’t go fallin’ in love with yourself.

You are a magnet, Irene,
Sometimes good people draw troublesome things.

The heart is funny Irene, you can’t control who it wants to love,
So let it love, Irene, man or woman, or anyone it wants.
You dream of the north, Irene, well than that’s where you oughta be,
But you gotta want it, Irene, don't follow any path half-heartedly.

You are a magnet, Irene,
Sometimes good people draw troublesome things.

Lyrics:

Hook

Dont stay awake for too long
Dont go to bed
Ill make a cup of coffee for your head
Ill get u up and going out of bed

v1
I don’t wanna fall asleep
I don’t wanna pass away
Thinking of r future cuz 
Ill never see those days

I don’t know why this has happened
But I probably deserve it
I tried to do my best
But u know that I’m not perfect

Ive been praying for forgiveness
you’ve been praying for my health
when I leave this earth
Hoping you’ll find somebody else

Cuz ya we still young
Theres so much we haven’t done
Getting married
Start a family
Watch ur husband with his son

I wish it could be me
But I won’t make it off this bed
Hope I go to heaven so I see u once again

Ya my life was kind of short
But I got so many blessings
happy u were mine 
it sucks that its all ending

v2
Im happy that u here w me
Sorry if I tear up
When me and u were younger
U would always make me cheer up

taking goofy videos
And walking through the park
U would jump into my arms 
Every time u heard a bark

We would cuddle in your sheets
Sing me sound asleep
And sneak out through your kitchen at exactly 1:03

Sundays go to church
Mondays watch a movie
soon you’ll be alone
Sorry that u have to loose me

The Gospel of Mary / Losing Battles

Losing Battles (Acoustic)

Stream 'i dreamed i was the night'
ffm.to/idiwtn

You twisted the words and spat them at me
I twisted your world then you couldn’t see the wood from the trees 
No you couldn’t see the roots wrapped around me. 

Then hung like the moon all wrapped in the stars 
So softly I swooned at you from afar and the forward you came 
All draped in a light that I promised to save 

So I spoke to god to figure it out 
Please clean out your ghosts they’re inside my house again and I cannot sleep 
No not while they’re flying in circles round me 

Put your love around me 
Hold it close so I can see again 
Out of my head 
So I can say 
Baby come back to bed 

Put your love around me 
Hold it close so I can see again 
Out of my eyes
 So I can say 
Baby just spend the night 

Put your love around me 
Hold it close so I can see again 
Out of my head 
So I can say 
Baby come back to bed

i spoke to god
