Stunning cover Jake. Really adore this ^____^

Love your artistry Jake. So looking forward to your brilliant career.

Consumerism is a track coming out on the eve of Ms. Hill's release. She wanted to get this music out while she was incarcerated, as it is a product of the space she was in while she was going through some of the challenges she has been faced with recently.

Lyrics: http://mslaurynhill.tumblr.com/post/63565382195
 
"Consumerism is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in. We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side. Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it. I haven't been able to watch the news too much recently, so I'm not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes what happens. I couldn't imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking it's level."

I've been debating whether to upload this one, and I've given in. A live version of my favourite Beyoncé song. It's not perfect, but it's a bit of fun. See what you think.

I know this still needs work, but I thought i'd post the rough on here for now anyway..! I've been wanting to use these song lyrics of mine for a while now, so I composed some original music for them and voila! :) Free download! 

LYRICS:
I need not say that we were strangers
Howling up at the same moon
With our legs oh so ready to run
Blinded by the very same sun

And no you need not mock me daily
With tremendous hazel gazers
When your queen has been cast
I am all that has passed

We roam x8
Wild as wolves

I seem quiet
I seem bitter
It's cos i cannot quit you
Though i've always been a quitter

I need not say that we're in danger
Crying up to the same man
Sailing in the same direction
Longing for long longed perfection

We roam
Wild as wolves

Barbed wire birds
Their winter wings
A clearer mind
Full of simpler things

The moon kept a watchful eye
As the hours passed us by
