Your song arrangements are always so fresh! I love it!! This is definitely the alien abduction tune I didn't know I needed!

hey Janine your music is brilliantly thought through and perfectly brought on tape. I love each and every song here. wow!!

@bdrosa: thank you Bernie, I very much appreciate your visit and generous comments!

Oooo, I love this beat. Puts me in mind of some old school R&B, which I totally dig.

Beautiful lyrics and vocals, as always. I love the transition to that faster tempo, and the playfulness of the abduction theme.

Creative music Janine with terrific lyrics. You have such a flexible singing style and vocal quality. Durge

No Crowded Eastern Street
by Frieda Major (1891-1976)

No crowded eastern street,
no sound of passing feet;
far to the left and far to right
the prairie snows spread fair and white;
yet still to us is born tonight
the child, the King of glory.

No rock-hewn place of peace
shared with the gentle beasts,
but sturdy farm house, stout and warm,
with stable, shed and great red barn;
and still tonight is born tonight
the child, the King of glory.

No blaze of heavenly fire,
no bright, celestial choir,
only the starlight as of old,
crossed by the planes' flash, red and gold;
yet still to us is born tonight
the child, the King of glory.

Poetry, vocals, and drum machine by Jeff a.k.a. STONERJAZZ. 
Check out his page for more in this series and lots of other great poetry! @user-911083679

Jo Richter a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches produced and performed all of the music on Pieces of the Sun. He also contributed modulated vocals and awesome low-end experimentation on Sublime. Look him up for more amazing soundscapes and poetry @sonic-textures 

I produced and contributed most of the instrumentation for Sublime and Giant Ball of Gas

SUBLIME

Everything you say and do, there is a watcher watching you
the silent witness standing there with stars and spiders in her hair-

There is a place inside my space that opens up from time to time
and it's Sublime yeah it's sublime

But i can't stay there all the time
though i want to real bad
i'm sure it would be fine

i guess i can't keep living this crazy life that i been living all these years
my body's saying oh no oh ,no no no no--

69 times around the Sun and workin on another One.......

PIECES OF THE SUN

Hey everybody, let's come together
let;s find the pathway, let's find the path way
let's try to remember the purpose of which we are meant for
Hey everybody let's come together
Let's meet in the clearing where cookfires are burning
and spirits are yearning for things that are real.

I'd like to find a song to sing that would fix everything
I'd like to like to love the world again, like I did way back then.
Here's some news for everyone, We are all pieces of the sun
We're all Luminousity-
We are all absolutely free.

GIANT BALL OF GAS

Just out here in the middle of the void
Spinning fast around a giant burning ball of gas
that's hurdling thru the deepest darkest space
meteors and comets are Zooming by at breakneck pace
The situation seems to be a little bit precarious
some might even say Nefarious.

how can it be that tragedy can sometimes be
almost hilarious
Stupidity it seems to be the order of the day
yet here we are and here we go
onward out like warriors without a clue
and everyone will play their part
of this i'm sure, l know it's true!!

You Were Sleeping
Janine Levinson 2020

everyone needs an alien abduction tune


The part of the story I never can tell
Is the part when you open your eyes
Its anti-climactic, but that’s just as well
The ending is still a surprise

You were sleeping          
You were sleeping
And the galaxy shone on the ceiling

I’m not in the habit of waking at night
And maybe it all was a dream
But I turned to you and I swear that a light 
Was drawing you up in its beam
You were sleeping          
You were sleeping
And the sky opened up in the ceiling
 
The white sheet trailed like a wedding gown
And you were an alien bride
A bit of snore bled from your parted lips
As you sailed past the stars in the sky

The end of the story still gives me the chills 
The moment you came back to me
I was up waiting and downward you fell
Still dreaming and wrapped your sheet, I said:

Open your eyes, I’m here right next to you
Open your eyes, 
Open your eyes, I will take care of you
Open your eyes, 

You were sleeping          
You were sleeping
And the galaxy shone on the ceiling

You Were Sleeping

Revealing in this song something so crucial & dear to me, that was still secret for most of my friends & fans on internet :) & by the way showing respect to all mothers...

UNITED FOR LIFE

A powerful song about a soldier who's stationed abroad in a war stricken zone and deeply longs for his precious family as everything is now washed away and gone. The cold and dusty haze, the land that's all torn up and distraught has simply become all too much to bear.

War is never pretty and so let us give love and deep gratitude to our veterans, to the soldiers who sacrifice/d and bring great justice and freedom to all...they are also suffering tremendous mental torture...the dark remnants of what they endured is forever lingering inside them...let us help make a difference by showing our deep regard and respect...to also give love and understanding, to help them recover and feel happiness again - May this song fill everyone up with endless love and positivity - XO

Thank you so much Dear Colin for Family, this magnificent reigning work of pop-rock art...Your music is an absolute joy to me...your friendship and belief in me keep me bliss-fully-hyped-up-&-energized....My deepest heartfelt gratitude and love for all that you have given me on Milky Ocean and now on Family...I look so forward to our next songs together,  Rekha - XO-XO-XO

Family – Music & Lyrics by REKHA, (Written on Feb 22nd, 2020)

My head is full of precious memories
Sweet and Dear
Where I long to be
With my family who love me
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oh, Oh-Oh  

The time has come when all is in the past
I’m finally free, free at last
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo-Wo
No more call of special duty
For all is washed away and gone
But I am still strong
Holdin’ on, on, on  
Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh

Chorus

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me, (Ee-Ee-Ee-Ee)

Family, my family  
(Nothing’s ever gonna break us apart)

I feel alone, so alone
In the cold and dusty haze
Far abroad in the land
All torn up and distraught
I tried so hard to help the people
I tried my best  
But couldn’t, couldn’t save them all
(Sometimes I feel so small)

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me
Hey-Ee, Eh-Ee-Yeah
Family, my family

(Break)

I am so weak
And just need my strength
You can only get it back  
From those who truly love me  

Family, family
The one’s I love
The one’s who I want
So, so near, we’re made
Hoh-Oo, Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo, Oh-Oo-Wo

(Outro)

Family, family
Yeah-Yeah
My precious family
Precious family
Oh Yeah

Have fun! Hope you will enjoy it! Repost, fav and comments on the track line are welcome!!!!

Wicked babylon

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it
