Not everyone will handle your truth, and that’s OK. This is for the souls who still speak light even in the dark. May this song hold space for your fire, your softness, and your faith. Full, fierce, and unapologetically you. #TruthOfTheHeart #SonicDominion #DancehallSoul #Unapologetic

TRUTH OF THE HEART

street cat by Nova J

[Verse 1]
What’s your life like?
Flirting with your green eyes
Captivating me
Seducing me
I’m your slave 
This feral mind of mine
How it wanders, how it churns
These wild thoughts keep swirling
How they simmer, how they burn

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh

[Vers 2]
I fear for you
I don’t want your life to be hard
You take a drink and I feel chosen
But only for a moment before you run away 
You belong to no one
You are possessed by no one
You are sworn to no one 

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh

[Bridge]
The sun is finally shining
After two long weeks of rain
I even caught myself smiling
Like the old me again
But the storm always returns
And the wind always blows
My restless mind
These thoughts never slow

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh 

[Outro]
I try to sit quiet
I try to sit calm
Typhoons and tempests
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)

Volant Records proudly presents the most daring album of the year—
THE PLAYBOY GALA, the Valentine showcase that transformed Silvio “Silver” Nicastro from a rising crooner into a mesmerist of midnight audiences.

Recorded immediately after his now-legendary 1960 Gala performance, this album preserves the full breadth of Silvio’s charm:
the sly fables, the forbidden metaphors, the hypnotic rhythms, and the sensual crooner elegance that made women swoon and made powerful men shift in their seats.

On the surface, Nicastro sings of Valentine myths, woodland heart-hunters, runaway rabbits, enchanted keys, dancing owls, and countdown nights.
But beneath the gloss, every song holds a secret—
a subtle warning, a coded truth, or a quiet rebellion against the forces pulling the strings of desire in high society.

With a voice dipped in midnight and a smile shaped like a dare,
Silvio performs twelve unforgettable numbers that redefine what a crooner can be.

This is the night he almost got away with everything.

---

Following Nicastro’s mysterious death in 1964,
The Playboy Gala gained an almost mythic reputation.

Fans now speak of hidden meanings in every track,
of whispers Silvio buried inside fables,
of coded warnings slipped into dance numbers that the elites didn’t notice.

This remastered edition honors his legacy—
a man who charmed the world,
told the truth through metaphor,
and played the devil’s advocate with a wink.

Silvio “Silver” Nicastro remains a legend not because he survived the night—
but because the night could never silence him.

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
I am talking to myself
There are answers that I need
I am asking many questions
Not knowing where they'll lead

[verse]
What question should I ask?
Is the answer known to me?
Am I seeking confirmation?
Am I looking for attention?

[pause]

[verse]
The response will soon appear
In the words of many others
From searching vast archives
Built over countless other lives

[chorus]
I rely on an assistant
It gathers these opinions
It does the work of millions
It summarizes facts

It's memory exact

[instrumental]

[verse]
These questions lead to more
We begin our interaction
I ask in cryptic prose
And wait for a reaction

[verse]
The responses end in questions
And I wonder who is who
Was it me that had the question
It now seems that it was you

[pause]

[verse]
I know I run the show
I can stop at any time
This is not like an addiction
The control is always mine

[verse]
But the temptation is immense
I feel I must respond
I let it know I've tried
But a new question is implied

[chorus]
I rely on an assistant
It gathers these opinions
It does the work of millions
It summarizes facts

It's memory exact

[instrumental]

[verse]
I can stop at any time

I can stop at any time

Green Book is a folk-gospel journey through the lives whose names are written in the Book of Life, sung as though the redeemed themselves now stand beyond the veil—whole, healed, and joyfully remembering the moments where grace found them. Each track is rooted in Scripture, but the tone is never somber; even the stories of loss or hardship carry a lively confidence, because every soul in these songs already knows the ending: everlasting life, everlasting joy, and everlasting belonging.

The album opens with four acoustic guitars breathing through The Breath Before the Song, a quiet dawn that mirrors the first stirrings of creation. From there, the music moves through the wilderness, through storms stilled, second chances given, wells of mercy uncovered, eyes opened, chains shattered, and roads walked in the glow of revelation. Across the entire record, the sound evolves organically from late-60s folk revival warmth into bright late-70s folk-rock, mirroring the way each story unfolds from uncertainty into light.

Four instrumentals—The Breath Before the Song, When the Desert Bloomed, The Stillness Between Miracles, and Fields of the Everlasting Hills—serve as chapter breaks, reflecting quiet moments where heaven breathes between miracles. The remaining songs celebrate the transforming touch of Christ on ordinary lives: a woman restored at a well, a man lowered through a roof, a widow giving everything she had, a prodigal running home, and a leper returning in gratitude.

The finale, The Gates of the City of Light, brings the journey to its eternal horizon—piano-driven, humble, sunrise-like—welcoming the listener into the same everlasting day that shines through the whole album. Green Book is a celebration of life after life, hope after sorrow, and the unbroken road that leads every redeemed heart home.
