A song about the way in which music can be a vital conduit for the survival of cultural memory.

Re-Memory (feat. junYAH)

Grace (feat. Bettina)

Had this song stuck in my head for a while so I re-made the beat and wrote my own verses to it. That chorus thouuughhhh jheeeez

Damselfly (Loyle Carner Rework)

Something I wrote a while back based on something my friends and I used to say often. Bless UP.

LYRICS:

I might just fly down to Rome
Somewhere that's treasured and old
Get lost in a colosseum
Play a new song for the Pope
White flag, white smoke
Surrender the battle is done
Inhale, breathe slow
Somehow the pressure lets up

Bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up

Look into the mirror
And I see my nemesis
I don't have to go far
I don't have to go far
I don't have to go far
And I'm
Desperate for a fresh start
A genesis
From which I'll take off

Bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up

Bless UP

NO THROUGH WAY

'AN ODE TO LIBERATION AND THE UNSHACKLING OF ONESELF'

LYRICS:

OH ITS JUST ME
SO FREE
CAN'T YOU SEE

WHEN LIFE GOES TOO FAST
YOU'VE GOT TO SLOW DOWN
SHIT, I KNOW NOW
GOT TO BREATHE, PLEASE
TAKE IT EASY
ITS YOUR JOURNEY
SEE
I WILL NEVER CHANGE FOR YOU
NO WAY
IM OKAY

I'VE BEEN DREAMING, OF THIS FREEDOM

OH ITS JUST ME
SO FREE
CAN'T YOU SEE

THOUGHT THERE WAS FREEDOM IN MONEY
THOUGHT THERE WAS FREEDOM IN THINGS THAT I OWNED
LAND OF THE MILK AND THE HONEY
I'VE GOT WHAT I NEED BUT I'M LOOKING FOR MORE
SO REALLY HOW CAN I BE FREE
SHOW ME A WAY I CAN BREAK FROM THIS HOLD
LOOSEN THE HINGES AND BREAK IN THE DOOR
LIKE DJ KHALED WE KEEP IT WAY ABOVE AVERAGE
THERE'S NO ONE WHO'S GOING TO PASS US
IN OTHER WORDS WE THE BEST
THERE ARE PLENTY WHO COULD ATTEST
I'M DREAMING OUT IN THE OPEN
DREAMS WRESTLE ME LIKE I'M JACOB
I'LL BATTLE THEM TILL THE MORNING
SUNRISE IS WHERE I'LL BE SINGING

OPEN YOUR MIND AND LIVE INSIDE
FREEDOM IS A STATE OF MIND
A STATE OF MIND
ONE OF A KIND
AS I, LOOK TO THE SKY
THEY WATCH ME FLY
WHERE DO I GO, I DON'T KNOW
JUST STAY IN CONTROL

I'VE BEEN DREAMING, OF THIS FREEDOM

OH ITS JUST ME
SO FREE
CAN'T YOU SEE

PROUD OF THE LIFE THAT I LEAD
WANT AND NEED, SEEK AND BELIEVE
SUN DIVE IN THE WATER, MOON HIGHER THE TREES,
WHILE SHE SHINE ON THE SEA, SHINE ON ME

CANDLE BURNING SO THE PEN STROKE SMOOTHER
RHYMES MORE FLUID, DREAMS MORE LUCID
I SAW MY FUTURE AS A LIFETIME MOVEMENT
I SAW MY FUTURE ROOTED DEEP INTO THE MUSIC
LIKE SAUL ON THE WAY TO DAMASCUS
I WAS, GRAPHIC, ANGRY AND LASHING OUT OFTEN
TILL THE LIGHT FROM ABOVE DID SHINE ON ME
ONCE BLINDED ME 
BUT NOW I CAN SEE
THE PATH NEVER WAS A STRAIGHT ONE
REMEMBER EULOGISING SUNRISES
AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN
RUNNING FROM SUN RAYS FOR THE FEAR THEY WOULD SCORCH ME
IN THE SHADE OF THE KITCHEN WE WOULD LISTEN TO ELDER'S STORIES
OF THE DAYS THAT HAD PASSED BEFORE US
DIARIES PASSED DOWN IN THE ORAL FORMAT
LIGHT FORMS SO FREE OF A CATEGORY
WISDOM PASSED DOWN LET IT SHINE UPON ME

PROUD OF THE LIFE THAT I LEAD
WANT AND NEED, SEEK AND BELIEVE
SUN DIVE IN THE WATER, MOON HIGHER THE TREES,
WHILE SHE SHINE ON THE SEA, SHINE ON ME

PROUD OF THE LIFE THAT I LEAD
THAT I'VE LED
LIKE THE LEAD OF THE TIP OF THE BULLET
LEAVES YOU DEAD
SO I'M GRATEFUL, FOR EVERYTHING THAT I'VE GOT
AND THE DAYS I GET TO SEE ON THE WAY TO THE TOP
CAUSE THE LOVE DON'T STOP AND THE BEAT'S GONE ROCK
AND I ROLL WITH THE ONES THAT GREW UP ON THE BLOCK
OF THE STREETS, THAT I WALK, LIKE A BREEZE TO A FLOCK
AND I CAN LIE AND SAY I ALWAYS SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE
WE'RE ONLY HUMAN SO THE EARTH IS WHAT CAN MAKE US RICHER
I STOP TO FIGURE,
OUT, ABOUT THE BEAUTY FROM WITHIN
THE MORE YOU KNOW YOURSELF THE MORE YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU GOTTA DO SO YOU CAN WIN,
MY NEXT OF KIN IS GONNA LEARN ABOUT THE GOODNESS THAT EXISTS
IF YOU'RE UNAWARE OF THIS IT CAN'T REALLY BE MISSED,
SO I SIT, AND REMINISCE
I'M THANKFUL FOR THE LIFE I LIVED

PROUD OF THE LIFE THAT I LEAD
WANT AND NEED, SEEK AND BELIEVE
SUN DIVE IN THE WATER, MOON HIGHER THE TREES,
WHILE SHE SHINE ON THE SEA, SHINE ON ME
