The harmonies in this are just phenomenal

This one really makes you think about home!

This is the kind of song that stays with you long after it's over

The way she blends her voice with the music is pure art

QBANGGA NEW MIXTAPE " TIME A TELL 3 " LISTEN NOW

LAWSUIT

My new song and video "Turn Back" is the third of the trilogy of videos I filmed in Ukraine in August, 2023. It has multiple meanings depending on the place in which you find yourself.  For many people, it is a plea to a loved one who looking for something somewhere else to find it right there at home.  But for me, this song and video are about Ukraine. First, it is a call for those millions of refugees who left Ukraine after the war began to come back home to help Ukraine rebuild.  Ukraine needs you and this is where your heart remains.  Second, it expresses the longing of all those Ukrainians who have a  friend or family member fighting near or far to come back home alive. In the video, you can see photos of thousands of soldiers who died defending Ukraine. Those photos are posted on The Wall of Remembrance next to St. Michael's Cathedral in Kyiv, the bells of which were heard all over Kyiv in December 2013 at the beginning of the “Revolution of Dignity” of Euromaidan. Ten years ago, there were only 100 photos on that wall of the “Heavenly Hundred” who were killed by terrorists at Maidan in Kyiv. Now there are more than ten thousands photos with more added every day. The destroyed enemy tanks and heavy military equipment shown in the video are set up in the square next to the cathedral to remind people of the terror unleashed against innocent Ukrainians. These three videos form a trilogy of modern Ukrainian history, showing the dignity, strength and desire that ordinary Ukrainians stand for despite horrific difficulties.  They went through "Armageddon" to get "Another Chance to Live Again" and finally "Turn Back" to a normal life where there is love, happiness and independence. Through these songs and videos, I am acting as a chronicler, calling on people from all over the world not only to feel the severity of the war, but also to help the Ukrainians get back what belongs to them.  My harmonies are in a polyphonic form where separate vocals alternately hand off or differentiate the melody with a mesmerizing, haunting and calming effect.

TURN BACK 
Honey, where are you going to, turn back you belong with me
There is nothing out there for you, you got everything here

No I don’t think that you can make it by yourself
And I don’t think that you can stay away for long

You gotta come home to me, it is where you are most happy
You gotta come home you’ll see, it is where you ought to be

You are looking for something, I know where you’ll find it
Come on back from where you left from, I am here waiting

Keep me close to your heart, when you’re out there alone
Searching, I know that you find me, right here back at our home

No I don’t think that I can make it by yourself
And I don’t think that I can live here without you

You gotta come home to me, it is where you are most happy
You gotta come home you’ll see, it is where you ought to be

Automatic

Lyrics:

Dear Johnny tell me I’m wrong
but I heard you’re drug slangin’
Pops mad he kicked you out cold
and I can’t blame him at all

Fifteen no sense of direction
walking with a zip in the hallway
Skippin’ school and getting fucked up
I don’t know why you do these things

Dear Johnny
Dear Johnny
I hope you clean things up
Dear Johnny 
Dear Johnny
Oh shit you got suspended again?

Meet me in the bathroom stall
I got uppers I got downers I got poles I got everything
Johnny is my name and I’m fucked
I grew up in the burbs but im juggin’ out the crib like 
Walt

Pour me up a six class
Everybody think I’m lame but they hit me up to cop some drugs
All I ever wanted was love
All I ever wanted was a place to belong

Fast forward now I’m getting searched
I think the pigs don’t dig my swagger man
Mouths ran and I got expelled 
I really thought they had my back 

And that bitch fucked a different plug
All I wanted was a sweet I love you doll
Lil’ Johnny there’s no time for prom
Lil’ Johnny went and got arrested 

Dear Johnny
Dear Johnny
I hope you clean things up
Dear Johnny 
Dear Johnny
Oh so you’re in jail now?

Meet me in the bathroom stall
I got uppers I got downers I got poles I got everything
Johnny is my name and I’m fucked
I grew up in the burbs but im juggin’ out the crib like 
Walt

Pour me up a six class
Everybody think I’m lame but they hit me up to cop some drugs
All I ever wanted was love
All I ever wanted was a place to belong

Dear Johnny tell me I’m wrong
but I heard you’re drug slangin’
Pops mad he kicked you out cold
and I can’t blame him at all

Fifteen no sense of direction
walking with a zip in the hallway
Skippin’ school and getting fucked up
I don’t know why you do these things
