-Lyrics-

-Intro-

Chorus: If I could just remember the words I said
I would be alright
If I could just remember the words I said tonight
Then my intentions never would be misread
We wouldn’t have to fight
If I could just remember the words, my love…

Verse 1: But abstract eruptions 
of emotions manifest and congest
my inner vision when I try to recollect.
And my breath is getting heavy, 
I bereave the hidden phrases that just
can’t seem to make their way into the forefront
of my blunt mind. I’m running out of time.
I’ve gotta find my way back
to a linguistic type of tongue that’s in tact.
And in fact, if I’m not on track, 
My rhythmic dialect will disturb
our overture of love and words…

(Chorus)

Bridge: But they always leave me. Why?
Say that you believe me!

Verse 2: It’s like every single time I begin, it’s the end.
No more sentencing. I’m slowly losing touch with what’s within.
My meaning is slipping, I mean there’s no definition,
I’m falling into submission, I black out and fade in.
Now I’m closer to knowing the words I was going for 
then out of nowhere I’m stumbling and muttering
nonsense. Can’t seem to clear my subconscious 
mind, I sound obnoxious, the worst part about it is
you and I falling apart in the dark pit that stirs
all of my forgotten words…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Lyrics:
Only time has pinned us here
pinned inside a physical a physical atmosphere.
You've been underwater from all your fears, 
you've drowned in the air and learned how to breathe again.
Then the minute menotaurs have chased you oh so far
and the labyrinth of lies- you have thought you were so far behind but you are gonna make it through

Under my feet I see the clouds
fight the feeling of looking down.
I heard your call and I'm walking out eye to I,
help me fight the feeling of drowning in my own demise.

Find your way out of the maze, 
I can only see my face below me
just a quickly as I release my identity
I fall into a sea of myself.
I won't let myself drown in self doubt (4x)

"Keep your eyes on me, you will not sink"

Xavier Omär - Blind Man (Prod. by J-Louis)

Benvenuti a LAUS DEO JAZZ, un santuario musicale dove ogni nota trascende il semplice suono e diventa una preghiera sentita. Qui, ogni visuale invita a uno scorcio di bellezza divina. Questa fusione unica di gospel, soul, funk e jazz non solo cattura l'orecchio, ma nutre anche lo spirito, ricordandoci l'eredità profonda di una musica radicata nella fede.

Il Tessuto Storico della Musica Gospel
Nel XVII secolo, gli africani furono forzati ad arrivare in America, affrontando sofferenze immense. Nei campi di tabacco e cotone, furono sottoposti a lavori estenuanti e crudeltà. Da questo dolore emersero gli Spirituals afro-americani — canzoni piene di desiderio di libertà e conforto. Questi spirituals hanno gettato le basi per il Gospel, un genere musicale che continua a risuonare profondamente nella musica moderna.

Il termine "gospel" deriva dall'antico inglese "godspel", che significa "buona notizia". Esso rappresenta la diffusione della parola di Dio attraverso testi sacri e melodie vibranti. Mentre gli spirituals sono folklorici, creati organicamente dalle comunità, i gospel spesso emergono da elementi composti, fondendo tradizione e innovazione.

L'Evoluzione della Speranza e dell’Espressione
Con l'incontro degli schiavi con il cristianesimo, le loro canzoni cominciarono a intrecciare la speranza di una vita migliore e il ritorno alla loro terra natale, tutte sostenute da una profonda fede in Gesù Cristo. Nelle piantagioni, questi primi cristiani trovarono forza e conforto nell'espressione musicale condivisa, diventata parte fondamentale della loro identità.

Il movimento gospel fiorì, unendo insegnamenti cristiani con radici culturali africane. Caratteristiche distintive come la tecnica Call-and-Response — dove il predicatore guida e la congregazione risponde — aggiungono una dinamica ricca alla performance. Inoltre, il ritmo del “Ring Shout”, caratterizzato da battiti di piedi e applausi, esalta lo spirito comunitario del culto. Con il passare del tempo, la musica gospel ha incantato il pubblico non solo in America, ma anche in Europa, riportando gli ascoltatori verso una primordiale unità di musica e spiritualità.

Caratteristiche Chiave della Musica Gospel
LAUS DEO JAZZ abbraccia queste caratteristiche durature, aggiungendo il suo tocco unico. Il formato Call-and-Response rinvigorisce le nostre performance, creando un dialogo coinvolgente tra il solista e l'ensemble. Melodie ripetitive e coinvolgenti, insieme a potenti ritornelli, sono tratti distintivi che rafforzano i messaggi edificanti spesso racchiusi all’interno.

Nostra Missione e Invito
A LAUS DEO JAZZ, crediamo fermamente che non ci sia nulla di più importante dell'Amore, della Pace e di Dio! Ogni esibizione è una celebrazione della fede e un invito a impegnarsi con la spiritualità a un livello più profondo. Miriamo a condividere la buona notizia — che attraverso la musica possiamo connetterci con qualcosa di molto più grande di noi stessi.

Il nostro nome, LAUS DEO, che significa "Lodato sia Dio", racchiude la nostra missione. Ogni nota suonata e ogni lirica cantata testimoniano il nostro impegno a glorificare Dio attraverso la nostra arte. Ispirati dal messaggio di Romani 5,11 — “Noi ci gioiamo in Dio per mezzo del nostro Signore Gesù Cristo” — il nostro canale funge da rifugio sonoro, invitando gli ascoltatori a esplorare e approfondire il proprio percorso spirituale attraverso il potere trasformativo della musica.

Unisciti a noi mentre intraprendiamo questo viaggio dell'anima, celebrando il ricco tessuto del gospel e oltre. Iscriviti al nostro canale e lascia che i ritmi di LAUS DEO JAZZ ti sollevino, ti ispirino e ti invitino a sintonizzarti sul divino!
