stay awhile

- Only me, only me deep inside
- So deep inside of you, only you, only you

You had your pick of all the boys
They all longed to be your choice
There was none you couldn't get
But you chose me instead

I slept inside a beat-up car
With my songs and an old guitar
Where I'd go no one could guess
But you chose me instead

We spent eight summers on the road
Slowed down when our faith grew cold
You can't choose love is all you said
And you chose me instead

Our children saved us in the end
We gained our freedom, lost our friends
Clinging to our promises
You chose me instead

ONLY YOU

Abu abu abu abu oe oe
Abu abu abu abu oe oei
Babies sing, heads a-bobbing
Babies dance, hands a-waving

All the universe is playing
All the people here are singing too

ABU ABU

before i go (fruit fly) FINAL MIX

Parce que win-win, c'est ma religion... Cet EPx3 mélange le français et l’anglais, dans le style hip-hop ragga dub folk indie lo-fi fusion soul que j'adore <3

[Intro]
Yeah, Bananasutra in the loop,
Truth ain’t a weapon, it’s proof.
Kind hearts — we don’t lose, we move.

[Couplet 1]
Il faut être bien malheureux pour blesser juste pour exister,
j’vois des rois sans royaumes qui brûlent leur propre vérité.
Moi j’joue fair, win-win, pas lose-lose,
j’avance propre, même quand la haine pousse.
Peace n’est pas soumission, c’est stratégie divine,
empathy’s the code, pas d’arme, pas d’machine.

[Refrain]
Bananasutra dans la vibe, garde la foi quand le monde s’épuise,
Truth & love, ça brise les murs, ça cicatrise.
Kindness ain’t weakness, it’s holy steel,
you feel me ? That’s the real deal.

[Couplet 2]
Honesty’s bravery, la peur veut qu’tu mens,
mais le cœur droit, c’est la seule arme qu’on comprend.
J’vois des joueurs qui trichent, mais la vie fait l’replay,
karma dub, reverb deep, tu payes ce que t’as joué.
Integrity, no filter, no mask,
Bananasutra ride the truth like a task.

[Bridge]
You can’t fake the peace when the beat drops slow,
justice ain’t revenge, it’s letting the light grow.
We don’t fight to win, we rise to heal,
our softness is strength, our kindness is steel.

[Refrain]
Bananasutra dans la vibe, garde la foi quand le monde s’épuise,
Truth & love, ça brise les murs, ça cicatrise.
Kindness ain’t weakness, it’s holy steel,
you feel me ? That’s the real deal.

[Outro]
Il faut être bien audacieux pour dire vrai dans un monde de bruit,
il faut être bien lumineux pour offrir la paix la nuit.
Bananasutra… spread that light.

JUNE BLUE

	
Inspired by Knut Hamsun's novel Hunger. Narrations are from the beginning and end of the novel.

 "All this happened while I was walking around starving in Christiania--that strange city no one escapes from until it has left its mark on him."

- Christiania, city on the sea
- Christiania, nowhere left for me

Hunger greets me when I wake and holds me thru the day
I bow to strangers in the street and shuffle on my way
If I had a warm room with a window
I'd sit inside and watch the crowds passing down below

I don't need your empty praise or care about your sneers
No one asked me to be born to live under your fears
Sorry if my poverty offends you
I learned more from hunger than ever at school

"When we were out on the fjord, I straightened up, wet from fever and exertion, looked in toward land and said goodbye for now to the city, to Christiania, where the windows of the homes all shone with such brightness."

CHRISTIANIA

Ajnabee

On Sunday, I turned off the news.
Turned off my phone.
And I wrote this song about a lazy Sunday.
But in the back of my mind,
I still knew the world was burning.

instrumental song. guitars, bass, drums, and a synth

the album art is a (fancied up) photo of Battery 223, a ww2 bunker on the beach in  Cape May  NJ . it seemed appropriate for the song

Lazy Sundays at the End of the World

We gonna get to that Winners Circle ya'll.
