lyrics:
…From this place…

Put yourself in my mind
Strap yourself for 
For a ride
Ride away

Ride away with me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come away with me

Weaving
Dreams together
Fundamental
Ocean dweller
On the water since I was born
Looking for earth
Solid ground to put my feet on
Babe come with me
We can leave
Leave forever

Its the promise that will never get you better
I HAVE HEARD IT BEFORE!
And i have learned to ignore it!

Because you cannot leave
You are stuck inside
With the things in your mind
So you’ve got to learn to live with them and be happy where
Your at

You find yourself
Feelin like a cat
Stayin inside
For fun
How about that?

But
You can live forever
If you travel far
And see the weather
For what it is
Something cool
To observe the cycles
Travel far
And teach your eyelids how to see
We can do it, you and me
But you’ve got to 
find the right people that don’t tell you that they wanna run away too

You’ve got to leave from where you find yourself
You’ll never leave, it’s true
You’ll only wander somewhere new
With better shoes, perhaps
Or a hat
Or a coat
Or a jacket
Or some wrinkles
Or a habit
Or a cough
Or a dragon behind your back
Keepin tabs on where your at
And how many foods are in your stomach cavity
Your feelin rude
To yourself

You’ve got to be kinder!
And begin to wander
Somewhere cool

Come on
You know it’s bright in front of you

Begin to leave
Lose yourself in the buzz above your head
Funny kind of day
 it takes
Many forms
Above the clouds
Thoughts in
Looking around

Above the clouds so loud
So quiet here
Far and near the things i hear are good
As they should be.

sit and drink a coffee with you
i know you gotta go by two
helpin you move
i dont mind too much
you tell me about your dreams
you cannot remember the best part

sittin on your porch
but you dont smoke

you dont want a toke
you ease my mind
when i feel blue
but girl

im so glad
by your side
run and hide

come with me lets go and see

sit and drink a coffee with you

lyrics:
sunshine, wont ya shade me?
from the rain
that's leaking down
make me so forgetful
but please, just for awhile
could i borrow a smile?
i'll give it back
just as long
as i dont have a heart attack

sunshine wont ya shade me?
from the world thats crumbling down
make me so forgetful
please, just for awhile
could i borrow a smile
i'll give it back
just as long as i dont have a heart attack
in the cool autumn air

sunshine, wont ya shade me?
from the rain thats leaking down
make me so forgetful
please, just for awhile
could i borrow a smile?
i'll give it back
as long as i dont have a heart attack
in the cool
autumn
air

sunshine wont you shade me?(album version)

lyrics:
i met you in the fall
i was so enthralled
spent every waking moment
dreaming about whats next
then came spring
you were far away
i began to learn about the place that i call home

summer
came around
no one was around
you called me
with an urgency

love has funny ways
it doesnt care about you
it comes and goes as it pleases
it leaves an awful brew

ya drink it with your coffee
you take it with your beer
no one can spell it out for you
but you can see it clear

i met you in the fall
i was so enthralled
i liked the way you talked about 
the things that you had seen

one time in your car
i almost fell asleep
muttering about something
you asked me what i keep inside

i met you in the fall
i was so enthralled
spent every waking moment
wondering what comes next

I met you in the fall!

Wailing Souls are standard bearers and among the few active surviving elder statesmen from the birth and the golden era of reggae music. 

With a career spanning more than five decades, from rock steady through reggae to dancehall and beyond, their canon is part of the soundtrack of Jamaica itself. Songs including “Fire House Rock,” “Jah Jah Give Us Life,” “Mr. Fire Coal Man,” and “Shark Attack” mark creative high points in reggae history.
 
With the 2020 release of Back A Yard, produced by Alborosie, the group marks 25 albums in a career that includes three Grammy Award nominations for Best Reggae Album, and a pioneering 1992 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Pipe and Bread’s creative history dates to Jamaica’s rock steady days in a group called The Renegades with George Haye. A number of name changes would take place into the 1970s, while they would first use the name Wailing Souls for a track called “Gold Digger” for producer Lloyd Daley in 1970. At that time, Pipe and Bread were joined by Norman “Fats D” Davis and Oswald “Sabu” Downer. With this lineup, the group also made a series of key recordings for Coxson Dodd’s iconic Studio One label, which included “Mr. Fire Coal Man,” “Back Out,” and “Things & Time.” These recordings either credited Wailing Souls or The Classics.
 
The group’s close association with Bob Marley & The Wailers during this era included singing harmony on Marley’s “Trench Town Rock” and seeing two tracks released on Marley’s Tuff Gong label in 1972, as Pipe & The Pipers.
 
While the Souls have worked with many record labels over the years, including Island, Columbia, and BMG, many associate their greatest recordings with Greensleeves Records and a series of albums including Fire House Rock, Inchpinchers, On The Rocks, and Stranded. During this period, the group was known for its four-part harmonies that included George “Buddy” Haye and Garth Dennis, formerly (and subsequently) of Black Uhuru. They were both in the group from 1976-1985, starting with the update of “Things & Time.”

With Back A Yard, Wailing Souls further solidify their place among Jamaican music’s all-time greats.

Wailing Souls - What Is Your Meaning

true songs, often contemplating sorrowful themes, made for planet earth and whoever feels them
 
folk, hyperpop, all over the place influences in a foggy online, nostalgic and retro kind of way

like a crazy crazy trap beat and some beautiful bells and chimes and stuff and there is a guitar and the most bittersweet poem you ever did hear (type beat)

mostly acoustic guitar and singing with the addition of my production in audacity

i am obsessed with music, it gets better with each passing day!

i hope you can find something you feel and enjoy and pass away some sorrow here, gently, or with reckless abandon

love and light to you

sunshine wont you shade me?(album version)
