Sign Of The Times - Music & Lyrics by REKHA a.k.a REKHA - IYERN [Fe]

Intro Vocal Improv

Oh...Oh-Oh-Oh
Ah-Oh
Oh-No

Come on let's have the talk
The talk about what's good for, for this world
To address how our planet is in a mess
Come on people let's stay united, together
No matter what the weather

Sign of the times go with it
It's the sign of the times got to move with it
Sign of the times be with it
The sign of the times got to flow with it
Flow with it, flow-flow
Go with it
It's the sign of the time got to move with it
The sign of the times go with it
The sign of the time got to flow with it
Groove with it, come on

People. let's hold hands together
It's time to talk, do the talk
Address all the mess we have caused

Oh Yeah-Ee-Yeah
The sign of the times got to go with it
It's the sign of the times move with it
Sign of the times got to groove with it, flow with it

Feel the troubles they're only escalating for the worst
We gotta do something before we burst, combust all around
All around is combustion, pollution, frustration...
Gotta take some action for the good

Oh groove with it
The sign of the times got to move, move with it
It's the sign of the time go with it
The sign of the time come on flow with it, flow with it
Sign of the time, sign of the times
Sign of the time got to move with it
It's the sign of the times got to groove with it
Come on sign of the time got to flow with it, flow with it

We gotta be strong, strong, strong
We gotta hold on, hold on
To hope, to faith, to all what's good
Good for each and everyone of us
Sign, Sign, Sign, Sign
Sign of the times

Very happy for this funky collab with https://soundcloud.com/roger-one based on his open collab https://soundcloud.com/roger-one/all-track

-------------------------
I don't want to sleep
when there's a ton of things I wanna do
I don't need my bed
when there's a rhythm that makes me move

But my tired body
is attracted by gravity
and I will fall asleep

I feel like sleep is a waste
when I'm crazy about the moment
I feel like there's something else to do
going to sleep now will make me blue

But my tired old shell
can't stop rining the warning bell
and I will fall asleep

I want it to last, this moment, always the same
I try to be wise, but I can't, I just want it again

I will fall asleep
oh no, gravitiy is appealing me, is attracting me
I feel like I'm in cotton, bottomless wadding
never reaching the bottom, till I found myself
laying down

Now I deeply sleep
and my body can get the rest it needs
I don't want to wake up
cauze I don't know what things I'll deal today

But my tired body
just want to stay casually
in my happy dreams
yeah my tired body
want to stay comfortably
in my lazy dreams

and the cycle repeats itself
I never want to sleep, I never want to wake up

VERSES:
Been to Venus and Saturn --------now I've returned 
to set the beats on fire ----------so let the fire burn 
this is IPG1 -----------Spark a fire ------first phase-------was the
Beat and the lyrics-----------now here— comes the blaze
When hip-hop went sideways ----------I brought it all back
The styles --------I displayed --------as I put it --------back on track
Don't be afraid ----------------- IPG1 is back
Taking it back...
Verse
Kicking ass with rhythm patterns------- until now-unknown
I'm light years ahead---- like another-time zone 
More than you can handle-----in another-rhyme zone
Thought I was done ----- not till--your minds blown
This is how I do it---------------not being conceited
A cosmic contingency------------mission completed
I rock reality---------------------phonies defeated
Hungry for HipHop--------------automatically repeated
Chorus
Ain't no sense------- in being ----------so damn formal 
I'm incognito--------- so --------------let's rock normal 
this is IPG1------on the inside track
traveling through time ------------taking --hip-hop back
Verse
Check the rhymes---- the style --------and------- the literature 
as the Rhythm evolves ---------you'll see the spirit is pure
I'm going to rock the beats -----------like never before 
And when I'm done -----------you'll be waiting for more
traveling through time ---------could be a blast from the past
present or future-------but built to last
now as the beat hits ----------it knock you out your daze
remember the beat------------- was just first phase 
Riding The beats ---------with a hip-hop groove 
now I'm rocking normal -------------I just can't lose
taking it back...
I Stay alert --------and always at the ready----
don't mean I'm dangerous -----just means I'm deadly------
There'll be casualties---as a matter of fact
Person---ally ----------I can guarantee that
Cause I rock reality---------- phonies-----------defeated
Total calamity---------------------My patience depleted
Empowered by the beat -----------raining down defeat 
so cry me a River ---------------cause I'm here to deliver 
another verse -----------------to make you shiver
Taking it back...
Verse
Ain't no sense------- in being ----------so damn formal 
I'm incognito--------- so --------------let's rock normal 
this is IPG1------on the inside track
traveling through time ------------taking --hip-hop back
thought it was over ------------hell----no ------------------I'm back
Run it through your headphones ----------and add it to that stack
of tracks --------you have --------that hit like crack
then eliminate ---------------------------------all that other crap ------
they had the nerves------------ to calling rap
replay it again -------------Because this jam----- is packed

Burnin' Burner - Riff Beach and Rock Flexible

An instrumental Jazz Fusion (Cinematic Jazz) album featuring compositions by Gregor Theelen - newly arranged with added instrumentation by Peter Heckmann. 

The album mix is intentionally crafted with a distinct "live recording" vibe and not overly polished -  a sonic homage to the contemporary Jazz Fusion style of the late 1970's & 1980's (Weather Report, Stanley Clarke, Pat Metheny, Branford Marsalis etc.)

RiZLiX - A Tale To Tell

Jamie sent me this incredible instrumental track he'd entitled "The Future Is Now" and said "I was wondering if you had time to add something to this?"
 
"OK" I said remembering my Brit Cool just in time. (I was very honoured to be asked and equally knocked out by the track...) I thought about that phrase "The Future Is Now" and how some people seem to be in a rush to cancel the past. As any history student knows; it is not who wins the battle or conducts the pious deed but whose record survives the interim years.

Walking across the countryside one frequently comes across large lakes and reservoirs and hears stories about the submerged villages with a fabled church bell that sometimes still doles out a message from the deep, on occasions or anniversaries of great import. (fromtheedges.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/…nken-bells/)

I do wonder if we deny and bury our past, who will understand the dolorous bells' messages from forgotten landscapes behind our burning bridges or even hear them: We're Building A Dam - It's an anguished cry for help as the very shore we crept out of the sea onto, slips back under the waves already lapping at our feet... and the telling of stories ends of our own doing, as the flood erases true history and our villages disappear under the water...

@jamie-rhind was the lead bell ringer and carillon player 
 @janinelevinson the wondrous mermaid that sings and tends to the sunken bells 
@phil-mcwalter sat on the shrinking shore, listening, playing guitar and singing the old stories with them...
