sounds like airy music of the ancients calling to mind cathedrals and battles between competing tribes. nice sample usages and singing!

Great sense of melody and tempo, I really dig this

Gorgeous vocal & track. This is so high. Quality. Wow. I love everything about this. 

pure magic. your music takes me to a wonderful dimension 

Love all of your song’s 🎶🎶✋🏻

I stopped making music after Covid changed my life pretty drastically in a variety of ways. I'm finally starting to feel the groove again. This track was done in Garageband with some loops and sounds and the lyrics are meant to remind myself and anyone else who listens to this song that we're not alone and to stay groovy basically lol - I like putting uplifting reminders in music so that when I get it stuck in my head later it reminds me to stay positive. I didn't have the adaptor for my microphone so I just used my laptop mic to improvise - when your flow dies and you feel it spark up again - don't worry about getting everything perfect - just let yourself find the flow and dive in <3

Lyrics:
Even at home we’ve got the love
We’re not alone so stand on up yeah
Keepin the vibe up can be tough
So take a deep breath and breathe the funk
(x2)
---
Breathe it in!

The gist of the lyrics:
Separation is an illusion. We are all connected by the thread of love that brought us to this plane of existence and are woven into the tapestry of its incomprehensible beauty. Stand up and dance with it all if you want :) Breathe in the good vibes and keep the groove alive <3

This song was inspired by a few different things. The last time I was feeling open enough to come out of my shell a bit and make happy sounding music was a day when the music I was working on started to have a funky flow and I noticed a correlation between my level of happiness and the sound of the music. I began associating funky music with happiness in a way. However, the last day I worked on this happier music, I started going through some really difficult times. I stopped working on music all together for some time and when I returned to it, I mainly used it as a medicine to ease the pain from the trauma I was experiencing. The music allowed me to turn my focus away from the trauma and onto something therapeutic instead. After time passed and I began to feel my soul recollecting itself, I aligned with my amazing partner and fell in love. It wasn't too long after that when the Covid-19 paradigm shift happened. My daughter and I moved to a different state to live with my partner and experienced a few losses and Covid related difficulties, but overall we're happy and I feel happier than I've ever been before and it's starting to come out in the sounds and vibes of the music I work on. My partner listens to a variety of music but I really like the funky stuff he listens to a lot lol and he's always dancing to some song in his head and it's really hard not to smile when I see him doing that - it got me in a happy music mood so I decided to try an electronic funk song.

The lyrics were inspired after listening to Ram Dass while processing the fear and sadness from the Covid-19 shift: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWSWmyWZjs : "Instead of responding to each fear specifically" - "cultivate the other part of yourself that is connected to all things" - so I remembered music and how it has always brought people together and acts as a vessel of connection - and I thought about how we're all connected and how nothing can change that and I wanted to put the reminder alongside some tunes.

Breathe the Funk - 2021

She said the police sketch didn't quite look like him. She said he looked like Ben Gazzara. 


Compost and perfumed by Admiral Krank. Drums by Mo Sheen.

Looked Like Ben Gazzara

Take the lead
Through the wilderness
Through the seas
Fill the deserts full of acacia pine and cedar 
There together for us to consider

I’ll be there
Cypress trees and mountain air
In the place of mourning an oil of full gladness
A beautiful headdress instead of ashes 

Mountains high
Change darkness to light
Show me ways that I cannot see
Paths hidden from sight
Adonai
Coastlands calling
I will keep falling
Under the trees down on my knees
You’re the Highest High 
Adonai

Vipers egg
Spiders weave and spin their web
Still I’ll break fourth into singing
You are watching 
No more weeping
You are coming 

Holy One
Look at what Your hand has done
No we are not forsaken 
You will Strengthen  
Open eyes up
 Lift our faces

Mountains high
Change darkness to light
Show me ways that I cannot see
Paths hidden from sight
Adonai
Coastlands calling
I will keep falling
Under the trees down on my knees 
You’re the Highest High 
Adonai

You’re the Highest High

Highest High

Our Father who art in heaven, 
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come. 
Thy will be done 
On earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread, 
And forgive us our trespasses, 
As we forgive those who trespass against us, 
And lead us not into temptation, 
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, 
Forever and ever.
