LYRICS 

8 billion people stopped praying today
Planes fell from the sky, fell like rain
Cars went crashing off of the roads
Tsunami waves landed on the coast

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Golden Gate Bridge is in the sea
The angels refused to intervene
The nations armies have gone to war
Those petty thoughts went out the door 

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Please forgive me for my selfish ways 
I know the whole world is falling away
My baby got caught up in this mess 
I didn’t try - didn’t do my best

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Begged the Whole World

I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
Love will always fade
Wars will always rage
And no one is a sage

I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
Faith will always fail
Plagues rain down like hail
And there’s no Holy Grail

I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
Beauty wastes away
A hero’s feet turn to clay
And sunny skies always go gray

I should have learned by now (Yeah, you should have learned by now)
I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
I really should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)

Take a million stories
Spread them ‘cross the land
They may be inspiring
But few will understand
Take a million deep breaths
Watch your life unfold
Never dream of your death
Still you’re growing old

It’s a cruel, dark world 
Hard to find the pearls (You should have learned by now)
I’ve been searching for all my life
Someone please shine me a light

It’s a bitter end (You should have learned by now)
Take comfort in your friends (You should have learned by now)
I’ve been searching for all my days
But I know I can’t be saved

I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)

Shooting Star/シューティングスター

A couple of months ago I had the chance to jam with a couple of friends on guitars at a dinner party. We played a few Stones covers, and the vibe was ok. Then suddenly someone named the Velvet Underground, so I started strumming and singing a classic number we used to perform pretty often when we were young, "I'm Waiting For My Man". I could really feel it, and when I got home I thought it was worth trying to record it. In the past we used to cover the Live 1969 version, but this time I tried to blend it with a couple of other renditions, namely the 1972 Transformer Tour performance and an acoustic demo recorded in 1965. Quite obviously, I ended up adding to this bizarre jumble my own touch. I completed most of the tracking in about a week, but it took me a long time before trying to record vocals. It somehow sounded dull and trivial to my ears, so I had lost interest in finishing the song. Then a couple of weeks ago I felt inspired and I did the vocals. I also added an organ and a Cretan lyra parts, to make the ending section sound a bit more exciting.
Hope you'll enjoy this studio jam, I think it sounds quite unusual if compared to the rest of my stuff, but at the end of the day it's not so bad to listen to.

In this fictional story, Madlyn, "the little girl dressed in blue" from the track, Climb Up the Ladder is missed by her dad. We've gotten a number of condolence messages. I guess we did a good job on this track!

You Found the underground baby this is where We get down 
turn me up——
Here’s the countdown I-P-G -one 

*love the hip-hop harmony that sound on sound 
can’t go wrong there’s more inbound 
got to stay strong totally spellbound 
focus on the music call it Lou’s Motown 
come on take a ride like a merry go round 
anytime you want to just sing along 
if you want to hang well let’s just get down 
never stationary come on follow me 
tracks getting lit like a Christmas tree 
A pure visionary holding all the keys 
perfect fit tight melodies 
ride the beat like the deep blue sea￼

This tracks a beast but honestly 
planned and release how can it be 
a new anthem for independent artistry 
made for my people you know who you be 
I’m making my own path call the trailblazer 
styles and technique just simply amazing￼ 
The games been changing nothings the same 
let’s discuss it as I rocket (rock it) precision with the aim 
like a guided missile at the top of my game
remember the name the reason that I came 
level one up on the up and up pure hip-hop 
going nonstop around the clock 
like I make it tick-tock 
hitting with five senses right on the spot 
future past or present tense 
or whatever you’ve got 
paint a perfect picture again why not￼￼

It don’t matter if it’s fast or slow 
wherever I go to rock the tempo
I keep the heat flowing like a volcano 
let the beat move you￼ come on let’s go 
still the illest on the playlist 
what prompt me to say this 
Underground not industry I can’t afford to be modest 
to my haters I’m a death wish 
for a Fam I’mer blessed this
one time limitless mission accomplished￼

*repeated
