Reggae Vibes and Message from Jah

From the Album "Punk Funk You"
Distribution On The Way

Punk Punk Punk

Funky Night

It was 1995, I had already acquired my trusty Alesis SR-16 "Dr No" but not hooked it up in stereo yet on my 4-track cassette recorder.

This track is one of the more fun I made in those days, thought I'd share it here. For the occasion, I properly mixed and mastered it in such a way to keep it's original character intact as much as possible. I did put *some* fancy effect to stereoize the vocals a little, and there is a subtle stereo reverb on the drums.. Things like that, but that's just to make it palatable for the modern crowd. This is after all an original recording, no edits, no overdubs.

Thinking about putting an entire 'legacies' album together. Would anyone be interested in that?

The very mature lyrics:

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked, broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

But I don't bear much pain
I'm not gonna jump no train
Every single hour every single day
Guess life is just a game

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them youth rebel rabble rebel rabble
Well I know better but you won't hear me tell
Everyone lives his own little hell
Let them turn around in their own smell
I let them feel bad if they let me feel well
It be alright with me

I know I only live to be
I know this is all you can see
I live to be just like the trees
And the flowers and the bees

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them you rebel rabble rebel rabble
Let live through their own hell
Let them live with their own smell

Salvation

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

Some say salvation
Everyone, everyone...
Rebel rabble rebel rabble
Loser! Loser!

Breakfast at noon

Sprinkling the breakfast
with bubbles, sparklingly fresh.
Bread & butter & what not,
am I coldreading you,
Or loosing the plot?
Baking bread, grinding beans,
slowly rising
From confusing dreams
Don't squeeze that orange
  all over the place!

Breakfast at noon
(Cereals, Continental, Vegan toast)

Pretty soon
we will be back in the room
but now's the moment
to chase away the gloom

Tea, my dear?
There is still time
For now and all tomorrows
This should be the line
That we don't want to cross
before breakfast is done.

Making bread, taking time

Gotta get back
to the breakfast
as soon as I can!

Zoom ba be day bye doom dai
dum a dum da boobe di bay

[CONCEPT]
I’ve been wanting to write a song to support people who are suffering from bullying, being ignored or any friction between relationships. It's a pity to hear the news about people ending their life by themselves in despair, especially if they were kids. If it was nearly impossible to find security at work, school or home, it could be likely for anyone to feel living is nothing, but torture and meaningless. You don't have to be controlled the way you live by someone else. Let’s find a place to feel secure and know that running away doesn’t mean becoming a loser. Living your own life is a series of amazing moments.

[LYRICS]
You don't have to take it too hard
Let's find a place where you can ease yourself
No one has the right to control you
You can live the way you like

There is no reason to take punishment
You don't have to take it at all
No one has the right to punish you
You can run away for yourself

If there is somebody who tells you 
What you do is totally wrong
Don’t mind them
Don’t let them play a big role 

‘Cause it’s your life!
Just focus on what you like
There is no need to stick to one place
Turn around
You'll see this planet is full of love

You don't have to hold back the tears
Let it shed like a waterfall
Remember, there's a shoulder to cry on
Yes, there is
You can live the way you like

If there is somebody who tells you 
What to do and what not to do
Don’t mind them
Don’t let them play a big role

‘Cause it’s your life!
Just focus on what you like
Don't be a part of their stupid game
It’s your life!
Just focus on what you like
There is no need to stick to one place
Turn around
You'll see this planet is full of love

You don't have to take it too hard
Let's find a place where you can ease yourself
No one has the right to punish you
Don’t forget about this
And just remember
You can live the way you like 
‘Cause it's your precious life!

This is a song about mature resignation in the face of human indifference and natural elements you can do nothing about.

My thanks to Chris Curtis for his harmonies, and to Sergio Aguilar of 423 Studios, for the supremely judged production and instrumental ability he brings to every song we have recorded!

"I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving."
- Brandon Jay McLaren

"I eat out three times a day most days of the year. This is no big deal to most (city dwellers), and it is not something I am necessarily proud of - it's simply the nature of my itinerant life."
- Ben Elliot

Lyrics
Winter in the city of Vancouver
It’s brutal if you don’t have some steady pay
And any working hours you’ve gained
Don’t help to ease the pain
Of living on the edge day after day

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Hail and sleet are flaying me alive
Cos the ragged clothes I wear
Let in more than I can bear
It’s an endless daily struggle to survive

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
I’m seeking work to get me through to summer
If the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Coyotes snapping at my heels as I walk through Stanley Park
I sure don’t care to find out if their bite is worse than their bark!
My coffee’s cold in my two-year-old disposable Starbucks cup
I fear my hopes are so far down there’s no way to pull them up!

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Christmas snow, the first in many years
As I tramp through dirty slush
My face a cold, red flush
I brush away my bitter icy tears

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
If I knock upon your door, give me whatever chore
And if the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
Boss man says "Just a day, then on your way, son"
But at least I get some dollars in my hand

Winter in the city of Vancouver
A city that I love and love to hate
I’m looking for some heat,
And something good to eat
Nothing more, for now at any rate

Winter In The City Of Vancouver (ft. Chris Curtis) 5 Stars Commended rating, UKSC, 2022

Each day has its up and downs. On top of that you have people telling you what to do, when to do it and how to do it. This song reflects on the way these people social engineer while using pathocratic influence to persuade others through persuasion, lies, deciet and guile. This is ever present in the modern social media platforms and news outlets. These people create clouds that block out the sun. It feels as though hearts are torn out as they push you to the ground. What is there to believe in? What is right and wrong? If these clouds are blown away, there is likely going to be beautiful day.

One thousand miles from Texas

Beautiful day

Beautiful Day

A bit of positivity and optimism in a brutal and cruel world.

when our world turns mad
hitted by fanatics' delusions
when life plays its bad tricks , the bad days
i remain always positive
a genuine optimistic
an incurable optimistic

we all become blind and  deaf 
by dint of living as selfish
when they ask me if i'm "for or against"
i try to remain positive
a dreadful optimistic
an unreasonable optimistic
an incomparable optimistic
an unforgivable optimistic

Optimiste (Translated in English in description)

Halloumi with apricots
On a pumpernickel slice
You can find one in the sandwich bar 
At the entrance to the park 

There’s nothing more to wish for
You don’t go that far
There’s a bench outside to sit on
At the entrance to the park

A little finch moves up an inch 
To join you on the bench
He’ll never let you dine alone
There’s always two for lunch

There’s nothing more to wish for
You don’t need to fly yo Mars
There’s a bench outside the sandwich bar
At the entrance to the park

Engagement Day - Music by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Live Synth Improv JAM | Electro Medieval Dance Pop

The engagement is on! A continuation piece following A Royal Affair here: 

https://soundcloud.com/rekha-iyern-fe/a-royal-affair-by-rekha-iyern-fe-live-synth-instrumental! 

Hope you all enjoy this celebratory dance track to rejoice with the royal couple's decision to move on forward with the matters of, affectionately yours! The green light shines brightly for them and all ties-related, to tie the marriage knot yes, it's the big yes everyone has been eagerly awaiting! But first the engagement is on followed by the actual wedding day, a marriage made in the cosmic heavens. A life-time of togetherness is on it's way! How massively exciting is that? The reigning royal couple dazzles all who have eyes on them! The noble king and queen are ready to rule their kingdom, their people, to set the big bright future!

I simply wanted to give off an impression that if one were to travel to another space and time dimension, one might see this Queen along with other foreign space beings..however, what makes them unique, is that they can morph according to your fantasty-out-of-this-world-like-infinite-desires...Of course they do come to life just to please you with a dance or simply a fine vision...in some cases, they can even make you feel!

A message from JAH

Forgiveness Dub

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
