Lyrics:

I don't mean it all that much 
It's just a way to vent some shit I got 
Must get noticed, must be dark 
Feedback looping on my bleeding heart 
Any issue, any cause 
I've got wisdom to impart 
Each position, every arc 
Got this biling down to an art 

Guessing this is all they got 
All cos the world's so numbing 
Bless ‘em, this is all they got 
All just to feel something 

Everything's fucked because 
We've all but forgotten love 
Everyone's up in arms 
Cos hate feels like eiderdown 
Everything's fucked because 
We all just forgot to love 
Everyone's up in arms 
Cos hate feels like eiderdown 

Yeah, all that venom from the start 
It's everyone else that's in the wrong, because 
No one here to see my charm 
No one respects the nothing I've become 
All that crimson, those thumbs up 
Notify me at whatever cost 
Any number at the top, 
Won't you please anonymously spit back, it's all I've got 

Guessing this is all they got 
All cos the world's so numbing 
Bless ‘em, this is all they got 
All just to feel something 

Everything's fucked because 
We've all but forgotten love 
Everyone's up in arms 
Cos hate feels like eiderdown 
Everything's fucked because 
We all just forgot to love 
Everyone's up in arms 
Cos hate feels like eiderdown

Silly Ass

Electric Wire Hustle's sophomore album : Love Can Prevail.

“Electric Wire Hustle, a duo from New Zealand, plunges Marvin Gaye’s pensive side into the 21st-century information wilderness. Its songs are descendants of “What’s Going On”.
*NewYorkTimes*

Look In The Sky

Track #4 from my protest album/EP entitled, The Mourning After, in tribute to the fallen men, women, and children of color who were murdered by a racist regime of evil police officers who never deserved to wear the badge, let alone handle a gun. It is not happenstance, not "fearing for their life", and certainly not justice when the vast majority of the murderers in blue are let off with little to no punishment at all.

I had to release my rage into the healing power of music, and it was this remake of Duke Pearson & Donald Byrd's "Cristo Redentor" that I felt was an appropriate song of mourning to express my deep sadness and anger at the systemic racism that was designed to bring about what few are calling (but is accurately) a genocide.

Anyway, I enlisted the talents of Jill Scott/Bootsy Collin tour trumpeter, Farnell Newton (@fnbeatsgalore), to cover Donald's iconic solo, but in his style and voicing, to express this sadness and melancholy through music. Yes, it comes out smooth and lounge jazzy, but it begins with a gunshot just to let you know that this is anything but relaxed and chill...more so a soulful way of saying goodbye while also preparing for the fight ahead for freedom, justice, and equality amongst ALL people...but if Black Lives Don't Matter in that equation...then ALL LIVES TRULY DON'T!
