DENVER 
WATCHING 
CLOUDS 
CHANGE 
SEASONS

“Who woulda thought the ground would shake for a little escape / The 1980s had New York the 90s had L.A., now it’s Denver they say / New Amsterdam of the day / The ghanja tax tell only half the game we play…” – Molina Speaks

2014: Denver feels like a never-ending-construction-project-becoming-big-city. The old days of zipping around without a hassle are over. Hipsters have a new haven, developers gentrify every corner, and the city has the world talking about legalizing Marijuana. Everyday Denver is not a history of Denver. It is an artist’s snapshot of all the buzz: the hype, the blues, the growth, the change. Nodding at the up-and-coming image of Denver, embracing the fast pace and the daily grind, speaking to the back stories, Molina offers a soundtrack to a city reaching for its identity.

Mikey Fresh provides the beats. Master trumpeter Randy Runyan lays down solos on every track. DJ Icewater mixes and masters the album. Every Day Denver Watching Clouds Change Seasons.

May you find the courage necessary to get through your struggles. May this song help you find your way, whatever you may be going through. Making music has often been the road map back to my mental and spiritual health. I made this song to get through some heartbreaking times, and also for my peoples who need a lift up.
