"The idea behind 'Hearing Is Seeing' was to take a complex Music Theory device, like serial tonal structures, and make it feel more approachable. 

Along with that, the song was inspired by the idea of synesthesia (the phenomena of seeing sounds), in a few different ways. It’s a nod to the feeling of gaining wisdom, insight, and understanding from being open and listening deeply – but also, to seeing things first and hearing them second. 

Taking a more literal approach to the latter in this case, the harmonic structures that form the base of the song were designed to look aesthetically pleasing on paper. For example, in the chorus, the tonal centers for the chords are spiraling notes circling inward, and then the “B" sections of the song make use of symmetrical modes. 

But, perhaps more importantly – both the top-line and the groove of the track are there to glue it all together – to remind us to not get too caught up in all of the technical stuff that's under the hood here, and to instead just feel it."

Reginald Chapman "Hearing Is Seeing"

yesterday (dakotacarley.sp404mix)

These songs were all inspired by the Film KIDS (1995. This music is an interpretation of the film that extracts moments from the movie's original story line and fuses them with our own personal accounts with/being teenagers in a large metropolis.

Kids is a 1995 American drama film written by Harmony Korine and directed by Larry Clark.[4] It features Chloë Sevigny, Leo Fitzpatrick, Justin Pierce, and Rosario Dawson, all in their film debuts.

lyrics:

Sharp plastic
Nicked trying to open up the package 
It's smart to practice
Do the studies
What's the hurry youngin?
Broken glass
On the floor is a hazard 
Even the plastic was sharp 
That's the way they had it manufactured
Curious as George 
 But won't catch me with no monkey suits on 
Jumanji flashbacks
Those times are long gone 
Apple got me feeling like I'm 
 inspector gadget 
Arms can stretch long in case of 
Emergencies
Where's your sense of urgency 
Connected through the Internet
Wifi for the whippersnappers
Twitter for chatterboxes 
Thank god they got limits on characters 
 During my time 
 we had landlines and dial up
A pair of cups on a string  
was instant messaging 
The phone was a rotary 
You had to Wined it up 
no three dots
 waiting in the chat box 
Why shadowbox 
when you could spar with me ?
I never spared a soul
Even more so 
The ones I love
They don't get treated special 
A man is measured by the things he does
And things he's been through 
Only God can judge me 
God threw the stone how could it even miss you 
Having faith wasn't even an issue 
I'm getting tired of the current climate 
we need change
No wonder we let climate change 
Happen to the environment  
Gut the fish pull out some plastic 
now that's part of their diet 
It's a shame how weakness 
Got associated with kindness
Lame ducks want the fame 
They all fly the same 
I hear the birds can sense the rains coming
They don't even have to Sing nothing 
It's their silence that gives it away 
you do not need words to communicate 
That's the truth behind this 
I don't even have to say 
What's a god if you don't need to pray?
Life means nothing  if you can't perceive it 
I can put you to sleep physically with the right application of squeeze to your arteries 
I'll have you counting the sheep  
Jumping like it be 
Money for cheap 
Get more bang for your buck when I speak 
I reject the very notion of peaks
There's always other higher levels achieved 
What's enlightenment to 
Infinite sets of degrees? 
Just another swimming fish in the sea 
There's so many 
I love them all uniquely 
In every way shape and form deeply 
How could anyone reduce the shine 
The light gets  brighter with each any 
Every rhyme scheme still 
plastic won't degrade
It stay around for incalculable days 
And never goes away 
It makes whales 
Wash up on the beach 
Most the Sharks have nothing else to eat 
They say the earth will be left to the meek
But really plastic is all there'll ever be 
They'd rather follow then steady take the lead 
There's plenty uncharted territories to see
But now there's plastic scattered over the sea 
They say all matter's the same and that 
Everything will change but 
All This plastic really wants to stay 
Plain and simplewhen you die 
you can't take nothing with you 
Only oil byproducts will remain 
No one will save you 
And no will miss you
Your kids kids will 
Never forgive you 
Look how we left this 
Planet in our wake 
Since the day the first plastic was made 
It's never been the same
Still people smoke packs 
Of cigarettes on the daily
And use the microwave
To heat up plates
There's not much more
That we can all take
This wasn't built for sustain 
Us ,It was just easy weight 
Someones gonna pay for this 
That's always been the way 
No ones skating scot-free 
Kids got moxie 
Until they learn properly 
Half life's and 
Elemental decay
We've been so neglectful 
No silverware 
just disposable utensils 
Sharp plastic cut me deep
Like it was made of metal ...

Lyrics:
Food stamps on a card never got me too far
Pay Some bills buy some weed and fix the car
Saving Nil I can not see when its gon start
Praying till I can not feel i need that spark
I need a liter of water catch my breath
I preach the dreamer never accepting anything less 
I bleed for the Man
And I reap no reward
And I can't sleep for shit
Cuz these problems I can't ignore

I ask you pray for me x2
if they coming for me baby save a space for me
if they get me just make sure you say the grace for me
if I make it then Ill leave without a trace on me
I ask you pray for me x2
Im about to be like tay-k with a chase on me
I know the taxes coming back I cannot wait on it
Yall goin slow im moving fast so match my pace for me

You got that play money
you looking fake money
id feel sorry for you but
i just go and make money
Id let you take a piece but all this bread just break funny
you think you hard but you just looking like a plate homie
you looking for a handout cant get a face from me
you looking for the top spot then set yo aim on me
you hit a lick you got a band fuck what you saying homie
you aint gotta lie to kick it so sit in shame homie

you cannot blame nobody b you gon and did it to yourself
picking up the pieces reaching for the top and then u fell
u tellem pray for me pray for me boy you need some help
you gotta stay hungry stay hungry till u hit that swell
x2

I ask you pray for me x2
if they coming for me baby save a space for me
if they get me just make sure you say the grace for me
if I make it then Ill leave without a trace on me
I ask you pray for me x2
Im about to be like tay-k with a chase on me
I know the taxes coming back I cannot wait on it
Yall goin slow im moving fast so match my pace for me
