This song is dedicated to all the beautiful  mothers.


Beautiful is your name 
Wonderful is what you are to me
It's you I see in my dreams
Everyday and I pray for you 
Queen of my life
You are so beautiful
Mama
So beautiful

Talo ri yeye yen? - Who has seen that mother? 
Mama mi o roju ri - My mother was never hesitant 
That is why I'm loving you

O jiya n'ile oko - She suffered in her matrimonial home
Mama mi o roju ri

La la la la la 

E bami kira fun mama mi - Please hail my mother 
Orisha bi iya o kosi laye - There's no idol like a mother in this world. 
La la la la la

Woman 
There is no one like you 
Nitori omo 
O jiya nile oko 
Mama mi o roju ri 
That is why I'm loving you....

Yeye ni wura - Mother is gold 
Baba ni jigi - Father is a mirror.

Darkhaast Cover by Asa Singh | SHIVAAY | Arijit & Sunidhi |

A masterly locked-room mystery set in a near-future Orwellian state &#160; The year is 2037. The Soviet Union never fell, and much of Europe has been consolidated under the totalitarian Union of Friendship.&#160;On the tiny island of Isola, seven people have been selected to compete in a forty-eight-hour test for a top-secret intelligence position. One of them is Anna Francis, a workaholic bureaucrat with a nine-year-old daughter she rarely sees and a secret that haunts her. Her&#160;assignment: to stage her own death and then to observe, from her hiding place inside the walls of the house, how the six other candidates react to the news that a murderer is among them. Who will take control? Who will crack under pressure? But then a storm rolls in, the power goes out, and the real game begins. . . . &#160; Combining suspense, unexpected twists, psychological gamesmanship, and a sinister dystopian future, The Dying Game conjures a world in which one woman is forced to ask, &ldquo;Can I save my life by staging my death?&rdquo; Available for purchase at: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXDPQ3F?tag=randohouseinc7911-20">Amazon</a><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/2665379/type/dlg/sid/PRHD39095A662--9781524705640/http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781524705640 ">Barnes & Noble</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-10876509?SID=PRHD39095A662--9781524705640&url=http://www.booksamillion.com/search?query=9781524705640&where=eBooks">Books A Million</a><a href="http://www.hudsonbooksellers.com/book/9780143131793?utm_source=prh&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_term=301&utm_content=PRHD39095A662--9780143131793&utm_campaign=9780143131793">Hudson Booksellers</a><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780143131793?aff=PenguinGroupUS">IndieBound</a><a href="http://www.powells.com/book/-9780143131793?utm_source=randomhouse&utm_campaign=randomhouse&utm_content=PRHD39095A662--9780143131793">Powell's</a><a href="http://goto.target.com/c/128773/81938/2092?subId1=PRHD39095A662--9780143131793&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fs%3FsearchTerm%3D9780143131793">Target</a><a href="http://linksynergy.walmart.com/fs-bin/click?id=VD9*lkiWNd8&subid=0&offerid=183959.1&type=10&tmpid=273&u1=PRHD39095A662--9780143131793&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-ng.do%3F&RD_PARM2=search_query%3D9780143131793%2526ic%3D16_0%2526Find%3DFind%2526search_constraint%3D3920">Walmart</a><a href="https://google.prf.hn/click/camref:1011ld4r/pubref:PRHD39095A662--9781524705640/destination:https://play.google.com/store/search?q=9781524705640&c=books">Google Play Store</a><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1173742639?at=11l3IH&ct=PRHD39095A662--9781524705640">iBooks</a><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/link?id=VD9*lkiWNd8&offerid=258185.12829781935712206&type=2&u1=PRHD39095A662--9781524705640}&murl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobo.com%2Fsearch%3FQuery%3D9781524705640">Kobo</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?url=http://www.audible.com/search?advsearchKeywords=The+Dying+Game+Asa+Avdic&source_code=COMA0213WS031709&SID=PRHD39095A662--9780525493150">Audible - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-11117375?SID=PRHD39095A662--9780525493150&url=http://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/9780525493150">audiobooks.com - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=9780525493150">downpour - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?SID=PRHD39095A662--9780525493150&url=http://www.emusic.com/listen/#/search/book/The+Dying+Game">eMusic - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a>

Original track Bloodshot Embers appeared on Strange Tongue.
https://notebooknoise.bandcamp.com/album/strange-tongue

This year I heard an album called Bone Music by The Last Artful Dodgr. It was produced by Neill Von Tally.  I was blown away by the production and overall chilling vibe of the album.  It was front to back emotion.  I had to reach out to Neill and inquired about working on a potential remix.  He couldn't have been more professional and easy to work with.  

His take on Bloodshot Embers is all about that bass.  I hope your speakers hit like mine.

In the second verse I say the word Gza which refers to Gza/Genius from Wu-Tang Clan. So to simplify I'm saying it doesn't take a genius.

lyrics

I never really cared that she dated other dudes 
So how she gonna bitch that I’m picky with my foods 
I left her alone on all her imperfections 
But still she came back with her interjections 
Uh you’re so short, don’t you ever eat 
Did you get a job? What’s that on your feet? 
Are those fat laces? Did those come with the shoes? 
What were you thinking, when you got those tattoos? 

Bloodshot embers weakening to ashes 
Often I sat there, lost in those lashes 

I’m not too concerned with your thoughts on my physique 
Or if my clothes make me the wrong kind of unique 
You forgot to bitch about these songs I make 
So confused between the real and fake 
You know why I can’t work thanks for the low blow 
It doesn’t take a Gza to see this wont grow 
Lets let the last of these ashes float into the air 
And you can close your eyes and watch me disappear

Bloodshot Embers - Neill Von Tally Remix

Notebook Noise cashed in on the iconic artwork of 2012’s release Strange Tongue that featured front man Thaddeus James riding the neck of a giraffe. He used the momentum from music blog posts and released Strange Tongue's acapellas and instrumentals as: The Giraffter Party Acapellas & Instrumentals. The online response from producers remixing the acapellas was far greater than Thaddeus could’ve ever anticipated. Remixes have been coming in from all over the planet on a regular basis. A solid representation of this response can be seen on the final installment of the Strange Tongue trilogy: Giraffter Hours. Graphic artist Joe Sampson did an amazing job on all three album covers. And of course the trilogy is free and features production from John Gray aka Johnny Cosmic 

Thaddeus James has also released #PhenomenalCake. It’s not quite an album, but bigger than an EP and in the style of a mixtape. Instrumentals for the project were selected from Soundcloud and Bandcamp. #PhenomenalCake features a two track intro by Burt The Turtle. He raps into a tin can and loves a turtle named Ruby. The remaining 7 tracks play out like a soundtrack to a party at the turtle's lake house. When Thaddeus wasn’t writing as a turtle or rapping as himself about cake, he was also rapping about breast milk and being too old to yolo. Long time collaborator Asa Phelps continues to send instrumentals and Thaddeus is writing as quickly as Asa is sending them. The collection of tracks between the two will be released under the title Shits Creek. Expect to hear the introspective, soul-searching rhymes you’ve grown to love from Notebook Noise. Thaddeus has also teamed up with Polish based record label Awesome Music Place to put out an EP and has worked as a writer for the label as well penning a song for Kaja Czulewicz.  There is also a new project in the works between Thaddeus James and Vin Rizzo aka Rizzly Bear on production. 

The group has come a long way from Snares, Hooks and RhymeBooks, the debut that landed them on URB’s Next 1000 list back in 2008. The guys followed that up with 2009’s Debonair Wit, which earned them ‘leak of the week’ accolades from ThePier.org for the song “The Art of Throwing ft. Knowledgeborn07”. In February 2010 Notebook Noise started officially playing live and by October they had landed on WGN for a morning spot promoting the event Fashion Mash that took place at Double Door and Flat Iron Art Institute. With the release of 2012’s Strange Tongue; Notebook Noise was featured on several music blogs and even some food blogs for the daddy/daughter duet Cookies ft. LULUTRON.  Releasing the acapellas has even gotten Thaddeus’ vocals mashed up with Polish emcees and an emcee from Japan and many others. You can even catch some kids from the UK skateboarding on youtube to NN instrumentals. Here’s to the future.
