And Yet It Moves

"Form by definition is the mode in which a thing exists, acts, or manifests itself. It is the foundation by which all things are perceivable in the physical realm. Our reality takes form as we visualize to manifest it. Once it is visualized it can be created physically. Becoming part in building our exterior existence as a reflection of what we are within; Life, Love, Creation."

LYRICS

Alright yo gimme the mic and need to speak up
I’m so frustrated about the way things turn out
I see fame everywhere, please knock at my door
I see people wasting it, and still asking for more
I’m a kid, and all, but can they do that
When people like me work their ass off day and night
I don’t know I guess I’m just confused
If I had all that fame I would make good use of it
I would talk about real problems
Because people would know my name, and listen to what I’m saying
I know I’ve done some fun lyrics
But at least you guys had fun while listening to it
I know I’ve haven’t seen nothing
That being known is probably just a dream
But if you give me the chance
I’ll prove you that I’m a champ

It goes like one for money, two for the show
I’m more one for the people, two just for y’all
3 for my peeps and 4 for my bros
5 is indeed for the music that I love

When I was born, my head started to move
And since then it still go with the groove
Singing in the shower, too young to be a rapper
I was wondering if one day I’ll meet Lopez Jennifer
My taste did evolve and my friends showed me love
I became confident and started to rap more and more
See what is rap without a good pen?
The shit your favorite radio is usually playing
I remember listening to the BEP
When it was dope fresh ill, now it’s just bad shit
I know I sound like all the haters
But man that shit is real I just wanna make it better
Because I do love rap
But I stay away from all the crap
So if you give me the chance
I’ll prove you that I’m a champ

It goes like one for money, two for the show
I’m more one for the people, two just for y’all
3 for my peeps and 4 for my bros
5 is indeed for the music that I love

I'm so mesmerised by you
walking naked round my living room
you look so beautiful you take a hundred songs
with words I might never lose

and it's true 
like looking through kaleidoscope your presence 
it brings patterns to my room
and it's ture
like looking through a kaleidoscope your presence 
it brings colours to my room

Still hear it louder than ever
still say it when we're together
singing your love 
singing your love 

Happy days in your company 
wasted hours feel like all I need
you are a shining light surrounding my body
willing through the night never cold

and it's true 
like looking through kaleidoscope your presence 
it brings patterns to my room
and it's ture
like looking through a kaleidoscope your presence 
it brings colours to my room

Still hear it louder than ever
still say it when we're together
singing your love 
singing your love 

I've come to know all the ways you move me
I've come to recognise that you're a fool for me 
I've come to know all the ways you move me
I've come to recognise that you're a fool for me 

Still hear it louder than ever
still say it when we're together
singing your love 
singing your love 

Singing your love 
Singing your love
Singing your love 
Singing your love

Singing Your Love

“For Itaru’s Phone Booth, I was listening to a podcast about a man in a small Japanese town called Itaru, who had installed an old English style phone booth on his property as a place he could go and “talk” to deceased loved ones. The town was almost totally ruined by the tsunami & earthquakes that rocked Japan in 2011, and over time the phone booth became a place where people could go to talk to their dead loved ones. Kids told their deceased parents about how they made the soccer team, or they had been diligent with their homework, and at other times adults struggled to communicate complicated feelings to their husbands or wives that were taken away.”

“The story made me reflect on the value of life, what I wished I could’ve said to people who’ve passed away and things that I struggle to bring up with people who are still here. The phone booth was a beautiful poetic image to tie those ideas together.”

Meshell has changed. So has her music. It’s more peaceful, freer. Her new album, Weather, cloaks itself in the colours of autumn, full of in-between shades and hues and with a certain mildness to it. The singer has let her feelings carry her along. Meshell has never been scared of sharing her most intimate thoughts in explicit or colourful terms that always come from the heart. As ever, she is true to herself. But Weather’s folk sensibility and pregnant acoustic melodies make this a supremely accessible album.

“For a long time I was at war with everyone else. I dug my heels in, I fought hard. That’s all over now. I have my opinions, but they’re no longer a source of conflict with the rest of the world.” On Weather Meshell’s usually deep vocals slip into a register more like a whisper, sharing secrets about subjects that are straightforward, almost light-hearted. She has pared down her style to something like pop. “I started to write this album on the guitar and you can hear it. The final atmosphere’s gentler.”

And then the singer agreed without fuss to put her fate in the hands of a producer. Joe Henry (Ani DiFranco, Bettye Lavette, Allen Toussaint, etc.) helped her reveal a different side to herself. And Meshell went along with this. “I’ve known him since the Bitter album; Craig Street introduced us. I hadn’t called on someone from outside for several albums. But contrary to what everyone thinks, I love getting other opinions, hearing a different point of view and allowing myself to be led by someone with strong ideas. It’s a dialogue. This kind of experience really motivates me.” One might well have imagined her bent protectively over her compositions, her own personal, contradictory and profound world. But she says that she wants to continue this experience in future projects with other musicians. She mentions Brian Eno and Lee Scratch Perry.

She worked the way she likes to with Joe Henry - just two or three takes to capture the spontaneity and freshness of the moment. She is accompanied by Chris Bruce (guitar), Deantoni Parks (drums), Keefus Ciancia (keyboards), Gabe Noel (cello) and guests Jay Bellerose (drums) and Benji Hughes (backing vocals). Meshell recently did some producing herself – for jazz singer Laïka Fatien and rising star Selah Sue. Despite the pop-folk sound of Weather, jazz remains a major source of inspiration. “I love jazz musicians. They’re free; they have no fear. I’ve done pop and there are lots of barriers, lots of holding back. You have to stick to the conventions. Jazz musicians embrace uncertainty and adventure, even in their private lives. They’re more open and often more skilled, both in the studio and on stage.”

On Weather, Meshell sings of the ups and downs of love, one of her favourite subjects. Her heroines are marked by the void left by the loved one (“Object”) or else, like a game of mirrors, pour out their heart about the hurt they have caused others. She does a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel”, dedicated to Janis Joplin, an extremely sad and somewhat sexist song, as well as “Don’t Take My Kindness for Weakness” by Soul Children, a sixties soul band, whose message she has made her own. Her own lyrics are always concise, precise or allusive, full of images and poetry (“I want to be your answer”). “They’re like mantras, some phrases cast to the wind, images that pop into my mind. Then I add the music.” She also talks about the wider world on a few tracks. ‘Oysters’ is about “the change that everyone talks about but never comes”. Meshell explains that “Consumerism is gaining ground all the time. We all live to get a new car or a new computer, but what’s the point?” So, join the great world party? “Not for me,” she replies in Dirty World. “I live two hours from New York. I ran away from all the dirt. There’s a farm where I live, and healthy food. I love cooking – it’s not all that different from making music. You need ingredients, and the greatest pleasure is when you share it share it with others.”
