Why Me?

Why Me

Orange Crush

“Sunsets & Summertime” is a feel-good roots rock celebration of everything we love about the season: grilling out, road trips, mountain views, lazy mornings, and the joy of being with the people who matter most. Released just in time for the summer solstice, the track blends classic Americana grooves with brass-laced warmth and heartfelt vocals to create a breezy, nostalgic mood.

With a solid rhythm section laid down by Mike Lomax (drums) and Wim Becker (bass/guitars), the song is brought to life by a vibrant horn trio — Matt Allen (trumpet), Zach Craigle (saxophone), and Kevin Tall (trombone) — adding soulful punch and a touch of vintage charm. Zak Davis' vocals are earnest and comforting, grounding the track in both emotional sincerity and laid-back cool.

Whether you’re on the back porch with friends or setting out on a weekend getaway, “Sunsets & Summertime” captures that timeless seasonal magic — equal parts road trip playlist, backyard soundtrack, and love letter to long days and golden evenings.

Lyrics:
Been stuck inside all winter long
But now the birds are singing
On a Saturday morning
And the heat beats like a drum

Can’t wait to fire up that grill
With the beer on ice
The shade feels nice
For some summertime chill

Pack up your bags we going to hit the road
Check out a town we never been before
We could ask the locals what they like to do
Or stay in bed and sleep all afternoon

-Chorus-
Your loving’s like the summertime
As long as I got you, I’ll be just fine
Sunsets & Summertime
Like you It’s always on my mind

Let’s hike up to the mountain tops
Stare at the stars when the skyline drops
Friends and family gather at the camp
The fire lights our memories like the perfect lamp

-Chorus-
Your loving’s like the summertime
As long as I got you, I’ll be just fine
Sunsets & Summertime
Like you It’s always on my mind

Lyrics:

Just across the way
Where the train goes
Late night
It carries dreams
Into the steam
And then they take flight
An iron horse, her iron ores’ll lay the cars low
The embers bright, they echo flies behind the jars glow
I had a sense I’d been misplaced
Set adrift, led astray
I didn’t know which way to go

I was lost when you found me
Lost when you found me
Runnin’ through the wild
All the while in a sound sleep
But just then I heard a whisper in the wood
I cannot lie I would’ve kissed her if I could
I gotta be smart
Cut my loss and restart
Keep guard
I heard you had a weak heart
I heard you had a weak heart

Out beyond the break
Beneath the waves
In the deep blue
Down below
The indigo begins to bleed through
I heard a voice beyond the noise that poisons dry land
There in the fold the dark and cold were holding my hand
I had the sense I’d been embraced
Taken home, shown the way
Oh, what a sight for weary eyes

[LYRICS BELOW] The Movement new album WAYS OF THE WORLD out now! Produced by Johnny Cosmic.

http://themovementvibe.com  
Released: June 7, 2019
 #MvmtVibe #WaysOfTheWorld

LYRICS:
Some people they live their whole lives in a compound
They couldn't find any other way out now
And then they came out of it like it was so easy
They turned from a flower into a strong tree yeah
 
So I ask you not to shed a tear
If you get scared you know I'll be here
I will always love you, I keep you in my heart
I will always be there to lead you through the dark yeah

We will always walk together hand in hand
Lead you through the forest and the desert in the sand
We're among the greatest things that grow upon this land
I'll be here to teach you and to help you understand, so

When the sun is getting low
Look at how the Redwoods grow
You forgot but now you know
Just look at how the Redwoods grow yeah

You know we all got to fall sometimes
Pick ourselves up off the ground and learn how to rise
It’s like I’ve been down so long that I just might
Stay here for awhile while I clear my mind

So you can cut my leaves
But you can’t kill my roots
And you can twist my words
But you can’t stop the truth

Because it’s imminent
Tell me are you listening
Universe is speaking to you
We are just the instruments

When the sun is getting low
Look at how the Redwoods grow
You forgot but now you know
Just look at how the Redwoods grow yeah

Look at the reason 
Everyone's sleepin, ain't got nothin to believe in
Dreams are T.V.
They can't see the changing of the seasons
Life is a breeze
And somebody else is just fighting to ****ing be breathing
Rule of treason
Seems we're always dealing with some heathen

But we will rise
We will make it to the top
If we're clever
They can never make it stop
Plant the seed, we are free
Break the lock
And walk the walk
Never just talk the talk, everybody…

When the sun is getting low
Look at how the Redwoods grow
You forgot but now you know
Just look at how the Redwoods grow yeah

Get "Outer Space" here: https://ffm.to/outer_space

Lyrics:
Send me off into outer space
I’ve been here too long
Time to leave this place
And I don’t mind 
If I fly too close to the sun
Cuz I’ve just begun
Take my spirit for a lift
I’ve been stuck in this eclipse
Of the body and the soul
I’ve been so out of control
And I don’t see what’s left for me
In this galaxy 
So I’m going home
Into the unknown

So send my love to that third planet from the sun
I will always love the place where I come from
But now I’m free
Floating through the galaxies
I found something to believe in after all

Take the songs that I wrote
I don’t need them where I’m going
The aliens make sense to me
Communicate telepathically 
They accept me for who I am
Even though I’m just a man
We just laugh and spend the days
On our planet far away

We sit and watch the world go crazy
Beneath the atmosphere so hazy
Wonder when did we go wrong?
All the wars and all the bombs
And the weapons of destruction
Atomic nuclear eruptions
Are so senseless from this perspective
We forgot we’re all connected

[Lyrics]
Oh, restless spirit
Oh, does it got you too?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, the dark side of blue
City sleepwalk
We live in crazy times
Demons take the kingdom
And the angels cry
Bleeding heart racing
Keep on asking why
Can we not change?    
Where is a peace of mind?
Lost souls say
That’s just the way it goes
Wise one says
Awaken and take control
A human seeking genuine healing
Being one with the feeling
 
Calm my soul
And awaken my heart
Calm my soul
And awaken my heart
 
Oh, stay lifted
Oh, wide awake
Oh, eyes open
Oh, every tear drop is a heartbreak


When I wake up in the morning time I gotta ease my mind
And then I realize that the sun still shines
And I give u all I got
Give u all my love
The only thing that's real under the stars above
I keep on dreaming and I keep on wishing
I really need to see your vision
I keep on seeking and I keep on listening
Eventually I see what's missing
Yeah I know it's still nothing if I keep on doing nothing
Something if I act and back it up with loving
Faith without works is dead
We're not above it
Covet it and feel your life blood a runneth over
A little excess or sober
Expect not, then u stress less
A wonder
Under a bridge or swimming in your plunder
You can be a light giving shimmer
The one to love
Every creature that breathes and bleeds
Seething underneath, never seeing it's entity
If we can leave at peace and bequeath serenity 
Then we have done our piece to increase Earth's energy
We're grieving 
And it's believing in this that's gonna get us thru it 
Even if it's hard to attain
We're receiving the gifts
Far and away we're relieving the kids
Still we want to know
Could it be easy
Could it lead us to this feeling
Can it calm my soul


Calm my soul
And awaken my heart
Calm my soul
And awaken my heart
Calm my soul
And awaken my heart
Calm my soul
And awaken my heart

Kingdom (feat. The Movement)

A genre-defying band from Layton, Utah, skillfully blends rock, reggae, ska, and alternative music to create a unique sound. Founded in 2024 by Zak Davis.

Passafire’s single, Keepin' On, serves as a mission statement for the veteran rock-reggae outfit as they continue to forge ahead through their second decade of reimagining the boundaries of the current rock-reggae landscape.
 
Since forming in 2003, Passafire has released a total of seven studio albums and boasts credits like producing with Paul Leary (Sublime, Pepper, U2, Slightly Stoopid), #1 albums on both the Billboard and iTunes Reggae charts, and sharing stages with rock-reggae OGs 311, Pepper, Toots & the Maytals, The Wailers, and John Brown’s Body, who in the band’s early years, inspired them to explore reggae with a gritty edge.
 
“We like to mix tight, clean reggae grooves with distorted guitar riffs” insisted Ted, “We’re ‘90s kids,” added Will, “we love rock, hip-hop and metal equally. It was always natural for us to straddle the line between genres.”
