Name Your Price 

Ronin, Midliife & Joe Barbour - Closer (Play It Louder 10K Compilation)

I mourn peace and freedom. I mourn checks and balances, and the democratic consensus. I mourn every innocent victim of war—every child, every dream crushed by every tyrant. How could I not? How can you not?

Being pro-people and pro-peace isn’t being anti-anyone, it’s refusing to let pain justify cruelty. I love my Jewish friends, but I also mourn the moral consensus we once called “Never Again.” Because safety matters—yours, mine, theirs, ours. Everyone’s safety matters… That’s why my heart can’t stop singing and praying for world peace. I’m not anti-anyone. I’m anti-dehumanization. My hope is that the Jewish story can end in healing, not repetition. 

I can’t help but hope… because I believe we can protect each other without inflicting new wounds. Empathy isn’t a zero-sum game; it’s what makes us human! It’s what helps us survive and thrive as one earthly, democratic tribe. In fact, empathy is the ultimate weapon against evil! That is exactly why those who cannot feel it try to divide and conquer by calling empathy weak or dangerous.

Simone Weil wrote: “Imaginary evil is romantic; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren.” So when I hear friends glorify revenge to justify genocide, I weep… as if trauma could explain violence because it gives despair a proud story; as if moral drama, fueled by hubris, could heal the multigenerational void of helplessness left by past and future trauma. When a pacifist says “no more heroes, no more villains, just humans,” it’s treated as a threat, as if “you’re with us or against us” were unquestionable truth. 

But Nietzsche warned that those who fight monsters must be careful not to become them, and Hannah Arendt reminded us that fear of being a victim can make us accept the role of the oppressor. Real humanism doesn’t erase trauma, it transcends it! Pacifism isn’t naïve; it’s a radical commitment to ending the cycle of identification with force. 

Winning means grounding ourselves in moral coherence. Life is sacred. It’s not about picking sides between nations (or parties)… it’s about choosing compassion over cruelty. Sigh. 

And so well now, of course, I wrote yet another song—another “Letter to My Friend,” about Never Again. 💌

@bananasutra – Lyrics: “Letter to My Friend”

Hey love, 
I’ve been thinkin’, the air’s gone strange.
We built a bridge, but fear made the range. 
When did caring turn into crime? 
Since when did heartbeats choose a side in time?

You think my tears forgot their tribe, 
But pain’s one language, that’s the vibe. 
If I cry for Gaza, do I leave you dry? 
Or can both our ghosts learn to sigh and fly?

I’m not your enemy, babe, I’m the echo that remains. 
Every love I add don’t steal your chains. 
Peace ain’t a prize that one can win; 
It’s a wound that heals when we let it begin. 
Oh, Bananasutra sings again…

Your roots run deep in haunted clay, 
I feel that tremor every day. 
But if walls keep empathy out of sight, 
Ain’t we just living in longer nights?

You guard your story like sacred wine, 
But I sip my sorrow... it tastes like thine. 
Can’t “never again” be a door, not a wall? 
Must one rise so another can fall?

I’m not your rival, love, I’m the ache that understands, 
Two trembling souls with open hands. 
My heart don’t subtract when it starts to expand; 
It multiplies truth in foreign lands.

Pain is pain; it don’t wear flags. 
It needs no borders, no tags. 
Fear’s a thief, babe, it steals our sight, 
Makes day look wrong and wrong look right.

Would you rather win, or rather heal? 
Would you rather numb, or rather feel? 
If trust could hum a new refrain, 
Would you hear my note through your pain?

I’m not against you, I’m just against cruel. 
Love ain’t a weapon; it’s the rebel’s rule. 
Let’s rewrite Never Again for all, 
’Cause peace built on pride’s just another wall.

So hey, my friend, come dance instead? 
We’ll sing for the living, not just the dead. 
Bananasutra’s heart don’t bend, 
It blooms, it breaks, it mends. 🪽


[03] Letter to My Friend (Never Again) - GROWsutra Tzigane Arabesk Soul Peace Fusion Gipsy INDIE

There's something swimming in the water undertow
Following me out to a private archipelago
I tried to let it get a hold and pull me under
See if I could hold my breath
Down to the bottom of the ocean
Where the waves and the whales rest

But I know where the skies meet the water like my Mother or my Father
I was raised by the sea
And every day the tide pulls away only to return again 
Like a breath traveling in and out of me

I need to breathe.

I hear the waves crashing overhead
I see the sky through an aqua lens
I feel the current take me where it pleases
This journey gives me something to believe in

But I know where the skies meet the water like my Mother or my Father
I was raised by the sea
And every day the tide pulls away only to return again 
Like a breath traveling in and out of me

I need to breathe. 

I remember days sitting in the sand
Letting the sun burn our skin
I remember days swimming through the waves
Drifting away

I know where the skies meet the water like my Mother or my Father 
I was raised by the sea
And every day the tide pulls away only to return again 
Like a breath traveling in and out of me

I need to breathe.

Lyrics:
at first i didn’t think i was cut enough to bleed
then i saw my secrets getting swallowed by the sea
through a telescope
i saw a diamond glow
how you brought me home
i guess i’ll never know

with god as my witness
never had it so good
jumping into love
fire sets to dry wood
started off as noth’n
now it’s gold
and it’s all on u

i get my kicks from you
i get my kicks from you

can’t see, dark road, driving up the hills
looking at the girl, hand barely on the wheel
got no where to go
we can take it slow
how you brought me home
i guess i’ll never know

i get my kicks from you
i get my kicks from you

with god as my witness
never had it so good
jumping into love
fire sets to dry wood
started off as noth’n
now it’s gold
and it’s all on u

and it’s all on u
and it’s all on u
and it’s all on u

kicks from you
i get my kicks from you
