straightenin [forwop edit]

Hero's fallen like leafs in autumn 
Caught in an autumn breeze 
The trees mourn them
The skies pouring 
Tears like rainfall
On knees to the Angel's 
Adorning 
I feel me transforming 
Morphing into something awesome 
Like morphine coursing my veins 
Torching a flame of torchlight 
Highlights the pain
Reforming I'm born again
Bordering the same as before but refrain 
From speaking the name
Torture and mame the shame
Of the human brain
When insane is just a trip down memory lane
Throwing fits of rage
Fists engage without the soul at the wheel 
So we feel we fade 
With each decision made
The plague is manmade of mind and sickness 
From an ageless cliff face
They now race to get they're faces lifted
And praise thier digits 
They can't feel the message
Chase the lyrics
Let the critics speak
I'd rather peak at mountain peeks 
Bard my voice to bounce to each
Echo down on those beneath 
Deep breath cheat death when you sleep
And each breath in his chest is interest
To the gym reap 
You can't pintrest the the things I speak
Indiscreet the enemy now
A time of repeat is nearing now
Fighting before your feelings are drowned 
Welcome to the feeding ground 
Fearing the sound of guns
Or they put one in the hands of your sons
So I sing no song of merriment 
Or to boast some intelligence 
I've only spoke of what's relevant 
And what appears evident 
Perhaps it don't matter bone marrow in my skeleton
Blood in veins and beating heart
For a rebellion 
Seeing a stairway to heaven 
Snakes and ladders slip into Armageddon 
Like the sun setting over the horizon 
Settling in for the night and light no longer present 
Quarter to eleven and your feeling sleepy I'm guessing 
24 7 they pressing a question 
Effecting my digestion 
Sky weapon working on your shy impression 
Do or die no redemption 
Is it time rewind my session 
Body and mind on a soulless lesson

To my friends I tell em let go of the pain 
You can be whole again
The same old road again
Dead ends so you don't stroll away
I roll away like the tide receding 
In a time when I'm most needed
Is my soul defeated or just depleted 
Some egos are just uncompleted 
Need you to feed it
It hasn't eaten
Many afraid for graves that are to greet 'em
Feeling beaten by a system they believed in
Struggling to find meaning in the reason we lost our Eden
We moved with the seasons
Moments was fleeting 
We smoked with the chieftains 
And spoke of spiritual grievance 
Perseverance and of interference other worldly beings 
Who came to see us
Other races of the zodiac 
In ocean craft
The stones was exact and in tact 
We danced to the solstice 
While the universe took notice
In warm embrace of the moment 
The chosen children omnipotent 
The closing light night now approaching 
Coaching my will of thought
So it's bought into the open 
The sleeping spoken now awoken 
Pleasing to be easing on emotion 
This devotion 
From a pit of shit I made decisions quick
To fix what was broken 
But no such tool could assist where I was going 
And no crushed jewels could enrich the program 
They rushed to make fools of all man
No exit door slam
Unaware of the plan as open land becomes a prison and all we was given was coin in our hand
And contraband 
For all you planned you are not that man
Dopplegang'
Give them their coin back that's how you topple banks
Brothel hag being used like a bottle bank
Put some clothes in a duffel bag
And leave the door closed as you leave
Is how you stop all that
Throttle back we high speed living
And shot to crap in our 40's missed most when I was blinking 
Blazing and drinking linking a weekend into every evening 
Slowly losing touch
With the very air you breathing

Won't Let Go

Your bitter goodbye is ringing through this quiet night
This idle hour just won't pass
I've never missed you this much, never thought I would
Didn't think you'd feel so far away
Your summer perfume is still, blowing through this hallway
Autumn's amber red shadows dance
I miss our midnight rides on highway 18, 18 is gone

So go past the lights and all the excuses
You could have left "sincerely yours"
Don't you think it's obvious that I want to say more?
Cause anything too daring to say to you
Will be said in this letter, then burned away
So you never realize, I'm here

I'm thinking of your vague reply
So I can understand
Why we put this at rest
Why we forget to
Say that we were leaving
Say that we were sorry
The past remains unspoken
As this vacant night is dieing
But I still miss your summer perfume
This cold air brings such a distance to us
Such a painful distance
I'm still waiting for you to say you hate me now
So I don't have to hold on to this burning heart
This burning heart is getting old, getting old
While sitting on this cold kitchen floor
Head down to hide the tears,I've realized
I've finally realized that you were never meant for me

energy never deletes its only revitilized
the antarctic melted revealing a mummified
land forgotten in ice, frozen in time
brought back to life 
desolidfied with golden heated rhymes and rythems  
and you cant define my mission
classified to alchemist of the minds finite
ascended to turning copper to shine bright and glistten 
making dull minds diamond dynasty temples
changing matter to flow with my rivers
osiris crafted when he dug deep in the dipper
fishing for 50 days and 50 nights
tracked the milk way to learn the perscession of minds
preseccion of earth and the preception of time
couressing a nefertiti who worshipped the cycle
a yung feathered pheonix godess apart of the spiral
riding on horizons, got ivory bars, rhinos 
elephants tusks the elegant one 
 elements with tongues
scriptutres made from melonin bumps
written in flesh succulent guts
gushy gushy, dank kush, slushy
sauced and saturated 
wavy on the lazy baby neva lifted a arm for cash or payments
i been yote lonely roaming on th ranges 
different planes of reality 
i could change that frame with a spell of alchemy
written words reapted over and over caught a melody
a rode it to europa 
your frozen focesed on the ending 
not enjoying the infinte 
the right now, every second is actually endless
777 as i proceed my sentence to forsee the heavens
got the 40 pouring and aura sauring
sorta sour her gotta early start
ibeen wokring hard i been working hard
knowlegde on, searching halls
1upping gods, titan strong
midas palm, with the spirtual thots
got them worth more from before we start
now apart of the revolution, set a movement 
in motion, to the ony coding blocking you from knowing
troubleshootin your movements moving you back to blueprints 
tuning into hubris, over heated to not thinking straight.
so i laced the beat with hidden gems you can relate. 
vivid vents realising pressure in steam and vape 
and the weed is great
got me breathing brakes
beat change to tempo of my heart 
in the mental where i perform my songs

Fly, fly, fly highx10, floating through the clouds, with that loud, we in the clouds, relax your body, laying down on your yard looking at the sky late night, watching the clouds move by, amazed by stars & planes, we real relax looking at the sky,  all the stress passes by like clouds there temporary  that you put in your mind. forget about time,don't worry about bout nothing in this moment, Getting stone, being relax, laying on your back, stimulate body, feeling real lazy. We're Talking about nonsense were in clouds, floating by. Having a good time.

Fly, fly, fly highx10 floating in the clouds, exhaling that loud making our own clouds, forgetting about the problems loose your body and forget about the stress that you put on your body, you been uptight now it's time to release your mind, let go for the night. In a mindset of peace, having thoughts that come in out ya head, this how far you get, laying on the on front of the yard, relaxing and dogging negativity. You, your own person doing right unless you feel that you doing something wrong then that's on you to decide we drive our own lives, so fuck all that drama, just listen to music and vibe, relax your mind, chilling in the yard looking at the midnight sky, jazz even plying, no hip-hop, I'll let ya go bruh, let you do you, blowing your own clouds, you deep in the clouds, relax like sloth, glaring at the stars, watching meteor shower pass by rare moments in life, no longer on earth, you real high, high, staring in the midnight sky, catching all the stars in your eyes.

STARS - Lyric:

If this love were a star
You'd be shooting cross my heart
Lighting up in my eyes
Oh you always leave a mark

You can twist around time
There's no rules you can't bend
Turning shade into light
And on a wish you descend.

If this love were a star
You'd be brighter than the sun
Hold your gaze in the dark
And there'd only be the one

You can colour my dreams
Catch the words that I send
You're more than beauty to me
And now the sky never ends.
 
CHORUS:

To my land underneath oh the height that you soar
Too beautiful to keep
Too fleeting to ignore
You're a star, star
Fly over me
You're a star, star
Fly over me

. DEEP FOREST & GAUDI  'Epic Circuits' .
The much anticipated collaborative studio project between these two true music innovators DEEP FOREST & GAUDI, has gloriously resulted in the release of ‘Epic Circuits’, their – two years in the making – brand new album due for release in June 2018 on vinyl LP, CD, DDL.
Their individual careers have spanned the last three decades, both pioneering the world-music scene back in the 90s and they still continue to relentlessly deliver distinctive "genre-bending” innovative sounds. Now Grammy Award winner Deep Forest and renowned electronica-dub producer/musician Gaudi have composed a beautifully-crafted cinematic album, using analogue and modular synthesizers as an “electronic platform” on which to place their other instruments of choice, from the grand piano to the theremin. This album combines Deep Forest’s blissful melodies with Gaudi’s extraordinaire dub production techniques
To put it simply, these guys know how to deliver top quality music, scoring the highest sound production-standard in every release they do. In their years of celebrated careers they both amassed a stunning collection of originals, albums, remixes and chart positions worldwide. After meeting each other on tour in India five years ago, they’ve decided to embark in this music-adventure together, starting with the production of new songs and remixes for each other, followed by touring in Australia, England and New Zealand which naturally brought new music inspirations to the pair, resulting in the creation of the new album ‘Epic Circuits’.

A global favourite in the electronica and dub reggae music scenes, UK based producer GAUDI keeps his ever-growing fan base returning to the dance floor with his infectious bass-driven tunes and innovative live performances. Honouring the traditions of old school dub by performing on stage without a computer, GAUDI’s incredible sonic manipulations are interwoven with live Theremin, Moog, Vocoder, Tape Echoes, Percussion and live vocals - all of which makes for a one-of- a-kind experience not to be missed.

Back To Life

03 Sunshine - DJ Taz Rashid & Momentology

Never been a reason to doubt this project, that’s for sure. It’s been clear from moment one that Soul Recruiter is in the game to make a difference.  As a result of the effort, Soul Recruiter has truly become a viable entity to move the genre forward…these aren’t your typical faith-based cuts…and I think ears will appreciate that fact. Almost as if you hear this project reanimating or resurrecting itself, “Hoodtales” springs to life with vibrant & colorful sound – brilliantly punctuated by an inspired performance from guest-star Nichole Turner on the mic delivering the hooks. 

 The tales told throughout the Rap verses & bars highlight one of my favorite aspects of Soul Recruiter, which is the innate ability this project has to observe objectively and present a realistic perspective to ya.  I think a lot of people mistake religious-based music as always trying to overtly convert the masses – but that’s not always the case by any stretch of the imagination, nor is it here in Soul Recruiter’s music, especially on “Hoodtales.”  You get a snapshot here of what Soul Recruiter sees and a view of the world that certainly suggests some guidance is sorely needed; some of these details get downright gritty – and I think people, especially the faith-based crowd out there, will find this bold & direct approach refreshingly honest and entirely real.  Plus, as I mentioned at the very beginning of all this, you already know you can count on Soul Recruiter to stack up a solid beat in your speakers – “Hoodtales” doesn’t disappoint in that respect or in any other.  The rap is strong and delivered with tangible energy & attitude, which puts the emphasis & meaning into the words where it’s needed most – and to really listen to “Hoodtales” is to understand the intentions behind this whole project & mission that Soul Recruiter is on.  

The lyrics might spin tales of some seriously hard times out there and detail some imagery you’ve either seen on the news or experienced yourself – but even while the struggle is related to us here factually, you know the intention is to create awareness & change as a result.  That’s all in the subtext – again, I dig that personally as a dude outside of the religious arena – there’s a ton of interpretation that can be applied to what’s being said here in terms of what Soul Recruiter wants you to take away from these stories in “Hoodtales,” despite the specific imagery you’ll hear in the bars as they’re spit.  Knowing the intentions of this project perhaps a bit better than most out there, it’s no secret to me that Soul Recruiter isn’t afraid to expose the underbelly of our humanity in a sincere effort to help save it.

Smart mix on the vocals, they sound HUGE in the verses with the layer-effect working its magic.  Nichole Turner definitely deserves a massive shout-out and high-five of her own for a seriously inspired performance that has her sounding incredible on this single.  Soul Recruiter has that ability to take you out of your world and really move you slickly right into the vibes this project creates, fully enveloped – you certainly get a solid dose of that sleek sound & impressive production that’s been a signature staple in the music from day one as well.  Essentially, everything you love about Soul Recruiter is firmly intact here on the latest single, yet you get a bit more for your brain to chew on with the narrative running through the additional rap bars and the beautifully wild & exotic performance from Turner on the mic.

AGAINST FUTURISM (Part 1)
 
What does it mean to write on "THE FUTURE" (all caps and in quotations)?
Is it even possible?
And, if so, is it possible to act (in italics) on the future?
The problem with the future—like the problem with the past—
is that it does not exist
We all know this
The only time it ever is--it ever can be--
is now
It is always now
Now
Say it again (now)
How does it feel to be here?
To be “really here”?
One cannot describe experience without
dwelling on the past
One cannot prescribe experience without asserting the present;
Then a document becomes a score, time passes,
And the past becomes the future
Becomes the past
Becomes the future
Becomes the past
Becomes the-
Do you get what I’m saying?
The human perception of experience encompasses all three:
Present, Past and Future (title case)
Past experiences and future anxieties crowd around the experienced present, like identical triplets
Inseparable yet insecure
Cuddled together in the crib,
Yet never touching
My old composition professor once said that,
for human beings,
what we consider "a moment"
is a window of time that lasts approximately seven to eight seconds
[wait seven to eight seconds]
There
Did we all have a moment?
This window of the moment
is slippery
is always sliding forward with us through the inevitability of motion
of things changing
of time marking itself
To be is to be in time
Like the cursor in Garage Band that 
moves through the score from left to right
tied exactly to the forward advance of the composition
But it isn't just doing that, is it?
The marker has a tendency to be in place; in one place, specifically;
It’s tendency is always toward center
If one begins to "play the score” and the cursor is at a position that is "behind the moment" (in quotations), the cursor will leap forward--left to right--catch up, and take its place in the center of the computer screen
If the cursor is "ahead of the moment", 
it will leap backward--right to left--to find its equilibrium in the exact center of the musical moment that is audibly happening
Even fucking Garage Band gets it; that the position of experience in the elastic tug-of-war of beingness...
IS CENTER (in all caps)
It is always now
And we are always center—each one of us—
Time and matter moving through us
Simultaneously fixing us in place
and yet tearing through us
dislocating us,
disorienting us
disintegrating us
Futurism is a problematic endeavor
Has always been
Take the zone of entertainment at Southern California’s Disneyland known as “Tomorrowland”
An abstraction from Wikipedia says:
Walt Disney was known for his futurist views and, through his television programs, showed the American public how the world was moving into the future. Tomorrowland was the realized culmination of his views. In his own words: "Tomorrow can be a wonderful age. Our scientists today are opening the doors of the Space Age to achievements that will benefit our children and generations to come. The Tomorrowland attractions have been designed to give you an opportunity to participate in adventures that are a living blueprint of our future.” It is this movement into the future that has, on occasion, left Tomorrowland mired in the past.
Walt Disney’s problem is our problem;
is the problem of design and technology’s ever-failing negotiation with time
In order to stay current (even if currency is believed to be the reflection of a projected “future”)
We must remain in a permanent state of updatedness
Constant updates now and forever
Any object that attempts to embody the future--
EVEN THIS SCORE--
is, on some level,
a complete waste of time
BEing
DOing
LIVEing
WRITEing
PERFORMing
The gerund is our friend
The future is happening
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going

LYRICS:
[Verse 1] SANTOS’ VERSE
Wake up with the one thing
The only thing that helps me string 
Along in these tough times
Times that make me feel confined
Can’t stress enough bout the taste
The warmth of which that I was faced
The rhythm hits, my heart has raced
The sun at which my eyes have gazed

[Verse 2] JACK’S VERSE
I sip, I grip, I slurp the drip
Don’t slip, forget my grip was fit 
Dry lips, must lick, and shake my hips
Steamed lid, get rid-a that horrid shit
I’m paralyzed to the sensation
This specialized drink, the temptation
Taste buds stabilized, implementation 
Received steamy eyes, condensation

[Chorus] 
When the day hits
No time to sit
Rise beyond the rift
Mornin blend of gifts 

[Verse 3] WILLIAM’S VERSE
When I’m tired and feeling down
I take a sip to reverse my frown
Watch my intake before I drown
Wake in a ditch, why am I face down?
Work all day, drink all day
The drive that caffeine gives me everyday
Every bit of the contents it glazes
My insides which divides the spaces 

[Verse 4] MARCUS’S VERSE
Wake up tired, it’s time for some coffee
Your hard work, it’s looking a little choppy
Your precision and careful footing is becoming sloppy 
I’ll make you some coffee, just wait in the lobby 
Sit on the chair to relax your butt cheeks
I will give you this mug, steam, watch it creep
The warmth of your interest surely it will peak
Too curious of the smell of which you will seek 

[Verse 5] ANTONIO’S VERSE
Caffeine blazing, heart is racing
Tired fading, can’t replace me
Time is phasing, light is painting
Through the spaces to our faces
Can’t get enough of this mornin blend
Without it for me it will be my end
You think you can comprehend
To the wonders of its wonderful scent

[Chorus] 
When the day hits
No time to sit
Rise beyond the rift
Mornin blend of gifts

[Verse 6] GUY’S VERSE
Grab the coffee and grind the beans
Grab the filter and water the seams
Turn the switch on, wait til it steams
Grab your mug and pour it like a dream
Drink it black or have it creamed
Nectar sweet at which you gleamed
Drink it all til the cup is cleaned
Your true inner self will feel redeemed

[Multi-Verse]
SANTOS
It will build your self esteem
Your inner self will feel serene 

MARCUS
It’s everything you’ve ever dreamed
Your inner self will feel redeemed

WILLIAM
One sip and it will make you free
Quite fit to face the grand jury 

JACK
The judge will love your plan to see
The rise and growth of more coffee

ANTONIO
Plant the seeds for those in need
Please share to all to fight the greed 

GUY
Don’t stop the growth we must succeed
This blended mornin drink indeed 

[Chorus]
When the day hits
No time to sit
Rise beyond the rift
Mornin blend of gifts

Mornin Blend

This work is inspired by the “Four Seasons” poems by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty.
 “Spring” is a sweet lament expressing the sentiment of a young woman: while calmly plucking mulberry and admiring the beautiful landscape in early spring, she sadly watches the departure of their loved ones going to war. “Summer” communicates optimism through the sunny portrayal of blooming lotus in a lake: she awaits effortlessly in a boat, but can only catches a glimpse at the royal house afar. “Autumn” depicts the yearning heart of a young woman: under the moonlight and feeling the soft blow of autumn wind, she laments the passing of time and wishes the safe return of her loved one from war. “Winter” describes an anxious woman sewing a winter coat late at midnight: she dreams the coat will be sent to her husband, keeping him warm and safe from the brutal winter wind in a war zone.
The vocal line captures the bleak but romantic poetic essence of the stories. The piano accompaniment is written in a dramatic manner, coloristic and dynamic. Music evolves from the lyrical and impressionistic figures in “Spring”, to the intense and angular gestures in “Winter”. The centered voice of a female character reminiscences elements of Kunqu opera, an old form of Chinese opera of passionate and melodious character. 
The track features soprano Katy Clark with pianist Denise Jung, who sung beautifully in Mandarin.
子夜四時歌     李白
春歌
秦地羅敷女		采桑綠水邊
素手青條上 		紅妝白日鮮
蠶飢妾欲去 		五馬莫留連
		
夏歌
鏡湖三百里 		菡萏發荷花
五月西施采 		人看隘若耶
回舟不待月 		歸去越王家

秋歌

長安一片月 		萬戶擣衣聲
		
秋風吹不盡		總是玉關情
		
何日平胡虜 		良人罷遠征		

冬歌

明朝驛使發 		一夜絮征袍
	
素手抽鍼冷     		那堪把剪刀
	
裁縫寄遠道		幾日到臨洮	


SPRING

The lovely Lo Fo of the western land 
Plucks mulberry leaves by the waterside. 
Across the green boughs stretches out her white hand; 
In golden sunshine her rosy robe is dyed. 
"my silkworms are hungry, I cannot stay. 
Tarry not with your five-horse cab, I pray." 

SUMMER

On Mirror Lake outspread for miles and miles, 
The lotus lilies in full blossom teem. 
In fifth moon Xi Shi gathers them with smiles, 
Watchers o'erwhelm the bank of Yuoye Stream. 
Her boat turns back without waiting moonrise 
To royal house amid amorous sighs.

AUTUMN

A slip of the moon hangs over the capital; 
Ten thousand washing-mallets are pounding; 
And the autumn wind is blowing my heart 
For ever and ever toward the Jade Pass.... 
Oh, when will the Tartar troops be conquered, 
And my husband come back from the long campaign! 

WINTER

The courier will depart next day, she's told. 
She sews a warrior's gown all night. 
Her fingers feel the needle cold. 
How can she hold the scissors tight? 
The work is done, she sends it far away. 
When will it reach the town where warriors stay?
