Wataru remix

“Écéng Gondok” was written by female Indonesian composer Ibu Haji Siti Rokayah, who earned much respect during the 1940s-50s in a genre dominated by men until only very recently. It features singers Laura McColm and Danni Redding Lapuz.

SILENT UNSEEN

[Verse 1]
I don’t want a crown, don’t need to control
I’m here to heal hearts, I’m here to make whole
Neighbor to neighbor, we rise when we give
Love is the weapon, compassion’s the bridge

They feed us division, keep people in fear
But truth is the signal, the message is clear
You ain’t my rival, you ain’t my foe
Together we shine, together we grow

Triggers can’t rule me, lies can’t define
I drop the false lens, I see the divine
Inside my chest is the spark from above
This is the last call — be a leader of love

[Chorus]
Stop the hate, stop the lies, let the people rise above
This is the last call — we the leaders of love
No more walls, no divides, we are stronger as one
This is the last call — a new world’s begun

[Verse 2]
Change starts within, reflection is key
Heal what’s inside and the outside is free
The battle ain’t out there, it lives in the mind
When you master yourself, you uplift mankind

Greed poisoned souls, but it don’t have to last
Love is eternal, hate’s tied to the past
Brothers and sisters, the power is near
The kingdom’s inside — the truth is clear

[Chorus]
Stop the hate, stop the lies, let the people rise above
This is the last call — we the leaders of love
No more walls, no divides, we are stronger as one
This is the last call — a new world’s begun

[Verse 3]
We ain’t machines, we got blood, we got breath
Compassion’s the cure to a culture of death
So drop the illusion, the stories that bind
The truth is the power, the light in the mind

Reconnect with yourself, let the healing expand
Peace in your heart is the strength of the land
Leaders of love, it’s the call from within
The power is mercy, that’s where we begin

[Chorus]
Stop the hate, stop the lies, let the people rise above
This is the last call — we the leaders of love
No more walls, no divides, we are stronger as one
This is the last call — a new world’s begun

[Chorus — Repeated, with choir/ad-libs]
Stop the hate, stop the lies, let the people rise above
This is the last call — we the leaders of love
No more walls, no divides, we are stronger as one
This is the last call — a new world’s begun

THE LAST CALL

MOLLY

Gravity Don’t Know Me is a cinematic pop anthem sung by Shasta Shane about rising above doubt, breaking free from expectations, and finding strength in your own light. Shasta’s voice floats between softness and power, blending future-pop energy with emotional storytelling. This track captures the feeling of lifting off from everything that once held you down — a reminder that you’re stronger, brighter, and more unstoppable than you think.

Paper Plane
Written & Produced by Johnie Lewis Tidwell Jr.
aka Return Of The Nerd

Paper Plane is about letting go — sending a piece of yourself into the air without knowing where it will land. It’s that quiet moment between doubt and belief, when you choose to release the thought, the feeling, the dream, and trust the flight.

Minimal on the surface, deeper underneath.
A reminder that even the simplest idea can travel far once you let it go.
