Bring the 90s Back

May 12, 2014: I've been freestyle singing what I call "#freemantra." I was listening to Autobiography of a Yogi just now, and figured I'd probably do well to try and chant a well known mantra. You know, like this one from the homie Paramhansa Yogananda.

You can call this a scratch vocal. I'm going to call it a one take, no studio and a prayer. I'll re-record it someday. For now... thanks for the music Shyamala Sajnani.

"Door of my heart,
Open wide I keep for Thee,
Wilt Thou come, wilt thou come, 
Just for once come to me.
Will my days fly away,
Without seeing Thee my Lord,
Night and day, night and day, 
I look for Thee night and day."

Door To My Heart

{musical intro}

I told the preacher man I’ll try
he told me bend down on one knee
he lifted water from the stream
then shouted out for all to see
he tilt my head up towards the sky
he told reach up for our dreams
I told the preacher man I’ll try

{musical solo}

I asked her to stay for one more night
two shooting stars upon the sea
she said don’t you go live beyond your means
I said love I be meaning all the time...

trying to make sense of how I feel,
she kissed my lips for the last time
then told me reach up for the sky

{musical solo}

I told the preacher man I’ll try
she kissed my lips for the last time
they told me reach up for the sky
they both told me reach up for our dreams
they both told me to reach up for the sky

{musical outro}

Reach Up For The Sky

Ruins Of Passing Time

A quick freestyle thinking about people we love that we need to regularly leave, and come back to.

Inspired by what I've learned from Hip-Hop, you go, you say, you concern yourself with what you've said after, and if it's useful, you share. That's what freestyle is, off the top, honest, and what ever words you can conjure in the moment.

I wrote this for my daughter.

I call them #freemantra.

///

And I keep it going for days
But I'd rather stop right now
Help me understand what you need, need
Help me understand what you need, need
I've gone, gone, gone through lots of towns
Yes, I've walked, walked 
I've walked around a lot of corners
I've seen a whole lot of faces
Some of them look like strangers
And some of them reminded me of you
Well, I can go on and one about all the things I'm seeing
Outside...
Or, I can just ask you, ask you, "darling what you do you need?"
Maybe I'd want to spend a lifetime trying to hold hold,
and it's hard when I got to go around the world again.

Around The World Again.

A friend sent this to me to remind me of what I sounded like in Highschool. He produced this song, and basically said to me:

"Just write from experience, and don't be afraid to tell your story."

// Aerosol Calligraphy and Calendars

// It's easy enough to simply train it on the regular 
// Day-to-day, on-and-off, never at the edges of 
// most of us—New Yorkers and Foreigners—never care enough 
// to notice there's an end to this platform that's bearing us 
// I notice there's a light, negotiate the benefits 
// of doing what is right, and do not cross beyond the edges but 
// sometimes there is the instinct to tear it up, and get up on the walls, and leave my name up there with Mare and them 
// you never know maybe the City might get clear and just 
// allocate a budget, let the Artist live and share the Love 
// If I was Mayor, all the Tunnels for the Travelers would be adorned with Aerosol Calligraphy and Calendars.
