The Shakedown

Universal Harmony

Oh… I’m forming
Oh… I’m pulling everything near

Warm compression rising
(holding tight inside me)
Warm compression rising
(holding tight inside me)
Warm compression rising
(holding tight inside me)

In the dark I gather atoms to my center
Slowly pulling every drifting piece toward hush
Pressure grows where silence folds around me
Tiny sparks of heat begin their fragile climb
You lean close, feeling how I cradle shadows
Your motion settles softly into mine
I keep you wrapped inside this early gravity
Before the first bright moment even dreams of light

Warm compression rising
(holding tight inside me)
Warm compression rising
(holding tight inside me)

I feel you tremble through the swirling mantle
Gentle currents move us deeper toward the core
All the wide cold regions fade behind us
Only this quiet warmth remains to guide your breath
You settle in the space I’ve kept for ages
Folding into me like wind on resting dust
And every slow vibration that you offer
Becomes a part of what I’m growing here

Warm compression rising
(holding tight inside me)
Warm compression rising
(holding tight inside me)

Let me show you, let me show you
How I gather, how I hold, how I draw you in
Let me show you
What your presence stirs inside my center
Let me show you the shaping of a future glow

Stay close
Don’t drift

Warm compression rising
(inside this forming heart)
Warm compression rising
(inside this forming heart)
Warm compression rising
(inside this forming heart)
Warm compression rising
(inside this forming heart)
Warm compression rising
(inside this forming heart)
Warm compression rising
(inside this forming heart)
Warm compression rising
(inside this forming heart)
Warm compression rising
(inside this forming heart)

Warm compression rising

Was trying to overlap these tracks for possible inclusion in a mix, when it turned into a mash up in its own right. Keep on Keeping On is one of my favorite Northern Soul songs and I was very hesitant to mess with it out of reverence, but I think it works quite well as a slowed down, delay heavy bit of trippy cosmic funk.

Nolan Porter / It's A Fine Line - Keep On Keeping On/Grease (KF Edit)

Tim Maia, THE Brazilian Funk Soul Godfather was the real thing. His 1970 debut album introduced his audacious talent, as well as North American soul and funk musical influences, forever changing Brazilian popular music. His legendary appetites sought out carnal AND spiritual fulfillment in equal measure.  He bought 100 hits of LSD and handed them out to the staff of his record label. At the height of his mid-70s success he joined the Cult of Racional Energy; watching for spaceships while wearing only white clothes and playing only white instruments! Yet the two albums he recorded for the Cult are among his best. His songs search for love, and they dig into the existential. His own lyrics say it best: “I am so groovy now and I don’t care!”
