Summoning

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it

Sow Your Seeds

I start this new album with better sound by means of one of my more beloved and evolved songs ever, a structured piece with progressing parts.

LETRA   /   TRANSLATED LYRICS:

BIEN, MAL (LLUVIA VIEJA)    /   WELL, BADLY (OLD RAIN)

Sí, no, ¿por qué no?   /   Yes, no, why not?

Bien, mal, ¿tú qué tal?   /   Well, badly, what about you?

El tiempo esparcido entre mis amigos   /   Time scattered among my friends

Los ratos vividos estando contigo   /   Moments lived being with you
 son reconfortantes cuando estoy perdido.   /   are comforting when I feel lost. 
Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos,   /   I must search for them among my friends

Bien, mal (Lluvia vieja)

This is a song I wrote while being inspired by working with Janine https://soundcloud.com/janinelevinson . I was trying to write songs with her vocals in mind, but she always created such nuanced harmonies that often went well beyond my expectations. This is a song I wrote about being stuck at home, and that I shouldn't forget or take for granted its meaning and value. I love writing songs about defining "home", because the perception of it seems to always be in flux. My perception of home was quite different growing up than it is now. Lastly, a home is place everyone deserves. If you have the inclination, I would love to hear what are some of your favorite songs about the meaning of home if you comment of this song. Again, please admire Janine's fine work on this tune.

Lyrics:
Waiting on a train
Won’t go anywhere until I’m home

Mother was alive
Wouldn’t go anywhere until I was home

Brother won’t you sleep 
Sleep so soundly 
When you’re home

Father always said
The bed’s always better when you sleep at home

I know the Way
I know the Way
 To get back home

In the rain
And Through the snow
When in pain
And you can’t seem to grow

Down that road
A whisper in the wind
You’re not as bad
Or a failure where you been
Love is all we got
But sometimes it’s all it takes
Even when you have the shakes. 

In the rain
And Through the snow
When in pain
And you can’t seem to grow

I know the Way
I know the Way
To get back home

Waiting on a train
Won’t go anywhere until I’m home

Mother was alive
Wouldn’t go anywhere until I was home

Brother won’t you sleep 
Sleep so soundly 
When you’re home

Father always said
The bed’s always better when you sleep at home

In the rain
And Through the snow
When in pain
And you can’t seem to grow
In the rain

I know the Way
I know the Way
To get back home

(First, I want to share a ‘gotta give em credit’ moment. Doesn’t it drive you nuts when you come up with the perfect song title… and then one day you discover the idea has already been fully realized… and done brilliantly. If you too find this title hilariously inappropriate, check out the actual ’The Pop-Up Book of Phobias’ by Gary Greenberg, Balvis Rubess, and Matthew Reinhart. We snagged one. It’s a great ‘coffee table’ book.) :)

Now to the core message behind this song… I had one of those ‘oh crap’ moments recently… the realization that I’m spending way too much time lost in fear, worrying about the world’s future. What can I say. Society seems messed up lately. It feels like everything is foolishly bulldozing toward a brick wall. And I’m having a hard time visualizing any happy endings. We should officially label 2020 as ‘The Year of Absolute Uncertainty’ (and maybe also ‘Not Recommended’).

Fortunately, while I was losing myself to worry, my partner in crime was reading one of my favorite books, ‘Courage’ by OSHO. And she reminded me of one of the primary messages I had forgotten; a comfortable life is a dead life. 

We aren’t meant to be safe. We are best suited to experiencing life naked and vulnerable and unsure; and learning from the experiences that result. Society wants us to believe a safe and secure life is a successful life. And there truly is no such thing. There are no guarantees. And struggling to protect who we are and what we have just creates unhealthy attachment, and prevents us from experiences that can help us grow.

Think about this. Are you more likely to seek change when your life is going swimmingly? Or are you going to try to change your situation when everything feels messed up, and you’re unsatisfied with how things are playing out? The answer is pretty logical. 

But in these modern times, many of us have achieved (or were handed) relatively comfortable lives. When we have it that good, we don’t want to rock the boat. It’s easy enough to turn a blind eye to injustice and suffering when you have everything you need. 

Massive change seems to require a global shift in thinking. We are all in the same boat (some might even suggest ‘hand basket’) together. And it’s pretty evident the current trajectory is not only unsustainable, but it really sucks, and will likely prove dangerous. So in our current circumstance, everyone becomes an advocate for change. We have a lot of unified voices out there right now, speaking up about a better future for all of us. And frankly, we vastly outshine the voice that wants everything to remain exactly the way it is. 

Comfortable times don’t cause those kinds of things. So while it seems like a long, hard road ahead of us. Let's be grateful something this drastic has provided us the global opportunity for improvement. 

I hope you enjoy my latest uncertainty, ‘The Pop-Up Book Of Phobias’. :)

Vox Populi

The Pop-Up Book Of Phobias

This is a song about a Tasmanian devil loving a kangaroo girl. She loves to kick him with her own way of expressing her affection.. They are apart from each other because of a bat, and trying to connect each other.

Written and performed by Kyo

Hold on Miss Kangaroo
I will get back to you 
As soon as this mess is through 

All these gizmos of bat
Are crushing our home 
Don’t be sad, I love you no matter what 

I know how you want to jump and kick me
For now let’s have an e-date

Miss you girl 
Miss you miss kangaroo 
Do you miss me?
Miss me miss kangaroo 

No I didn’t have an affair with miss wallaby
She’s kind of cute but too small to me

Miss Kangaroo

Pulling together strands of tenor saxophone and synth. with jazz bass elements and sporadic percussion hits. Tracks were all improvised but came together OK and sound vaguely arranged (in my head).

LYRICS:-
So you can sell us pretty pictures in your cinemas
And you can sell us your technology and real fast cars
So you can tell us pretty stories in your history books
But you won't tell us of the heroes who've been overlooked

And now it seems the tide is turning on your great facade
You just ran out of luck and drew the losing card

We are now in a once in a lifetime
And onto a whole other timeline
It's clear this is just at the right time
It's true
Yes this is once in a lifetime
And we have been given a lifeline
We know this is just about high time
It's new

So you can can sell us all the war and hate and we just lap it up
And you can sell us all the ammunition to back it up
So you can tell us of the brand new cure for your disease
But you can't keep us from uniting that's our expertise

But now it seems the tide is turning on your great facade
You just ran out of luck and drew the losing card

We are now in a once in a lifetime
And onto a whole other timeline
It's clear this is just at the right time
It's true
Yes this is once in a lifetime
And we have been given a lifeline
We know this is just about high time
It's new

The winter snow arrived early and this very beautiful photo inspired me this song.
This beautiful white snow hides all the sufferings of a completely disoriented nature.

ICE RIVER

frozen river,
your wicks of silver,
dig in the snow,
looking now,
the last heat,
the last beats,
of a fiery summer,
devouring the earth ...

this beautiful white coat,
gives us false illusions,
this truth that we loathe,
which brings us back to reason
which brings us back to reason 
to reason
to reason......

Ice River

The first song Frank and I ever learned and performed together. Done as a gift to my buddy Dave. I can't remember if it was his birthday, or a New Year's present. Late Christmas? Who knows. But this was back before we had a SoundCloud, or a Facebook page, or anything even remotely resembling a DAW. Just us, in a room, with a chirping smoke detector. Hope you enjoy the very first HinTTrack.
