Black Honey - Spinning Wheel

The first single from Saul Williams' upcoming album
MARTYR LOSER KING
Coming 2016

LYRICS:
Running down a dark street. App that got a flashlight. 
Nike swoosh on bare feet. Whitney Houston's crack pipe. 
The Greatest Love Of All. Watch me rise to watch me fall. 
Contemplating. Rent is late in houses that I can't afford.

Showed my papes at heaven's gates they asked me for my Visa. 
Lived a life without no hate so tell me what you need, Sir? 
Question your authority. Genocide and poverty. 
Treaties don't negate the fact you're dealing stolen property.

Hacker. I'm a hacker. I'm a hacker in your hard-drive. 
Hundred-thousand dollar Tesla ripping thru your hard-drive. 
Oh Jesus, pull the chord. Seat-belts, what you standing for? 
Buckle up. Let's knuckle up. And tell Mohammed bring his sword.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Vigil in the middle of your occupied locations 
One that burns for haters; one that burns for Haitians.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Burning in the middle of your mosques and in your chapel.
Licking that forbidden fruit through bitten glowing apples.

Factories in China. Coltan from the Congo. 
Smuggled to Burundi. Hidden in a bongo. 
We beat a mighty drum. Changes go before they come. 
Guns and ammunition pay tuition for the desperate young.

Hacker. I'm a hacker. I'm a hacker in your hard-drive. 
Hate ain't no security. I'm hacking thru your hard-drive. 
Information Highway. Tunnel-vision Highway. Exit 17 
Yo bring them mthrfckrs my way!

Virus. I'm a virus. I'm a virus in your system. 
Fuck your history teacher, bitch. I've never been a victim. 
I'm just a witness. Hitler can come get this. 
Rabbis in Ramallah throwin' burqas on these bitches.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Vigil in the middle of your occupied location: 
one that burns for haters; one that burns for Haitians.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Burning in the middle of your synagogues and chapels.
Licking that forbidden fruit through bitten glowing apples.

Biography
THE ORIGINAL SANFTSPRECHER

Under duress from the USM (Unified Society of Milkmen), Joseph Daley, Blair Douglass, Paul Foreman and Nicholas Rocchio shut down their independent milk delivery service in 1929. A smattering of unsuccessful endeavors followed, until they discovered an undeniable chemistry blending finger-picked guitars with lutes and clarinets. Although initially less lucrative than the milk business, the quartet, who settled on the name Sanftsprecher (trans. “Soft Speaker”), were championed by Austria’s Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss in 1932 and subsequently enjoyed a period of massive popularity in their newly-adopted home country. The band split following Dollfuss’s assassination in 1934. Their only official recording, the 78rpm single,“I’ll Tend Your Garden,” is highly sought after by record collectors. In 2008, enthusiasts of the band purchased sheet music for a number of unrecorded Sanftsprecher songs that were discovered in Rocchio’s safe deposit box in UniCredit Bankengruppe. Austria’s Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich has been recording interpretations of these songs and releasing them for the public’s listening pleasure. Separately, a ramshackle group of Chicago-based musicians has taken it upon themselves to perform and record these songs in a strikingly rudimentary manner with crude electric instruments, much to the dismay of purist fans who prefer the orchestral versions.

DOLLFUSS WRITES VORTROBOS

Prior to accepting the office of Chancellor of Austria, Englebert Dollfuss was a soldier with the Austro-Hungarian army, fighting on the Alpine Front in WWI. Although he was highly decorated and well-regarded, his time in the battlefield had a significant effect on his psyche. It did not help that his diminutive stature was the source of great amusement for his peers, who referred to him as "The Jockey." He grew insular and took to writing lengthy works of fiction, featuring eerie parallel realities inhabited by characters who were obviously based on himself. Although his writing skills were limited, the stories were detailed and engaging. These pieces of fiction inspired a large batch of songs written by Sanftsprecher between 1932 and 1933. It is believed that the members of Sanftsprecher were among a very small audience with whom Dolfuss shared the stories. The present-day Soft Speaker (Chicago) recorded a selection of these songs and has released them as this album, Vortrobos, which borrows it's title from one of Dolfuss's works. The cover art was created by Chicago-based painter, Jason Brammer, and is the artist’s interpretation of one of Dollfuss’s parallel realities.

Description
"The group mines the rich vein uncovered by the melodic adventurousness of pre-Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd and Neil Young's mid-'70s crunch." - Chicagoist
