The second instalment of the Groove Gems collection featuring an array of talented artists from my main collectives, @RhythmandReason and @ORPHGANG... 

This project was a great opportunity to showcase some of the amazing talent I have come across since releasing the first instalment of Groove Gems; all of whom I can individually consider as close friends and musical inspirations. Furthermore, Groove Gems II also allowed me to solidify my sound (put a stamp on it if you like) and expose listeners to the musical development/growth I have experienced since the last album. 

A massive thank you to EVERYONE who has supported me so far on my journey! 

Listen, Enjoy & Share (If you like it haha). As Always, Keeping It Soulful :) 

Stones (feat. GeeFree & Dani Sofiya)

[Intro – The First Breath of Now]


We are the present
inside the gift,
time folding in
on the smallest shift.

A bow on the moment,
a whisper on the air,
existence handing itself
to the one who’s there.


[Verse 1 – The Science of Presence]


Neurons don’t fire
in the past or ahead.
They live in a window
where now is fed.

Three seconds wide,
that’s the brain’s stage —
the present is a rhythm,
not a cage.

Physics hums:
“There is no ‘now’ in space,”
but awareness carves
a sacred place.


[Chorus – The Gift Opening]


Open your hands.
Feel what they lift.
You are the present
inside the gift.

Every breath
is a wrapped unknown.
Every heartbeat
is being shown.


[Verse 2 – The Philosophy Thread]


Buddha said:
“Do not dwell on past or dream ahead.
Live the moment.
Be the thread.”

Eckhart whispered:
“The power of now
is the only place
the soul knows how.”

Your presence is the loom.
Your gaze is the weave.
The cloth of being
is what you breathe.


[Bridge – Your Words]


We are the present
within the gift,
existing sight
into the inner loom’s lift.

As time tunes into being present,
our presence shifts to being heard.
As mind tunes into its thinker,
light collapses into word.


[Verse 3 – People in the Moment]


A child’s laugh
in a quiet room.
A lover’s hand
in the afternoon.

These are not
just passing days.
They are eternity
wearing your face.


[Second Chorus – The Gift Opening Wider]


Open your hands.
Feel what they lift.
You are the present
inside the gift.

Every breath
is a wrapped unknown.
Every heartbeat
is being shown.


[Verse 4 – Time as Life’s Canvas]


Time is life
for mind to arrive
in any particular
moment alive.

Mind is time
for life to depart,
leaving its print
on the map of heart.

Presence is the ink
that doesn’t fade.
Every now
is a vow made.


[Bridge – The Whisper of Awareness]


I imagine being presently here
when I am not aware of my affair.
I imagine being here
where present exists
in awareness’s air.


[Final Chorus – The Gift Unwrapped]


Open your hands.
Feel what they lift.
You are the present
inside the gift.

Every breath
is a wrapped unknown.
Every heartbeat
is being shown.


[Outro – The Silent Bow]


A bow on the moment.
A whisper on the air.
The universe giving itself
to the one who’s there.
