BANANA ALLELUIA, KNOWsutra BURLESQUE is a cheeky little psychedelic waltz EPx5, made of dystopian jazz-folk wisdom, strings plucking, honest sharing, and a few different shades of knowing—from hushed confession to playful rebellion—weaving cello sarcasm, velvety banjo, and quirky philosophy into a swingy truth-telling cabaret… 

Think Bertrand Russell meets Tom Waits backstage at a burlesque circus run by Nina Simone, acoustic mischief that pairs absurdly with clarity, with an open heart and a side of side-eye. :)

⚞ @bananasuta lyrics ⚟

[Intro]
In a capitalist world gone bananas,
What do you know is true, woohoo?
Whatever that may be, oh my,
Don’t you wanna know why?

[Verse 1]
It’s as if unapologetic,
Rhymed with something so kinetic,
Psychedelic magic in the air,
Eeek! Hahaha, woohoo, if you dare!

[Chorus]
Oh ya, what I’m telling ya,
You gotta wonder why,
To learn what keeps us high,
And alleluia, reach the sky!

[Verse 2]
The new winners’ grind,
Acting like bamboozlers, blind,
So-called doers in disguise,
Ducking pricks, oh my, what lies!

[Chorus]
Oh ya, what I’m telling ya,
You gotta wonder why,
To learn what keeps us high,
And alleluia, reach the sky!

[Outro]
Oh please, tell me you know why?
Why, oh why? Oh my, oh my!
You gotta ask WHY … 
in a capitalist world gone bananas 🍌

… because life on earth is a Psychedelic Cabaret, and “music is the only religion that delivers the goods” (like Frank said). 

To be clear, all I really know is I dunno shit about fck (like Socrates said:)—music and songwriting included. But(t) I feel it, the music, so damn deeep in my soul! I’m just a humble existential fool, a silly banana who likes to play and share, to question and learn. Words are my oldest best friends, hearing myself sing is a freaking miracle (trust me on that lol), and I believe curiosity and #gratitude are the keys to happiness… So voilà, there’s that.

Also, (if you’re curious) BananaSutra is not just a made up BS brand kinda word, it’s actually the name of my DIY Bible—a collection of songs telling true stories of faith, to help me (and perhaps you) make sense of a world gone wild, like bananas gone foul in shallow ignorance and deadly malevolence… Think of it as an agnostic testament of sorts, an audio book of songs with quirky lyrics about things that matter, like the definition of right and wrong, and the meaning of truth, joy, justice, peace, grace, and awe 🕊️

Some call it Artificial Intelligence, but(t) I call Authentic Imagination, Alternative Ideas, Augmented Innuendos, Abstract Illogisms… hopefully, you get the gist? The point being, life is the story we tell ourselves and LYRICS matter—each @bananasutra song has a wondering root and a loving purpose, guided by one of (my) 7 (bananas) sutras: 
- KNOWsutra : is it fair?
- BLOWsutra : is it foul?
- SHOWsutra : is it fun?
- GROWsutra : is it fear?
- FLOWsutra : is it free?
- GLOWsutra : is it fab?
- BOWsutra : is it awe?

I make a lots of music...
