Morning Groove

People often ask me how I make songs, and the answer forever is it depends! That is the beauty of practicing the experimental art of creativity, it teaches us the paths to happiness are essentially like imagination, i.e.infinite. All you really need is a brave and open mind, and (more importantly) a curious and gratefool heart... 

"Donkeys Years" is a SHOWsutra Fanana Club EP (i.e. where monkeys & donkeys play), because it was inspired by a silly party chit chat that brought me joy in the moment—plus, British humor is deliciously quirky cheeky (like I like), and huh, well, it's true I'm a hardcore slut for new words and expressions lol. But(t)... it is also very much infused with FLOWsutra and GLOWsutra vibes (i.e. where trust & gratitude shine), because at its core, it is (yet another:) thank you letter, to music, friends, fun, and freedom.  

EPx20 flows (Side A) Dub INDIE ❯ Gipsy LOFI + (Side B) Fusion JAZZ ❯ Psychedelic BURLESQUE + (BONUS) a Ragga Mama Dub DUB finale, olé 💃🏻

🎵 DONKEYS YEARS

[Chorus]
Donkeys’ years, oh dears, oh dears,
Blacklight beats and ravers cheers.
Shake those fears and shake those rears,
Let’s dance on for donkeys’ years.

[Verse 1]
Desert dust and beachside bass,
Silly smiles on every face.
Trippy souls and jesters peers,
Dancing through the donkeys’ years.

[Chorus]
Donkeys’ years, oh dears, oh dears,
Blacklight beats and ravers cheers.
Shake those fears and shake those rears,
Let’s dance on for donkeys’ years.

[Verse 2]
Forest nights and valley drums,
Booty-shaking wisdom comes.
Finding freedom, in trance gears,
My monkey dears, my donkeys’ years.

[Chorus]
Donkeys’ years, oh dears, oh dears,
Blacklight beats and ravers cheers.
Shake those fears and shake those rears,
Let’s dance on for donkeys’ years.

[Glow-Out Outro]
Thank you, ravers, light and loud,
May we find healing in the crowd.
SHOWsutra bows with peace fool grace…
Now let’s hug once more, 
and meet me by the bass

… 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?
