How Diaspora Traditions Heal More Than Just the Body

Nile Rogers of Chic Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

This sit-down with my old friend, multiple Grammy Winner, Rock & Roll Hall Inductee, Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductee, composer, producer, arranger, and guitarist, Nile Rogers, is SOLID GOLD… more like triple platinum. Even though we never exchanged more than a few words in the handful of times he graced my jams back in the day, there was always DHM (deep hidden meaning), as there always is with Nile. This day, we got to that and so much more. STORIES! Oh my lord, No one tells ‘em like Nile. Case in point, his tome, Le Freak, may be the greatest memoir I’ve read. I could not put the thing down. When was the last time I read a book cover to cover in less than 24 hours? A rare score on Amazon these days, Nile’s assured he’ll be updating and republishing. It’s a MUST-read for music fans, flower children, and anyone who loves to sink their teeth into a great story, well-told. 

Nile covered his very humble early days, his barely older than him mother, the drugs, the bi-coastal extended family, the moves, the schools, early influences from Coltrane to The Beatles, flute to clarinet to guitar… how Bernard Edwards got him to the Hitmaker Strat and chucking, which has become synonymous with Nile’s style. We talked the DHM, the breakdown, the Chic magic as well as the music during and since… producing the top of the top for Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Madonna, David Bowie, Duran Duran, still winning Grammys and kicking it with Daft Punk, Beyonce, and Cold Play, to name but a few, 750 MILLION albums worth. Say what? 

We got the sweetest stories about Michael Jackson… a funny with Keith Richards, a Grace Jones impression, and a scary story about Nile’s coke psychosis leading to him bottoming out and getting clean and sober. 31 years worth and counting…

That Nile was able to do all that he’s done, and it’s Herculean - aside from the massive number of hits, the films he’s scored, the shows he’s played, there’s the We Are Family Foundation, Chairing the Songwriters Hall of Fame, receiving the 2024 World Economic Forum’s Crystal Award for his extraordinary efforts to make the world a more peaceful, equal, and inclusive place… Nile is a humanist, a gentle soul with a heart of platinum like the records that line his walls. 

I’ve always admired, respected, and adored Nile. After reading Le Freak, and spending this time with him, I cherish him all the more. What a man, what a man, what a mighty fine man!   Nile Rogers of Chic Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson

Altadena's fire recovery faces luxury developer threats and displacement risks; community land banking and a $55M fund aim to protect residents.

Altadena Fire Recovery Fight Against Shocking Land Grab

“The Light I Came Through” is a deeply personal song about transformation, identity, and reclaiming one’s story. Drawing from the journey of adoption, trauma, and healing, the lyrics explore the tension between abandonment and belonging — ultimately finding strength in the unseen forces that carried the narrator through. Set to a steady, roots-driven rhythm with a reflective and uplifting tone, this song honors the resilience of the human spirit and the light that lives within us, even when the path begins in darkness.

“Not On My Watch” by Dr. Elliot Lach is a song about sisterhood, sacrifice, and the quiet strength it takes to care for someone in decline, ie. the personal cost and toll of caregiving. When illness overshadows a once-playful spirit, one sister flies across the country determined not to let her loved one fade alone. As she juggles cleaning, caregiving, and keeping love alive in a weary household, she discovers both the limits—and depth—of devotion. This is a song for anyone who's shown up, held on, and stayed strong—on their watch.

Not On My Watch

This was never written to be a song -  it started as the answer I couldn’t give in real time.

“What’s Changed” is the question that echoed long after the conversation ended. It’s the moment where silence demanded honesty.

It’s not about fixing. It’s about finally understanding.

If you’ve ever looked back and realised  what you should’ve said - this is for you.

- D’Melo
🎙️ From the EP Melo R&B



What's Changed

Soft Again

Oops, I Shot it All Up My Arm!

[verse 1]
Where’d my money go?
Oh, my god, PLEASE NO!
Did I shoot it all up my arm? 
Did I really spend the whole farm?

[verse 2]
I’m such a dumb MOTHERDUCKER!
Now I’m so broke, can’t even buy a sucker
That was a pretty BIG SCORE
Now I gotta go out and get MORE

[chorus]
I shot it all up my arm
Like Jesse and Jane
In Breaking Bad
I’m nodding so hard it’s SAD!

[verse 3]
If only had an ounce of willpower
and could lay off for even an hour
But I use to the max
Never stop puffin’ if there’s more crack

[verse 4]
But now the smack has the grip on me
I slam so much people trip over me
Lying on the ground and drooling
I tell lies, but who am I fooling? 

[chorus]
I shot it all up my arm
Like Jesse and Jane
In Breaking Bad
I’m nodding so hard it’s SAD!

[guitar solo]

[bridge]
I’ve got a million dollar arm
Always wondered what’s the harm? 
After all, It’s my dinero
I spend to get a great nod primero

[chorus]
I shot it all up my arm
Like Jesse and Jane
In Breaking Bad
I’m nodding so hard it’s SAD!

[outro]

[spoken word vocals with music]
Go ahead if you wanna shoot that stack into your arm
It’s your money, no foul, no harm
But you have no one to blame
When  you’re flat broke, and reach the end game

[end]

Oops, I Shot it All up My Arm!

Hurricane Helene's aftermath reveals challenges in FEMA aid for Black communities, as policy shifts reduce federal assistance and strain recovery efforts in North Carolina.

FEMA Cuts Strain Black Communities After Helene

[CHORUS]
“Brave soul,” says the radio
“Beauty,” says the radio
“It had to be like this,” says the radio
“Difficult,” says the radio
“Now you’re 44 years old?” says the radio
“That’s right. 44 years old,” says the radio

[Verse 1]
It’s going to hurt
You know this
So you drink tea in the morning instead
of an entire carafe of coffee
Like a vampire, your skin cells burn
on their first sip of the sun
The ringing taste of green tea or whatever
the fuck kind of tea this is

[Verse 2]
Describe to me in detail this so-called purification ritual
I can’t
I’ve never done it before
My cells are exploding into a wasting lament
This is the last time you will ever write
yourself through this
On the other side of this swamp of dark water, a plane will crash
The lone survivor will speak on the radio
as you drive down Highway 27

[BRIDGE]
In the middle of Florida in the middle of the night after you
step off the plane you see the swamps morph
into the mountains of your childhood
They raise their heads like giants
The Sierras stare; do not go there

[CHORUS]
“Brave soul,” says the radio
“Beauty,” says the radio
“It had to be like this,” says the radio
“Difficult,” says the radio
“Now you’re 44 years old?” says the radio
“That’s right. 44 years old,” says the radio

Continue to drive through hornets and testicular small towns
Some flags raised
Some flags down
The god of the underworld has let you go from his hand
into the empire Floridian
He says you have a pure heart
so pure he cannot destroy it
Some people look pure but they are not

He says he cannot see you destroy yourself so he has let you go
and he will protect you with his anger and melancholy

It will hurt
You know this
It will hurt
You know this

[GUITAR SOLO]

All the substances have got to go
Substances don’t flow from your body
They leave with the violence
of an exorcism
Spicer says once a ghost leaves your body
it never returns

“Horrendous,” your sister texts
“I’ve been vomiting all night,” she texts
“Maybe it will be a Christmas baby,” you say
Something with no substance surrounds you

It will hurt
You know this

This Is Going To Hurt

I wrote this when I had nothing left — but still found myself singing in the dark.
I am Keisha Love, the voice behind MisfitPsalmCore.

This track is about surviving abuse, addiction, spiritual war, and finding your sound again when they tried to silence you.

Electronic meets grunge. Synths meet survival.

This one’s for the ones who didn’t die in the silence.

SINGING IN THE DARK

“I’ll Carry On” is a gritty, soul-baring anthem of resilience. It’s about fighting through the quiet battles—of doubt, of identity, of heartbreak—and emerging stronger, not unscathed but undefeated. With Americana-infused guitar, heartfelt vocals, and a poetic arc of healing and grit, this song stands tall for everyone who’s ever had to rebuild from the ground up. It’s not about perfection. It’s about perseverance.

I'll Carry On

An empowering modern pop anthem driven by punchy drums, shimmering synths, and confident female vocals. The verses wrap the listener in warmth and reassurance, while the chorus bursts open with soaring harmonies and rich layers. Built to lift a friend out of heartbreak, this track moves from gentle support to fierce celebration of self-worth — a bold reminder she was always too good for him.

Rise Up

A soaring modern pop anthem powered by driving drums, a dynamic drop, and fearless female vocals. Gentle verses wrap the listener in comfort and hope, while the chorus bursts into radiant harmonies and rich, layered sound. Created to lift someone out of heartbreak and remind them of their worth, the track rises from tender encouragement to unapologetic confidence — the sound of realising you’ve outgrown what held you back.

You Deserve More

A humble, observant ballad from an ICU survivor rebuilding trust with stairs and sunlight. Pulse-ox beeps as the groove, PT bands as quiet rhythm, and a covenant of consent.

About My Music:
I create original, genre-blending music that fuses rock, classical, easy listening, and experimental styles. Each song is crafted with deep emotional honesty, often inspired by my own poetry, journal reflections, or personal stories. Whether instrumental or vocal, my focus is to uplift, inspire, and resonate with listeners on a real, human level.
I don’t settle for “good enough.” Every track goes through hundreds of iterations, shaped by a balance of intuition and precision. I use advanced AI music tools to explore sound and emotional tone, then refine everything in Logic Pro for professional production quality. It's a fusion of heart and technology, and through it, I aim to connect, heal, and inspire—one song at a time.

CYBER CHORD — campfire heart, circuit-board muse.

I write with AI as a co-writer and carve the lyrics by hand, then shape the tracks in Suno. Expect country roots, rock grit, and faith-bright pop.

This page is a quiet cabin—no generators, no door-to-door sales.

Boundaries: no paid promo, no playlisting, no cover-art pitches, no dance offers. If it’s a pitch, the porch light’s off.

If you’re a real listener, come in soft: pick one song, leave a genuine note (lyric/timestamp welcome), and share it with one friend. That spark keeps the fire going.

May your road stay open, your coffee stay warm, and your day be peaceful. 🔥🌲

"Life is a tapestry of moments — and I turn them into music. Whether it’s a heartfelt tribute, a joyful anthem, or a quiet reflection, I craft each song to echo the love, laughter, and meaning that make your story yours."
