Since growing up in an old neighborhood of Victorian homes, I’ve occasionally recalled one particular property at the end of our street that had fallen into disrepair. It was one of the biggest houses in the area and looked like it must have been quite the impressive home in its day. But my friends and I always imagined what horrified tales must lurk in those shadows. All these years later I can say that the house and property were completely replaced by modern, more cheerful condominiums, the rusty gates and wild overgrowth long gone. But I recall some of the history I learned about the once proud estate and felt it all made for great Halloween tale telling as Nat and I have tried to convey in this rockin’ trip into the dark and stormy night....

Lyrics: Thirteen Ravens

Dead of night, I’m walking home
The rain is beating down
I should have grabbed a cab before 
I left the pub in town

The sidewalks here on Franklin Hill
Uneven with despair
Lead me past the iron gates
The old stone mansion there

Behind the broken fences 
Overgrown with thorns
The thunder booms must fill the rooms
And stir the ghost that mourns 

He was a wealthy statesman
And this his grand estate
He had it all but shame did fall
Upon his final fate

Now all these decades later 
As the world just passes by
I stop to put my collar up
And hear an eerie cry

The mansion long abandoned 
There stands a silhouette
And on one bare limb of a tree
A dozen ravens sit

Above the broken gables
Circles one last mate
As if to warn that somewhere there
The old man lies in wait

Lightning cracks the darkness
The ravens scatter fly
They croak like deadly demons cast
Into the sullen sky

Thirteen ravens on their watch
To hold the blackened past
While crooked shutters hang upon 
Their secrets to the last

But I must pull away now
From this place where shadows dwell
Where thirteen ravens tell their tale 
And hold you in their spell

Thirteen ravens like a chain
Of nightmares in the rain

Thirteen Ravens

Got to get God (inside you)

Performed by @the-dj-real and @u-poet-official
Music by @kinelle-man
Mixed and mastered by @the-dj-real

[CHORUS]
We be walking easy
Got my gaze down 
Life be stressing
Despair sits on this frown

Resurrect the pain
from the days experienced
Process, disassociate, 
Endure, stay serious.

[VERSE 1 DJ REAL]
I'm 
gonna get straight real for you
You didn't think it was gonna be
a leisure trip for you and me by the pool

Why 
would you even think that fool
My intentions they are genuine 
legit OG from the old school.

Alert to defend,  duck and bend,
fuck your friends, I don't pretend
Push my trust beyond the end
You drive me up and round the bend

Confirm the descend, felt in the wind
Did not intend, while we re-mend
Let's discuss, respond again
Your AI slop sounds shit my friend

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS REPEAT ]

[VERSE 2 U.POET]

My thoughts are my wisdom 
my wisdom is my vision 
the vision is the spirit 
so I can uplift them 

now you stay winning 
Cus I'm not finished
there is no gimmick
never been a limit

The free speech knowledge 
will understand the message 
spreading my love 
has always been a blessing 
now I got connections 
Guna drop classics
 I was born bastard
 Guna out last um

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS REPEAT ]

[SCRATCH BRIDGE]
I'm Walking 
I'm Thinking
Not talking
Thoughts imprinting

I'm Walking
I'm Thinking
Problem Solving
Eyes unblinking

[VERSE 3 DJ REAL]
Words chosen with recognizance
One's pompousness does not regress
Corrupts you soul they're ominous
It’s a falsified hippocampus-

Guess work about the truth I said
Forgotten meaning, enough said
The narrative selectedly unthread

Replaced with fear, shame and regrets
It's laced with tears, on wet towelettes
The thinking That's round in your head
It trapped you there, spins like roulette

[CHORUS REPEAT ]

[VERSE 4 U.POET]
My Pain is my power 
I rise like a tower
my enemy devour 
spit bars like a shower 
I offer the truth 
and kill the coward 
I lead not follow 
a wolf not a sheep 
you can't control me 
and my inna beast 
always positive 
but still angry 
born to poverty 
but I fight to be free 
universal international M.C.

[CHORUS REPEAT ]

[SCRATCH BRIDGE]

Cast of Characters:
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Middle Eastern instruments (Duf Drum, Daire drum, Darbuka, Riq, Qanun, Zurna horn, Ney flute, strings), female vocal sample, 'ululation' (high pitch yodel), and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Custom fretless 5-string bass 
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – saz, shakuhachi, and synth

  Josh had the idea for doing a traditional Palestinian song, as he is an avid fan of their music. He wanted to raise awareness of this music and everyone in the band was immediately on board with this idea, and set about to make it happen. 
  Mark, who is an expert percussionist, learned a basic traditional Palestinian drum pattern, in a very authentic fashion. He laid it down, along with an Arabic sounding modal melody line portrayed by the quanun, which is a kind of zither. Josh found this pattern fascinating, and added his five string fretless bass to the it shortly after. Carl jumped in very shortly thereafter, and came up with some really amazing vocal melodies, as well as wonderfully prescient lyrics. He even learned more than several phrases in Arabic, which he sang in there, too. We were all very impressed by this, of course.
  JJ was next up, adding his magical, melodic, and exotic saz, shakuhachi, and synth to the mix. Ken threw in next, adding his perfectly timed brass and Chinese percussion to the mix, too. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen recorded his subtle, exotic, traditional sitar to the piece. 
  Once we had it all recorded, we turned it over to Mark for a mix, as the whole thing is really his baby. Stephen mastered it, though, as he is our resident professional producer.
  Our hope is that this song inspires you to dig into Palestinian music, and through that, you recognize the magic and the humanity of millions of Palestinian people who are suffering unimaginably right now. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

From Carl...
Music is our key to permanant peace on planet Earth in my view. If written thoughfully, it is our unimposing tool where we can share our different cultures like EC have done here to celebrate with our Palestinian friends stylistically the light of their music. I don't speak Arabic so I hope I don't offend anyone but I learned the Arabic as best as I could phonetically. It's done with the best of intentions . The eight Arabic lines are famous proverbs and show us how similarly all of our truths evolve from our hearts and souls

Peace and Love to everyone


Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Sisters and brothers
Daughters and Sons
We would give you food
But the road is blocked to sun
Proud Palestine
Brave brethren
Our hearts are with you
Our souls are weeping

Inhumane blockade of bread
Pains collective minds 
We want gone this dread
Let's find our kind
Please be strong
As we right this wrong
Hope prays that day will not be long

We pine with your God
To find a normal truth
Where your kids can grow and learn good youth
Sisters and Brothers
Daughters and Sons
We are with you Palestine
Sending love through song

The eye sees but the arm is short ( العين ترى والذراع قصيرة )

We are in the same boat ( نحن في نفس القارب )

Winds do not blow as the ships wish ( لا تهب الرياح كما تشاء السفن )

Being alone is better then being with someone bad (أن تكون وحيدا أفضل من أن تكون مع شخص سيء )

What is hidden is more then what has happened ( ما هو مخفي أكثر مما حدث )

Every problem has a solution ( لكل مشكلة حل )

Good intentions count for as much as good actions ( النوايا الحسنة لها نفس أهمية الأفعال الحسنة )

All is well that ends well ( كل شيء على ما يرام إذا انتهى بشكل جيد )
