Wonderful album and sensational track, entering a parallel dimension, beautiful song.

It’s givin calm yet another thing I can’t really explain it, one of the best I’ve heard so far! Keep up! 👍🏻

Wonderful track and such nice vocals. Awesome work!

Sadly, as relevant as it was 10 years ago.  Only yesterday, a football fan was arrested for racially abusing a player.  Will they never get it?  We are all the same, we are all the same, we are all the fecking same!  Beautiful song....keep on saying it, brother

simple message beautifully delivered  with an  ambitious expansive sound...

Original sound, good tune -- only issue is reverb making lyrics hard to decipher a lot of the time.

Lately I've been soaking up dub/neo-dub music thanks to @jonauversen and somehow it had to come out of me ;) A lot help with it I've received from @spitfire-labs and their amazing free LABS library Trumpet Fields which was the main impulse that this song was created at all.

Lyrics:

I go to a movie and all I see is you
I move to an island cause all I want is you

The lonely hours keep bringing me back to you
I'll keep bringing you flowers cause the colors remind me of you

I see crystal waters that only wave to you
A new sensation how can this be true?

The lonely hours keep bringing me back to you
I'll keep bringing you flowers cause the colors remind me of you

I'll keep, I'll keep holding, holding you near.....

The Lonely Hours

Galileo's telescopic observation of the moons of Jupiter orbiting the planet  was a black swan moment for the Church's earth centred view of the universe. As ever those whose long held beliefs were challenged by the facts did not react well. Plus ca change.

But Still it Moves (John Stone)

Galileo Galileii stood before the court 
Accused of breaking sacred law
In what he said and what he thought  
They told him God had made us the centre of all things
The earth stood still, The universe
revolves around in perfect spheres and rings.

But he had seen the moons of Jupiter
Sailing through the void
And knew at once religious law
Had forever been destroyed
The power of observation
Proved the earth went round the sun
And we were not the centre of all things
as we were told we had become.

The Bishops and the Cardinals
Were outraged by the thought
That places held by God and man
Were not what they had always taught,
They forced a recantation of his controversial views
But as they dragged him from the court
He cried,“But still it moves”

Still it moves, Still it moves
But still the earth goes round the sun
Whatever you can make me say
A truth once known can’t be undone
So forget your old religions
And new ideologies
Truth is truth and only truth will I let speak to me
And still it moves… 

We’d like to think we’ve come some way 
Since those unenlightened days
But look around and count the things 
you know but are afraid to say 
In pain of media pile-ons 
And News that’s always fake 
And Those who are inclined to say 
That hate is truth and truth is hate 

It may not seem important  
But it still seems plain to me 
If you’re not allowed to speak the truth 
Then you’re no longer free 
So when they try to shout you down 
With the crazy things they say 
Remember Galileo
When he once dared to say
Still it moves…

But Still It Moves

Why go beyond this face 
To no longer replace and only embrace this soul
It kinda likes it…
You’ll find it might fit...

You can’t grow while running from this
Down clenching your fist,
Your hot head is too mystical
Look for the light switch
Turn on your life with it

Light up the other side
Light up the other side
I wonder when your rem you really find your six feet ten
I wonder
Your walking thunder
So bright eyed
You ponder why
Every inch of you really touches the sky
There’s no need to wonder when your rem
There really are no limits man
I’m under your walking thunder

I know to look to this place
Search every last little trace
Find why all’s interlaced with the cold
Look for the light switch
Turn on your life with it.


Light up the other side
Light up the other side
I wonder when your rem you really find your six feet ten
I wonder
Your walking thunder
So bright eyed
You ponder why
Every inch of you really touches the sky
There’s no need to wonder when your rem
there really are no limits man
I’m under your walking thunder

📜The Other Side

Written 2014

This song explorers the scourge of racism on Earth. Different amounts of melanin in our skin is really the only difference! So this 'lights a torch' for the 'other shades, the hues'. People of different colour skin! We're all the furking same. The Magic slur is when Magic Johnston had to deal with a biggited NBA team owner. the good Dani let's eat... Dani Alves picked up and ate a banana that was thrown from the stands. the racist gesture is meant to suggest some humans were monkeys on the pitch. Dani Alves stood up and was counted for that moment.

apparently the amount of melanin changes Iver time in our skin depending how long our decendants have stayed in those locales with different amounts of light getting there. That's it! apart from that we all shit piss and whine

A magic slur,
This  biggot must go!
It seems he don’t like ‘em too dark,
All monkeys roam free.
The Sun, relatively!
In this mercury mould a banana thrown.
It seems these don’t like em too dark,
Good Dani, Let’s eat!
All colours seep just melanin skin deep.
All colours leak just melanin
Why oh why do you take just your side
Won’t you learn that you’re no different.
Living with how the past framed their thinking…
Why oh why? Won’t you learn?

Let it rain
Pave the way
With Luther light
We learn tonight
You want the truth.
If this sits loose with you.
Oh what to tell our youth…
Here’s a clue!
How much melanin in you
How much melanin in you
Fight for the force
All of our human sects in tune
Light a torch for the other shades,
The hues…
How much melanin in you
How much melanin in you
Fight for the force
For all of our human sects in tune
Light a torch for the other shades,
The hues…
How much melanin in you
How much melanin in you
Fight for ‘the force’
All of our human sects in tune
Light a torch for the other shades,
The hues…

	“Sweet land of liberty at thee I say…”

Let freedom reign
I'm on my father's side
Let freedom reign
This land is for the children's pride
Let freedom reign
I'm on my father's side
Let freedom reign
This land is for the children's pride

The photo used in this tune is my actual wall in an old apartment I lived in. I had started fully using hard drives so ze CDs went on the wall in the shape of a head with a line of them also making a wave through it... Awww miss the old physical albums but sure we're spoiled now with detail

Colour me in
Fill in your own meaning
Welcome the world after the wonderful you
As you’re winding your time
And fine tuning your chime
You’ll be binding those binds 
And finding life’s fine.

Covered in sin
I let the werewolf win.
This strenght straddles the world
No further fools.

As your winding your time
And fine tuning your chime
Who’ll be binding those binds 
And finding life’s fine.

Colour me in.
Colour your sin
Two minutes tamed time
Now the fear is thin

The shivers in this song refer to the rush of a feeling you get through your back and body when some idea or someone has inspired you. A flow of nerve energy I suppose. I associate relating these feelings to reading shaman texts in my late teens and early twenties and when I was first going.... What the fuck is that? Those words gave a solid answer back then for me 🌿🌎

When the world wakes up from fear I believe we will revisit all these old cultures ways of life and truly embrace the truths we may have missed. There was possibly a less insular approach to imaging their own existence back then. Found, inside each of us and discovered in maybe a simplicity muted by the noise of the modern world.

Lyrics

Some shiver should sharpen this world.
We’re putting shape to the shamans soul 
Aligning old paradiso
These inner movements in you

Each shiver comes raising your game
Fruit truths trapeez to being again
They  align what the sorcerer say
Shiver inner movements in me

Hold me close
That me is you
An inner party of proofs
Yearning for your truce

Let me know
Of your fears or your foe
Gotta talk to that soul
Shiver inner movements in all

The shaman shiver
Gifts your shine deliver
Emotive river
Feel the shaman shiver
The spirits spine
Good quiver
Ease wisdom hither

The Shaman Shiver

This is my bro's favourite song of mine. He's my best friend


We're keeping it real...
Where could we go?
I know!
I can only be me
You can only be you
For each just one vision
Their life long live tv
Be gone superstition
Truth to keep this life real

Ahh oh
Ohhh oh
Ahh oh
Ohhh ohhhhhh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah haha oh

If your highest values are still Romes imagined lies
Then your God is a lie
They have these mind diets and false beliefs
To control the eyes of the weak

But this is modern life
And we have real visionaries
Who gobble up ologies
The passed soul
Philosophise be a plato
The truth in time answers infinitly
This evolutionary rhyme where hope springs discovery
The perfect solutions
Intellect to all sentient beings
The final freedom of our inner liberty
Some day they’ll realise how the truth can free
Some soldered light born in string theory
The strings of you and all the beauty bowed all through

Ahh oh
Ohhh oh
Ahh oh
Ohhh ohhhhhh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah haha oh

We're keeping it real

Keep It Real

Howdy,

Welcome to TBD.

All these creations are made by hard work and years upon years upon years of practice and trying to explain this world and the human condition to myself in the process through poems & songs.

Thanks for all of your wonderful support.

Peace and Love to Everyone,
