Well, I was summoned back from an extended vacation by the Archangel to contribute to this track. Wonderful working with you again, Gabriel, and thanks for getting in touch with me. Your production on this is absolute class! https://soundcloud.com/vangabriel

I was about 14 years old when Pravinand played me a couple of songs he had written. He was probably finishing Secondary School. I remember being impressed that he was writing his own songs. We became close friends, wrote songs together, recorded tons of material, got involved in socio-political activities together, and even became related. This brings back the old days for me – always great stirring the magic pot with you, Pravinand! https://soundcloud.com/johnny-minstrel

Burning Tree (Pravinand Maharaj)

What fire’s this?
No smoke no burn
Whose voice it speaks?
So loud, so stern
Neath the burning tree

What does it say?
What can you hear?
Kneel down and pray
Till the thunder rolls clear
From the burning tree

Chorus:
I am, I am
Though my face you can’t see
I am, I am
And I will always be

What must you do?
You hear people cry
Who’ll go with you?
Set the captives free to fly
From the burning tree

Who can change the aimless
A sated man won’t feed
Who can name the Nameless
On every tongue
Calling from your need

Angels / Your Love (feat. BJ The Chicago Kid)

Time is right:

It’s usually a source of immense frustration that it takes me years to finish anything but for this song it actually helped. I started writing this in 2014 whilst shamelessly grumpy and sauntering around in relationship blues. I was about to start a new job and as such thought I was the bees knees and too much of a kingpin for relationships to get in my way. Little did I know. Turns out the relationship was a keeper and the job would take the backseat. I was right however about us “soon to be riding a wave”; safe to say my Ruth and I have been riding it together ever since. 

Lyrics:

About time for a little laughter, soon to be riding a wave. Seems we joke around only when we have to. All I seek is a sense of place, in my heart, in my hope and in my ways. Sure I’d like to spend a little time sitting in the tree tops when the mood is right, time is right. Sure I’d like the feeling of the sun sitting on my love-nest when the mood is right, time is right. I’m out of luck, got any to offer? Asked my friend in the rain. He gave his advice; told me to take shelter. Cause all he seeks is a sense of place, in his heart, in his hope, in his ways. Sure he’d like to spend a little time sitting in the tree tops when the mood is right, time is right. Sure he’d like the feeling of the sun sitting on my love-nest when the mood is right, time is right. And if you catch a glimpse of mine up and away to the trees I’ll climb and when I’m stealing honey from the bees. In my heart in my hope I’ll agree. Yes I like to spend a little time sitting in the tree tops now the mood is right, time is right. Yes I love the feeling of the sun sitting on my love-nest now the mood is right, time is right. (May 2017)

Morning, 
Clambers, enshrouds, 
Scatters, 
Turns you to clouds.

And so my cold hands
Thank the skies you signed, 
Aren't judged by every word
That I could not find, 
Are coming home. 

Coming home.

HiLo (feat. Armors)

Latin was my first love, and music is my second. I've utterly fallen for those of the soulful, creative, inspiring and inciting kind. The one composed with heart and soul, the one performed with passion and aplomb. Searching for a way to express my love for and enthusiasm about music, I've found twitter is a decent and effective place to do so, yet given my wordy nature 140 characters one day simply didn't suffice to promote the music I enjoy anymore. This is how my music blog - carpe carmina - came into being (a heartfelt thank-you goes out to my favourite UK band High/Low for the encouragement to start writing about music, to my all time favourite band for so many years by now, Midnight Hour, for making me realize my affection for music and my wish to help those artists in whose talent I believe in, and to all those people who read my blog, who recommend and submit music for it). Find me under @NessiHolt on twitter and make sure to listen to @RadioKC to catch a playlist of mine each tuesday at 10pm (UK). Listen to Radio Kaos Caribou, Dr. Bones music show and Dave Monk's BBC Introducing Merseyside in general. It's worth it, it's where I - among others - find the music I eventually embossom.
