Lyrics: 
When I live it one day at a time, life seems a little more free
I was never good at making much sense of the complicated things.
I want to be like a bird in the breeze, I want to live in the sassafras trees
I was never good at making much sense of the complicated things.
We are the anomaly - Nietzsche
Anybody questioning the common ideology
We are the words between the lines of every book
We are the way the future of the world looks.
Cryptic symbols, yes its a riddle
If you want to travel time you've got to find yourself a wrinkle. 
Sometimes I dont know what I'm talking about but I still want to sing
I was never good at making much sense of the complicated things
Maybe I've got birds in my head, well that's one good possibility,
I was never good at making much sense of the complicated things.
Upside down and I'm right side up
I never really know where I am going to end up
With one theory saying this - another saying that
I try to differentiate the fiction from the fact 
But I fail, more that I win
But hey now - its just a human thing.
Am I mistaken or is the fast lane overrated?
Forgive me saying, the simple life is the best way. 
I could come up with some obscure word or some long linguistic string
But I was never good at making much sense of the complicated things.
Cant you see I'm just a wanna be bird with some paper mache wings
I was never good at making much sense of the complicated things.

Banana Tree Vocal Production Notes

0:14  “I don’t have an official academic degree, but what I surely do know is the forest teaches people for free.” 

The vocals start out pretty high so they already cut through pretty well without too many effects. I added fairly heavy compression (8:1) to enhance the nuances of the lips/throat. I also added a sine wave flanger to give it the tremolo type feel. For those of you who use Ableton, the exact flanger parameters are High Pass: 138 Hz, Dry/Wet :31 percent, Delay Time: .40 ms, Feedback: .62, Envelope: 12%, LFO: 81% Sine wav, Rate: 1/12. I left the EQ flat except for boosts at 1.4 and 6 kHz. 

0:27 “Banana Tree”

The parameters here are the same as above(it’s the same take) except for the addition of some delay to give it more of a surreal feel. I also doubled the part and panned all the way to the right to build extra atmosphere.  

0:41 “Maybe I’m mistaken but the real world is whatever, its whatever that you want it to be. Feel the relaxation, life is a vacation if we all just had the courage to dream.”

This verse has the same effects as the first one except I removed the flanger  in order to give it that up close feel. I was also basically touching the microphone with my lips when I was singing and tried to portray a slightly different character for the sake of variation. The only other change is a cut in the lows because the take wasn’t as high pitched as earlier in the song. 

0:54 “Banana Tree” 
This banana tree has the same effects as the other one but it’s a different take. I also added a synth here to change things up a little bit. 

1:07 “You can say some words about the economics but I’d probably respond to you that that’s ironic cause we’ve all heard the story about the fisherman on the dock. A working man came up to him all criticizing and the fisherman ask the man what his job was. He replied: I’m just working so I finally can retire and fish.”

Here I have the highest vocal part centered and two lower harmonies panned about 20% to the left and the right. Heavy compression was added to all three parts plus the same eq as mentioned above. Any other effects would have made this part muddy. 

1:35 “Life is short, so live it good, and I’ll be right by your side. And when the going gets tough, cause sometimes it does, remember that it all will pass with time.” 

The drums go half time in the part to make it more of a breakdown. I added the flanger on the vocals again but this time its saw tooth and the high pass is at 411hz. There is also a slight ping pong delay and of course some compression. 

2:02 “Whats the definition, oh I’m on a mission to define what it means to be free. With a little intuition we’ll be in the right condition to create whatever we want to see.”

I think the alliteration is what makes this part stand out. I did some cutting on the word “Whats” as a lead in. Aside from the effects that I’ve used throughout the song, I also double this verse with the same take an octave lower. I used the pro mode (not complex pro) in ableton on the lowered take to give it that slowed down feel. I also added some overdrive and panned hard left. 

2:15 “Banana Tree”

Same effects as the second banana tree but its another take. I also warped the same take up an octave, added lots of delay and moved it over a measure.

2:29 “Now take me back to land again, yup Native Amercians, they really know how to live. I want to climb a banana tree, shout from sea to shining sea, yeah what a good good, what a good live this is.”
Again with this verse I added the octave lower effect with overdrive panned to the side. 

2:42 Final chorus but I didn’t add the banana tree vocal part because that would have been boring and honestly trashy  I used the stoppy piano part to leave room for the synths to stand out. 

3:00 End of song

That’s about it! Let me know if you have any questions. More production notes for other songs coming soon!

Will of God by Universal Mind

Lyrics:
Tell me something I have never heard
Breach the surface of the underground worlds

Tell me something:
Did they ever release the reason why the astronauts grow quiet when they reach the other side? The information always has a way of getting away from us when it crosses the other side.

Another revolution of the sun. But I would never know because I've been underground.

Lyrics:
December twenty -first age of Aquarius
AQUARIUS!!!
Redefine every part of your mind
And the Sun will guide you home
No matter where you are
December twenty-first age of Aquarius
AQUARIUS!!!!!
Redefine every part of your mind
The universe has not forgot us
This is a human product
Materialism - it is the glue to the system
It puts your brain in submission
It gets your brain in a schism
This is a human invention 
That got us all in detention

Chocolate on My Face Makes Me The King by Universal Mind

This is the first song i've ever done skat on. Let me know what you think!!

Lyrics:

When you first came - 
When you abducted me
Oh I thought it was going to be frightening
But you beamed me up
You beamed me high
At first I couldn't figure out why
But then you show to me your ways
And I became convinced
You showed to me the light
You called me a king!

Then there was a hurricane
And it came, and it came
And it swept me away
Where is it that I have gone off to now


Chocolate On My Face Makes Me The King

Universal Mind Feat. Parker 


Lyrics:
I took a trip to Venus
And now I want to stay
They were surprised to see me
But they already knew my name
Oh if earth only knew 
The love of Venus
Our evil ways would change.

I'm going transendental
But the first step is going mental
People always tell me that i've already lost my mind
Ooo I'm looking forward
Ooo I'm looking forward to the day I lose my mind and go to Venus!

Beep Beep Beep Beep
I even know the language of the....
Beep Beep Beep Beep


Looking Forward To The Day When I Completely Lose My Mind

Zombie (Universal Mind + P Dubs)

If I found a way to breath in space
Would you beam me up and let me join your race?
Because creative beings are scarce here down on earth
Oh I think its time, oh yeah, that i return

to my real home

In a dream
An ancient being
Came up to me and told me that there was more to see
And I - I thought about it
Again and again
Now I got thoughts of venus filling up my head
And outer space, it fills my brain
I'm thinking about Atlantis throughout every day
Come back to Atlantis where you can be free

The universe is spinning around in every direction
And I do not know which way is up or down
And when I look around
What do I See?

Where is the ground!?!
I'm on my way out now!

When we rid our life of material needs
When we feel compassion for other beings
When we start believing the unseen
They'll gladly raise up all our frequencies
Bring me back to

Real home, my real home

Come back to Atlantis where you can be free

The universe is spinning around in every direction
And I do not know which way is up or down
And when I look around
What do I See?

Where is the ground!?!
I'm on my way out now!

Atlantis (Universal Mind + Strange Operator)

Lyrics:
Oh Good People of The Sun,
Wont you fill my veins
With Venusian blood
And new DNA
Cause I'm feeling like a stray in my body here on Earth.

Venus flytrap
This is star trek
On a mission
Got a vision
Dont believe in combat
Dont know how to fly this thing
I'm pushing buttons till we reach
Destination unknown
Destination mind blown.

Goodbye sunlight
Hello star skies
traveling the speed of light
see you when I stop time
Oh I'm running low on fuel
Is this the end, is this the truth?

I'm locked out
On a planet all my own
Its my birthday and I'm sitting here
Kicking a stone at the moon
Hoping it will notice me.
Waiving at Venus
Hoping somebody notices me....

My introduction is as follows:
Zeus and Apollo
They are my people
We're like church and steeple
I'm The Universal Mind
I'll never slip your side
Yeah I'll be with you all the time
To give you peace of mind
Oh I am here
Transmitting words from Venus
Earth is out of season
Use a little reason
Oh im running out of fuel
Is this the end, is this the truth?

The disappearance of the Earth
Is coming real soon
The solar eclipse
The sun against the moon.
