Everybody Knows (Prayer is Free) 🎻 🎼 FLOWsutra Cello Freedom Magic Indie Folk Song 🕊️🪄✨

Every ​⁠@bananasutra song is a humble pep talk (at least to myself;), an agnostic prayer of sorts—this one was inspired by #leonardcohen #peace #poetry minus #theirony (bc I’m nowhere as cool as Leonard ;)

“Everybody Knows” Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Can we forget the foolishness, just for tonight?
Can we forget the hatred, step into the light?
Can we set it all down, hold each other tight?

[Chorus]
‘Cause everybody knows we can’t fight hate with more hatred,
Everybody knows we can’t win love with fear,
Everybody knows we can’t cure pain with vengeance,
Everybody knows we won’t find truth if we’re insincere.

[Verse 2]
Can we forgive the drama, give each other grace?
Can we release the dogma, let it find its place?
Can we heal the trauma, start a new embrace?

[Chorus]
‘Cause everybody knows we can’t beat fire with fire,
Everybody knows we can’t lift chains with chains,
Everybody knows we can’t find peace with anger,
Everybody knows we won’t heal wounds with blame.

[Verse 3]
Can we silence the noise, just one quiet night?
Can we look past our faults, give up the fight?
Can we let it go, step into the light?

[Chorus]
’Cause everybody knows we can’t crush fear with more fear,
Everybody knows we can’t make joy from lies,
Everybody knows that the answer’s in kindness,
Everybody knows we’ll fall if we never rise.

[Outro]
Yeah, everybody knows… but does anyone care?
Everybody talks, but is anyone there?
Everybody’s waiting, but will anyone dare?
Everybody knows… but only love can repair.

Everybody Knows • FLOWsutra Freedom Magic Cello Prayer INDIE.wav

I use sound as a way to express my healing process, accept reality, and find beauty in life's unpredictability. In its raw and unfiltered form, sound serves as a powerful medium for conveying the complex emotions I experience while navigating life's chaos and uncertainty. By embracing disharmony and unexpected shifts in my music, I am not only accepting reality as it is, but also transforming it into something meaningful and intimate for me. This creates a space where vulnerability and acceptance coexist, allowing me to find love and beauty in the imperfect and even the disturbing.

An infectious blend of charming pop and introspective folk, Kuhzoo was written and recorded in fleeting moments between tours in bedrooms, churches, basements, and cold hallways around the midwest. It was made possible by Bella Ruse's generous fans, who pre-ordered the record on Kickstarter.com

The Vaccines - That Summer Feeling

deadlines
death threats
i wanna be where the common people are
deadlines
death threats
i wanna be up in the stars

you can fly
you can fly

you and your mysteries
botched toxicologies
you've been hard just thinkin bout the dream
i set out with a match
hopin for a heart attack
lighting fuses
clogging every stream

you can fly
you can fly
you can fly
you can fly

dont look down until you die

you caught the illness too
love in the afternoon
we stayed up 24 hours
pullin up our roots n flowers

drive me up a wall
dressed up like a doll
on the front line of the war
we'll sink before we fall

you can fly
you can fly
you can fly
you can fly

pullin up our roots and flowers

you can fly

You Can Fly

Lyrics:
(humming)
You light up my life even when it’s dark 
You color my world even when I’m feeling blue 
I can’t believe this is happening to me 
But I, I feel alive because of you 

You lift me up when I’m feeling low 
You kept me sane when I had no control 
I can’t believe this has happened to me 
But I, I feel alive because of you 

I...
ooooh I....
oooooh oooh 
I feel alive
Because of... 

When I’m with you I never feel alone 
(Never feel alone) 
When you hold me baby I feel at home 
(I feel at home) 
I can’t believe this has happened to me 
But I, I feel alive because of you 

I...
oooooh I...
oooh oooh....
I feel alive... 
(humming) 

You light up my life even when it’s dark 
I feel alive because of... 
because of...
(Humming)
