White Gourd - Teal Sun
05:42
|
|
||
|
Song Notes:
The very moment the Sun rises from Water seems an eternity, a stand-still, the Summer, a solstice. The outward golden hue of Sun potential, basking in this glow, as well as the inevitable return to inward Shadow/Night, the Winter, the solstice held with the other hand, is held in this vast moment.

Dye my eyes in the solar skies, I can't be here. All that's left is to save our breath, and embrace our fear. Dry my lies in the solar skies, and pretend I'm nearI call you out, and I force a shout, oh its all so clear
Solar skies turnaround, and make me understand, why there's no rain coming down.
Learn my screams on your bended knees, they will cause you tearsBurn like leaves on them flaming trees, in their final yearsA warm disease haunts the open seas, I will call it here Open my mind for the final time, oh its all so clear.
Solar skies turnaround, and make me understand, why there's no rain coming down.

Pomes - Gotta Go Get
02:12
|
|

We are not free, until we're all free. Gotta go get, or I'm gonna get got.
Gotta go see my needs met, gotta go get my feet wet, gotta go tell my secret, gotta go write my regrets, gotta go sell my favorite, gotta try not to forget, gotta go get.
Gotta go send my skin to the ferrymen, been wonderin about all my kin, when we gonna win? I gotta about a 10, gotta go find some zen, gotta buy it now, before its another sin, gotta go get buying before they're out of it.
Gotta go get, or I'm gonna get got. Gonna get got alot, or its gonna rot, gotta serve my needs, gonna get got alot, and still crying for more.

Song Notes:
A warm Sunday morning before church, as people begin to gather. It could've been last week or last century, because some harmonies fall timelessly on black skin.

they picked the cotton that saved the world. that picked cotton propelled u.s. economy; a unique capitalist setup. (though anglo saxon colonizers are not unique.) so many pop stars and hip hop billboard mainstays trumpet u.s. capitalism ad nauseam; or escapism & distraction. "Don't Die," also powerful. "i don't believe they lies. don't believe their truth, need they heads for proof" -- that's direct and powerful. the violinist Saydah Ruz stands out here, i think.
