On July 29th at 5:29 am,
The gadget turned the pre-dawn sky as bright as the sun,
as the first atomic mushroom cloud rose above the horizon.
We knew the world would not be the same...
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita…
Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty.
And to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita.
"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Note from Cynthia :
The quote in Beyond Skin is J. Robert Oppenheimer describing his and his team's
reaction to the Trinity Experiments (the first explosion of an atomic bomb)
Oppenheimer was the man in charge of the Manhattan Project (the building
of the atomic bomb during WWII).
He later came to oppose the development of the hydrogen bomb, and perhaps his
part in the Manhattan Project.
Prophesy
Sunset
If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set the sun
If I could set the sun
Keep moving
Keep changing
Keep flowing like the sun
Rivers rise
Oceans rise
People rise with the sun
If I were never to leave here
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set with the sun
If I could set with the sun
Tears falling
Rain falling
Leaves are falling like the sun
Lands drifting
Seas drifting
Worlds drifting with the sun
If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set with the sunset, say it ...
If I
Never to leave here
If I
Always alone
If I
Oceans rise
Rivers rise
People rise
With the sun
Oceans rise
Rivers rise
People rise
With the sun

Nothing
Nothing new left to say
Can't be heard
Nothing helps me find my way
Empty words
No more will I question why
What we feel
Nothing left to make me try
Nothing's real
Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me
If my nothing here resides
Inside me
I have nothing left to hide
Could be free
No more clinging to this world
Nothing here
Insecurity unfolds
No more fear
Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing
No more fear
No one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me
Feeling cuts me like a knife
And who's to say
If with everything in life
Find our way
In this nothing I have found
Nothing more
But in the space inside my mind
I open doors
Doors
Just no one
Open doors
Nothing
Open doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing hides
Nothing More
Feeling cuts me like a knife
And who's to say
If with everything in life
Find our way
In this nothing I have found
Nothing more
But in the space inside my mind
I open doors
Doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing
Open doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing hides

Moonrise

Não fique triste
Quando eu me apagar
Vais partir da vida escura
Veja a lua
Veja a lua subindo
Tomando o seu lugar
Ondas de tristeza
Para apre
Para apreciar
E assim um dia,
Uma novela de paz
Uma tempestade que trata as dores
Não despede um futuro
Que ainda pode ser
Os olhos no escuro
Ainda podem
Ainda podem ver

Don't be sad
When I fade away
You'll leave the dark life
See the moon
See the moon rise
Taking your place
Waves of sadness
For enj...
For enjoying...
And thus one day
A novel of peace
A storm that treats the pains
Doesn't fire a future
That still can be
The eyes in the darkness
They still can
They still can see

Street Guru
(Part 1)
Jeff Jacob :
They've been incorporated their cultures and their values in the cities
And they've
enriched the city
Both like from a, you know work ethic and you know the restaurants and the music
and it's really a diverse city
I mean you walk down divison Avenue, you know you go through Korean
neighborhood,
Old Jewish neighborhood, Arabic neighborhood, uh, Pakistani-Indian
neighborhood.
It's incredible. The intensity...
I think yeah, development has pushed us away from other people
You know a lot of times people are rude because they want like immediate access
or immediate information.
You know some things in life can't be immediate, sometimes you gotta wait and
let things happen...
People are like, are increasingly rude. Like I'll say like somebody will get in a
cab and I'll say "I'll get em there in 5 minutes."
And theysay, "Well, it should only take 3." Now who gives a shit if it takes
5 minutes or 3 minutes, who cares?
At the end of your life nobody's gonna put at your tombstone "shit I got
there in a
cab in fucking seven minutes instead of three".
You know, It doesn't matter, and technology has made us slaves to time.
Naw, a lot of people that really have technical jobs, they're slaves to
time.
And time is the essence of life it seems like and they're basically like losing
it
They're losing the essence of their life because, you know, life is like just
going away and
They're not enjoying it because they're so engrossed in efficiency and
productivity and shit like that.
That it's almost sad.
They all come here from somewhere else like seeking their fame and fortune or
the top jobs in their, you know, in their industries.
They get very engrossed in it, and then they get in to these cell phones and
computers and...
I think the real important things in life are you know, people and your family.
I think you don't realize that, a lot of people don't realize that until they're
older.
I think there's gonna be a backlash against technology.

Developed
Mandawuy Yunupingu :
Aboriginal Australians should be able to, uh,
Keep their culture together by using, exercising all these elements of today's
reality.
And that reality is development.
And that, that development um, I would think is the way it should be right.
Not something that is put upon us, or forced down our throats.
You and I know that music is universal language.
And it doesn't have any prejudice., has one of thinking.
Without prejudice, without prejudice, without prejudice...

Walk Away
Nina Rocha Miranda :
Walk away
Heavy are the footsteps drawn across the glade
Flew all night, couldn't get in
It rained all night, I was soaked to the skin
Walk away
Heavy are the footsteps drawn across the glade
Watch my breath turn into steam
Soft as eyes grow dim
Walk away
Heavy are the footsteps drawn across the glade
Let her in, let her in
It was warm inside
Walk away
Heavy are the footsteps drawn across the glade
???
Flickers, flickers, flickers of light
Walk away
Heavy are the footsteps drawn across the glade

Cold & Intimate
You see me walk
You see me fall
You touch the tears upon my face
I taste your words
I smell your fear
I feel your bitter sweet embrace
Nothing mentioned, nothing gained
You're here and then your gone
Your complications keep me sane
We're cold and intimate
I watch the news
I hear your words
I smell the lies beneath your smile
You hesitate, you deviate
From pictures filled with silence
Nothing mentioned, nothing gained
We're here and then we're gone
A simple world appears insane
But we're cold and intimate
We search within
We search without
We search the corners of our minds
We play our lives
Deceive the friends
We taste the fruit of our own lies
Pointless ventures and escapes
We were nowhere at all
Nothing in this world could change
Only cold and intimate

You see me walk
You see me fall
You touch the tears upon my face
I think there's gonna be a backlash against technology.
You know, and I don't know what's gonna cause it.
I hope it won't be any environmental disaster shit, you know, for sure for my
kids I want them to have a better life not so much materially but I want a peaceful life.
You know sometimes it's good just to go in the woods and just go hikin', and get
back in touch with yourself and nature.
You know, then you come back here and you'll realize this is like a ludicrous,
all this emphasis on technology
Fifty different internet devices and
shit, internet devices you can put in your pocket.
Sometimes I feel threatened by it but you know, that's the future and I am a man
of the past,
You know, I'm a, I'm a low-tech man in a hi-tech world. I mean, it's a fact
man.
I'm a low-tech man in a hi-tech world there ain't shit I can do about it
because,
You know, the world's changing and I'm not and you know, maybe I don't wanna
change.
Maybe the people I associate with are like me.
You know...
What's going on, we can't use our brains?
It's just being a person,
You know, it's being a fucking person man...

Ripping Out Tears

Breaker breaker 1 9 in a world fillled with crime
They got the 9 to my spine no time to recline
Sip wine relax and unwind
Time is running out
I'm trying to keep all hope alive
Prisnor of the job
My 9 to 5 is the hustle and survive
Born to die and survive at the same time
I've got to analyze what lies beneath genocide
What happened to the freedom ride
Increase the murder rate by suicide
Hey yo governer
Sometimes you think we were born to rot on the block
So many got shot over rocks
While the neighborhood watch the cops that shot
Hope somebody's listening
The 9 to 5ers' eyes glistering
Whenever mentioning it on the danger's slipping in
Man this world is tripping
Makes me want to sin again
Yo, money sex and religion
You got us all standing like stool pigeons
I can't take it
Man I'm fully clothed and I feel naked
Walking through the streets of death
Yo man gotta watch the left though
Man, that's what I'm saying
Oh no, it's like some devilish shit
It's like who's making all these pots
Who wants to see us all rot
I don't know but the shit is sick
It's like a disease trick please
I can't take it man...
I can't take it damn...
I can't take it man...
I can't take it...
Damn...

Yo what a lady got to do
Got to come through shake that ass to get revenue
Man my mother never knew, never had a clue
What this ill game will do
I'm trapped in this rap life living in
Man, everyday I'm giving it up to God 'cause he made this
I don't know, trying to be famous
Man just shooting up
You wonder why you stay looting up
For the front line
Man gotta speak up your mind
Man griddling
Got the kids minds griddling
Man this shit is just simple and
I can't understand all these demons man
Man griddling
Got the kids minds griddling
Man this shit is just simple and
I can't understand all these demons man
Cold killing blood stay spilling
These streets is revealing
Yo get these last days, man
Trapped in this worldly maze
Looking like, man, X was just a phase
Now I'm back to my weed smoking days
Don't let it fuck with your brain
Don't let it ease through the pain and maintain
A lot of drug abuse
A lot of prostitutes
A lot of people dying for the loot
A lot of people barely got a roof
A lot of people barely know the truth
I'm like this
Ain't no stoppin' me the Prophesy

Human
The river
Hum aa hi gaye
(What do we do in these crazy times)
Inside, outside, I can feel it in my mind
In the ocean and the river
I can feel it in the tide
And all day, all night, in the rithim of the city
From the dusk to the dawn I can feel it flowing in me
Down by the river
Life flowing deeper
Tide growing stronger
No, you can't hold, can't hold the river
Hum aa hi gaye (freedom was inhaled)
Inside my head I can hear it talking to me
Like the river to the ocean
I can feel it growing in me
And all day, all night, in the rhythm of the city
From the dusk to the dawn I can feel it flowing through me and
Down by the river
Life flowing deeper
Tide growing stronger
No, you can't hold, can't hold the river
Hum aa hi gaye (freedom was inhaled)
Inside, outside, I can feel it in my mind
In the ocean and the river

And all day, all night in the rhythm of the city
From the dusk to the dawn I can feel it growing in me

Life flowing deeper
Tide growing stronger
No, you can't hold, can't hold the river
River, river flowing with the tide
River, river flowing with the tide

Eastern eyes
(feat. Natacha Atlas)
For the eastern eyes of a life
reborn
Under western skies of a broken dawn
In the first embrace of a haunted smile
From the hopeful eyes of an alien child
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way
I have come to find my way
In the burning sheets of a labour's pain
Through the sweat of a night and the summer rain
In the cry of birth and the death of fear
Through the hope of life and the joy of tears
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way
I have come to find my way
I have come to find my way
From the tainted screen of a virgin mind
And the tear stained face of a haunted kind
From the shade of death and the pain of life
From the heedless blade of a surgeon's knife
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way

Say Hello
I knew you needed a friend
I knew you needed some blue skies
You need some laughter again
'Til magic returns to your blue eyes
You're lost in the circle of pain
Where's it all going
Each day is the same
Where are you going
Say hello
Say hello
You're never alone
Something inside of yourself
When darkness approaches your silence
Freedom's forgotten her name
Nothing makes sense you don't complain
Everything started to fall
Where's it all going
Can't make any sense of it all
Where am I going
Say hello
Say hello
You're never alone

Falling Angels
There's a time for grown up boys
To make a mess of pretty things
To lose yourself and find
A peace in your goodbye
I lost my faith in you
To distant dreams of truth
Nothing here redeems me
No angels to release me
I dream of falling angels
I dream of falling angels
Touching me...
The shadows bury me
In rusty memories
Hopes fall inside
My angels cold goodbyes
You lost that photo-album smile
To memory's faded, faded, faded, faded child
I dream of falling angels
I dream of falling angels
Touching me...
*** Thanx a lot to

Falling
(feat. Aqualung)
Some day the wind will change and you
will see me clearly
One day these dreams of mine will bring me to my time
Some day i will become what I am meant to be coming to
One day but that's a million some days from today
Lately the sunshine makes a different shape around
Lately my music has a different sound to show me
Lately I ask questions of the world but no one is listening
Tell me when i go to sleep what will the morning bring me?
Falling, falling, falling, or am I flying?
Flying, flying, flying, or am I falling?

collide

Promise
Lately, lately I've seen you in your dream
Lost in a clouded mind
Held down by all the things that seem so real
The world you can't leave behind
You've made all of the money you could spend
You're begging for something more
Behind the prison tou call your home my friends
The light in the endless dark
Lately, you followed your fears under the bed
You fell for a hundred years
Into the arms of a wounded melody
The promise that love's still here
You held the cynical world like God's bruised fruit
Dropped from a sacred tree
Besides the enemy we fought all these years
The stories of you and me
So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we've ran our whole life
Foregoing the sweetest view
There's a buzz like a lightbulb up to our ear
Promise that love's still here
Re-trace your steps in the snow to find your friend
'Cause childhood melt so fast
Big dreams, the future you taste on summer's tongue
Having it just won't last
Right here, we've all got the answer in our heart
If we could just let that go
Lifetimes of beautiful Sunday church bell girls
And junkies upon the floor
So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we've ran our whole life
Foregoing the sweetest view
We could argue forever and ever, be clear
The promise that love's still here
And for forever and ever and ever we find that we've ran our whole life
Foregoing the sacred view
There's a buzz like a lightbuld up to our ear
The promise that love's still here
The promise that love's still here
The promise that love's still here
The promise that love's still here

Translation :
I have lived life until now to the height of
enjoyment
My physical body accompanied by a conscious mind
Endless desires swirl outside of me
HE is also taking me along his cosmic path giving me experience of seeing,
hearing, tasting, smelling and feeling
I feel content while sleeping, crying, laughing, eating and drinking
Day and night I think that there must be some purpose to this life
I have come to understand joy and sorrow due to lust, anger, greed, attachment
and ego
I have started to think about what is the characteristic wont of life and about
what is the uncharacteristic wont of life,
about what is benevolent use of mind and words and what is harmful use of mind
and words
and about what is sin and what is virtue
Thus no more desire or expectation for past, present or future remains with me
My mind has gone beyond past, present and future and beyond the rational
intellect of imagination
I see that I am beyond birth and death and am enjoying mind in a state of
samadhi

Rainfall
Rainfall, rainfall
Rainfall, rainfall
I'd like to know what's going on
In this world we're living on
There's so much poverty
All around me
This insanity
That surrounds me
Distant worlds seem so far away
People's lives, changing every day
Oh no, I can hear the rain fall
I can hear the rain
I can hear the rain fall
I can hear the rain
I'd like to know when you and I
Will stop walking and passing by
So much ignorance
That my eyes see
My experience
Cannot blind me
Distant worlds seem so far from here
Seasons change, and the rain is near
Oh no, I can hear the rain fall
I can hear the rain
Can you 'cause I can hear the rain fall
Can you, I can hear the rain
I'd like to find a new reality
Something more than this fantasy
No more false dreams
No more mind games
I can't even see
Through this dark rain
Distant worlds seem so far away
People's lives, changing every day
Oh no, I can hear the rain fall
Waiting (O Mistress Mine)
Oh mistress mine
Where are you roaming
Oh stay and hear
Your true loves coming
That can sing both high and low
Trip no further pretty sweeting
Journeys end in lovers meeting
Every wise mans son doth know
What comes now has gone tomorrow
Present smiles are full of sorrow
But I see you in my mind
From the shadows of my memory
I can feel you walking near me
And I�m waiting for the rain to fall
Dust from your eyes
Angels are falling
From distant fears
Your cold heart's beating
I can see you in the dark
Or the flicker of a daydream
From the edge of silent tears
I remember and I smile
What is love?
Tis not here-after
Present mirth
Hath present laughter
What's to come is still unsure
In delay there lies no plenty
Then come kiss me sweet and twenty
Youths a stuff twill not endure

You've blown me away, I can hardly speak
Stolen my silence, scattered my peace
I'm lost in the dark, mislaid my spark
Memories of you fading into the past
To keep you inside freeze your kiss so it lasts
In the shadow of your light
I live my days like they were nights
With a mouth full of stars I trip over my feet
You've blown me away, I can hardly speak
Stolen my silence, scattered my peace
I'm lost in the dark, mislaid my spark
All the space that you need and the silence you plead
I've thrown them away cause your signs I can't read
Forgotten thrills in the sudden chills
Frozen air surrounds your eyes
With a mouth full of stars I trip over my feet
You've blown me away, I can hardly speak
Stolen my silence, scattered my peace
I'm lost in the dark, mislaid my spark

Journey
Every now and then
I fall into deep thought and self-examination
Figuring out
If I really belong in this world
Who am I
What was I born to live
Will I succeed
Or will I fall short
Of my dreams
I know I've got to find a way to
move on
Yeah, to a place where I can be stronger
On a journey
Deeper inside
On a journey
Deeper inside my mind
I know I've got to find a way to move on
Got to move on
To a place where I can be stronger
Stronger
Stornger
Stronger
Stronger
I'm on a journey
Deep inside my mind
To see if I can find
The answers to all the questions
I've been asking myself
For a long time
A long time
A long time
For a long time
I'm on a journey
Deep inside my mind
To see if I can find
The answers to all the questions

Kyun kaali raaton ke pat parr
Rang chhidakta hai din karr
Haan paa kar tumko saajan mere
Kyun zoom utha mera kan kan

Naach raha tan man saara
Gunje sargam payal chalkara

Songbird
Why is the cuckoo humming in the autumn
defoliation
And the clouds of rain is moving in the sky
In the time of meeting with the lover
Why is the season changing untimely
Why on the brim of these dark nights
Sprinkling the colour so lavishly
Yes, by having you, my sweetheart
Why is each of my minute particle swinging in ecstasy
Listen up dear, why is this mind so intoxicated
My every bit of the body and mind is dancing
Listen up dear, why is this mind so intoxicated
Your association is musical
Why is the season changing untimely
Why is the season changing untimely
Why is the season changing untimely |
Noches En
Vela (Part 1)
( featuring Ojos De Brujo )

Crece canela entre tus acai y los mios
Metales nobles que se funden con ritmo y sabor
Hay rumbita buena, pa' todas las horas del día
Noches en vela, hoguera, serená y amor sin condición
Trayendo flores voy, buscando amores
En este mundo a veces oscuro, inexplicable
Ay, trayendo flores frescas más, a veces negras
Como en la cuna de los que compran miseria
Labra camino, semilla que encuentres siembra
Recoge frutos que no mucho alimentan
Hay tempestades que recogerán tormentas
Tú sigue, sigue camino, ay semilla que encuentres siembra
Crece canela entre tus sacas y los mios
Metales nobles que se funden con ritmo y sabor
|
Cinnamon grows between your bags and mine
Noble metals that melt with rhythm and taste
There's some nice rhumba for every hour in the day
Sleepless nights, bonfire, serenade, love with no condition
Carrying flowers i'm going, looking for romance
In this world sometimes dark, inexplicable
Carrying fresh flowers, sometimes black
Just like the cradle of those who buy misery
Till your way, and every seed you find, sow it
Collect the fruits that feeds no much
There's black tempests that will collect storms
Keep going, till your way, and every seed you find sow
Cinnamon grows between your bag and mine
Noble metals that melt with rhythm and taste |

One man gambles in a London house casino
A glass of whiskey and a BLT
He spins the wheel of fortune
Blows his night in just one roll
Stumbles out into the street
All

What we do
If we throw it all away |
What
we have
What we give
What we take
Who we are |
So he staggers out into the night
& takes the night bus to his home
A hotel room, an empty chair
He hears a voice but no one's there
A gun and Bible by the phone
All
away
Always
What we do
If we throw it all away |
What
we have
What we give
What we take
Who we are |
A drunken fool with broken
memories
Says his prayers & takes a drink
The morning brings a brand new season
One more chance, and one more reason
Tomorrow's just a dream away

London Undersound
Days Of Fire
( Featuring Natty )
There's no more trains going that way
There's no more trains coming this way
You better make your way home, son
There's something going down in London
Well that ain't gonna stop me
So I step out the station and what do I see
Traffic for days
Let me walk a bit and I'll see where it get me
Then it all went slow motion, everything slow motion
First came the flash of lights then the sound of explosion
And we're still in slow motion, we're still in slow motion
On these streets where I played
And these trains that I take, I saw fire
But now I've seen the city change in
Oh so many ways, since the days of fire
Since the days of fire
Now I'm on the train going that way
There were too many people coming this way
Delayed trains, delayed trains
Didn't plan for death on the subway
So I step out the station, Brazilian name all over TV
Realization, I was on the next train, could've been me
Then it all went slow motion, everything slow motion
First the flash of light then the rise of emotion
And I'm still in slow motion, I'm still in slow motion
On these streets where I played
And these trains that I take, I saw fire
But now I've seen the city change in
Oh so many ways, since the days of fire
Since the days of fire
One day going that way, one day going this way
Those summer days, that crazy phase
Like a jack-knifed car on the highway
Just two mad situations, fire on the news, fire on TV
A bus, a train station, the crossfire sights of destiny
Now it's all gone slow motion, everything slow motion
The lights gone out - I feel no more emotion
I'm all out of emotion, I'm out of emotion
On these streets where I played
And these trains that I take, I saw fire
But now I've seen the city change in
Oh so many ways, since the days of fire
Since the days of fire
October
Daze
( Featuring Tina Grace )
I'm lingering, I'm lost
I'm floating nowhere like
A wasp in October
Summer's over and done
These empty dreams of mine
Are out of place and out of time
Is just a grain of sand for me
Seasons change
Memories fade
Daydreams fall like golden leaves
Another day
I'm watching dreams just slip away
The summer moon
Gives way to autumn's dusky bloom
Seeds I've sown
Are almost spent, I'm here alone
Wandering I roam
Beneath the half light of forgotten sunsets
Searching for my home
Inside this lonely place
I'm chasing shadows like a wasp in October
Fading in the wind
Seasons change
Memories fade
Daydreams fall like golden leaves
Um dia de mas
Meu sonho desapareceu
Lua no céu
Rio da noite, coração
Sozinha aqui
Você não lembra mais de mim
Another day
I'm watching dreams just slip away
The summer moon
Gives way to autumn's dusky bloom
Seeds I've sown
Are almost spent, I'm here alone
Bring it home
( Featuring Imogen Heap )
Oh anything's possible
Oh anything's possible
In motion the seeds of each moment
(Oh anything's possible)
Travel collide and react
In motion the seeds of each moment
Travel collide and react
In motion the seeds of each moment
Travel collide and react
We're in this together
We're in this together

We're in this together...
Thick and thin
Bonded
Atomic
Like it or not
We're the same stuff
Equal and opposite

Oh anything's possible...
We're in this together

Bring it home
Anything's possible

Interlude I - Ghost Image
Nowadays we get the attention of the paparazzi.
And you don't want them to take a picture, you don't necessarily even know
they're there.
It suddenly reminds me of the (?)
They are stealing your soul.
So yeah, they steal your soul.
My soul
( Featuring Paul McCartney )
I long to know all your secrets
I want to walk through your fire
Light up my eyes with your smile
I was awakened by magic
I was alone in this world
Take me away from here
Life's being run at a blistering pace
I've been shot from a gun
To your final embrace
My soul, your heart, two worlds apart
This life is all we have
How could this steal all these feelings
How could they lie to this world
A picture away from your smile
Life's being run at a blistering pace
I've been shot from a gun
To your final embrace
My soul, your heart, two worlds apart
This life is all we have
One soul displaced
One heart replaced
Feelings defaced
Invade our space
No one left to give us back our time
Climb every mountain
Swim through every sea
When all the world is asleep
We could set ourselves free
My soul, your heart, two worlds apart
This life is all we have
Hmm yeah
We could climb every mountain
Swim through every sea
When all the world is asleep
Yeah we could set ourselves free
We could climb every mountain
Swim through every sea
When all the world is asleep
Yeah we could set ourselves free
My soul, your heart, two worlds apart
This life
Interlude II - Soledad
Me recuerda un día hace tiempo
Me recuerda una otra ciudad
Yo tenia un sueño
Donde no existia nada
Donde no habia nadie
Solo el aire, el mar
Y las montañas
Solo las montañas |
Translation:
I remember a day long ago
I remember another city
I had a dream
Where there was nothing
Where there was no one
Just the air, the sea
And the moutains
Just mountains

Distant Dreams
( Featuring Roxanne Tataei )
This city
Everywhere I go
I see faces I know
All in their different zones
As we're flying
Through this world underground
And my eyes are wide shut
I'm not hearing a sound
Time standing still
Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled
Empty places for the disenchanted
Pass and fade away
Distant dreams
Where I go
Distant dreams
When I'm low
As they echo in my head
Distant dreams
How they flow
Distant dreams
Moving slow
As I'm falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind
Faces distorted by pressure
Everyone forced together
Spilling out through the doors
No more spaces
It's a dog-eat-dog world
And a mad free-for-all
Maybe room for one more
Time standing still
Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled
Empty places for the disenchanted
Pass and fade away
Distant dreams
Where I go
Distant dreams
When I'm low
As they echo in my head
Distant dreams
How they flow
Distant dreams
Moving slow
As I'm falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind
Distant dreams
Where I go
Distant dreams
When I'm low
As they echo – echo - in my head
Distant dreams
How they flow
Distant dreams
Moving slow
As heartbreak surrounds me
And heartache has found me
Distant dreams
Where I go
Distant dreams
When I'm low
As they echo in my head
Distant dreams
How they flow
Distant dreams
Moving slow
As I'm falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind
Interlude IV - Identity
I find it uncomfortable but I miss (?)
Where? Your wearing of a veil?
I know, also, if they wouldn't mind removing the veil
So that I can have a face-to-face conversation.
Ek Jaan
( Featuring Reena Bhardwaj )
Chaaron dishaaon mein ye daastaan ho
Ek dil, ek dang, ek jaanChaaron dishaaon mein
ye daastaan ho
Ek dil, ek dang, ek jaan
Sarhad nah he koyi yahaan
Khuli ye zameen he, khula aasmaan |
One soul
( Featuring Reena Bhardwaj )
In every direction, let this be the philosophy
One heart, one colour, one soul
In every direction, let this be the philosophy
One heart, one colour, one soul
There are no boundaries here
The earth is open, open is the sky |
Transmission
( Featuring Tina Grace )
Feel the sunshine from the radio
Feel the sunshine from the radio
Disconnect my mind from traffic
Beaming through the London static
Shelter from the rain
Feel the sunshine from the radio
Feel the sunshine from the radio
Sycophantic, laughing, manic
Same old, same old, same old's all I hear
Hear the punch line on the radio
Hear the punch line on the radio
Voices weaving
Smokescreen dreaming
Cold, deceiving
Cloud my hearing
Shelter from the rain
Shelter from the rain
Sell the same line through the radio
Sell the same line through the radio
Through the airwaves
Dayligh breaking
Empty promise, living, faking
Is this all there is...
Radio...
Last Train To Midnight
( Featuring Aruba Red )
Journey no friend of mine
Journey no friend of mine
Not this space
Not this time
Journey no friend of mine
No moonlit safety
Haste speed me
Interlude VI - Ronald Gray
If you think that [inaudible] today.
Because we're responsable, we, we (?).
And we seem to accept these appalling figures.
Come over to the television.
(Time) Of death and destruction of civilian people, men, women and children.
Last Days Of Meaning
The Devil and Midnight
Deep beneath the devil and midnight hours you threw away
Painting years of rain clouds waiting for a day
Nothing comes from killing time
As you crawl inside your mind
Close your eyes and blame the world
Oh if you could the change the world
From within the lines of your precious is done
Arm's length's a perfect prison right inside your home
It's an easy life for the angry kind for a heart that's growing cold
Just close your eyes and blame the world
Just close your eyes and blame the world
Close your eyes, and blame the world
And words will never reveal sincere emotion when the soul chooses to hide
Nothing colder than dead compassion hiding behind the eyes
If you keep the venom behind your lips a kiss could make you cry
And ashamed you lied and blamed the world
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
It's a sin you deny the gift that's given a circle of a lie
Revealing every emotion if only in good time
The wind will blow wind truer than any fear residing in your mind
Just close your eyes and blame the world
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
Reflection 1
John Hurt:
So bloody cold.
Nothing, no water, kettle doesn't work.
Stupid blanket, stupid shop.
Anyway, I'll just listen and work.
Who's there? Go away!
No, it was a piece of paper. I'm sure at all.
Where did I? Ah yes, got it now.
Can't think in this bloody fridge.
On the table, yes. Here we go.
Instruction. Red button.
One, two away. Press down.
Confessions From The Womb
Tine Grace & Jon Bilbrough:
Forgive my sins
If my life begins
For the lies I'll tell
And the lives I'll drag to hell
Confess me all my fears
Relieve me of my tears
And the guilt I'll bear
Fro love I'll never share - with you
Hear my confession
To the world
To the world
Hear my confession
As I wait in the cold
Indulge my pride
Hiding dreams I'll never try
And hearts I'll leave behind
For the love I'll never find
Forgive my lack of shame
For the murders in my name
And for following the blind
Over stillborn hearts and minds - will you
Hear my confession
To the world
To the world
Hear my confession
As I wait in the cold
Excuse me all my crimes
Discounting all the sings
Ignoring all the words
Written on the walls of time
Forgive me for this day
And the hopes I'll give away
For the one I'll never be
And the views I'll never see - at all
Hear my confession
To the world
To the world
Hear my confession
As I wait - never to grow old
Reflection 2
John Hurt:
Aw bloody weird. Is that it?
She sends me (?) after... How long is it now?
Perhaps some gloves or socks. She'd pick 'em.
She leaves, fine! She feels bad, fine!
So all she can do... just rubbish. Haven't got them.
Who's there? Hello? Who's there?
Anyway. This way. Here it is now.
And nothing else. Perhaps another one.
What was it? Press down.

John Hurt:
I'm sick of it. Stupid games.
I'm not your toy, your plaything.
You end your time. I gave you all chances.
You can't manipulate me anymore, not now!
Anyway. What's that bloody noise?
Hello! Stop banging at light!
Bloody immigrants, bloody terrorists, bloody.
Oh bloody freezing in the air.
Aw better if I blow. Yeah, a condensation of my breath.
I should take a photo of that. I will show them and run.
The councils, stupid politicians.
When the papers say (?)
Scandals. Can't treat old men like that.
I'm old, cold. Old and cold. Rotting and mold.
Boldly listening to these stories I'm told.
With no songs to sing and no one to hold.
No songs to sing.
Perhaps another.
I'm
Done
Hannah Peel:
There's nothing here to hide behind
No saving grace, no holy sign
But I can't leave here
No, I can't walk out today
People taking my words away
Time's running out or so they say
But I can't move on
No, I can't leave here today
And the world is turning over
The sea is flowing over
The sun is rising over me
But I've no room left to fall
And I've no one left to call
I'm done
If I were a man
No personal ties, no long-term plan
I could take my pick of everything I see
But nothing's ever what it seems
The sun is shining on broken dreams
No, I can't move on
No, I can't leave here today
And the world is turning over
The sea is flowing over
The sun is rising over me
But I've no room left to fall
And I've no one left to call
I'm done
And people say
You can't be everything to everyone
And people say
The time to hesitate is gone
And I've no room left to fall
But I've no one left to call
I'm done
And the world is turning over
The sea is flowing over
The sun is rising over me
But I've no room left to fall
And I've no one left to call
I'm done
Reflection 4
John Hurt:
Bang, bang, bloody bang!
Go on, do your worse, I'm still here!
Not going anywere, not for a while.
So... How would I know when it's over?
It wouldn't say. (?)
Well, she must have known that I worry.
She knows me (?)
Bloody liberty, really.
Because if I care anymore, (?)
I'm doing what I want.
She's not here, not now, just me.
So... He's here now, just the two of us.
Man and machine.
So let's keep on and keep going.
(?) when it's ready.
Press down.
Projector
Tina Grace & Jon Bilbrough:
Your heart's on a string
Your life on a wire
Cracked memories in glass
The light of a fire
Burnt embers of spring
Dust falls from your hair
Remember a smile
An old broken chair
Flicker and fade
Flicker and fade
Your mind in a trap
Your soul in a sling
Worn pictures of youth
A bird without wings
An album of pain
A diary of fear
A mirror of hate
Your world on a tear
Projecting the past
On a broken down screen
The years you despise
The places you've been
The ghost of your love
Lies buried in blame
The light in your eyes
A flickering flame
Flicker and fade
Flicker and fade
Colours of hopefulness
Colours unseen
Pictures of beauty
Encased in a dream
A bitter old man
In a half empty room
Your colourful past
On a black and white screen
Reflection 5
John Hurt:
Bloody nerve. Best years of my life, blah, blah, blah.
I was always pretty cool, I thought. I didn't complain.
Not for me, I was thoughtful. Kind.
So all she can do, all she can think of is this stupid thing.
Happy now? I say, "Are you happy now?"
I'm just sitting here. Can't even watch TV. Nothing on.
Can't even watch the news. Stupid thing doesn't even work.
Another stupid thing. No batteries in, just sits there in the corner.
A box without electricity.
Tired old man without a soul.
Ooh God... Here it is again.
Sentimental rubbish. Boring myself.
Some more, I think.
Tender World
Nicki Wells:
The rich and tender world you held
Has disappeared inside yourself
The endless game of life you played
Has faded into yesterday
The rich and tender world you held
Has disappeared inside yourself
The endless game of life you played
Has faded into yesterday
[Sargams]
You lived from dream to dream
Sacrificed the way between
Put your fragile life on hold
An empty room, an empty soul
The rich and tender world you held
Has disappeared inside yourself
The endless game of life you played
Has faded into yesterday
The rich and tender world you held
Has disappeared inside yourself
The endless game of life you played
Has faded into yesterday
[Sargams]
So now what memories take you there
Chasing daydreams in the air
[Sargams]
The rich and tender world you held
Has disappeared inside yourself
The endless game of life you played
Has faded into yesterday
The rich and tender world you held
Has disappeared inside yourself
The endless game of life you played
Has faded into yesterday
Note: Sargam refers to singing the notes
instead of the words of a composition.
So Long
Yolanda Quartey & Rajrang:
[Hindi part]
Do you ever still remember how
You would call this your home
Do you sometimes think of brighter days
As you lay there on your own
So long, so long, so long ago
So long
So long, so long, so long ago
[Hindi part]
In the fractures of your memory
Is there still a place you see
Where the sun leads to a better world
As you wait there just to be
So long, so long, so long ago
So long
So long, so long, so long ago
[Hindi part]
In the silence of your empty world
When you're down and feeling low
Is there someone still inside of you
A man you once knew long ago
So long, so long, so long ago
So long, so long, so long ago
Note : the Hindi lyrics symbolise the value of
feminine wisdom.
Reflection 6
John Hurt:
All I remember it was a train journey hanging out.
A cup of tea. You were laughing into your car.
What did I say? Very hot day, lovely.
What did I? You thought I made a joke, that was it.
I told you I was a thousand percent better.
And you laughed like a long beautiful day.
You laughed. And now you send me this.
Reflection 7
John Hurt:
Very calm, very relaxing.
Like miso soup on a winter's Sunday.
Very, very self-contained.
Taste The Air
NATTY:
All this time sitting, listening out for the phone
Still no one's ringing, again you're alone
Time's passing by while you mutter and moan
You wonder why the fast hand look so slow
You wanna move but the fear gotta hold
These four walls keep you safe from the cold
Behind the door is a place to behold
But you so scared of the sunlight creping through the window
Taste the air
Smell the street
Move along to a different beat
See the sun, listen the trees
Take life off repeat
Take life off repeat
Round and round, around you go
Over and over the same old road
The same old stories playing in your head
Thinking about the things you wished you said
All the things you should have done
All the things that you wished you said
All the things you should have done
All the things that you wished you said
Taste the air
Smell the street
Move along to a different beat
See the sun, listen the trees
Take life off repeat
Shake the dust from your smile
Nothing comes from killing time
Close your eyes, roll the dice
Leave the shadows far behind
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Uncurl your fingers and toes
Your veins illuminate
Your blood beginning to flow
Scratch the demons from your back
Crack the winter from your bones
Leave the shadows far behind
Reach out for the unknown
Walk outside your door
Walk into the light
Walk outside your door
Walk into the light
Taste the air
Smell the street
(Walk outside your door)
Move along to a different beat
(Walk into the light)
See the sun, listen the trees
(Walk outside your door)
Take life off repeat
(Walk into the light)
Taste the air
Smell the street
(Walk outside your door)
Move along to a different beat
(Walk into the light)
See the sun, listen the trees
(Walk outside your door)
Take life off repeat
(Walk into the light)
Reflection 8
John Hurt:
Hello? Yes.
Come in.
Onezero
Accept
Yourself
When the sun goes down
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause the night is holding all your dreams right now
When nothing goes your way
Give thanks for what you still have
'Cause the future takes a road you can't control
Accept yourself
When all the world is a mystery
Accept yourself
You can flight it or just let it be
Accept yourself
When nothing is as it seems
Accept yourself
Some may try to take you
On another journey
To a corner of your mind
You've been before
And the crossroads of your life
May lead to where you can't go
Just close your eyes
And time will change it all
Accept yourself
When all the world is a mystery
Accept yourself
You can flight it or just let it be
Accept yourself
When nothing is as it seems
Accept yourself
Accept yourself
When all the world is a mystery
Accept yourself
You can flight it or just let it be
Accept yourself
When nothing is as it seems
Accept yourself
Sunset
Keep moving
Keep changing
Keep flowing like the sun
Rivers rise
Oceans rise
People rise with the sun
If I were never to leave here
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set with the sun
If I could set with the sun
Tears falling
Rain falling
Leaves are falling like the sun
Lands drifting
Seas drifting
Worlds drifting with the sun
If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set with the sunset, say it ...
If I
Never to leave here
If I
Always alone
If I
Oceans rise
Rivers rise
People rise
With the sun
Oceans rise
Rivers rise
People rise
With the sun
Devil and
Midnight
Deep beneath the devil and midnight hours you threw away
Painting years of rain clouds waiting for a day
Nothing comes from killing time
As you crawl inside your mind
Close your eyes and blame the world
Oh if you could the change the world
From within the lines of your precious is done
Arm's length's a perfect prison right inside your home
It's an easy life for the angry kind for a heart that's growing cold
Just close your eyes and blame the world
Just close your eyes and blame the world
Close your eyes, and blame the world
And words will never reveal sincere emotion when the soul chooses to hide
Nothing colder than dead compassion hiding behind the eyes
If you keep the venom behind your lips a kiss could make you cry
And ashamed you lied and blamed the world
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
It's a sin you deny the gift that's given a circle of a lie
Revealing every emotion if only in good time
The wind will blow wind truer than any fear residing in your mind
Just close your eyes and blame the world
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
Blaming the world, inside your mind
The answers whistling on down the line
Now I've opened up my heart
How can I turn to the dark
In this swaying silence
I see, there is nothing I can hold on to
You can't breathe if I hold you tight
You can not breathe if I hold you tight
Don't be afraid of letting go
Don't be afraid of letting go
Not of anything, not of anyone
All alone here with my demons
Am I ready to move on
To a personal place
Alone, away from here
And I miss you
And I lose you
And I fall behind you
I choose to follow my heart
Don't be afraid of letting go
Don't be afraid of letting go
Not of anything, not of anyone
Out of anything, not of anyone
Don't be afraid of letting go...

Noches en Vela
Crece canela entre tus acai* y los

Metales nobles que se funden con ritmo y sabor
Hay rumbita buena, pa' todas las horas del día
Noches en vela, hoguera, serená y amor sin condición
Trayendo flores voy, buscando amores
En este mundo a veces oscuro, inexplicable
Ay, trayendo flores frescas más, a veces negras
Como la cuna de los que compran miserias
Labra camino, Ay semilla que encuentres siembra
Recoge frutos que no mucho alimentan
Hay tempestades negras que recogerán tormentas
Tú sigue, labra camino, ay semilla que encuentres siembra
Crece canela entre tus acai y los míos
Metales nobles que se funden con ritmo y sabor
Hay rumbita buena, pa' todas las horas del día

Fires in the fall
Like you, the flames could end it all

Fires in the fall
Like you, the flames could end it all

One eye is blind
One hand is red
You play the pieces
Inside your head
It comes to nothing
Reap what you sow
Nowhere to hide now
No place to go
Fires in the fall
Like you, the flames could end it all
(end it all)
Fires in the fall
Like you, the flames could end it all

Is something missing
Inside your mind
They're killing angels
You're killing time
We're burning Eden

We have our reasons
It's all the same

Days R Gone
Eva Stone :
Push the needle in, pull it out
You're within and I'm without
Drain the vein of all that you want
Then take it all back once it's done
All the sweet days, the memories
All you promised to wash away
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Push the needle in and pull it out
You're the dirt in my nails, the stain on my blood
Does the green make you clean in the end
'Cause yout take it all back, take it all back like it never happened
All the sweet days, the memories
All you promised to wash away
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Those days, those days, those days
Are gone, are gone, are dead
Those days, those days, those days
Are gone, are gone, are dead
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Those days are gone, those days are gone,
Those days are gone
Those days are gone, those days are dead
Dark Day
There's a devil in my coffee
A stranger in my head
Distorting my memory
Twisting what you said
The photos are faded now
And the pages are torn
There was a demon in the corner
From the day I was born
It's a dark day
In heaven for me
It's a dark day
In heaven
Now I walk among the ashes
And flashes of my life
Picking out old faces
From the edge of a knife
Still too many issues
That I don't understand
Politicians lying
By the grace of God's hand
It's a dark day
In heaven for me
It's a dark day
In heaven
Nothing to gain now
But so much I could lose
I am forever and ever
Chasing the paradise blues
It's a dark day
In heaven for me
It's a dark day
In heaven
Silence
Eva Stone :
When I'm feeling down
Silence fills the sound
When I'm feeling down
Silence
Time's a tainted word
Brought nothing but lies
All the sweet talk I heard
Just pain in disguise
When I'm feeling down
Silence fills the sound
When I'm feeling down
Silence
In shadows of day
Darkness twists what you say
And though music brings light
Don't turn wrong into right
When I'm feeling down
Silence fills the sound
When I'm feeling down
Silence
And all the demons are here
I'm alone with my fear
But i'm cleaning my mind
Leaving memories behind
When I'm feeling down
Silence fills the sound
When I'm feeling down
Silence
Dystopia
Akala :
Love is running
Love is running
Dystopian dream
Yeah, Dystopian dream
Your time comes you face it
Your time comes you make it
Your time comes you face it
Your time comes you make it
Your time comes you face it
Your time comes you make it
Dark day in heaven
A bright day in hell
This dystopian dream
Yeah I know it well
Time is coming
Time, comes
Faster than love can, time runs, past future, we are
We become, one, numb, dumb, the sumof the part, son of sun
Marching, marching in step, with death, masking our debt, to breath
Passing our best, be lest, grant them the flesh, request, yes
The opening scene, dystopian dream, copious measures of opiate schemes
Hoping it seems, only redeems, the demons that we are told would appear
Whether we face it or let it give chase, the picture remains, the pattern we
trace
The place is the same, maker is tainted, by the same wish, that made all this,
dystopian bliss
Just change
Your time comes you face it
Your time comes you make it
Time is coming
Time, comes
Tere Khyal
Phir tere naam ne betaab kiya
Phir tere khyal ne rulaa diya
Beraham chahat ne badkar
Phir vahi gilaa kiya
Phir tere naam ne betaab kiya
Phir tere khyal ne rulaa diya
Beraham chahat ne badkar
Phir vahi gilaa kiya
Dhoondhati hun manzil purani
Aur raasraa bhulaa diya
Umeed ne jab sath chhorba
Naseeb ne shikvaa kiya
Door tak nazren bichha kar
Swapan ko sulaa diya |
Translation :
Tere Khyal Mein
Once again your mention has ditressed me
Once again the toughts of you have made me cry
The intensity of your cruel love has yet again
made complaints
I searched for the old destination but have
forgotten the way
When all my hopes had left my side
And even my luck complained and blamed me
I looked for you far and beyond
Then, have put my dream to sleep

When I'm
Gone
Stealth :
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
Although I've disappeared
My heart will stay right here
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
I'm gonna haunt your dreams when you sleep
I'm gonna haunt your dreams when you sleep
I'll be hiding in your tears
I'll be crawling through your sorrow while you weep
Like an echo in a cave I won't go away just fade
In your mind constant replay
Like the tombstone of a grave my memory won't decay
In your mind constant replay
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
Although I've disappeared
My heart will stay right here
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
I'm gonna haunt your dreams when you sleep
I'm gonna haunt your dreams when you sleep
I'll be hiding in your tears
Crawling through your fears
I'm gonna haunt your sorrow when you weep
Like an echo in a cave I won't go away just fade
In your mind constant replay
Like the tombstone of a grave my memory won't decay
In your mind constant replay
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
Although I've disappeared
My heart will stay right here
You're gonna hear from me when I'm gone
You're gonna feel my touch in the cold
You're gonna feel my touch in the cold
It's a feeling in your bones
That you are not alone
You're gonna feel my touch in the cold

Keep the light on
Joss Stone :
You work out all your pain
And I fall for your tears
Then you burn our bridges
Till the love disappears
It's a back and forth game
That we play to the end
Though the future looks bright, it's not the one we intend
Si I
I keep the light on for you
It's the very least that I could do
I keep the light on for you
Though the world keeps saying we're through
Nothing lasts forever
Feelings just bring us down
We used to make great music
Now we're drowning in sound
There's no words to express
The trouble that we're in
Every time we say goodbye
Sends my head into a spin
So I
I keep the light on for you
It's the very least that I could do
I keep the light on for you
Though the world keeps saying we're through
So I wait you to leave
'Cause I know that nothing gonna change
So I leave my door open
So you can come right back to me
Why do I keep
I keep my light shining bright
Just so you can see your way
Up the path to me baby
I keep the light on
All through the night
Although the world keeps saying that we're through
Are we baby, are we through
I don't know if I've had enough of you
So I keep the light on
I keep the light on for you
Although the world keeps asking me daily
Are we through
Redshift
J'Danna :
I was wrong
You were right
I taught you all I knew
And you taught me to fight
You wanted more
I couldn't care less
But you never want to talk about
The emptiness
Now every time
You think you've found yourself
Well it turns out to be
Someone else
Nobody likes to talk about
The emptiness
Nobody likes to talk about
The emptiness
You're out of phase with the redshift light
Lose your way to the redshift light
We don't need messiahs
We turn the static to a choir
You're out of phase with the redshift light
Lose your way to the redshift light
We don't need messiahs
We turn the static to a choir
Well you can say I'm cold
'Cause you're on dire
Well the best of us
Go up in a fueral pyre
If you're burning up
Or you're burning down
You're out for the count
Or you come around
Nobody likes to talk about
The emptiness
Nobody likes to talk about
The emptiness
You're out of phase with the redshift light
Lose your way to the redshift light
We don't need messiahs
We turn the static to a choir
You're out of phase with the redshift light
Lose your way to the redshift light
We don't need messiahs
We turn the static to a choir

Immigrants Interlude I
Arrivals at Tilbury, the Empire Windursh brings to Britain five hundred
Jamaicans, many ex-servicemen who know England.
They served this country well. In Jamaica they couldn't find work.
Discouraged but full of hope, they sailed for Britain, citizens of the British
Empire coming to the Mother Country with good intent.
[Pathé Report Meets - 1948]
Movement - Variation II
Ayanna Witter-Johnson:
How do I cry for the missing voices
Stolen from this Earth
And how to forget all the painful choices
That make me prove my world
Is this something we can overcome
No one else belongs to anyone
Is this something we can overcome
This world belongs to us
So we can not give up
We've just begun to truly see each other
Is this something we can overcome
This world belongs to us
So we can not give up
We've just begun to truly see each other
How do I cry for the missing voices
Stolen from this Earth
And how to forget all the painful choices
That make me prove my world
Is this something we can overcome
This world belongs to us
So we can not give up
We've just begun to truly see each other
Is this something we can overcome
This world belongs to us
So we can not give up
We've just begun to truly see each other
No one else belongs to anyone
Vai
Nina Miranda:
Pois difícil é saber
Como falar e não dizer
O caminho agora é seu
Tô vendo suas asas querendo o céu
Tive espera (?) de ter perto
Mas todos nós queremos
Espaço e paz
Vai, vai, vai, vai, vai
Vai voar
Pode parar de me seguir
Quero refletir
Esse mundo bem que vi
É complexo, também senti
Há futuros (?), tantos lados
Com os meus próprios pés
Eu viro protagonista
Vai, vai, vai, vai
Vou voar
Nas montanhas que se desfazem
Evitando, machucando, cicatriz e tatuagem
Marcando medo
Certas tristezas e grande humor
Filhos tão amados, ninguém é perfeito
Vamos nós, vamos viver
Vai, vai, vai, vai, vai, vai
Vai voar

You are my nation
You are my state

Though kept apart
We stand united
one broken heart
You are my border
You are my wall
We'll climb together

Go back to your homes!
Lifeline
Spek & Rahel Debebe-Dessalegne:
Looking for a home, but I have nowhere to go
Trying to make a living, but I have nothing to show
Biding my time, searching for signs
Waiting for a lifeline
Say, am I a militant
Because I'm pro-immigrant
Penetratin' sickness like syphilis
It's ridiculous
How low they make you sink (sink)
Following the crowd into group-think (think)
Now I'm writing history in new ink (ink)
Call on the gods, the callin' on the guards
To protect invisible borders of ours as if
Colonial residue barely left a mark
As if these brown people never fought in your wars
I take a moment 'cause it's part for the course
They wanna use us out far to outsource
Politicians to endorse
Went from Rosa Parks to oligarchs
Hospital beds in Central Park
While the whole world mental and dark
A stark reality, I'm meant to be glad
To be a casualty of a system
I got my faculties intact (intact)
Democracies free fall collapse
So I spit raps that catch you offguard like booby traps
Looking for a home, but I have nowhere to go
Trying to make a living, but I have nothing to show
Biding my time, searching for signs
Waiting for a lifeline
I wrote the code where the rubber meets the road
So who's the princess for this toad
I'm a-la-mode while society implodes
And we're just the audience
Tryin' to make a buck like lobbyists
I guess it's hard to just
Walk away from cheese like a vegan
I'm tryna quarantine like Sweden
And believe in a higher power
Liar coward and superpower
Guess I'm too live and banned like the County of Broward
I might have scoured through the Earth to find it's really sour
I might have powered through the pain to an ivory tower
The ever optimist trying to make sense of this
Connecting dots don't make sense like a mentalist
The grand battle, our leaders milk it like cattle (cattle)
So get a laso 'cause some of these snakes don't rattle (snakes)
Looking for a home, but I have nowhere to go
Trying to make a living, but I have nothing to show
Biding my time, searching for signs
Waiting for a lifeline
Surrounded by internet trolls with brittle souls
That fizzle the mold with the lost tweets
The ritalin told
The rhythm is cold, but rhyme is on fire
I'm driving a car named desire, a pariah
The truth is mired in deceit, so take a seat
It's too deep to walk by on two feet
And it wreaks of white privilege
To come into my village and pillage
And then ask me why my country ain't with it
Shithole, shithole
I guess I'm half a man if I ain't whole
And I guess if I don't take it I man a-hole
And I guess that it's OK if you may stole
Possession is nine-tenths of the law
So I gess hey yo
Looking for a home, but I have nowhere to go
Trying to make a living, but I have nothing to show
Biding my time, searching for signs
Waiting for a lifeline
We learned the lessons, but we burn the blessings
And we got plenty questions
Disenfranchised in these elections
And I should mention that I got my section
I ain't second guessin'
Who needs protectin' in protectionism
And I guess I'm fed up and highly stressin'
I'mma get out of this left and magnanimous
The catalyst has got me battlin' my outer demons
Of course (of course) they brought them out in a trojan horse
The main course pitchin' a sales force
With no recourse or moral force
They up in the golf course commiserating
The States men who waste men are still debating
And I just don't believe 'em like a pagan (I don't believe 'em)
The truth hurts and it'll hit you like a crater
Sooner or later people will judge like Ruth Bader
I'm color blind and not inclined to be a hater
I ain't divine, I'm just a human with many layers
Looking for a home, but I have nowhere to go
Trying to make a living, but I have nothing to show
Biding my time, searching for signs
Waiting for a lifeline
Dream
Bangladesh, you know, used to Pakistan, part of Pakistan. It would then become
independent in 1971.
So during the Liberation War, you know, when Bangladesh was created, there are a
lot of political disturbance.
(?) in that circumstances, we're told that it is better to go to England.
My father came here in 1955 or 56, shortly after my twin brothers were born in
Jamaica.
And the while he was here, he saved some money and then sent for my mom.
As she came over in 1957, the year before I was born.
So I came to earn some money, send some money back to my parents, then they have
a better life also.
Before I arrive here, it was a land of a dream that you, you dream when you
believe that it was a land of miracle and honey.
Like the street was paved with gold, you had a wonderful time here.

What's All About It
Jazzi Sirius:
Glance over my shoulder
I'm getting colder, older
Rolling a spliff, feeling stiff in the rain
Like a pain in the membrane, going insane
Getting wet, I'm a flame burning out
Everyday I'm a soldier
I'm getting bolder
Rolled a spliff in my hand
Could've told ya, moth to a flame
I'm a stain on the bed, bloody red
I'm dead inside, getting colder
No more words left trapped in my head
Mind's playing tricks, ticking time bomb
Flick a light on, write a song
Wrong or right, it's a crime
If you stop feeling hot in the rain, it's a shame
But it's not, in your head, what's my name
I'm a robot, AI twitter feed
Insta, Tiktok, hit-and-run troll boy
Free speech, word black, dying inside
But I lie on the outside, inside out
In my head, what's all about it
Starting all over, still getting colder, older
Same mistakes that I told ya
Make it all worse, I'm a curse
On your shoulder, words in your mind
You won't find what you're looking for
Time's running out
You're the doubt in my big plan
Same hand, last stand
Fighting for my homeland
Clickbait mindset, irate internet
I'm a brand troll
I'm a gift that you never get
Mind's playing tricks, ticking time bomb
Flick a light on, write a song
Wrong or right, it's a crime
If you stop feeling hot in the rain, it's a shame
But it's not, in your head, what's my name
I'm a robot, AI twitter feed
Insta, Tiktok, hit-and-run troll boy
Free speech, word black, dying inside
But I lie on the outside, inside out
In my head, what's all about it
No more words left trapped in my head
Definition Of Happy
I Am Roze :
I'm not perfect
But, damn it, I try, I feel worthless
The more I hold on to all your shitty lies
The society's rules I can't comply
Work in progress
I shelter myself from the nonsense
The more I listen to what you say to cope
The more I realize your standands are a joke
You're not happy with who you are
So how should that affect me
Your reflection don't reflect me
Go find your own definition of happy
Ain't no use and you're trying to change me
I've found my own definition of happy
And I refuse to let you define me
So why won't you let me be happy
What about my body
It's causing you harm, oh my lover
Whose name you don't know
Tell me how I make you cry
With the way that I identify
You're not happy with who you are
So how should that affect me
Your reflection don't reflect me
Go find your own definition of happy
Ain't no use and you're trying to change me
I've found
Ain't no use and you're trying to save me
I've got my own definition of happy
I'm confident in who I am
Unafraid of being outcasted
Ain't no shame to tell you all my flaws
So tell me how could I be wrong
I choose to live peacefully
I have no regrets in being me
I was destined to break the ?
Go find your own definition of happy
Ain't no use and you're trying to change me
I've found my own definition of happy
And I refuse to let you define me
So why won't you let me be happy
Go find your own definition of happy
Ain't no use and you're trying to change me
I've found my own definition of happy
And I refuse to let you define me
Fuck it, just let me be happy

Illegal
Gary Lineker :
When you look at somebody
And really see them with thought and care
You see the child they once were
And the elderly soul they may one day become
You see their strength and their vulnerability
Every human being is born with equal value
But they die with the value given or taken by the world
Voices from Asha Projects:
Well, I never had a home
Life is hard, they say, but so are you, they say
There is nothing impossible
There is no situation that could be hard enough
You will get through it
And there is another way of living for women
Women do have rights, women do have a voice
[woman speaking in Bengali]
And now she feels good and now she feels
She's even better than she was in Blangadesh
Gary Lineker:
No one is illegal
Ancestral
Hak Baker :
Bottom of the pile, I hate what you are, I hate your bloody ethnicity
'Cause granny came over in the sixties, promised gold lined street in a
metropolis
I wonder if it were an instant epiphany that it will never ever be what she
perceived
Down trodden turned people into mincemeat that'll be what's left from the
machine
But see my granny, she ain't like anybody that I know, beauty can turn bods into
beasts
But if you see yourself after twenty odd years, tumultuous times and a million
beers
Adulterous life with the same old fears, a lust for a new life, but you're stuck
in a gear
Could you stare in the mirror
Could you call yourself a winner
But if you see yourself after twenty odd years, tumultuous times and a million
beers
Adulterous life with the same old fears, a lust for a new life, but you're stuck
in a gear
Could you stare in the mirror
Could you call yourself a winner
Could ya
And then my num came over here in the seventies
And worked hard for everything that she achieved
I love my mum so much she's the man in the mirror
Bless me with all my tenacity
But when you're the bottom of the pile and they hate what you are
And they hate your bloody ethnicity
It's bloody hard in the city when you have three kids still working through your
identity
But if you see yourself after twenty odd years, tumultuous times and a million
beers
Adulterous life with the same old fears, a lust for a new life, but you're stuck
in a gear
Could you stare in the mirror
Could you call yourself a winner
Could ya
Listen, I mean, you are what you tell yourself
Horrible words will quell your advantages
And you will become your own disadvantage
I say, "Don't take your own words for granted"
I was a loser and a bastard, but my daddy was only a phone call away
You have all the answers, you can be a dunce in your own class if you want, mate
Idiots congregate, geez sheep, but men emancipate, I was a sheep in the jail
cell
All the times I would find I would weep 'cause my best friend died, I used to
ring up his voicemail
I made a man out myself, I was weak, but my power runs deep, mine is deep, it's
ancestral
And I will never let my family down because my mum wears her crown on her head,
it's ancestral, trust me
Mum came over, dad came over, gran came over
And they all did their thing, you know
Showing the way all the time, didn't really get it before, but
As I turn into a man I understand what they was trying to show me
Could you call yourself a winner
Could you call yourself a winner
Could you stare in the mirror
That's it
RIP Gran Man
We're
Not Alone
Joss Stone:
Okay
There was a time when I cared so much
'Bout what the people would think about me
But that was many moons ago
Since I freed my soul
Of that unattainable, ridiculous dream
I wanted love from everybody
Empathy to my pain
Like a little girl, I was demanded
Understand my way
My soul is the troubled kind
I know I'm not alone
Your fear is overtime
Her heart has been shaken up and made her crazy
No one is free from living this life
(I don't wanna be alone)
Find peace and time to enjoy your life
I'm trying real heard just to get that big right
Whenever I feel I'm fading, rocking through the night
Remind myself I got that trauma, fears are on high
Make the pain away, kiss the clouds of rain
I guess I'm okay, come whatever they may
Your soul is the troubled kind
I know we're not alone
My fear is overtime
His heart has been shaken up and made him crazy
No one is free from living this life
(I don't wanna be alone)
Accept yourself
(My fear, my pain, I'm not alone, you're not alone)
I hear you say
(You're not alone, I hope you realise you're really not alone)
Accept yourself
(My fear, my pain, I hope you realise you're not alone)
Go find a way
(I know, I hope you realise you're really not alone)
(My fear, my pain, I'm not alone, you're not alone, you're not alone)
But don't forget to accept them too
(I hope you realise you're really not alone)
Yes
The ones who don't agree with you
The ones who throw shade
The ones who lash out
The ones who call names
'Cause they're so afraid
And hurt without doubt
Especially those
Our souls are the troubled kind
I know, so do you (we're all troubled)
Our fears are overtime (sometimes)
Our hearts have been shaken up and made us crazy
(And each and every one of our hearts has been shaken up)
No one is free from living this life (more than a few times)
Who am I, who are we
Who are they, who are you
You're not alone
You're not alone
