lyrics

ARE WE READY
Our Hope, far away
(she began to dance)
Our hope....

This is precious time, this is precious time

Our Hope

Not one more missing
Not one more jailed
don't leave
don't leave
not one more

our hope...

our freedom fighters in jail
as we stand on their shoulders
how do we take our stand?

when we associate! when we associate!
(Not one more murdered!)
laws are overturned
voices are heard
justice is actually served
not by the elite
but by the street*
(not one more jailed)

a street that nurtures weeds and blossoms and herbs through the concrete
a street mined by crows and people and pigeons and seedlings,
turns junk into treasure, the dark to glow

she’s fighting too
this is precious time
this is precious time

(not one more jailed) kept in shock and disassociated,
but we never forget

Arrest the inhumane!
not one more murdered
Arrest the inhumane!
not one more jailed

audit the files
arrest the inhumane
reconfigure and reconstitute the social contract
make it your life’s work

are we decolonizing our minds and bodies? our indigenous to our settler, our black to our white, our woman to our man, our fear to our hope, our kin to our foe
are we ready?

what an amazing tapestry of sonic storytelling in this incredible album. My favorite track is a story in and of itself and the use of field recordings all throughout this album makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the narratives presented here. very well done and highly recommended. 10/10.

As you listen to this album, you realise that his genre bending skills becomes second nature. It's not about the genre anymore, but about presenting and sharing your emotions through sound. Beautiful display of emotion and tenderness, with huge cinematic approach and love. Especially love :) [Burden and Shines on Us were my favorites] IDGlitch
