about
4. Guide – I originally didn’t have these songs next to each other, because it was like 3 parts to the same song. But when I asked Damu to arrange the album, he somehow put them all back together. I don’t think he even knows this yet. This is the escape. This is me sitting outside, overlooking the washing monument from the park down the street from my janky apartment, and celebrating my isolation. I’ve spent many nights down there (especially after break ups) contemplating how my mind works and keeps messing things up. At this point, I just spoke from the heart
lyrics
Guide
Rap to the loudest high, to the open wide
To the sky that that you feel above
A son could be bright inside, but never look inside
That the uhh, do you feel the love
Dial it up, talk it up, walk it out
Mark it out, give it something
More than nothing, let it be
A part of you – whoah
Outside of body, baby doll we
Travel probably cause we’re godly
Meant for the, story of…. Us
Ready or not we don’t stop nothing
Give it all up it’s all your waiting for
Ready or not we don’t stop nothing
Give it a chance it’s what’s you’ve said before
I’m only human, I have not even begun to fight
Sky is the limit; I wait till I can free the night
Stars were made inside your eye before the lies that said you can’t
Fold the blind eye, it turns down the dream for that romance
Fire burn inside a light, I hopefully will not lose
Introspect, I reconnect with self and lock it in, smooth
Shoes are boats, cruise, I slide on rocks too
I crack a tree root; the wind will cut through
Memory flew, but sickness won’t do
It’s life I see through, it’s beautiful too
And I’m sitting in the sun, the whistles come from
The winds hitting the water, and gives that soul hum
Enough to go numb, fall from affirmation
From my god and all it’s saying
Patience, beyond unkind, taken
Back to what I’m made of
Jason nation of millions to hold us back
Soul body, whole body
One body world of the light
Soul body, somebody
Wake up and live for the fight
Burning star, guided light
Empty space, nocturnal light LORD
Quiet eye, looking like
You’ve seen it all, comfort the fight
Took it back, reverse the cause
Understanding, with second look
Born alive yet born to die, freedom
Angel left to talk inside demon
Love your mom but life is all leaving
Dream awake but sleep to dream being
Breathe and walk your lovers life see them
Reasons for the other side tweak them
Meaning of the world that you speak of
All you’re left to is just reach up

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
