about
This is a teaser. I am putting this up with a multitude of intention
1. saturn is returning for me, and it is a wild time on earth.
charlottesville is my hometown and in response to the recent fiasco there
i am fed up with racism and this oppressive colonized orchestration.
my music and life gains new purpose to overcome this with my family.
i love y'all
2. i have been too proud to ask for help, and too in my own head to release any music.
I am willing to share deeper because its bull shit to not share our gifs
3. id love to be able to support my activism with musical donations and
give you more music and have more energy to take care of myself and my close family.
this song is about standing up for our colonized marginalizes minority brothers and sisters.
these people have the least and struggle everyday in ways we cannot fathom.
lets listen more, and help them without shame and with a smile on our face.
it is about minimizing our toxic impact on our earth and the cultures that represent harmonious relationship with her.
our country is built on some gnarly shit.
theres some things we need to resolve before we move further.
voices are going to be heard.
truth is going to reveal.
it may be harsh but the alternative is worse.
lyrics
like the way it was
bring it back to the ways of love
in a world thats wanting more
we've been wanting less
like the way it was before
just love that never ends
like the way it was before
fore the fighting and the war
love that never
love that never
love that never
ends
(like the way it was, lovely)
'fore the fighting and the war
just
love that never
love the never
love that never ends
whats the meaning of life
if there aint no equality?
the soils stained with blood
sweat and tears but we call it free
when it was stolen then sold back
built it on broke backs
now thats the worst kind of robbery
modeling out for the corrupt economy
destroy ancient culture to reform for the colony
now we wonder why the storms keep following
ancestors calling me home for the prophecy
now there needs to be a resolution
sang by the stars earth and moon sun
peace through the confusion i choose love
like it could bring us out of the ruins
reborn through the music
i will stand up for you
i will stand up with you
no matter the injustice
that has been placed against you
i will listen
until i hear you
chorus
(like the way it was, lovely)
