lyrics

we would dragon ball z
under water see see
in pool of our lightness
found likeness that be

we would dragon ball z
under water see see
in pool of our lightness
found likeness that be

reflected in droplet
filing basin to brim
nun that overflowin’
we got memories of joy
joy bringing flashback
smile back to face black
do best remember
as whip cracks on bare back
welts in mind,
black out

Chorus

verse

as
weight of world lifted
from young head
rest on a pillow
i dream of a new bed,
in water i bled not blue
as lasting light shone now thru
thru glass creating anew
image i shake not
grounded in lightness
and likeness for timely departure,
splash and kamahameha
spirit bombiiin away splashiiin
over the water and waves

grounded in lightness
and likeness for timely departure,
spirit bombiiin away splashiiin
over the water and waves

Splash

Splash

Chorus

Coby Sey:
"You're home, you're away, from birth to bereaved, ever moving, submerged and consumed, in phases of blue that's forever anewed

just like the womb, we are bathed... in a mode of sleep that we face, that we face..."

UNTITLED (Rise)

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
