about

The Story: This song is about the point in the hero's journey, where post break up, the hero gathers with his or her friends for solace and celebration. This is the song where the hero decides to move on with their life, and with their friends to help, the hero sets out to purge and to party to begin their process of moving on.

The BackStory: Kyron and Plaedo met in college at the University of Idaho. The fiddle employed by Kyron to make the beat, reminded both artists of the bonfire parties that they used to attend deep in the woods of Idaho. While both artist, now, live vastly different lives than the ones they did in college, this song takes them back to those backwoods days.

Psychological Themes: Liberation, Freedom, Acceptance, Joy, Fun, Bonding with Friends,

lyrics

Plaedo Verse
This for the ancient truth
Amazing views from sacred moons
The witches brew we giving you
If your vision’s true
Through the wizard’s spell
Where lizards dwell
As the snakes eat their tail
And the jaguar’s eyes pier
Through the night skies
I find with the right mind
I shine my divine light
So welcome to the magic
Enchanted pagans dancing
Out the ancient anthems
Of our ancestors
In this song of forever
My heartbeat speaks
Through the tick and the toc
So we can’t stop, won’t stop
Don’t stop, since we bang sticks to rocks
To create hip hop
So come dance along
As I hit you with the drop

So come gather round, gather round
The fire pit
Take a sip, get lit
On this mushroom trip (3x)

Zen Tempest Verse:
I’m Awesome,
People call me the hillbilly Shaman.
Often dreams become real,
Look at all this...
See, if I’m honest,
It’s obvious life’s a miracle.
Every single grain in your
Little cheerio cereal.
Was grown and harvested,
Transported where you live.
And somehow you got to sit there
And eat it, being a kid...
Was some crazy shit,
Everybody learns as they go.
My soul burns like it’s coal,
And casts a vertical glow....
I feel the serpent unfold,
Just like the bud of a rose.
I am the butt of the joke,
And yet I struggle and grow.
And overcome what I’m told,
Because I trust in the flow.
And don’t fuck around, no,
Homie love is the goal.
