about

(This is a special song for me. I remember a night, at a party at the Funny Farm, and everyone was on mushrooms, and I was on a porch having a conversation with friends and we were talking about how beautiful it is that soul fam can find each other and take care of each other in ways that blood families cannot. At the time, I was going through a break up with my wife of 13 years, and earlier in the night I dropped my step daughter off at a party with her friends, in the car ride we talked about soul family. There is something beautiful about how each generation does this. We find people who help us walk through life in ways our blood family often doesn’t. Logan, who was at the party, is super soulful and poppy and I knew I wanted to collaborate with him for the song. We decided to name this song after the Ram Das phrase, and a few days later Ram Das died. The song was written a few weeks later in the middle of a red eye flight back from Costa Rica, I remember crying intensely as I wrote my lyrics, from the middle seat, in between two strangers, looking at me weirdly, there's something about that that I like a lot, lol!)

lyrics

So here’s what we gone do
we gone make our dreams come true
after 13 years
I’m sorry boo
they couldn’t be with you
I guess you needed someone new
and when I reflect I guess that I did too
so the relationship changed but the love remains
and it’s so strange the other night
I scrolled through my timeline
and felt that I lived a few lifetimes
yo there's been so many faces in so many places
and we’ve all had our reasons
for how we’ve moved through our seasons
so I have love and no anger
for all the friends and neighbors
who’ve know become strangers
The moon has its phases
we’re all vibrations
in states of transformation
so with seeds in one hand
and a gun in the other
we find each other
in back alleys and the streets
to laugh and to grieve
through the pain and the glory
of all the side stories

So I have dope friends we do dope things
we laugh we play we work for change
we get drunk on the weekend and hold each other up
yo we’re family related by blood nah
It’s a spiritual bond
that is felt in the soul
as we melt in the flow
and trade yesterdays for tomorrows
yo I used to be scared of my death
now I accept it as another step in
my soul's quest for perfection
so let's lose our mind
and find a good time
we gone dance in the rain
until the sun shines
and I know so often
we feel lost and alone
so we find each other
and we find a way
through the unknown to where wisdom is shone
together we go
on our walk home…
