Lyrics:
BIRD FLU SEASON, nobody could fly
reminiscent of 75
when everyone was high
the peasant in disguise
call him hollow hearted zorro
he’ll swallow all his pride like a good boy,
the promo, the mixtape ,the world tour exposure
the people who never believed are now screaming i told ya
they ayatollah soul controller holder of the spell book
i eat amongst the devils and throw dice with hells cooks
whats for dinner, probably ego and jealousy
and it taste so good, i don’t know if i’ll ever let it be
honestly, the cost you pay is honesty/
some of us are rich and some are broke, if your on to me
theres nothing wrong with looking up, but never honor me
the spirit is in all of us, this flesh exists dishonestly
pre written prophecy burned in a dream
so you learn very quickly that your worth is your cream
so you work till your conscience is clean, or at least until ya pockets reach desired heights of topless regime
heres the offer this the scene
have the fame and fancy things
at first its surface level, materialism clings
to the edge of precedence set sentences to detonate this is fate
this is fate
this is fake
what
this is fake…

go ahead and grind lil brotha get ya cake
just remember this is fake
go ahead lil sister get ya cake
go ahead and grind big brother get ya cake
just remember this fake
goahead and grind big sister get ya cake
just remember this is fake

From our friends at www.greencouchsessions.ca

We met up with Band of Skulls at the Commodore Ballroom just as their string of press interviews were finishing up. The band was excited to be in Vancouver and playing a sold out show at the beautiful venue.

We strolled out of the Commodore and onto the street making our way to Robson Square where the couch was waiting patiently for us in the roof top garden. Matthew, Russell and Emma played their single “Sweet Sour ” for us. Harmonizing oh so smoothly as traffic rushed around below us.

The track list of this podcast is articulated by many originals and doesn’t fail to make you think of warm festival vibes.

Watch for Yan rocking the 4.30am set following the first night of this two night festival. Also, rumour has it that will be a top secret visual treat to go with Yan’s performance. Make sure you don’t miss all the excitement!

SeedStock! Seeding Vancouver’s first community currency [GROUNDED NEWS]

Syd Woodward — Thu, 10 May 2012 21:00:18 +0000

What if there were a way for communities to create their own currencies – ones that truly serve them? Cooperative currencies that, instead of dividing people, could actually help communities heal by reconnecting with themselves?

Introducing SeedStock, a new currency for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland that will reconnect our communities with the people, businesses and organisations that feed us, create for us and heal us. In the process, it will help us reconnect with our dreams of a more positive future for our communities by unleashing the collective energy to turn those visions into reality. SeedStock is money as though people, communities and relationships mattered.

There is a passionate group of people here in Vancouver working hard to transform this vision of a new currency into a reality, and they need your support. This event is part of a crowdfunding campaign being launched this month to arm us with the seed money that the SeedStock project needs to get off the ground. Jordan Bober and Andrew Perry, the project initiators, will share why they believe the time has come for Vancouver’s first community currency and how we are going to make it happen.

We are inviting all who support our vision to get behind this project by pro-actively transforming their money. Will you be counted among the pioneers who helped start something truly revolutionary in Vancouver? All attendees will return home with a stake in this new currency.

Join us for an illuminating evening as we share, in prose, poetry and song, our vision of how, by changing the money game we choose to play, we can unleash the incredible potential of this city.

We are thrilled to be joined at this event by world-renowned community currency pioneer and visionary Michael Linton. With special guest performances by musicians Buckman Coe, Zamir Dhanji and Corrina Keeling, spoken word artists Johnny McRae and Hazel Bell-Koski, this is an evening you will not want to miss!

Seating is limited – reserve yours today!

Doors 7pm, program starts at 7:15pm sharp.

Keep on moving til the first rays of dawn
Keeping in on til the day stays strong
Roll until the night time blazes on
All along, I keep singing my song

I say, this phase is old ways
Sometimes I get so crazed
But just know that I’ll always stay
Cause you’re my light through the haze

It’s time for a champion
To sooth the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Til the sun comes up again

Time for a champion
To sooth the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Til the sun comes up again

(Chorus)
Reach for the sky; keep your eye on the prize
Forever in my mind, be my golden sunshine
It’s raining in your mind so push them clouds aside
Forever by my side, you’re my golden sunshine

When the sun set, I let myself down
Found the ground beneath my feet gone
No more words were there to speak
On that day my song was born

Never meant to leave you all alone
Said I’d be your shelter from the storm
Now your clothes have all been torn
Kingdom sacked attacked and dethroned

It’s time for a champion
To sooth the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Til the sun comes up again

Time for a champion
To sooth the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Til the sun comes up again

(Chorus)
Reach for the sky; keep your eye on the prize
Forever in my mind, be my golden sunshine
It’s raining in your mind so push them clouds aside
Forever by my side, you’re my golden sunshine

It’s the way of the world
You’re on your own
time to grow and be a man
Wanna fly high like peter pan

No more never never land
Just lose your backpack filled with sand
Come along and take my hand, we’ll walk together walk forever

Reach for the sky; keep your eye on the prize
Forever in my mind, be my golden sunshine
It’s raining in your mind so push them clouds aside
Forever by my side, you’re my golden sunshine

Reach for the sky; keep your eye on the prize
Forever in my mind, be my golden sunshine
It’s raining in your mind so push them clouds aside
Forever by my side, you’re my golden sunshine

Oh, oh, oh, walk with me now, talk with me now
Oh, oh, oh, walk with me now, talk with me now baby
Oh, oh, oh, walk with me now, talk with me now baby
Oh, oh, oh, walk with me now, talk with me now
