  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    I made this bookmark from an old book, then I hand wrote two lines from two songs on V and laminated it. Ribbon color might vary, and also found this nice vintage gold ribbon for the bag that has been hand screened. I made the ceramic eye and you get the full deal-the ep, the sticker, coloring page, temp. tattoo. Want it signed? Just say the word (and to whom, if you'd like it personalized...)

about

Currently, this is my son who has Down Syndrome's favorite song. He's non verbal, so it's cool to watch his demeanor change when this song kicks in

I wrote so many potential lyrics for this song, pages and pages. This goes back to the "we are all one" idea, and the idea of women/mothers/mother of creation.

I had always admired Jay Z's line, "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man" and refer to it here.

One of the coolest things on this track is Anthony's drum loop that he rigged up --I don't think he was playing spoons but it was something like that. It might be on his instagram.

I also tried to play around with my syncopation, not getting it directly on the beat, which was fun to do. Sort of like a floor routine, learning a new twist.

lyrics

I’m a writer
I’m a word
I’m a story
You haven’t heard

I’m a snarl
I’m a scream
I’m the haunting
In my dream

So what you trying to do to me
What you trying to say
What you wanna do to me
What you wanna say

I have no future
I’ve no past
I’m the first one
I’m the last

I’m an invocation
I’m a curse
I could be better
I could be worse

So what you trying to do to me
What you trying to say
What you wanna do to me
What you wanna say

I’m creation
I’m a thought
I’m a product
I am bought

I’m a start up
I’m a brand
I’m an industry
I’m a hand

So what you trying to do to me
What you trying to say
What you wanna do to me
What you wanna say
