I’ve lived in this space
This time and this race
I’ve lived many lives
Died many times
Died many times
These eyes on my face
Where can I feel safe
Give me a town
Give me a name
Give a me a sound
Give me a day
(Spoken word)
So Ive left the sanctuary
Sighs and breathe ins
February I marched
to the war outside
Exhale my sleep-ins
Migraines from
lucid dreaming
Different states
Different dialogue
They gave me
another tongue
To speak with
One with the country
Too many people
Back in the sixties
Living in excess
So much to process
Give me a potion
Give me a potion
Give me emotion
Give me yeah Give me
Give me a drop to
keep the pain at bay

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
