Ali

Andrew Furth

Wrote this song about Muhammed Ali. The greatest, as well as the most ironic and inspirational story of all time. A fighter who refused to fight because of the strength of his belief.

Notes

Ali.

flutter like a butterfly. sting like a bumble. missiles from the blind side. and you stumble.

stand tall. talk truth. and follow me.

because the greatest only good, when your hands writing history.

his name was brother Ali and he talk fast, and his feet quicker than a thunderclap. and his beat poetry an Everlast blast to your face from a storied past. 

stand tall. talk truth. and follow me.

because the greatest only good, when your hands writing history.

awake a dream. some sight unseen. one fight, believe. the greatest story ever told been told before. the greatest story ever told is told no more.

Notes

crush.

young people music to get stoned and discover love to. sex and happiness - drugs and invincibility. innocence. growth.

and you move past it.

into a world of plastic flowers, adult conversation, and proper etiquitte. words are minced, emotion faked, truth only as often as talk is straight.

and it moves past you.

as the weight of the 9-5 leaves its footprints all over your ambition. as your inhibitions overtake any sort of dream-filled vision of what you can offer tomorrow.

except for the lucky few.

we put them up on pedestals and record stores and bookshelves. revealing themselves at the perfect time.

a long lost friend.

a window to the discovery of someone else’s immortality.

power. authenticity. a rose. your first time. all that’s pure and real and makes you feel so much.

a crush.

die tomorrow, live today. say it your own way, with action and expression - not conflict and oppression.

lest you be crushed.

Notes

Recorded in my sophomore year dorm room haha. Still play this song every now and then.

Torn Up Head (Four and Twenty)

Coldwater Mystic

figured today would be an appropriate time to post the audition tape i used to score the lead singer spot in my reggae band. it’s called “torn up head (four and twenty).”

happy holidays :).

coldwatermystic:

This is Andrew’s audition demo. He sent this to us while we were looking for Dan’s replacement. If anyone’s feeling the mid-week hangover, you know know what to do.

“Torn up head, but I fix it with my four and twenty.”

Happy holidays.

Notes

Speaking of originality.

The never-before-been-conceived. A faint whim in the back of not-yet-jaded minds. A faint wind blow Chicago smoke over Kingston mines. The essence of an underground, over-land movement. Stealing roots of thought from the deepest recesses of youthful enthusiasm. Watering them.

I speak of originality. I speak of truth. I will reblog/retweet/mistreat no longer - except to give life to intellectual conversation that would otherwise continue to be buried amidst the chaos.

Be original.

Notes

Sat in with some friends in the Boston group, “Headroom” at the House of Blues Boston last Friday. Here’s our take of the Allman Brothers’ “Whipping Post.”
