Ye who read these words are still among the living, but I who write shall have long since gone my way into the region of shadows. Plagued by ghosts from the past, my soul can find no release from its eternal sorrow. Lost loves, spirits of the dead… madmen and devils have each in turn visited me here in the solitude of my chamber, to haunt and torment me. I implore you to heed my tale, as I relate the grim and ghastly things that befell me in my darkest hour… once upon a midnight dreary…

Come, come,
here into my arms
fall to a knee,
to my pseudo-charms.

a rún is ainm dom

The day is ours, this I know,
love and lust, not flowers,
are the seeds we’ll sow

Onto the morrow
and many new morns,
and lanced shall be flesh
by concupiscent thorns.

a rún is ainm dom

and lanced shall be flesh
by concupiscent thorns

Come, come,
the sun, over us,
burns its lovers glow
and the grass projects

passions shadow below.

a rún is ainm dom
follow me to see your golden dawn

The day is ours, this I know,
love and lust, not flowers,
are the seeds we’ll sow

Onto the morrow
and many new morns,
and lanced shall be flesh
by concupiscent thorns.

and lanced shall be flesh
by concupiscent thorns

Onto the morrow
follow me to see your golden dawn
and many new morns

Welcome children, gather 'round
To heed grim tales of whispered lore—
As twilight falls, dark shadows rise
To haunt the night for evermore—
For ghastly things lurk in the dim

Beneath the shadows of your bed—
Waiting till you drift asleep
To fill your dreams with mortal dread—

Les yeux battus la mine triste
Et les joues blêmes
Tu ne dors plus
Tu n'es plus que l'ombre de toi-même
Seul dans la rue tu rôdes comme une âme en peine
Et tous les soirs sous sa fenêtre
On peut te voir

Curre 'mbraccio addu mamma,,(Bambino bambino)
Nun fa 'o scemo picceri'……(Guaglio Guaglio)
Dille tutta verita
(Bambino bambino)
Ca mamma te pò capi…

Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline
Mon petit Bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
Que tout le ciel de l'Italie
Et canta, canta de ta voix câline
Mon petit Bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux

Tu peux fumer comme un Monsieur des cigarettes
Te déhancher sur le trottoir quand tu la guettes
Tu peux pencher sur ton oreille, ta casquette
Ce n'est pas ça, qui dans son coeur, te vieillira
Curre 'mbraccio addu mamma, (Bambino bambino)
Nun fa 'o scemo picceri'…(Guaglio Guaglio)

Dille tutta verita
(Bambino bambino)
Ca mamma te pò capi…

Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline mon petit Bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
Que tout le ciel de l'Italie
Et canta, canta de ta voix câline
Mon petit Bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux

Si tu as trop de tourments.. (Bambino bambino)
Ne les garde pas pour toi (Guaglio Guaglio)
Va le dire à ta maman (Bambino bambino)
Les mamans c'est fait pour ça

Et là, blotti dans l'ombre douce de ses bras
Pleure un bon coup et ton chagrin s'envolera

Curre 'mbraccio addu mamma
Nun fa 'o scemo picceri'…
Dille tutta verita
Ca mamma te pò capi…
Bambino, mi raccomando, non fai come faccio io, te lo dice zio Tonino
Bambinooooooo
Mi raccomando Guaglio

Things will never be the same
Ever since I lost my treasure

I’m tryna find the words
It feels like I’ve been cursed
And the days are going backwards

It’s getting worse
I can't help it
I wish I never felt this and
I’ve been tryna do things
To make it all better
But my heart ripped right out my chest
The day that you left it
You’re the only thing that’s only my mind right now
I’d search the seven seas to find your place right now

I never wanted it to end, oh no
I never wanna see the 17th again
Oh, No, Never
You see ever since I lost my treasure, Gold withers
X marks the spot of my heart that’s gone forever

I looked to the stars for an answer
The sun got blocked out shortly after
Where is God when I need him
Or when can I find Eve and Adam

Or the people to blame for all these evils
Loose devils that can touch one and pass their demons
These lights don’t shimmer
Crystal, ice, and chandeliers don’t even glimmer
In my eyes anymore
There is no xmas or no gifts to give us
More precious than the ones we lose unselfishly
Knowing it’s better for them than it is for me
But, honestly
I just miss the company
And I’ll be here to you come for me
To comfort me
Oh, come to me cuz
I never wanted it to end on no
I never wanna see the 17th again
Oh no never
You see ever since I lost my treasure Gold withers
X marks the spot of my heart that’s gone forever
X marks the spot of my heart that’s gone
Silver and Gold just don’t mean as much
If you can’t share it with the ones you love, no

Do you mind what happens not?
I don't care what happens
I don't care is
It's dismissive
It's a loving indifference, a benevolent indifference as Pontius used to say
It's not an indifference that is cold
Because awareness is not an aloof, separate witness of experience locked up in an ivory tower of indifference
It is intimately one with all experience, so intimacy is its loving aspect
It doesn't know the meaning of the word resistance or rejection so it is intimately one with
And at the same time free of all experience
So it is both loving
And indifferent
So it is both loving
And indifferent
So it is not a cold indifference
It is a loving indifference

[Chorus]
Loving indifference
We're speaking about awareness
Loving indifference
There is a meaning to the words true and false
Right and wrong
Loving indifference
We're speaking about awareness
Loving indifference
The qualities that are inherent in our true nature
We're speaking about awareness, awareness, awareness
We talk about mind
That's a different matter
Because mind's experience is always divided into polarities
Good and bad, right and wrong, true and false
And at the level of mind those categories are valid
They don't pertain to consciousness
Consciousness doesn't know the difference between good and bad, there is no good or bad or right or wrong
But when consciousness assumes the form of mind
It divides itself

Into two and at that level there are differences, there are distinctions, and there is a meaning to the words

[Chorus]
Loving indifference
We're speaking about awareness
Loving indifference
There is a meaning to the words true and false
Right and wrong
Loving indifference
We're speaking about awareness
Loving indifference
The qualities that are inherent in our true nature

So in terms of ethic
What is right and what is wrong
I would suggest what is right at the level of the mind is behavior that expresses
The qualities that are inherent in our true nature
Another name for awareness is love
So behavior that is loving is an expression of the inherent quality of our true nature
The inherent quality of our true nature

[Chorus]
Loving indifference
We're speaking about awareness
Loving indifference
There is a meaning to the words true and false
Right and wrong
Loving indifference
We're speaking about awareness
Loving indifference
The qualities that are inherent in our true nature

Cruel or unkind
Unjust, unloving behavior are behaviors that
Whilst they come originally from awareness, there's no else they could come from, they are filtered through the belief in separation and as they are filtered through separation they are perverted – or distorted
So hatred, for instance, is love distorted by the sense of separation
So hatred, for instance, is love more distorted by the sense of separation

Sogno americano
Bionda come il grano
Una vita fragile
Mary si mette il suo vestito
Come una fiamma
Come un bandito
La gente pensa male
Guarda che animale
Una preda facile
Mary ride nella parrucca
Sorda al tuono e alla sua bocca

Ha l' america in giardino
Ha l' america con se
Balla ancora marylin

Balla con la luna
Balla con il sole

Balla senza musica
Per la pioggia, per la tempesta
Per un sorriso da una finestra
La gente pensa male
Tu non sei normale
Hai smarrito l' anima
Mary cambia sesso ed eta'
Per un sogno di liberta'
E l' america e' un giardino
E l' america e' per te
Balla ancora marylin

Vedo stelle soltanto se l’oroscopo è gentile ma mi sembra sera buona per comprare fiori da cortile. Gioco a mama nonmama, non sono di compagnia, chiedo alla nuova luna la luce per guardare il buio con fantasia
Dove corre la gente nella bocca del destino regalando la sua mente al potere più vicino…
Non so dove sto andando ma so che ci sto andando cammino contromano cieco e sordo al richiamo della voce del padrone, della pubblica opinione Non so dove sto andando ma so che ci sto andando ma so che ci sto andando

La mia pelle soltanto nelle braccia di un amore mai sbiadita in una divisa o in un campo a fare il girasole. Fermati viso bianco la storia ricorderà la mano che semina il grano, non quella dell’ avidità
Non so dove sto andando ma so che ci sto andando cammino contromano cieco e sordo al richiamo delle facili occasioni, delle pene, dei perdoni Non so dove sto andando ma so che ci sto andando non so dove sto andando ma so che ci sto andando ma so che ci sto andando

Bloodwitch
Make me itch
Make me come
Alive
From the dead
Come to say
Say my name

I was in the neighborhood
I’m hoping you don’t mind
My troubling you to grab a few possessions
I might have left behind

My kind of blue
We’d slow dance to
Back in the day
A hat, a pair of shades
Oh yeah and baby by the way

Won’t you gimme back my life?
Won’t you hand me my heart?
You know those few loose odds and ends
Like the earth, the moon and the stars
Won’t you give me back my world,
My sole reason to be?
Mind if I look around the place,
For the missing part of me?

Give me back those nights
Every kiss, every sigh

Just do that
And I will say goodbye

So sorry to intrude on you
Looking like such a mess
See, I packed my bags in such a rush
I forgot to pack my happiness

Won’t you gimme back my life?
Won’t you hand me my heart?
You know those few loose odds and ends
Like the earth, the moon and the stars
Won’t you give me back my world,
My sole reason to be?
Mind if I look around the place,
For the missing part of me?

Give me back all those nights
Every kiss, every sigh
Just do that
And I will say goodbye

I’ve been free to do whatever I want
To make the shows I want anywhere I want with whom I want
In any style I want
So I, at first I don’t know any other way
And by now I won’t have it any other way
Life is good
Why settle for less?

Be open to experience
Be willing to try new things
Don’t have a rigid plan except random acts of hospitality without judgment or fear
Don’t be afraid to wander
Don’t be afraid to eat a bad meal
You know, if you don’t risk the bad meal you’ll never get the magical one
But I think most important

[Chorus]
Be humble, bе grateful, be humble, bе grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful

Before I started traveling I thought that the human race as a whole will turn on itself at any moment, you know, venal, petty, cruel, arbitrarian
And it’s true that all of those things exist in this world, but
I meet mostly pretty nice people
Doing the best they can, often under very, very difficult conditions
I met a lot of very nice people who’ve done very, very bad things that conflict with my deeply-held conceptions of justice and sexual equality or acceptable practice or religious views

There are a lot of gray areas in travel
But I think that on balance the world is filled with people doing the best they can, you know?
The best they can, you know?

[Chorus]
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful

I’ve been fired many times during my cooking career
I was not a particularly good chef
I had a lot of problems at various parts of my career with narcotics
You know, I accepted failure as a chef because I was at various times a bad chef
And even a bad person
These days if I fail it’s because I try to do something and did not succeed
Or I just was just was not able to do what I hoped to do or wanted to do
But I would much rather that
I would much rather fail gloriously than
Not try
I’m not interested in telling stories with competence
I’m looking at telling ’em with some style and originality and some creativity

Sean Paul is releasing a new album with a slew of dancehall artists on the guest list, a total of 15 collaborative singles.

The dancehall star announced that he will be dropping off one of two albums on March 12. The project titled Live N Livin will feature 20 veteran and relatively new artists who have no doubt left an impact on the dancehall arena. The 16-track album will have guest stars from Damian Jr. Gong Marley, Buju Banton, Serani, Mavado, and Busy Signal to Intence, Squash, Skillibeng, Masicka, Govana, and more.

Executively produced by Dutty Rock Productions, Live N Livin’ is distributed by ONErpm who is happy to work with the international dancehall sensation on a project of such relevance. “We are all excited at ONErpm to be partnering with Sean Paul and Dutty Rock for the release of this timely and well-curated album, ‘Live N Livin’. We look forward to assist in broadening the reach of dancehall globally” Martin Price, ONErpm’s Director of A&R for Africa and North America said in a statement.

Sean Paul often talks about how “clash culture” is more detrimental to the culture of dancehall music than we realize. Now, he seems intent on proving that by dropping one of the biggest features albums that we’ve seen from him yet.

Sean Paul Live N Livin album cover

“It was important to me to show that in our genre of dancehall, we don’t need to clash in order to attain the spotlight,” Sean Paul explained. “We don’t need to divide our fans to attain the rotations on the airwaves or streams. Over the years myself, Shaggy, and more recently Koffee, Shenseea and others are tapping into the world stage and we are not clashing our co-workers, nor are we dividing our fans. This album ‘Live N Livin’ is an album I hold very dear to my heart because it shows the effort of collaboration over confrontation.”

Sean Paul announced in January that he will be releasing two projects this year. The next album to follow will be Scorcher which will feature international acts like Sia, Gwen Stefani as well as women in dancehall like Shenseea and Jada Kingdom.

[Good – Bye]
Oh how I’m so far away
I won't need to die today
I must go into? the sea
And carry you away with me
Oh I will hold your mouth in mine
Like I have time after time
Give you all breath real slowly
Take your heart beats silently
It will be mine no heart of mine

No more will taste of your kind
Sink in the cold absence
Lay you down for your decedent
This will be the darkest time
To see your body part from mine
Watch the water rest
Oh how time may will do that
[Good Bye]

The wild winds weep
and the night is a-cold;
Come hither, sleep,
and my griefs infold :
but lo ! The morning peeps
ove the eastern steeps,
and the rustling birds of dawn
the earth do scorn.

Lo ! To the vault
of paved heaven,
with sorrow fraught
my notes are driven :

they strike the ear of night,

make weep the eyes of day ;
They make mad the roaring winds,
and with tempests play.

Like a fiend in a cloud,
with howling woe,
after night I do crowd,
and with night will go;
I turn back to the easat,
from whence comforts have increa´d;
For light doth seize my brain with frantic pain.

Well it seems such a long time
Since our love had it’s day
You hope it knew the times I tried not let you slip away
Not always eye to eye looking at what’s new
You know it wont be easy, being without you

You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at love baby
Take one last look at the love we’re leaving behind
One last look, there’ll be no more making your mind up
One last look at love oh oh

I realise you’re changing
You know it needs to be
I didn’t know this trust in you would take your love from me

We gave each other something we outgrew yesterdayI hope that you remember, how love it was with me

You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at love baby
Take one last look at the love we’re leaving behind
One last look, there’ll be no more making your mind up
One last look at love
You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at loveTake one last look at the love we’re leaving behind
One last look, there’ll be no more making your mind up
One last look , one last look at love

You won’t ever see me falling to my knees
I won’t live for something that I can’t see

Sombrero d'occasione
Pelliccia di visone si
Trovano stranieri
Nella loro città
È stato solo un
Giorno e poi
Malinconia
Il tempo di un
Abbandono
E sei volata via

[Intro]
Ayoburr
Here we go

[Chorus: AKA]
Thinking to myself, what's the reason that I even started making music in the first place
Only thing I needed was some petrol money
Little mami and a fake gold chain
Do you ever look yourself inside a mirror?
God forgive me for my old mistake
Your holy spirit flowing in me like a river
Saint John
King James (Yebo)
Pro Kid (Yebo)
Lebron James (Yebo)
K. Forbes (Yebo)
Bruce Wayne (Yebo)
I got the jacket with the Michael Jackson zipper
Moonwalk
Champagne (Yebo)

[Verse 1: AKA]
Ekse!
It's time to look alive
f*ck a Insta-live
All of that drip in your closet, but you can't go outside
Who you gon' show it to? You can't go to Taboo
This ain't no carnival, niggas is vulnerable
You can depend on Vetkuk-Mahoota the rent is due
You need a miracle
I go to Woolworths, come back and feel terrible
It's easy to stay home
When you ain't gotta deal with no domestic abuse
Please count your blessings
Don't be complaining about your Wi-Fi connection
Don't pay attention to them brand influencers
They can't do jack shit because, influenza
I can't relate cause of the standards I put in place
You taking us backwards
I like your beats but all your lyrics is plastic
There's only one Kiernan Jarryd
Ohh you blowin' up?
Fantastic
[Bridge: AKA]
Thinking to myself, what's the reason that I even started making music in the first place
Only thing I needed was some petrol money
Little mami and a fake gold chain (Yebo)
I got the jacket with the Michael Jackson zipper (Yebo)
Moonwalk (Yebo)
Champagne (Yebo)
All this competition turned me to a killer (Yebo)
Stay solid (Yebo)
Bill Gates (Yebo)

[Verse 2: AKA]
You know this ain't my first rodeo
I don't show love but my photographer Romeo
End of the month, lean on your boy like a Quad
You come up short like it's polio
Spending your dough
Your nose looking like pinocchio
Romany-Creams
That's my portfolio

That was the shit before we heard about Oreo
These type of treats on the reserve for the older folks
You know you gotta get Santi on a lean
How many sugars?
That's how it is
Go boil the kettle
Take care of the kids
My baby you deserve a gold medal
Rose petal, the finer things
[Chorus: AKA]
Thinking to myself, what's the reason that I even started making music in the first place
Only thing I needed was some petrol money
Little mami and a fake gold chain
Do you ever look yourself inside a mirror?
God forgive me for my old mistake
Your holy spirit flowing in me like a river
Saint John, King James, Pro Kid, Lebron James, K. Forbes, Bruce Wayne
I got the jacket with the Michael Jackson zipper
Moonwalk, champagne

[Verse 3: Yanga Chief]
Shampopo, my closet need more Gucci-Dior-go
Since timely put my face on the logo
It's Yanga when he off the gologo
Where I'm at it's a no go
Sure Pop
Ma-Cherry ndisawabambe nge-ncoko
They tryna' profit of my hustle in short forth
Training just to fight with the po-po
I'm started looking something like Tompo
Sending love to magogo
If I don't make it they gon' send me to Polsmor
We-Forbes
Super villain of course
Heavy with the women siyabaphilisa Nkosi
Love me when I'm winning that's a gift and a curse
But she don't f*ck with liquor but she sippin' the purp
I need a rollie and a mansion for the week
Bryanston, let me live
Never had assistance so I did it for myself
Man in the mirror you're movie time show
[Chorus: AKA]
Thinking to myself, what's the reason that I even started making music in the first place
Only thing I needed was some petrol money
Little mami and a fake gold chain
Do you ever look yourself inside a mirror?
God forgive me for my old mistake
Your holy spirit flowing in me like a river
Saint John, King James, Pro Kid, Lebron James, K. Forbes, Bruce Wayne
I got the jacket with the Michael Jackson zipper
Moonwalk, champagne
