Eight Soundcloud musicians together, what an experience!

I wet my pants and at the same time I am incredibly proud. This song is one of the most exciting I've ever done.

I am really grateful for the encouragement from all sides during the process, thank you very much!

*Black Into Blue*

(Frawstakwa)

we’ve dreamt in the darkness ending with dawn

opening upon vast expanses beyond

the shadows of structures we’re stretching across

intersections of our systems of thought

which should serve to strengthen us all

awakening the sleeping dragon c’mon

I take it we might need to break down some walls

to let in some light clear the air knock it off

(Couch)

I’ve been holdin’ on vision goin’ strong

Days are long not looking forward to the dawn

When the rays are gone sleep can linger on

Eternal rest I’d be blessed ain’t saying sinners wrong

I can confess but god be my witness

I never did much harm so why do I feel forlorn

Manifest the stress of the station I was born

You gave me hope but I was torn pessimistic

Fellin’ the pressure to be realistic

That’s a whole lotta haters talking

That’s my inner mocking

That’s the life generations have been walking

That’s the future for my kids I’ve been hopping I’ve been stopping

You say it’s just me who’s been blocking

Ain’t knocking the pursuit but startin’ negative on the loot

Got me resolute this dream was never true

For me

Still heading black into blue

We’ll see

(Frawstakwa)

if not that then let us pause

in silent reflection a song

somehow inspiring awe

black into blue and I yawn

as the eastern pearl of blonde

rises and fires a shot

from where the horizon was born

that single line on the dot

signed sealed delivered and hot

get up give it all you’ve got

we’re only here on this rock

to do what we need to so what do you want?

time for me to stop

(Stoney)

keep your head strong, when light comes, I will meet you where

the sky will brighten up my dear,

your eyes will finally see clear,

outside it's too cold for this fear,

black into blue, this bruise will heal

is the dream ending here, goodbye to the fear, from cave I appear

the sky will brighten up my dear,

your eyes will finally see clear,

outside it's too cold for this fear,

black into blue, this bruise will heal
