The tracks on it and why??? I have even written the words actual lyrics to the songs. That’s the third time in my musical career. As told to me by a “uncle” you are pop but your lyrics are not pop. Poptastick i am. Lyrics define whats pop or not pop. Simple. Love is pop i write about Love. Real love. Real people love.The tracks on this festival of album ….
1/ For all the children
For all the children – is a “Evergreen Luck Classic ” in the Luck song book it’s a song very close to me i have recorded it twice i think maybe even more over the last two decades. This time round sharp snappy and “in there” it talks about second and third generation migrants- talks about children raised in “care homes’ and “broken homes” and “where drugs replaced hugs and money became God” its from the perspective of the adult -talking to the child – the adult is asking the child for forgiveness. We know many feel that song and many are still unable to make peace with their past their upbringing and what actually happened. Healing comes when truth is spoken expressed and embraced.

2/One world
Another “Evergreen Luck classic” A song that talks about race culture migrancy with crucial opening words ,” I cant change my skin or where i am from” non truer word say. We cant change what skin we were born in or the country where we are from. Yet, It is a poptimistic song. This song means so much to so many peoples. Its crucial to not let fear bullies and “leaders” stop/block/hinder us from making a better world for all the children….
3/ Pass it on Only recorded once before. The lyrics are inspired by Oz and “new nations”. Its a Rock track with fatt Rock riffz. The recording this time and structure is correct. I chose that track it has rock sensibility and hip-hope crossover which is again one of me loves . I am also in that song talking about “underground” and those of us that make that jump into the fire. For the fire is the heart and we must heal the heart. Hypocrisy is not a friend it is our enemy. The moral imperative is peaceful conclusions in that there must be justice and resolutions. The lyrics for me are some of my recent favourites. They make me and those that like song laugh. As well as other emotions….
4/Respect Mother Earth
Respect mother earth. Never before recorded released. We musically move into reggae rock territory as a “Jamaicanstaanee” it is one of me forte’s. I was called a “Jamaicanstaanee” by elders from Jamaica because i valued and learnt the musical art forms from that region. I also recognised Africa and what that meant to “The Great British Empire ” and those roots and culture. I think i do “Babar Reggae”(those great musicians from the 50’s 60’s & 70’s 80’s are what i am stil inspired by) To me its about recognising the past studying what happened listhening listhening and listhening…Was very happy with the mix and what magic was weaved by the Blind Watchmakers. The love of nature and respect for nature and how we farm and cultivate and feed humanity. Is something that needs to work with mother earth rather then against it. Leaders and those that control our lives “for their short term profit they have given up on the next generations.”

5/Slaves be free Is another track that’s “Babar Reggae” but more dubb infact – this lyricaly talks about how humans my self included throw stones and ideas and blame others for their “failings”. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We are a part of this world. We have to accept responsibility for actions and decisions. Then to act upon them. Forgiveness can only come via changed behaviour. Also it deals with all the “truths” all the “ideologies”that i hold close to me. No one can be free till we are all free. There is a place in the choir for all the children. Justice is a Mustice.
6/ white Skin against Mine
This is a song oft requested from my Luck catalogue. Never recorded with a full band. This is a love song about me first girlfriend and all the racism we faced from all sides. Not much has changed sadly. We as a human race are very tribal and prejudice. The rise of fascism and right wing ideologies are never too far away. The world is even harsher and more challenging when one dates outside race and culture. The words used by our elders still ring true. They in their reality wanted to protect us from prejudice. To embrace love talk about love and live love is truth. The world does get more diverse. This cant be stopped. More shades of hue….. 3 or four cultures exist in many households. That’s a good thing. If all those cultures are recognised equally. The mixing. It is something as i say one cant stop. To love who we wish to love without fear or ridicule is essential in all worlds. Love that song still makes me smile. Continue to love and cherish each other regardless of faith culture and background.
