supper Sounds playlist: Do I Move You? Nina Simone Why (What's Goin On?) The Roots

Keepin' your head above water, hustlin' to survive Some people chasin' a dream, others just chasin' a high Some people blind leading the blind, they chasin' a lie Some people chokin' backs broken barely makin' it by But still they workin' all they live, they pushin' for the light Givin' everything they got to stitch them swishes on ya Nike's Puttin' pockets on our jeans, mining diamonds for them rings Rewarded with small change and bullets in the brains And it makes me feel strange everything we take for granted At times I feel stranded on this planet of mine Now should I pull the hammer, clap it out, and laugh about it Or stand up, be counted while I cast my ballot When the undertaker's busy and the prison's is crowded People livin' in fear because they vision is clouded But the sky's the limit, I ain't cryin' you a river Gotta move me a mountain, I'm a git up and shout it Why?

Culture Of Fear Thievery Corporation

Let me just back up slowly with critical analysis Of those who control me It used to be just had a screen in the crib on the TV But now we carry screens when we leave See laptops, smart phones, now we're never alone A little affliction I call a media dome But on the low famine is the programmin' You want to watch your favorite show because it's so slammin' Hold hands and let's gaze into the beautiful glare While we're here so immersed in this culture of fear, fear, fear Yo we fear the IRS, fear the INS, fear God I'm more afraid of a credit card than a terror squad But really y'all, we're suspecting the weapons overseas, Yet Master Card and VISA won't allow me to breathe They deceive the enemy is in the fine print They assassinate salad with no single assailant Walls I am stealing to get the view of the blue skies Beautiful ? trying to survive ? Representin' element ahead, a sentiment that you feel When you know for real The deal starts with a sparkle moved with a handshake Physical to alter your subliminal landscape You leave thinking I can really trust that guy To be honest with you, you should've really punched that guy Now it's operation shake-a-banker, thank-you for the loan See you when you come to repossess my home Alone at night, sweating of visions of Armageddon I've never seen the threat, yet I feel threatened Parts of our society designed to smear freedom Don't succumb to this culture fear Don't succumb to this culture fear Don't succumb to this culture fear 

Lockdown Anderson .Paak

We was tryin' to protest, then the fires broke out Look out for the secret agents, they be planted in the crowd Said, "It's civil unrest" but you sleep so sound Like you don't hear the screams when we catchin' beatdowns Stayin' quiet when they killin' *****, but you speak loud When we ride, got opinions comin' from a place of priv' Sicker than the COVID, how they did him on the ground Speakin' of the COVID, is it still goin' around? Oh, won't you tell me 'bout the lootin', what's that really all about? 'Cause they throw away ____ lives like paper towels Plus unemployment rate, what, forty million now? Killed a man in broad day, might never see a trial

Spring Is Here John Coltrane

Where Is The Love? Black Eyed Peas  

… Overseas, yeah, they trying to stop terrorism
(Where's the love?)
Over here on the streets the police shoot the people
Put the bullets in 'em
(Where's the love?)
But if you only got love for your own race
(Where's the love?)
Then you're gonna leave space for others to discriminate
(Where's the love?)

… And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how hate works and operates
Man, we gotta set it straight
Take control of your mind and just meditate
And let your soul just gravitate to the love
So the whole world celebrate it

… People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preachin'?
Would you turn the other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin' on
Can't we all just get along?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where's the love?)

Check Please!

Full Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse... Tonight! 

02:55 AM EST - 

Fully visible across North America and most of South America, where totality will seen in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Western Europe and parts of West Africa will catch totality at moonset. In New Zealand, the eclipse will be partially visible as the moon rises on March 14.

Also known as the Blood Moon, this full moon is one of the most intense of the year. It accelerates whatever process of completing a particular chapter or cycle in your life you are engaged with. It is as if you are being cosmically pushed to the next level, ready or not. So do not take this time lightly but do some serious work around what needs to happen in your life. Remember that you cannot fix another’s issues, however you can hold prayer and space for them to find their way.

This is an important time to focus on your well-being and what brings you a sense of security. It is also conducive to opening more deeply to your intuition and the wisdom of your heart. You “know” emotionally what is right. Some letting go may be required, so don’t resist.

*A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and moon line up such that Earth casts a shadow on the lunar surface. During "totality," the moon moves through Earth's umbra, the dark center of its shadow, giving rise to the red-hued "Blood Moon".
