Tu piel Me quiero envolver, en tu piel Bonita Bonita que tal? Tu, mi amor, me vuelves loco Tu, mi amor, me vuelves tan loco Mas dulce que la miel Mas bella que la flor Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Mas loco que tu

You can say that you want something Easier to feel But you can’t put out The fire in my soul My heart will roam like water Searching for a groove And I found it in the verse Of your mystic rose I wanna flow, flow, flow with the river I wanna flow, flow, float downstream I wanna flow, flow, flow with the river Because I know, oh yes I know, she carries me You take all the gold in Egypt Down to Mexico And buy a big ol’ house For all the world to see I’ll cross the barren deserts All across the globe Cuz it was always you And your subtle majesty I wanna flow, flow, flow with the river I wanna flow, flow, float downstream I wanna flow, flow, flow with the river Because I know, oh yes I know, she carries me As you step across the water Radiant and new With a thousand answers Glowing in your smile My heart will ask no questions Right where I belong All the world Cloaked in mystery I wanna flow, flow, flow with the river I wanna flow, flow, float downstream I wanna flow, flow, flow with the river Because I know, oh yes I know, she carries me

WHAT IS PEACE? What is peace? What is peace? Where does it live? Where does it begin? Could a body become water? Could a body become the sea? Could a body become the river Just until the bombing stops? Could salt tears become shields? Could salt tears become shields? Could salt tears become shields? Just until the last bomb drops When life is running out When life is running out When life is running out When war is the word What is peace?

Can't take back what I said Tightly I hold the seat To keep me from floating up and up and up Nah, but it feels so easy now that you asked I'll say it a second time Just want to know for sure Yea I've been here before, just one more block Don't even stress yourself, we've got 2 more dishes to taste Should I stay or go? What's responsible? The time is passing by, and damn I miss them so so Should we stay or go? Should we stay or go? We got the ride but we don't have the green light, no no Short of sensational I'll savor just one more Sometimes I need division Deflecting off the light I saw when I went to leave Should I stay or go? What's responsible? Do I prefer the comforts of where we were? Should we stay or go? Should we stay afloat? A little reminiscent but I'm not sure I still know that taste, I still know that taste And I'm afraid of what'll come up in its place Hand in hand, new year new lease Where will we sleep tonight?

When you wake up Take a look at your face Tell me how you feel So good about The things that you do
6.
A silver stream of tears meets my chin tonight. A collection of my fears and sins wrap tight. Around my aching mind I sit with you and say I know I'm fine, but I'm not ok. I know your'e mine but I can't trust that you'll stay. I feel the pain of an era inside my bones. Feel the stain of my humor laugh alone. When will things change? When will things change?
7.
In a dream in a dream in a dream in a dream When I wake when I wake when I wake You’re with me, life is long In a dream, in a song Misery, misery, misery, misery Where to be, where to run, when to feel, when to love In a dream in a dream in a dream in a dream When I wake when I wake when I wake

A security guard stopped me to offer an overview on Phenomenal Nature She said sculpture’s not just formed from penetration. You see, men have lost touch with the feminine! And with her pink lipstick and her queens accent, she went on for a while about our president I asked the bookkeeper at the Inn of the 7th Ray to tell me what he knew about St. Germaine He told me about chakras, karma, and the purple flame, the birth of the cosmos, ascended masters, & the astral plane He said, you know, the mind The mind is just a hard drive In this life, the mind is just a hard drive Darryl’s been teaching me how to drive I finally got my license when I was 35 Speeding up the west side, changing lanes He reminds me to leave room for grace He said, have you been seeing your therapist? You seem on a little edge, are you always this nervous? I said yeah, and this is a hard drive Yeah, this is just a hard drive Yeah, a hard drive, mmhm I ran into Peri at Lola’s place Her gemstone eyes caught my gaze She said, Oh my dear I can see you’ve had a rough few months. But this year? It’s gonna be a good one. I’ll count to three and tap your shoulder, we’re gonna put your heart back together So, all those little pieces they took from you? You’ll get em back now They’ll miss em too So close your eyes, I’ll count to three Take a deep breath Count with me She said, 1, 2, 3 alright 1, 2, 3 Just breath 1, 2, 3 Count with me 1, 2, 3 All those little pieces 1, 2, 3 They’re comin back now Are you ready? 1, 2, 3

Que es lo que te inspira? Toda esta vida Fluye como corriente y sube como el mar Te sigo contando Ayer me fui volando Entre tierra Y profunda agua Hasta la cima de un volcán Y desde muy alto Unas voces entre niebla Contaba un coro y decía Viva palestina What we pay attention to What we give our loving to What I’m trying to say is Someone caught a fire Set themselves on fire Someone caught a fire What I’m trying to say is We could start a fire There go all the borders There go all the killings What I’m trying to say is We should be so willing We could be so willing Maybe we start dreaming Then we can start doing But we are so willing Yeah we are still willing (Revolving verses) VIVA PALESTINA Que es lo que te inspira? Toda esta vida Fluye como corriente Y sube como el mar Te sigo contando Ayer me fui volando Entre tierra y profunda agua Hasta la cima de un volcán Fui a la cima de un volcán Es lo que me inspira Toda esta vida

Of all the blood you have, im half but Of the time we spent you've had the most Not close or are we Cause you are still the only sister i have ever known And that i proudly own I love you, not cause i have to Of everything you are, i know you've guarded me with all You've shown me parties and hard discarding of our foes Fuck those people who dont know We arent perfect are we opposites i don't know But i’ll always show up back at your door Til we grow up no more Of everyone i can recall you are the most eccentric of all Never forget times we spent those kids, oh sister Your picture it lives in my notebook Oh 90210 poster and you

Wait for it now, It's doozy if you don't wait right now, 'Cause it's gonna make you wait anyhow, Even if you don't want to. Do do do.... Wait for it now, Taking time away can help you find out, 'Cause you're gonna have to learn anyhow, Even if you don't want to. Do do do.... Wait for it now, Wait for it now. Wait for it now, Wait for it now, Wait for it now, It's doozy if you don't wait right now, 'Cause it's gonna make you wait anyhow, Even if you don't want to. Do do do....

Let's not kid each other how you feel is how it is and no words could ever tell you different Still I wish that I had known and been there when you felt alone with stupid jokes and change of subjects Who could have shown you it gets better? Who could have known just what to do? I don't know how to stop the hurting if you start to hurt again But if you call me I'll come sit beside you

This song is more red than blue It may not sound so but it’s true I was more lost than in love with you This song is more red than blue This song is more green than blue I wish I could be more like you With a heart less wild Yes and eyes less blue I wish i could smile more like the Pretty way you do But this song is more black than blue I’ve all but forgotten about you What you mean this song? It’s not even about you This song is more me than you
20.
i looked around i found the thing i hate the most about you and what a terrible thing it was to do without a sound you scratched the surface of the taste of defeat and what a terrible thing it was to see you wanted nothing but the truth life that’s unspoken is broken open i want to know when things don’t seem like they’re much fun anymore the asterisks fall into a sequence of parts wont fix the broken hearts hesitation marks i learned to go i learned to keep my mouth shut tight around you and what a tragedy to grow in two you miss the breeze you miss the weekend love was never made free it’s all misleading when the blood runs deep ‘cause if you loved me i would know but life is formless my heart grows colder. i want to know when things don’t seem like they’re much fun anymore the asterisks fall into a sequence of parts wont fix the broken hearts hesitation marks

The shadows fall And under it all I hear you calling out my name And under the bridge I know it's the same It’s the same Yeah shadows fall But under it all I am trying to find The severance grew inside my mind And I can’t hide I never left I’m still in the car parked in the driveway I never left I’m still in the car parked in the driveway Yeah shadows fall But under it all I am trying to find The severance bloomed inside my mind And I feel fine I feel fine I feel fine

Lyrics - All you really know, all you really care All you really know, all you really care (All you really, for all, San Gabriel Didn’t expect to see you there Do you care?) Talking bout it is tripping me out That’s what I like, a dime clinking down to the bottom of the well Talking bout it when we were tripping out There was nothing we couldn’t shine a light on. A clear eye - all the way down That’s what I like How can I get more of that baby? Baby baby baby babe Don’t feed your fantasy Bad zen mind, now Anyone who knows what love is Residual psychic phenomena Nothing’s the same Nothing is the same Being bad with Irma Thomas Desire as psychic phenomena Splitting off next to me Feminist psychic read All the way down- Clear echoing sound Brutal and plain, that’s what I like A sound light- all the way down Akasha Can I get more of that baby? Baby baby baby babe What I like.. More of that.. What I like.. Can I get more of that.. Baby..? Baby..?

a ton of pods hold no peas but then some hold exactly three the boxer hates his fate a bloody face like a movie seen too young lovingly, wisdom is a scam experience only seems to weary and for every witness in the know it's all just a shit show and for a every witness in the know it's just a shit show

She inspires me Breathe life where it’s shallow She can see through things Howl instead of wallow For what it’s worth You changed the fiber of me For what’s it’s worth You chased away my peace thief Energy flowing from the roots I greet your care with gratitude Tectonic plates shift from our affection Energy flowing from the roots I greet your care with gratitude Platonic or not I think we’re going in the right direction I wanna give into A faith without religion Into a place That bonds kinship two You love me Like no obligation Play in the fantasy Of the life we are building Energy flowing from the roots I greet your care with gratitude Tectonic plates shift from our affection Energy flowing from the roots I greet your care with gratitude Platonic or not we’re going in the right direction I feel your energy flowing from the roots I greet that care with gratitude I wanna spend my life with you

morning light comes sneaking in gold strands dance across the ceiling like your hair out the window against the blue sky and the road when i look at you its like the sunrises in my chest its like the sunrise is in my chest burning, swelling light you make the sunrise even at night sometimes all i have is my song i got open arms and an open heart swelling for you i’m a believer in the good soft on your soft side promises hanging low like the clouds on the mountainside when i look at you it’s like the sunrises in my chest it’s like the sunrise is my chest sometimes all i have is my song i got open arms and an open heart swelling for you

Showing up and throwing out The trash we stack on stolen ground We build em up and knock em down Picture now the perfect view in Mountain Home with a swollen truck Planted grass that never grew That water can wasn't enough If no man's land is no one's land, Then what's the plan to clean it up? Or was that dirt what always was? The carpet pile's wearing down and now the cat is throwing up Lay em down in the lawn Lay em down in the lawn Lay em down in the lawn Lay em down in the lawn I could see as you were leaving something's crawling on the ceiling The swatter flies and knocks em down Still and lifeless on the rug A hampered heartbeat on that bug Thoughts and prayers now soon to follow I check my heart it's cold and hollow If all this violence leads to silence Then what's that sound that's turning up? Or was that buzzing in my ear? The errant drum is slowing down and now the crowd is showing up Lay em down in the lawn Lay em down in the lawn Lay em down in the lawn Lay em down in the lawn

Hey man, here’s your revolution! Hey man, gonna kick it to ya! I’m screaming hallelujah! Tear down the institution, that is the one solution. Get your hands a little dirty and destroy. So I make noise. I like to make noise. Blim blam and a na na na na. Beat it up and sock it to ya. Yes, I’m an anarchist at heart. This for my generation! Eliminate the abomination! Get your hands a little dirty and destroy. Cuz I make noise. I like to make noise. Don’t ask me to smile. Not when it’s my face. You think I should think like you think? i think I think…what bloody waste. So I make noise. I like to make noise. Baby, don’t need your saving. Well I’ve done pretty well on my own, and I’ve managed to get myself to this point. So if ya get anymore bright ideas, go on and keep them to yourself. Cuz I make noise. I like to make noise.

I almost felt you touching me just now I wish I knew which way to turn and go I feel so good and then, then I feel so bad I wonder what I ought to do If I could only fly, if I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you But I can hardly stand and I got no where to run Another sinking sun and one more lonely night The wind keeps blowing, somewhere, everyday They tell me things get better, somewhere, up the way Just dismal thinking on a dismal day And sad songs for us to bare If I could only fly, if I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you But I can hardly stand and I got no where to run Another sinking sun and one more lonely night You know, sometimes, I write happy songs Then some little thing goes wrong I wish they all could make you smile Tomorrow maybe we could get away I’m coming home soon and I wanna stay wish you could come with me when I go again If I could only fly, if I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you But I can hardly stand and I got no where to run Another sinking sun and one more lonely night If I could only fly, if you could only fly If we could only fly, there’d be no more lonely nights

The moon lit up your room Didn't I take a break from you? Wasn't I the idiot? Didn't I just stumble in? That one's Venus, and that one's Mars. That's a star that fills my heart. That's the year that you were born, It looks like a distant storm. That flame is so far away, yet still it burns like it's today. Because I am the idiot, I cannot help but to touch it.

Time forgot me here Waiting for my head to clear Laughing backwards felt like enough Learned some new bad words You caught a bad cough Cut me off to tell me I was right Set me on fire so I could be your guiding light Thirst for power, hunger for fame Always was a junkie for pain Time to swallow bitter pills Rectify the countless ills I've committed in the name of healing Cut me off to tell me I was right Set me on fire so I could be your guiding light If everyone was a color You'd be red and I'd be orange Even though I don't like orange Just so I could sit next to you in the rainbow Time forgot me here to think About what I've done Pull me back from the brink Look ambition in the face Face the facts and throw the race Cut me off to tell me I was right Set me on fire so I could be your guiding light

unverified one in a million one in four one in three late last night I asked the question I asked myself my shadow me they warn us of waves the harbor resonates I got my answer while lost in a dream caught my reflection or was it me waves of people lost to the sea face in your hands earth mover earth moves like water again and again a bare lot for new homes on the bones of my friends

I had a little book Was given to me And every page Spelled liberty All my trials Soon be over There is a tree In paradise And the pilgrims call it The tree of life All my trials Soon be over But it's too late, my friend Too late But never mind All my trials Soon be over If religion were a thing That money could buy Then the rich would live And the poor would die All my trials Will soon be over

You never held me before I held my own without a hero Imitating the marble columns While my guards were asleep on the French shore You’re never coming back here So I wage my castle wars Can anybody hear me? Take a step to the left and battle me, battle me Take a step to the right, fight castle wars Our bodies are angry tonight Why sit around and think about it? Let’s do something right for once, Let’s stand out the window and take aim You’re never coming back here So I wage my Take a step to the left and battle me, battle me Take a step to the right, fight castle wars Push it all to the back and battle me, battle me Leave it all in the past, fight Castle wars Satan walks in and tells it like it is I’m a survivor of unoriginal sin You shake me awake and remind me who I am I’m a survivor Take a step to the left and battle me, battle me Take a step to the right, fight castle wars Push it all to the back and battle me, battle me Leave it all in the past, fight Castle wars

Time after time I tell myself that I'm So lucky to be loving you So lucky to be The one you run to see In the evening, when the day is through I only know what I know The passing years will show You've kept my love so young, so new And time after time You'll hear me say that I'm So lucky to be loving you

46.
Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sing Sail to me Sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks And you sing Touch me not Touch me not Come back tomorrow Oh my heart Oh my heart Cries from the sorrow I am puzzled as the oyster I am troubled as the tide Should I stand amid your breakers? Should I lie with death, my bride? And you sing Sail to me Sail to me Oh my heart Oh my heart Is waiting to hold you

There’s a glass Sitting on top of The earth tonight I could try to Unsee it In the widened angles Of my eye I could try to Leave it In the morning its Yellow’s dripping Calls me down to the Pulp of its Breathing And in the morning its Yellow’s dripping Calls me down to the Pulp of its Breathing Though was sulking, soured on its First taste Placed there at least Ten days And it’s branching towards The surface Opening up its face Porous In the morning its Yellow’s dripping Calls me down to the Pulp of its Breathing And in the morning its Yellow’s dripping Calls me down to the Pulp of its Breathing It calls me down It calls me down It calls me down It calls me down

Sight for sore eyes  I got no time for second thoughts Or new signs  Just count the loss or compromise  And who said it's gonna be different The younger ones are catching up as if it wasn't hard enough  I'm going skinny dipping  I'm going skinny dipping  Skinny Safe words, Blue skies I got no time for sudden loss or surprise  Just take it back and rewind  And you said that if I didn't change the jealousy would eat me up  You poured the wine  I held the cup Just hold your breath and sedate me  Sedate me I'm underwater but I'm still breathing  I'm still breathing
54.
Even if I'm amiss I don't wanna miss anything I kiss I just wanna live Wiggling my toes in between the shows I just wanna live I just wanna live I would rather die than watch my life go by I would rather cringe Then fall asleep again If you believe in something big If you believe in something big In a dream Can you resist? Cano you? If your heart is big and open wide it will make a mess It'll touch the sky Even if I'm amiss I don't wanna miss anything I kiss I just wanna live Wiggling my toes in between the show I just wanna live I just wanna live Wanna live Even if I'm amiss I don't wanna miss anything I kiss
55.
You got lost in making sense of Burning bridges picket fences Didn't mean to pay your rent late all of those times Try not to be sentimental Sometimes you just see the devil Jenny told me wanting different things is fine Haha So we try to begin again no Release of adrenaline but When my heart wants to let you in My chest holds it back instead And I thought this was hopping fences Every year's just bigger messes And I don't know about anything except the truth is gonna change Haha
56.
Get out of bed It’s half the battle Get some light Maybe I’ll be happy now It’s all the same What does it matter Get so high Right before it hits the ground But once in a while I’d rather get to know you It’s all a game What does it matter Simple lives Starving to be safe from harm I’m so ashamed Wish I knew better All those nights Barely even made a sound Begged you the first time But I know love is never enough just to make you proud Been through the worst part But I know you’ll be holding me up When I let you down But for once in my life I’d rather get to know you So whatever lies ahead I’ll be there for you Cause I can’t do this without you No I can’t do this without you

The seeds u was a sewin aint yer babies now the grub and the dirt on yer sweaty brow and The garden gets a growing when the rain trickles down Let’s pretend that money means nothin Sure i could pierce my fingers as I learn how to sew make amends, patch a hole and hem a shirt that id soon outgrow throw the socks into the fire, darn the hole from head to toe lets pretend that money means nothin I’ll Take you out to eat at the fishing hole From earth to worm to perch an exchange of humble souls, sit around a fire, with our greedy bellys full, pretend that money means nothin And I got a game for you, when you come back home With a Humid house and hearth, and a fresh baked loaf, I could pass on the greens, pay the debt of the dough let’s pretend that money means nothin So oh honey sugar sweet i’m talking to myself Can I spend a day in silence with a breath to make the rounds can I open up a window and the winds the only sound Can I pretend that money means nothin Oh Let’s pretend that money means nothin Can we Pretend that money means nothin’ Nope

Now I’m happy once again Call it love, says a friend And I’m dressed up in barbed wire In my heart, my desire In my heart, my lonesome heart In my dream, my so-called dream And in my heart, my lonesome heart In my dream, my so-called dream It’s a handshake butterfly And I’m sitting in the sky Looking through a lilac lens Call it love, says a friend In my heart, my lonesome heart And in my dreams, my so-called dreams In my heart, my lonesome heart In my dreams, my so-called dreams

Two hundred fifty year old brownstone church, and you and me Waiting for pink petals to appear And though today there’s just a mess of sticks and cigarettes They come out earlier every year We woke old Joseph, but he waved to you Half falling out his folding chair He was waiting for the manse to open up and let him in The only place that seems to care How can I tell you it’s not there No one should have to work as hard as you will No one should be a billionaire You shouldn’t have to stay the same, if you want to change your name You shouldn’t have to feel you must compare How can I tell you it’s not fair In fields of juvenescence, essence of decay It settles ‘round the old white hare And what we live through is what we choose to take, they say So long, so young, so almost there How I can I tell you it’s not fair

I’ve never been too much a confident composer of social time that was neither hers nor mine. These calluses continue to bind two chords to fingertips of mine when I could be up and outside, the open in the outside. Then came the goodbye, that leaves you tired and it leaves you low. Your friends will be the light, that keeps their fire safe from getting slow, in a winter heart less closed. And when it came down to following the gold sounds of old love in a new town, I guess I’ll stick around. And when it came time to get left behind, your friends will be the light little help going and getting by. Going and getting by. Be the light that I, that we can be the light that I, that we can be

Zero (demo) All days I dream of being next to you You are a sudden void I want to be the one you wonder about When it's midnight and it's three years down the line I can't control the way the sunlight moves I'm unoriginal It's controversial when you color in your eyes Your single sign is claiming something in disguise Focus on the things you want, focus on the things you want I know what you really want, I know what you really want Focus on the things you want, focus on the things you want I know what you really want, I know what you really want I've been practicing my overbite Looking at the moon You understand all of the word that's said about you I am speaking in tongues at the foot of the stairs I am speaking in tongues and you can't understand I am speaking in tongues And you touch with your hands Focus on the things you want, focus on the things you want I know what you really want, I know what you really want Focus on the things you want, focus on the things you want I know what you really want, I know what you really want I know what you really want I know what you really want

Maybe we should be lighting things on fire It’s not enough to simply call someone a liar When hypocrisy is no disqualifier And forgiveness leads to driving on flat tires All the wrong people love themselves See only mirrors, poison wells Left to reason out the death of an empire It’s not enough to hang your shingle out for hire Feeding flames and bearing witness to the pyre Let forgiveness wait for rebirth in the fire All the wrong people love themselves See only mirrors, poison wells A matchbook burns in short sustain But shows in turn a brief refrain: “You can’t kill me” All the wrong people love themselves See only mirrors, poison wells A matchbook burns in short sustain But shows in turn a brief refrain

I’m staying right here I’ll go where you go Always Acres and plains A steed and her feed I graze Bridle in the sky Fell down to my earth Like fragments of stars Oh no my cowgirl’s dead No one to dress my head I’m staying right here Enslaved to a grave I wait

about

Musicians for a Free Palestine is a compilation album organized by Andy Molholt, Maya Bon, and Raquel Denis to unite musicians together to advocate for a Free Palestine. We aim to take a stand against the genocide in Gaza. A purchase of this compilation album is the cost of an *eSim that will help Gazans have access to cell service in a time that is critical and dire. We believe Palestine will be free and we are committed to using our voices and platform to uplift this future.

*An eSIM is an industry-standard digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical SIM.

We are charging $36 for the compilation. This is because the price of a 10 gigabyte 30 day eSim purchased through the instructions provided at gazaesims.com is $34 USD. For full transparency, Bandcamp takes a 15% cut of digital sales. On Tuesdays, Nomad, the company responsible for selling the eSims, has a 10% discount, whereupon they cost $30.60 USD. 15% of $36 is $5.40, and 36 - 5.4 = 30.6, so charging $36 per compilation download ensures that 1 download = 1 eSim purchased.

All proceeds from this compilation, minus Bandcamp's revenue share & payment processing fees, will go directly towards purchasing eSims for Gazans. These purchases will happen every Tuesday for the foreseeable future, starting Tuesday 4/23/24.
