I'M LIVING

LYRICS:

"Emperor Selassie I, Jah

I'm living, for the sick and the poor
The hungry and the shelterless, sleeping on the floor
I'm giving, all I've got and more
I know Jah will bless me and open up the doors
I'm living, for the young and the old
The blind and the deaf, and the dumb ones you know
I'm giving, Jah Jah love, to all of the
Beautiful people of the world

Governments coming with the same damn thing,
Million year, trillion years, 'aint doing one thing
Children, listen when the Rastaman sing -
No matter the destruction, gwaan praise the King
Warn them and tell them there is right over wrong
Mr President , why is it you make the bombs?
Everyday is weapons of mass destruction
Seems like they got no love for anyone

I'm living, for the sick and the poor
The hungry and the shelterless, sleeping on the floor
I'm giving, what I've got and more
'Cause I know the Most High will bless me for sure
I'm living, for the young and the old
The blind and the deaf, and the dumb ones you know
I'm giving, Jah Jah love, to all those
Beautiful people of the world

Don't you worry all my people,
Cause Rasta never leave you
Babylon try to deceive you
Africa with open arms will receive you
Although, the sufferation hard, well listen -
We're doing it for a cause
Sometime though I've no food in the yard
Journey me haffi step towards

I'm living, I'm living
I'm giving, whoa whoa oh whoa oh ay ay

Seems no one care for them
But Jah is there for them
And I'm here for them
Jah love I declare for them
Stretch a helping hand to the youth
You can only lead them with the truth
Don't you hear them crying?
Don't you see them dying?

I'm living, for the sick and the poor
The hungry and the shelterless, sleeping on the floor
I'm giving, all I've got and more
I know Jah will bless me and open up the doors
I'm living, for the young and the old
The blind and the deaf, and the dumb ones you know
I'm giving all I've got and more.
Most High will open up the doors

Hey, yeh Savona, Kalonji
It's beautiful
Taking it to the world, whoa
Jah is always there..."

 

STUDIO CHRONICLES - Jamaica: Grafton Recording Studios (Episode 5/5)

How is good music being created? That's the question, the documentary web series Studio Chronicles follows. In its 5 episodes for the moment, it paints a picture of Jamaican music production history and culture. To achieve this, the producers visited several studios in Kingston and talked to artists and producers about what makes a good production and which influence the chosen studio has on the final product.

The series offers insight into the daily work of producers, the historical development of recording technology, as well as different approaches to recording music in times of digitalisation. The producers want to draw attention to interesting hotspots in music history. Jamaica, with its rich musical heritage was the perfect choice for the pilot season considering the musical background of the producers. The two brothers Syrix and Professa (Iriepathie) met producers like Gussie Clarke, King Jammy, Don Corleone or Dean Fraser, who gave an insight into the specific qualities of the individual studios and tell stories from decades of experience as producers.

The first season has been shot in Kingston in December 2013 over a period of four weeks. The series will be accompanied by a producers album, which will be released on Irievibrations Records, and displays the soundtrack to the show. It contains the title track „The Journey“ by Konshens.

EBM - [Earth Beat Movement] - Get a sense - brand new video!

Active since 2012, the EBM uses the upbeat rhythms mixed with sounds of reggae, hip-hop and black music.
Led by MisTilla, one of the best female voices of the moment in Italy, in January will be released on their first album "Rigth Road" that combines songs in English to Italian songs, just to get to all of your message.

With "Get a Sense" they want to talk to give meaning to their actions, to wake up from the slumber of this society and to engage in what you believe. It is an invitation to become masters of their own destiny. Produced together with an Italian premium producer, Princevibe, "Get a Sense" is the right song to launch "Right Road".
