Liner Notes

Metta Meditation:

May all beings everywhere be free from suffering May all beings everywhere be free from hunger May all beings everywhere be free from fear May all beings everywhere be free

and ten million variations after that.

I like this mantra a lot, and also I'm a big fan of letting anything spiritual be a catalyst for one's commitment to social justice and the general benefit of humanity and the world at large.

LET'S GO!

Lyrics

All Beings Everywhere

{A Blues w/Roma Simpsons Riff (RSR)}

Hey I’m glad you made it The world is better off With you still walkin’ on it Another day’s enough

I know it’s lookin’ rough out there, and everything is bleak You still got legs, you still got a voice, so take a stand and speak!

May all beings, everywhere be free from suffering, hunger, and fear And may all beings get just what they need

RSR

All basic necessities and all the basic rights No secret police, no endless wars, ABOLISH ICE

Community, validity, and mutual aid and No more workin’ just to get the folks above you paid

May all beings, everywhere be free from suffering, hunger, and fear And may all beings get just what they need

RSR x2

No more confirmation bias, get real information No spiritual bypass, this is your fight and your nation

Take care of each other, ask for nothin’ in return Feed the people, give back the land, don’t let the world just burn!

May all beings, everywhere be free from suffering, hunger, and fear And may all beings get just what they need

RSR x4

Yes, this includes my enemies and all the folks I hate I wanna see you ALL get fed, and I won’t hesitate!

But MAN, could you please help me out and try to see the light?! If we stop pretending we’re separated we all could be alright!

||: May all beings, everywhere be free from suffering, hunger, and fear And may all beings get just what they need :|| RSR Loop

We need this! And I needed to learn what RSR means. :)

I'm hoping the guitar got to take a nap after tracking this - it put in THE WORK.

An energetic and joyful shout of a song that still packs a punch aimed at the BS. Love it!

@laurenoxford 1d

just reading the lyrics could not have prepared me for what the guitars and melody would sound like, and it was such a delightful surprise. the biggest fuck yeah to this entire message ❤️🖤

@jeremykazoo 1d

Let's all keep writing songs with messages like this!

Delightfully manic guitar work. A+, no notes.

@charliecheney 1d

So fun! And yet filled with a touch of sadness. I love this so much. Feels like it could be instantly led as a sing-along too, my favorite kind of song. ❤️

@serene 2d

Amen to that!! Such a powerful chorus.. sooo good!! Your guitar playing is epic too, how do you play so fast?! Love how this is so upbeat despite the seriousness of the topic. Really needed this !

@git_funky 2d

I’m all about this intersection of spirituality and solidarity! we strive to make the world better as a part of our own realization, & you can’t have one without the other. Also, your guitar playing is so energizing, I dig it! 😁

@ggallagher 2d

Hi friend! Good to hear your stuff again! I love the energy and how the tempo makes the mantra more active. Favorite section- Yes, this includes my enemies and all the folks I hate I wanna see you ALL get fed, and I won’t hesitate!

But MAN, could you please help me out and try to see the light?! If we stop pretending we’re separated we all could be alright!

@hyperthistle 2d

Beautiful! May all beings ❤️

One thing I love about the way you write lyrics is how direct and conversational they are, while still being totally poetic. Great message in the song, great jam.

Thanks for sharing the message!
