Life (Sovereign & True): A whole self empowerment and freedom declaration.
From an indomitable indie-alternative spirit, melodically driven by the crooner voice of Alan James and fusing with authenticity the soul of genuine blues and a body of noble jazz, the song Life (Sovereign & True) is presented, first cut (and single) of the new EP (the eighth) of Beev Rations, entitled Present-Day Music Wild Rooted, whose release is on August 5th.
This first track of the album bursts with serene power and runs with a firm pace, as well as colorful and lilting, throughout its almost 3 minutes of duration. In a world where the "authorities", institutions and corporations -all managed by the global mafia- systematically and undisguisedly mold the perception of the masses, to turn people into programmable automatons, stripped of the essential attributes of human beings (such as free conscience and the ability to discern), Beev Rations plants them on the table with this song, just because it is the most basic, natural and healthy thing to do. And since they are now in question on a planetary scale, it is very timely to affirm them with resolution and alacrity.
For it is not a question of asking anyone for what is and has always been ours. So, as individuals and as a collective, we assume and apply our own integrity and sovereignty as human beings, simply because it is our intimate nature, unrenounceable and non-negotiable as the very Life that we are.
Such is the essential chant that resonates and channels this song, whose suggestive and effective official video captures its content with the same energy, clarity and enthusiasm. Both the album and the single, together with its official video, will be premiered on July 28th, in full summer apotheosis.
LYRICS:
No need to explain things I do
nor to justify who I am,
cos nobody owns anybody,
our very beings are life itself.
What else can we be?
Samely, no one's causing anytime
how I feel.
I watch myself instead,
for it's just me who's feeling through
my point of view.
And that can be changed...
We are like a radio.
I'm tuning in to what I live.
No need to explain things I do
nor to justify how I sound.
If nobody seems to be hearing,
it's so cool to go underground.
It's present-day music, motherfuckers!
Cos life is sovereign and true.
Yeah, life is sovereign and true.
