About this track
It’s impossible for me to pick a favorite song out of the 400+ I wrote, because it depends, as always… But(t) if you were to ask me, I’d say "Poetry" is one of my most precious—because it’s a GLOWsutra song for a world gone bananas, and (I believe) humble #gratitude and the might of #awe are what peace and happiness are made of, literally 💌 “Poetry (Sets Us Free)” EPx14 flows ❯ Folky Banjo BLUES (1-3) ❯ Cello Accordion/Piano INDIE (4-6) ❯ Circus Waltz BURLESQUE (7-9) ❯ Psychedelick LOFI (10-14) — @bananasutra #songlyrics [Verse 1] Question me, if you feel the need But poetry, yeah, it’s food, a seed It’s that voice inside, not in your feed Only found in soul, where the hopefool ones bleed Truth tellin’, when the world’s is all whacky Deep breathin’, until gratitude fills me In times where viral things feels so empty Poetry slow burns, soft, kindly [Verse 2] No trend, no brand, just spirit alive A low voice echo in a new wise tribe Not for show, nah, not for fame Just to name the ache and sing the flame [Chorus] Poetry, love, is a necessity Like roots in ground, like rice and tea It humbles me, makes me see In a world so loud, it sets me free [Verse 3] All due respect to your creeds and towers Your hierarchies, gods, and ivory powers But this here, this voice, this vulnerability Is the only thing that truly feels holy [Verse 4] See… poetry don’t wear no disguise It sits in awe, it look in eyes It grows where safety’s nowhere near It speaks the honest things we fear [Chorus] Poetry, love, is a necessity Like rhythm and air, like memory It brings us close, makes us believe In a language deeper than what we see [Bridge] It fights with light, against division It cracks the lies, the faux precision It sings in silence, burns oblivion It’s love, it’s grace, it’s intuition [Verse 5] No revenge, no pride to defend Just bridges built that never end Across the lines they say divide It finds the stars in every stride [Chorus] Poetry, love, is a necessity Not some art form, it’s therapy It’s touch, it’s taste, it’s trinity It’s what they miss in their liturgy [Outro] You feel it when it hits you, raw No filter, no pose, no law It flies us back to where we came No ego, just soul, fire, a flame Love is god, and music’s the voice And poetry, my friend, that’s my choice Slow and dreamy, steady we FLOW, With the rhythm that makes us GLOW. — Sister songs on SoundCloud: Poetry Slow Burns ☲ EPx5 DUBsutra : https://soundcloud.com/bananasutra/sets/poetry-slow-burns-epx5-vol01-dubsutra Poetry Matters ☲ EPx3 DUBsutra : https://soundcloud.com/bananasutra/sets/poetry-matters-epx3-vol05-dubsutra Poetry Nah Lie ☲ EPx6 DUBsutra : https://soundcloud.com/bananasutra/sets/poetry-nah-lie-epx6-vol01-dubsutra Poetry (Nah Lie) • GROWsutra Ragga Mantra DUB Single : https://soundcloud.com/bananasutra/poetry-nah-lie-o-growsutra Poetry Matters ☲ Banjo EPx5 BANJOsutra : https://soundcloud.com/bananasutra/sets/poetry-matters-banjosutra-ep — Learn more on https://bananasutra.com 🍌💨
