Brett Alexander Boye - Essential (Stay Human)

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “This song under normal circumstances would be considered a nice, melodic, acoustic “middle-of-the-road“ type song about what it truly is to be human. However, within the context of this rona nonsensical shutdown, it is about as “punk rock“ and anti-establishment as it gets despite it being such a gentle acoustic finger-picking song. I, like many others, believe this is a spiritual war for humanity itself. At a workshop I recently attended, one of the attendees had to leave a day or so early and after we wished each other good luck on our future projects and whatnot, we said our goodbyes and he said to me “Stay Human“ and that really stuck with me and thus why it’s sung and stated at the end of this song. STAY HUMAN! Are you smiling or are you sad? Easy to find the answers by shedding the mask Are you at ease or are you in pain? Easy to find the answers by shedding the mask I want to see you smile and thus see you heal No more restraints Your art’s essential, creation’s your course It’s a fundamental wave of your life force Anti-human orders with no reason or resource As they take away the water from the horse I want to see you smile and thus see you heal No more restraints Your smile is essential Your art is essential Your music is essential Your beauty is essential Your love is essential The Truth is essential Gatherings are essential Reason is essential Loving embrace essential Nature is essential Stay human This is what is to be a human I want to see you smile and thus see you heal No more more restraints Stay human from 4​.​.​.​3​.​.​.​2​.​.​., released December 15, 2020“
