Good Vibes - Sekou Andrews/The String Theory
Lyrics by:Sekou Andrews
Composed by:Pc Nackt/Ben Lauber/Patricia Peters/Addie Hamilton
If we were to peel away our layers
Of flesh and bone
If we could lift up our blood cells
Cast off our chemistry
And burrow beneath our neurons
What we would find us all to be
At our core
Is vibration
Percussive particles that vibrate themselves into
Everything that matters
Is matter
Colliding into molecules
That ricochet out of atoms
And for every vibration
There a voice
An instrument that transposes
Oscillation into communication
For every voice
There is a story
A 3-part concerto through which
We compose ourselves
And for every story
There is a score
A soundtrack that narrates our journey
With music as evidence
That our vibrations got soul
You hear that
Our stories have heart
You hear that
Our chaos has rhythm
Organized into rhythm sections
That score our heartbeats
And footsteps and acts of God
Timpani's erupt us into avalanches
Djembes precipitate our rain dances
Woodwinds and Brass breathe life into romances
And re-re-remix the classical story
Of love like two instruments
From dissonant families
Who combine their half notes into wholes
Where noise meets world like
Brass meets strings like
A harp that falls for a clavichord
And takes his last name like
Young harpsichords in love
Whose Frenchhorn kisses make music
Lips pressed to mouthpiece
Got my valve open son like
Heart strings plucking at
Tethered emotions like
She loves me not
Nah she loves me
She loves me not
Nah nah she loves me
I feel the pound of her heart's kick drum
When she hugs me
I hear the sound of her hair's shakeras
