lyrics

It’s hard to know what’s possible
In the subtle wave of an undertow
They look for clout, a hungering
To feed on doubt and othering
They don’t want to see us climb
They don’t want to see you rise
All strange heros step to the light
Share your love the heart is your queen
All you politicians put your egos aside
Let love arrive
They preach the norm as practical
But I prefer the magical
Their lulla-lies like cigarettes
And act as if we’d forgotten it
They don’t want us to unite
They would rather see us fight
All strange heros step to the light
Share your love community is king
All you fake auditions please move to the side
Steep the just and potently we sing
For peace, voice, cauterize the grease
Let love arrive

UNTITLED (Rise)
by SAULT

supported by 10 fans who also own “All Strange Heros”

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

TAKEN AWAY

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
