Stay Movin' 03:30
in motion in tune with my emotions just drove from ocean to ocean from Pacific to Atlantic to Pacific tryna catch the commotion and ride it on into the lights we been whirling like merlin painting murals and staying with girls seeing the sights of the world aspire to heights inspired by life and on fire to acquire what i desire that’s a beautiful life filled with unusual sights dancing with the dark on these musical nights i work hard… i searched wide and far we dipped out of the city to sit under the stars, ya spin to get dizzy, climb trees like tarzan one day we found a way outside the bars man jail was on fire the bail was too high the wait was too long so i made this new song like da, da, da-da-da, da but i’ve been practical too you’ll probably see it over time the kids a little different but the vision still shine like a… shhhh, it’s like a secret you’ve been waiting to hear it’s like the day you learned to play a joke on your fears and we stay on the move stay on the move everybody gotta stay on the move & vibe out ride to the groove one time in motion cuz the moves don’t stop skebop, d’wop baby the groove is on top of the globe keep it cooking like the top of the stove lookin out the window see what’s off’a the road chose my own story not the popular goals like money and clothes but don’t forget to operate in both worlds without some money it’s a complicated route and you got to dress it up sometimes to get the message out so hear, hear, listen up right now i got so many stories only one damn mouth shouting to the void or vibing out with the crowds said if you’re with it put your hands to the clouds to the right, to the left everybody recognize we blessed (oh yes) to the right, to the left now cmon just release that stress don’t for get that we stay on the move ya we stay on the move everybody now we stay on the move and vibe out ride to the groove one time

Verse 1 (brodie) I been across the land We Crossed our fingers Bought a van and booked it Left behind the West we knew Took off and started lookin It was beauty-full of life You know the road is often crooked, but Day after day we drove for miles and Kept it cookin’ Though Mountain passes, valleys of green Sun burning down our backs Cornfields and rolling hills Border crossing, roadkill We swam in beautiful rivers and lakes Saw lizards and snakes & Shed our own skin too Freed from invisible weights That held us back Gave thanks through the difficult days Cityscapes to woods God, this lands a mystical place And I just pray we keep it safe for our kids to be raised With beauty in tact and food to be dished on their plates We can’t wait Tap into this love so strong They can't hate The world stay changing But trust that we can take it Hungry and we're naked but Together we can make it Everybody’s got a Road And where it’s leading we don’t know until we go Oh it’s not easy to believe in something, no But what’s a dream that you don’t ever follow home? Verse 2 (Luc) Been across the land Two dudes and a van Me and Bro, that's my righthand man Won't stop til we camped in the sand Beans in a pot, hot dogs in a pan Find shade from an unknown tree Sunrise over foreign seas Standing up on the back of a Cadillac Til the day I die won't forget that Tame - fill up my brain let it better me A sweet melody, a memory Tail lights shine, only thing ahead of me Say you can't come home if you never leave If it ain't good now, it'll never be If it ain't your style just let it be If it all falls down just set it free Cuz it all falls down Eventually Gotta put in work Gotta fill them holes Gotta pave that road When the piper comes for his cash That man's gonna laugh if you hold up gold You get your time on this earth so you can plant seeds So you can feed soul Got the windows down and the system up Throwing seeds everywhere we go We can’t wait Tap into this love so strong They can't hate The world stay changing But trust that we can take it Hungry and we're naked but Together we can make it Everybody’s got a Road And where it’s leading we don’t know until we go Oh it’s not easy to believe in something, no But what’s a dream that you don’t ever follow home? And time's it's gon' be tough And test your limits and your light an all your luck But look inside and you will find that there's enough If you don't try you'll never know If you could fly home Fly home Damn, where we gonna stay tonight? Yo, I don't know lets just follow the light Alright, follow the light til it burns out.. Oh shoot Yo, look, that's the turn now! We'll be staying where we're sposed to be Everything that I need it's close to me And if we run out, we can hit the grocery Just drive til we find us some ocean breeze Like please! Searching for mountains and trees To balance this urban disease To put in perspective the things I perceive To prove that I'll bleed for things I believe And squeeze All that we can from this trip The juice of our travels Pressed to our lips Let's go, let's go Jump on the ship No time to think about what you will miss Now slip Into the ways of the road No matter the distance Wherever you go If you got we got You're always at home If you got what we got you're always at home So go, follow the road of your life If you got a vision or think that you might Think no more Go get it tonight Ya, we need you shining your light So don't wait Tap into this love so strong they can't hate The world stay changing But trust that you can take it Hungry and you're naked But together we can make it Everybody’s got a Road And where it’s leading we don’t know until we go Oh it’s not easy to believe in something, no But what’s a dream that you don’t ever follow home? And time's it's gon' be tough And test your limits and your light an all your luck But look inside and you will find that there's enough If you don't try you'll never know If you could fly home Fly home

ERA Seems like I still miss you I still ride the waves Scent of smog and acid rain I still write on page Feel like a song used to sing in Manila Sister running all in the yard with your nelas on Hope to find a way home Find a way to light souls Let my lola live on Through the songs I write down Feel her light It shine down Try to live it out everyday now Gettin’ rid of doubt everyday now Try to find the love in every way I Choose to live it out without the hate now Got that from my mother who hold stars up on her back Singing songs of freedom, hope that I would sing it back Bloom where you planted son Fight where you standing up Son you a star Let your light warm the planet now We all need Dandelion dreams, Dandelion dreams To keep us floating when it seems Like there’s no hope of finding peace -Inside you Dandelion dreams, Dandelion dreams To keep us floating when it seems Like there’s no hope of finding peace -Inside you Home’s where the heart is I find home on the page as an artist Feel rage, pain, love, joy Only getting started Thoughts like weeds Tryna cultivate a garden Home’s where the heart is I find home on the shore of an island I find home in the trees and the mountains I find home with the change in the harvest If home’s where the heart is, I find home on the stage as an artist I find home on the page through the silence I find home through the pain and the heartache If home’s where the heart is, I Find home in the park Home in the dark Find home in the sunshine Home with the art Ya, home is wherever we are THE BRODCAST Reflections in mirrors We all infected by years of media messaging Meaningless fears- False beauty fed to our eyes, shed tears Television tell us how to live Tell us how to look how to act What to buy Where’s the eye contact? Rain in the morning but the sun came out Outta time, outta mind, outta money What do we do when the bees don’t fly? Outta honey I’m a true blue man with some rhymes in my hand And when I met ‘em said Ride with the band and the lights get low Catch a vibe if we can I’ma write these flows in my phone go home Stay low laying poems on a microphone You can feel it when your mind goes slow through a cyclone spinning Eyes closed singing, are we Are we ever gonna find that peace? (Find that peace?) I’d give it to you if I got it in me (Got it in me) Just trust you’ll be winning If you gotta dope vision & your grind don’t slide (don’t slide) Gotta show the world what’s behind those eyes (behind those eyes) We all need Dandelion dreams, Dandelion dreams To keep us floating when it seems Like there’s no hope of finding peace -Inside you Dandelion dreams, Dandelion dreams To keep us floating when it seems Like there’s no hope of finding peace -Inside you

Somewhere 04:32
Picture yourself on a road through the Rockies The aspens turn yellow The clouds look divine Lines in the road mark the ways that you travel Away from your home on a journey to find Picture yourself on a path through the cosmos Lie on your back see the starts look divine Dust in your rear views and no one can hear you Sing to the void just to see what you find Find what’s inside you Sometimes you need some space to see The patterns and habits that limit your growth On a planet We’ve all got a wave to be on Neon lights, like beyond life Old wounds tryna heal right No room for some fake friends Focus on my real life Ya We travel the planet In search of what holds it together Like gravity magic and music, Amusement and weather (whether) Or not all these forces can really be measured It matters not We’re just ants on a patterned rock Just a shot in the dark But at least we’re together my friends And in the end i guess i sing for all that we could be (we could be) So won’t you join me on this frequency (frequency) Vibrations All we are is some hydration Stars fell down from high places Heart beats and my mind races Like how blessed are we? When every breath is freely inhaled? I impale my fear on a spear made of experience Remind myself to carry on the weight despite the weariness Smile when things get serious Hiking for miles, feeling delirious Picture yourself on a road through the redwoods With honey dew mountains and cantaloupe skies Lines in the road mark the ways that you travel Away from your home on a journey to find A picture: yourself on a path through the cosmos Lie on your back see the stars look divine Dust in your rear views And no one can hear you Sing to the void just to see what you find See what you find I heard of a place Somewhere not far away I heard of a place Somewhere that we can play I heard of a place Somewhere that we can be I heard of a place Somewhere that we can say How blessed are we when every breath is freely inhaled? Just impale your fear on a spear made of experience Remind yourself to carry on the weight despite the weariness Smile when things get serious Hiking for miles Feeling euphoria This is the story of Places we heard of or places we know Places we come from, places we go Places familiar, maybe the memories dim But you’ve been there before And we can go back Just open the door The garden is waiting for you to explore …And there’s always more than we need Abundance replaces the greed Feeling the love replacing the hate Notice the power that grows in the flowers The way that the moments can fade into hours If we only focus The here and the now is unbroken And all that there is is to open to it Allow in some space to realize All that you hope and you wish Is to Picture yourself on a road to the sunrise The birds start their singing The hills come alive With music to guide you Wherever you travel Back to your home If you only might try to Picture your soul On a path through the cosmos Lie on your back see the stars look divine Dust in your rearviews And no one can hear you Sing to the void Just to see what you find

Come Home 04:21
COME HOME That was who I was This is who I am now We could write about like a penpal Or maybe we should keep it on the low Either way everyone’s gonna know She said come home She said come home She said come home She said come home She said come home I just wanna see ya Maybe we can figure out If anything is here I like how you think We could have an idea I just wanna see you But i know you love your freedom Ya, baby i been on a road Tryna figure out myself Where i’m bouta go Cuz we got this one life And it’s feelin so short see I don’t wanna miss Any parts of the story Where’d you go baby Come home keep paving Your road and mine keep changing Can’t they grow the same way Where’d you go baby Come home keep paving Your road and mine keep changing Can’t they grow the same way She said go home I don’t wanna see ya Why’d you even bother ever coming round here I don’t get the way you think Cuz we had an idea I just want a reason why you made it disappear Look baby I been on a road Tryna figure out myself Carrying this load Tryna pack it up right Get a hold on my role here Hoping one day you understand Maybe we could meet again somewhere Where’d you go baby Come home keep paving Your road and mine keep changing Can’t they grow the same way Where’d you go baby Come home keep paving Your road and mine keep changing Can’t they grow the same way You can’t decide What is yours and mine You can’t decide What is real this time

I been here forever bout as far as I know Just like the stars in my soul This for the ocean I wrote Got that emotional pull C'mon just hop on the boat Somethin’ collide with your soul I'm tryna widen the scope If you can rock then let's roll I got a pocket full of pull it out and pass it around I been in love with the Sound Since we grew up in this town At times I feel I could never leave it But She told me boy look If you can dream it Then you'd better be it And I pass it on To you if you want it You want it? It might be rap It might be beautiful sonnets To you it might be flowers Might be musical vomit But it's cool I'm just spitting out my truth If I'm honest take a deep breath and dive into the sound cmon gather around as the sun goes down when the light turns gold and it’s all right with your soul we’ll be by the by just singing it’s oh oh oh k So everyday i’m learning Life is in the simplest pleasures Start shifting my focus to the infinite treasures In the moments and the measures of the music that we make together Present to the pain, give it expression and it makes it better So when I'm broke down and beat up I probably hit the secret beach spot all alone and put my feet up .Block out the stressing of this modern society Listen to the waves brush the shore and sit quietly See what comes up in my heart Restore my energy to keep myself grounded in my part of this song sing with the sweet melody that’s been playing all along and showing me the way through my days and we sung

about

Somewhere is an exploration of space and place and home.

This project was conceived of and written while driving around the country -- a rite of passage, a sort of quest, that led us from mountain tops to coastlines and everywhere in between.

It was our reconnaissance mission, our walkabout, our journey out of Seattle and into the larger world to see what we could find, what called us, what we might discover in ourselves outside of the comfort and safety of home.

Along the way we saw many places and faces in the mazes, but it was the transformation of our inner spaces that sticks.

"...if you got what we got you're always at home"

This project, as written about by Joseph Campbell in his work on The Hero's Journey, is an attempt to bring the hard won elixir from our quest, and give it away to those back at home.

We heard the call, crossed the threshold, fought our battles, seized the sword, discovered the treasure, and somehow made it back home. But our hearts are still out there... Somewhere.

"Somewhere baby a part of me, apart from me" - Bon Iver
"Somewhere over the rainbow" - Oz
"Somewhere only we know" - Keane

Maybe it's all the same place, and maybe some part of us is there all the time.

We'll see you there...
