about
This is a first of a series of new music from me in 2022.
My intention of pointing out the Pink Elephants in the room during this time in humanity's evolution🌍 is to let you know, You’re not crazy.
I cranked the lyrical wording to be over-the-top, that’s me being happy to sing again after shifting to focused internal work back in 2019.
Skapunk beats, animal samples, super upbeat. Thank you for being here with me🐥✨

lyrics
"Pink Elephants" (LYRICS)
Pink elephants, yellow piranhas
Wise vessel in 3D, mellow prana
Cranked up subtleties in the propaganda
(Plug it up!) Happy camper sleep, Patagonia
Goomba, turtle fly with the paranoia
Star Beings and Light Beings, are you born yet?
’20 the place to be, Mama Gaia
2022 and on, where am I at?
Manifestation in full effect
Drunk driver slumber in full effect
But you’re ready when you’re ready, hold on a sec
(Old buddies are running!) But you’re born with it
Triggers and trauma set 0 to 6
A tool primed for the crime, Avenger to fix
Gonna be the Sign and outshine this eclipse
Navigation, I yell, enlist
Out, I reach out, I reach out
HOOK:
World I’ve known’s leaving our view
World I need is in my view
World I’ve known’s leaving our view
World I need is in my…
Mass opening of eyes, despite the fluoride
And the mix put inside aero-lines in the sky
Miniature reporters in the bees and the fly
My my my, color coordinate it and smile
Imaginary find or Angels and Guides?
Handicapped or “aware and alive”?
Repetition morphing “lies” “deception” to an “alright”
Distract time from the people asking, “what am I?”
Sugar and cheese crack the industry
Plant trees, I’m a hippie, yippee, you’re a peepee
Squid injection for the attendees, access festivals
They access attendees (Hoooo!)
Temporarily lizzie, silence in the library
Portabella, lily, and everything in between
“A da-da-Daniel san, Karate is not working”
Says Miyagi in 5D, 5D
HOOK:
World I’ve known’s leaving our view
World I need is in my view
World I’ve known’s leaving our view
World I need is in my… view!
(Guitar solo)
HOOK:
World I’ve known’s leaving our view
World I need is in my view
World I’ve known’s leaving our view
World I need is in my… view!

Pioneers of American ska-funk. This live album, especially track 1, is insanely beautiful. Vocalist Angelo Moore is a true angelic being, and has influenced ALL musicians that's seen him. SPARKA
London's amazing export, check track 2. This rapid-fire female vocal style, in a cut-time ska beat, totally blew my mind. The Grimey male vocal that follows, WOW. Their live sets are also next level. SPARKA
