Boss Drum

The Shamen

Activate the rhythm, the rhythm that has always been within you

Boss drum, here we go again
Rhythm eternal from a distant time
An echo of long ago
Not yet forgotten, no
Boss drum, in control again
Rhythm eternal for tomorrow's tribe
Making that vital reconnection to the Goddess Mind

Boss Drum motivating Rhythm of Life
Cultural revival - this is survival
Natural magical patterns of percussion
Is the discussion, so listen up close
Let it connect you to the powers that be
With healing rhythmic synergy
Techno tribal and positively primal
Shamanic anarchistic archaic revival

Activate the rhythm, the rhythm that has always been within you

Boss Drum - self explanatory planatory information is the situation
With mystical rhythmic beats taking over and over and over
Moving with the Sound
Altering your consciousness, nevertheless
Will gain you Access
To a Techno Tribal Positively Primal
Shamanic Anarchistic Archaic Revival

Activate the rhythm, the rhythm that has always been within

    "Activate the rhythm, the rhythm that has always been within you"

    "Altering your consciousness"

    I've a sneaking suspicion the Shamen occasionally took recreational drugs.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
