Welcome to the
Mission

My music has got to get what it rightfully deserve
Shaggy

[Chorus]
My music got me on a mission
I'm following my intuition
Why don't you check the composition
With this ya music when it hit you
Say you feel no pain
My music got me on a mission
I'm following my intuition
Why don't you check the composition
With this ya music when it hits you

My music is my mission
I'm here to take it around the world
To get the global recognition that we fully deserve
To every man, every woman, little boys, little girls
Embrace the sweet reggae culture
There's a lot more to learn
You could a be from the east
Could a be from the west
Could a be from the north
So could a be from the south
No matter where down in a the world
Shaggy will be at your doorstep
Pan you cassette down in a you deck
No bother think about eject
Better yet
How about you get it live and direct
Say mic check (mic check)
No sabotage mi sound check
You better let a lyrical genius
Come try intercept
Shaggy a say one more time

[Chorus]

Vibes it a lick the reggae music them want
Everywhere down in a the world
The people jump and prance
Some of them no speak the language
But the lyrics them chant
Excess amount of music weh the DJ perform
Say what
Straight up in a de place a where the people congregate
Say what
Pon the dance floor a where them love fi feel the bass
Say what
No matter the nationality, the color, the face, the race
We all we want to see in a de place
Is nothing but a smiling face
Yeah
Shaggy I'm here to grace your stage (huh)
I'm here to suit your musical taste
Yeah

A lick it one more time

[Chorus]

All around the world you hear the music a lick

In a de Middle East you hear the music a lick
Say what

Say what
West Africa a wey the music a lick

[Chorus]

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
