I have been a big fan of yours since i heard "Save Your Soul" with Joey Stylez, I absolutely love you both. I play that song all the time. But, ya, your voice gives be goose bumps & soothes my soul. Keep doing what ur doing, please... Btw, just saw your interview on FNX just now. (2018) Wow, you are amazing ! Much love & respect !
"As one can see when the eyes are open, so one can understand when the heart is open. Your heart is not living until it has experienced pain... the pain of love breaks open the heart, even if it is as hard as a rock. God breaks the heart again and again and again until it stays open. The bringers of joy have always been the children of sorrow. People have fought in vain about the names and lives of their saviors, and have named their religions after the name of their savior, instead of uniting with each other in the truth that is taught. Love is the essence of all religion, mysticism, and philosophy, and for the one who has learned this, love fulfills the purpose of religion, ethics, and philosophy, and the lover is raised above all diversities of faiths and beliefs. Love manifests towards those whom we like as love; towards those whom we do not like as forgiveness. Everyone has his own imagination of God. It is best if everyone is left to his own imagination. Externally we are a single being, but internally we are a world. There is no difference in the destination, the only difference is in the journey. The soul of all is one soul and the truth is one truth, under whatever religion it is hidden. Love itself is the healing power and the remedy for all pain. Our virtues are made by love, and our sins are caused by the lack of it. All ignorance is the lack of love. Life is a symphony, and the action of every person in this life is the playing of his particular part in the music. The whole of life is as music and in order to study life we must study it as music. It is not only study, it is also practice which makes man perfect. If someone tells me that a certain person is miserable or wretched or distressed, my answer will be that he is out of tune. Each individual composes the music of his own life. If he injures another, he brings disharmony. When his sphere is disturbed, he is disturbed himself, and there is a discord in the melody of his life. If he can quicken the feeling of another to joy or to gratitude, by that much he adds to his own life; he becomes himself by that much more alive. Whether conscious of it or not, his thought is affected for the better by the joy or gratitude of another, and his power and vitality increase thereby, and the music of his life grows more in harmony. There are two aspects of individual harmony: the harmony between body and soul, and the harmony between individuals. All the tragedy in the world, in the individual and in the multitude, comes from lack of harmony. And harmony is the best given by producing harmony in one's own life. Music seems to be the bridge over the gulf between form and the formless. Music is the basis of the whole creation. In reality the whole of creation is music, and what we call music is simply a miniature of the original music, which is creation itself, expressed in tone and rhythm. Music touches our innermost being, and in that way produces new life, a life that gives exaltation to the whole being, raising it to that perfection in which lies the fulfillment of man's life. We grown-up people think that we appreciate music, but if we realized the sense that an infant has brought with it of appreciating sound and rhythm, we would never boast of knowing music. The infant is music itself. Music is the language of the soul; and for two people of different nations or races to unite, there is no better means than music There is nothing better than music as a means for upliftment of the soul. One day, music will take its rightful place as the true religion of Mankind. He who with sincerity seeks his real purpose in life is himself sought by that purpose. The more sincerity is developed, the greater share of truth you will have. And however much sincerity a person may have, there is always a gap to fill, for we live in the midst of falsehood, and we are always apt to be carried away by this world of falsehood. Therefore we must never think we are sincere enough, and we must always be on our guard against influences which may carry us away from that sincerity which is the bridge between ourselves and our ideal. No study, no meditation is more helpful than sincerity itself. One must always say every word with consideration, and should not say what one does not wish to happen. Those who do not understand the value of suggestion walk after their own fate with a whip in their hand, and those who understand its value and control their word and use it rightly, they are a bliss to themselves and a source of happiness to others. The world is evolving from imperfection to perfection. It needs all love and sympathy; great tenderness and watchfulness are required from each one of us." Hazrat Inayat Khan "What you do, what you say and what you think can influence other people by morphic resonance. There is no immoral filter in morphic resonance, which means that we have to be more careful about what we are thinking if we are concerned about the affect we have on others. Traditional theories of human creativity ascribe it to inspiration from a higher source working through the creative individual, who acts as a channel. The same conception underlies the notion of genius; originally the genius was not the person himself but his presiding god or spirit. Why are rituals so conservative? And why do people all over the world believe that through ritual activities they are participating in a process that takes them out of ordinary secular time and somehow brings the past into the present? The idea of morphic resonance provides a natural answer to these questions. Through morphic resonance, ritual really can bring the past into the present. The present performers of the ritual indeed connect with those in the past. The greater the similarity between the way the ritual is performed now and the way it was performed before, the stronger the resonant connection between the past and present participants We must become aware of the astonishing fact that as a species we are the victims of an instance of traumatic abuse in childhood. As human beings, we once had a symbiotic relationship with the world-girdling intelligence of the planet that was mediated through shamanic plant use. This relationship was disrupted and eventually lost by the progressive climatic drying of the Eurasian and African land masses. Our human dependence on the living processes of the earth was largely forgotten with the growth of industrial civilization. Now we are being forced to remember that Gaia is greater than we are and that the human economy is embedded within the ecology of the biosphere. So, in what sense is Gaia alive? And what difference does it make if we think of her as a living organism, as opposed to an inanimate physical system?" Rupert Sheldrake, Chaos, Creativity and Cosmic Consciousness "True to your own ancestors, therefore true to yourself." Russell Means
I got the privilege to see this man and the dancers in Farmington NM in summer of ‘03. I can’t put it into words, because my brain doesn’t understand, but everytime I hear this man sing I cry tears. It hits something in me.
@cheetomonte9524 Someone in a Facebook group said the same thing, they never got the jewelry they paid him to make. He follows me on my Instagram jewelry page, always tries to make small talk with me then yesterday asked me if I could give him gas money. The audacity, I never even met this guy or know him on a personal level.

This song hits too hard, as it’s the only one to relate word for word bout my last relationship that I still grieve; My last job as a frontline health care manager almost killed me during the first year of the pandemic. And when my ex walked away from me (repeatedly) since my job almost did that, he made me wanna die a few times. I know that my feelings are my responsibility, and it’s not really his fault or his “making me” wanna kill myself, but it was hard being triggered and invalidated about a dangerous work situation - not just before we made up and tried to move forward- but any time it was hard for him to accept my feelings or hear me out. All because he loved me very much to the point where it scared him into always running away then staying gone. And all cause when he doesn’t wanna listen fr fr, he’d shut me out. I lost our unborn by myself, amongst so many others in the middle of all this. Been so into the song since it first came out, but looking back after just realizing that I finally understand what it feels like to go through what this song’s talking about. It’s also been over a year since him and I talked last, and it sucks cause I wanted to have a future with him. he was my home in a person, after losing so much and so many this life. He reminded me of everyone I’ve ever loved most and everyone that’s ever loved me back. He always will… and as a result, I guess I’ll always be in love with him. Even if I ain’t shit to him. I’m still so mad. I hope he recovers and stays sober one day. I truly think we would’ve made it if he was sober and quit running. Maybe will make peace when he finally chooses to reconnect, I’ve only ever wanted this. This song helps me grieve in ways I truly haven’t been able to before. Helps me to believe that I’ll keep getting better. Time to go to therapy again someday lol. Til then, Thank you for your art. It really helps me, especially this song. Oh yeah, I’m not suicidal anymore and I’ve committed to sticking it out the best I can til the end. This song helps me stay healing and remember how far I’ve come. Thanks for that too. Happy Father’s Day if you celebrate.
@@SandsXStormTradingCo truly appreciate you and your music! since this same time last year I’ve improved, even though the heaviness of the world and my mind still grip me greatly! Nonetheless, my body, mind soul and heart is healed more. I buried the “in love” feelings of baby dad described after feeling distraught and alone for years. I did hard inner work to where work is healthier and I found the love of my life that fights for us. Feeling way more welcome in the home of his heart. As a result, I infuse your music in his playlist in good times and bad, as I’m on his YT account more. So to see this super kind comment after barely coming back to this account recently really warms my heart. Your music really helped to save me 🙏🏽 blessings to you and all yours forever. Not just in the light, but in the dark. 🖤
@@SandsXStormTradingCo my last comment to you disappeared so re-writing: your kind comment really cheered me up after barely returning to this account recently!!! Since writing on your song a year ago, my holistic health has improved and work situations less stressful. Even when the heaviness of the world and my mind grip me. I buried and killed the “in love” feelings I had for baby dad that was there in previous post- they’re not coming back and I wish him well. And I found home in the heart of a new man who’s become the love of my life; he fights for what we have in good times and bad! As a result I’m on his YT account way more but infuse his account with your music. Your music helped save me and you have my gratitude for this for good. Many thanks not just in the light- but in the dark 🖤
🔥🔥 This song is amazing. I seen an interview, when you spoke about this album. I don’t think it’s a dark song. Sometimes relationships don’t work. It’s painful. Yet, you caught that while feeling in this song.. Such talent!! 🔥🔥🔥
When ever I feel depressed or just a sadness I care not to explain. For one simple fact; my ancestors took that burden away. But yet I find my own tribe is misbehaving. Just as those that destroyed many indigenous peoples lives once before. I just try to stay on the correct path. But every time I listen to this special individual sing. I regain my confidence to keep praying and push forward; try to help keep my tribe together. That's all we can do now days.
It's all good! Positive always outweighs the negatives easily. Joe represents all tribes. The Apaches, always good people, good basketball and football players...and good runners!
