Connections

Once there was no reason we just got together making sound 
Singing and dancing and Vibing sweet across the planet all around
Making music shaking through it
Striking a groove and melody
Passing the going and rising and coming and falling add infinity

That’s the way to walk this walk 
Be awake to the weird
Give and take in the time you have 
Shake things up my dear one
Shake things up my dear one 
Step to your partners dear one
Hold me close my dear one
Swing around and stay near
Cos that’s the drill!!

īsha guruguha haravidhi vinutam dēhatraya vilakṣaṇamānanda lakṣaṇam

Medidating on the deity 
Weaving phrases Singing praises 
Dikshitar heard the ditty
House of Donald’s piping phrases
Little little flute and fiddle 
Words and melody and rhythm
Building bridges sacral edges 
Nottus and swaras to amaze us

Walkin' on this walk 
And awake to the weird
Givin' and takin' the time you have 
Shakin' things up my dear one
Shakin' things up my dear one 
Steppin' to your partners dear one
Holdin' me close my dear one
Swingin' around and stayin' near
Cos that’s the drill!!

There’s connections running in the deep deep flows of memory
Projections making me commit to them momentarily 
Connections running in the deep deep flows of memory
Projections making me commit to them momentarily 

Swarams in motion 
I’m rushing and gushing surreal so
gsrsdns
Tripling rippling outwards 
Cross the pond singing
gsrsdns
Nothing can stop this
Gravity levity Melody 
gsrsdns

Sunshine

Dancing is a good start
Sunshine breaking through
I've danced through the rain 
Now I want to dance with you
Sunshine's here - I'm on the roof
Do you wanna groove?

Dancin's warmin' my heart like
Sunshine breaking through
I've danced through the shame
Now I want to dance with you
Sunshine's here - I wanna move
Do you wanna groove?

(Aah-aah-aah-aaah-aah-aah-aah)

Elemental I'm feeling
We are not so different
Drinking from the rivers, lakes and claypans
It's the same dance
We've waited for a long time
For this great reconnection
Across the oceans and the sands

Here we are...
Here we are, it feels like ages since we jammed!
When this gloom is behind us 
And there's more room for kindness in the world
I don't mind if I just to move
Do you wanna groove?

When we were last together
We were dancing in the square
Breaking the rules in our own way
Now we have crossed the threshold
We can jammit anywhere
Set the balance right here beyond the square

Here we are...
Here we are it feels like ages since we danced!
Danced!
When it feels right, just take flight
In the bright night or daylight
Like a pair of kites, we just might like to
Dance and move, sunshines on the roof,
Do you wanna groove?!

Ilankai

இலங்கை என்பது நம் தாய் திருநாடு
எழில் மிகுந்த இயற்கை வளம் நிறைந்த நந்நாடு
மாணிக்க முத்துகளும் மாண்புறு காட்சிகளும்
மனதைக் கவர்ந்திடும் நாடு

மீன்பாடும் தேன்நாடு கிழக்கில உண்டு
வீரநகர் வன்னியில் வேளாண்மை உண்டு
மடுமலை நாயகியே மன்னாரில் பவனி வரும்
மங்காத காட்சியும் உண்டு

Ilangai enbathu nam thāy thiru nāḍu
ezhil mihunthu iyaṭkai vaḷam niraintha nannāḍu

mīn pāḍum thēn nāḍu kizhakkila uṇḍu
