SAME SEEDS (LYRICS by Adam L. As Himself) Uprooted Plucked Scooped from out the mud, humus What’s muted could become tulips (two lips) From mums of the unfluted columns of aqueduct ruins When I erupt a river runs through it Blood and mucus plug fluid do the chug-a-lug To the conducted cues of a subhuman Kubrick’s Dunn Dunn DUNN Music I’m trying to throw seeds and bring the sun to it Trying to grow leaves and see the buds shooting Son of a gun, chrysanthemum wounded Trying to see if I can troll Z’s until they undo it But useless, trying to find the line between What’s new and what’s Nutrist and cut through In order to develop something voluptuous But coming up plumb fruitless I blame greed That’s how desire became need I jumped out the pot when the flower became weed But to argue with them is Darwinism Watch cuz each organism’s the same seed Your inner Dame’s a king on a ship - the same speed As when Lillard done sank three and Cinqué became freed While cinco sank searching for a ship - I blame greed

GRAVITROPISM (Lyrics by Adam L. As Himself) When they go low we go high When they elevate themselves we go deep, ego die When he go tweet we go fly When he foul (fowl) in the post that’s when we go free throw line Yin and yang, chai is tea as chi is tai If you go half as deep as me to speak your mind (mine) Then I expect to see some diamonds or at least some iron ore To sky an oar made of iron and find Poseidon’s floor That might inspire me toward swiping Orion’s sword See, the horizon’s for dividing what we’re mindful toward Gravitropism - you entered a race With too many mistakes and overcame them through simian traits You can’t go higher through any arrangement other than deeper Lest you spit in the face of Euclidean space Who is he who makes a ripple? So is he who makes a wave So for every new Macbeth there too is a new Vivian Banks Eventually even you will embrace Change is just a rubric to appraise And lose interest in ways that move men to attain New stimulant strains Ubiquitous rays of light too hidden to chase Too big to mistake and too thin to retrace And too many to waste New stems are the same as roots into the grave A mountain moves inches, the change proves infinite

about

Jonathan Scales Fourchestra’s 8th album, RE-POTTED, does much more than pick up where 2018’s PILLAR left off. The prolific composer/steel pannist Jonathan Scales began production shortly after relocating to NYC from North Carolina, just months before the pandemic, and this conceptual album explores what it means to ‘uproot & replant’ into a more expansive yet more challenging environment.
