Voice Note To Kwame (Interlude)

Hi Kwame, greetings from planet Earth Japan

Just a thought that I had and I really

Hope that you understand this

Because as a human being it means so much that you understand this

And I think you will

I was in Takayama yesterday

And this city

It's an old city up in the mountains

And the architectures been preserved

But I found it interesting that there was not a single poster, advertisement

There were banners for the shops and we travelled by bus

So when we came back we were able to see and enter into Nagoya

And the moment I got closer to Nagoya

I could see all of the different buildings

And I started seeing all of these signs

And when I was looking at these posters

It was like as if I was seeing the soul of these posters

And you might think I'm crazy but

This is why I really create

And I was looking at them and

None of them, you know

Resembled each other

If anything it was just all

Look at me'

The next one

Look at me!'

Look at me!'

And everything was screaming

Look at me'

But underneath that was the voice that says

Give me what you have'

Let me take from you'

Give me your money'

Give me your time'

Give me your mind'

Take. Take. Take

That's why I create because

I want people to feel like they've been given something

Rather than taking something from you

I hope that makes sense that was really long

But I really, really had to get this out

I think you'll understand

Anyway

Here's to more great mu-sic
