Every soul will know and every tongue will tell
For upon its Source must call
Every knee that ever stood must kneel
Every tree must fall
And heads that once stood proud will bow
Every one and all
See how vanity is violence
See how the nations rage in vain
See how a man will hurt his brother man
Even though they’re both the same
If a man would smash his own left hand, thinking it was right
When monkeys go insane these days, thinking death is life
Remember:
We've all felt the sunshine
We've all felt the rain
We've all felt Joy
We've all felt Pain.
Once a man
Twice a child
And everything that will ever be
is just for a while
Shem is a singer-instrumentalist-songwriter and producer whose music draws from american and world music traditions, including folk, blues, rock, jam (lots of Grateful Dead), Afrobeat (RIP Fela Kuti, RIP Ebo Taylor), jazz, reggae, Oliver Mtukudzi, Bobby McFerrin, gospel, and Hebrew spiritual traditions. His travels through West Africa, East Africa, South Africa, The Holy Land, California, and with help and inspiration from all people of the world, every one every where, now and from all time – it all helped shape a groove-driven, heartful, improvisational sound. After decades of private dedication, this album marks his first public release. He is currently working on his next project.
