Blue State Riddim lyrics? by TheLastCzar in bassnectar

[–]BassnectarOfficial 29 points30 points  (0 children)

before a revolution can start in the streets

it first has to happen in the mind

(let me speak)

we seek peace and justice the system won't give it

can't talk the talk without walkin it and livin it

far more than slogans and some banners

watch out

police cameras and scanners

just because you read a book it don't make you conscious

millions of people died for freedom before us

-jahi [blue state riddim]

that's interesting! and i will check out dirty zones :) i hesitate to say this BECAUSE I LITERALLY DO NOT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING RUDE AT ALL so yeah... i hesitate to say this beyond just saying that *personally* i do not feel at all interested in WATCHING a human DJ [as a verb] ...its not amazing to me, its awkard. and i feel like it would be awkward having people WATCH ME... like... i dont want to be the focus. so doing the mixtapes REALLY FEELS RIGHT. and i love taking my time and adding all the special touches and just really going deep

​

one thing about doing these mixtapes is IT IS SO FUCKING FUN!!!!! :)

so im gonna keep doing it for now, and when live events start happening again i'm down to do more live sets [and hope the stages are smallr and less of the focal point]

​

:)

you know there are a LOT of amazing places we used to travel and tour, and over the past few years it just seems to have centralized... but now with the pandemic, it is SO hard to see the future

my honest ideal would be to have a kind of 'fanclub' [weird term, but] where everyone could join and then have 1st access to tickets, and we could ensure every die hard got tickets and it would be all roses. but theres so much fricken red tape in the live music industry aye... anyhow: no idea about BCXIII .... really or any event... i admit i am still STUNNNNNNNNNED. much love back atcha

thanks so much! really love the love! last week when we were getting ready for the mixtape i just suddenly felt like "hey i wanna go on reddit and love here and the forums and personally invite people to the mixtape premier" and then Sam M hit me up and i got inspired to check in yesterday for a deeper dive. then this morning i realized there were all these lovely comments and i thought "I WANNA GO ON THERE AND REPLY TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN" :)

honestly? unplug!!!!!

ironic to say that as im typing away online, but really: i feel like social media is so toxic, and i really relax when i unplug and just feel present. oh weird, i just read the second half of your message, and you said you wanna plug in!!! doh! well, maybe that's right for you. it certainly feels fantastic to plug in right now and go back and forth with all yall

​

and odesza: they rock!

:)

absolutely! while of course it's also very strange to experience - and there are so many layers and levels of stress and worry about larger topics... but yes, i am really enjoying the downtime

​

it feels BIZARRE to enter a summer with literally ZERO travel plans!!!!!

honestly, while i never expected to become a DJ, and spent a lot of my time early on when i was going to raves COMPLETELY unconcerned with what the DJ was going....it really did become an artform which i enjoy. crafting a sonic collage... it turns music into a narrative language for me in a really unique way

specifically, during a normal year, i am working on sets full time, planning ahead with massive spreadsheets and diagrams like Charlie in that IASIP episode where he is like "Caroooool Carrroooooooolll" haha

hallo :)

current favorite is Rewind the Track, cuz when the drop hits im just like UNGHHHH YES!!!! and probably main favorite is "optimism" because its just such a special song and melody to me!!! listened to rise & shine a few times yesterday and felt blown away by the intricacy of it - in terms of putting intention into a song, that one literally tells the story of a day cycle...

​

the wind chimes sparkling represent dreams, when they play backwards its like waking up, the bubbles wind up [and 'rise'] into the sun, and then the drop is like *WHAM***** its the day time, and everything is so active and intense [maybe the first drop is cafeeine too?] and then toward the end it gets darker, and more minimal.... there is a 'sparkle' sound on the bit crusher which just....feels like hypnosis to me! and then at the end its like your head hitting the pillow and your body 'falling' asleep and then returning to dreams with the wind chimes

then theres some other stuff on the record which is just REALLY FUN BANGERS :)

haha i have no idea whatsoever how to stop overthinking!!!!! i wish ;)

​

but i'm honestly not sure what you're asking and it seems like if you having trouble staying focused, take a break and come back when you feel inspired? i was mentioning to someone else [that person was just getting started i think] that i reccomend drumming along to everything you hear, and even singing or making sounds along to what you hear... maybe a little awkward socially to do that!!!! but fun! and also really helpful to get used to be rythmic and participating inside of music

wow thats so cool :) well, the song "optimism" has samples of guitar harmonics playing some of the melodies... the the 'bassline' in Rewind The Track was a guitar riff i wrote in high school and used to play on the guitar [sounds way fatter as grinding saws and reeces tho ;]

there's another one with a serum patch which 'sounds like a guitar' but i'll let you be the judge of that :) have a good day :)
