This is not the time to rush (X4) Whether you're drinking coffee or whether your drinking tea Doesn't matter if you're high or low wherever you be This is not the time to rush (X4) This isn't the time to get angry This isn't the time to fight Everybody bring it back to the one This is the time to unite This is not the time to rush (X4) Whether you're with your loved ones No matter if you're by yourself No matter if you're with your family This ones for your health This is not the time to rush (X4) You can stop for a minute You can stop for a day Give yourself a chance to take a breath and recooperate This is not the time to rush (X4)

Now there's time to talk I'm sitting Waiting by the signs, the road signs Wind is whispering and giving me opinions How can I argue with what is absolutely true and why do Why do we not listen when she talks My shoes and socks Rain puddles mud in which we walk My creaky spine I just can't sit still until it pops Love is crucial so are children When they're making observations People staring, yeah you look good as I'm standing by the station Talking about the town we live in Bellingham Washingtonians Jumping up and down for joy I'm finally somewhere I belong so Stunt my growth, If I need a boost to make me shout My coffee shines, through my teeth like grit so glad you're mine. Show me how you do the things you do Make sure that I know you want me to The sun is mine You give me the moon and I'll be fine.

Better was the time you're words were softly spoken Better was the letter you sent from Tennessee Better was the time you said we'd last for ever You'd hold me in your arms for eternity Love is blind they say when your heart's on fire And it's hard to turn off the spell of infatuation I fell for you just like Johnny Cash said like a child and the fire went wild Now I'm said but I had my fun I know it's cliche to ask for your friendship I must say you got breakin' up down to an art I say why should we waste our time together knowing each other so damn well But you stabbed me in the heart Maybe you think I ought to be a little more manly I'm happy that I'm made of fifty percent of a girl Everyone is in denial, Man and woman made a child We all got half and half so let's have some fun Better watch your back when you're walkin' around my city Better look the other way if you don't want heat 'Cos my boat is rock steady, never mind if it's got a few patches And my guns don't argue so you better just hit the streets

Behind every dark cloud, there is always the sunshine, shining for you baby, because you're mine Every time I see you, you know my temperature gets higher, If you don't believe me, why don't you come a little closer You got me going, out of my mind, A love like yours, is so very hard to find Every time I see you, you know my temperature gets higher If you don't believe me, come a little closer Behind every dark cloud, there is always the sunshine Shining for you baby, because you're mine...

Freedom is the name of the sentiment I don't care about the way of the president 'Cos em don't represent me and never will, not one voice indicative of a whole people This dance is the Chaka, yes the Chaka Chaka Like Fozzy Bear mi chant say Ah Waka Waka You can't hold a dance inna any session like the Yogoman 'cos a me a son of a gun we go BLAST BLAST through the barriers, time and space, take me with you get me out of this place of stagnancy make an eruption Move on up if you want a revolution of the spirit So easy to be negative, so passe and you won't break me positive Set us free from the paradigm sayeth if you want to create than you must be afflicted Let love breath and beautiful become the muse True I and eye of the beholder to choose What sits right to me, may not to you and we've got to live together so much respect due Freedom is the name of the sentiment I don't care about the way of the president 'cos em don't represent me and never will not one voice indicative of a whole people Well you can't stop the bum rush Aries pon fire mek wi burn it up Can't stop dancin' when me get the itch but I don't get the itch often enough these days Will the real dance music please just walk this way Party Favorites, La Push, Guinness and the Reparations No time to knock on wood We gotta jack up the flatbed, pull them up, run us around town Show them Bellingham get down Elevate me baby take me to the top floor All them said is Yogo don't hurt me no more - BLAST BLAST one for the guts one for the glory This is the fashion and way me tell a little story Break 'em off some'm inna reggae category Everybody welcome to mi musical church it is a wild rumpus a when mi kickin' up dirt Freedom is the name of the sentiment I don't care about the way of the president 'cos em don't represent me and never will not one voice indicative of a whole people Freedom is the name of the sentiment! (my daughter Meixing says at the end of the recording (age 1) - "It's a cookie, a cookie!"

about

Captured in 2003 before Seattle raised Jordan Rain started Yogoman Burning Band in 2005, this is a low fi, indie, shoegaze, cinematic, soundtrack of life in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Bellingham, WA where it was recorded. '9 Song' is an odyssey full of perfect imperfections one looks forward to hearing upon every listen. Dirty, crunchy, sample-worthy original NW beats with New Orleans, Arabic, Brazilian and Taiko flavors. This album is full of improvisation, spontaneity, polyrhythms and overall tangible yet mysterious textures because of its raw and under produced nature as a recording. Captured primitively with one pinhole condenser mic in a dated laptop screen, this is Rain's finest work that plays like a concept album, though it was not intentionally conceived as such. '9 Song' is a timeless work, worthy of a deep listen.
