Reissue day #53: Rockaway Beach


Rockaway Taco by @85lives  - text copied from the soundcloud.

Sing eternal words.
The Word.

 David's lament's are fitting in times like these.
 From Psalms 10:
1 Why, LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 In their arrogance the wicked hunt down the weak, catching them in the schemes they devise. 
3 They boast about the cravings of their hearts; they bless the greedy and revile the LORD. 
4 In their pride the wicked do not seek him; in all their thoughts there is no room for God. 5 Their ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by[b] them; they sneer at all their enemies. 
6 They say to themselves, “Nothing will ever shake us.” They swear, “No one will ever do us harm.”
- Right?
Oppression of the greedy is nothing new, and these words penned thousands of years ago echo so many of our sentiments today.

The answer is not in playing their game better than them, it's in believing in the Lord and knowing He is really in charge.

  *Read the bible for yourself*

 Recorded as "71011 - skim jets"
Alan did the foundational jazz beat, Creed did a bass lead, audible in headphones. - but the track was a mess in the morning.
Edward, thru the Holy Spirit, laid surf bass, guitar, synth and vocals in the morning of 9/11.

The lyrics; why be cliche and sing about your girl or (even more common still, "sing your life") or blasé nonsense.
I ♥ the folks @qpeeps.
The remind of the summers I wish I had. The title came from them.
The artwork is the Exxon Tiger at Hill St. Exxon on Toco Hills, as seen by Tiny World.

May God speak to you thru this jam, may your head bob and may you it rest at the top of your most listened to playlists.
