Patronski has been writing this powerful song for weeks — the sound of Admiral Bob’s emotive guitar has been playing in my second mind each night when I sleep. I’m humbled to give voice to Patronski’s words and melody on this important subject. There were many tears shed while I was recording.
I only did a little editing of Admiral’s stems — some cutting and pasting (really enjoyed working with the electric in the solo sections), treating and made a fade on the end. I also played piano and synth strings and have uploaded those stems. Mixing was a challenge for me, and I’ve been futzing with levels and bounces each day for well over a week. I’m hopeful this movement will bring about real change, and that as a human family we will not fall back into complacency. We can do better, and I am trying. Black Lives Matter!!! 8:46 by Patronski There’s people cryin’ There’s people lyin’ There’s people dyin’ On our streets every day We’ve got to stand up Stand up for what is right Knock down the walls in front of us And walk straight toward the light Change can’t happen ‘til you change your mind Change can’t happen if you’re color blind System’s gotta change to heal this time We see you, hear you, we’re guilty of this crime It’s systemic A global endemic This racial pandemic Must end here today Ships with shackles down below Twenty score and one year ago For these sins we must all atone 8:46 is carved in stone Change can’t happen ‘til you change your mind Change can’t happen if you’re color blind System’s gotta change to heal this time We see you, hear you, we’re guilty of this crime Protesters marching down main street Armed with signs for humanity While the bullets fly and the tear gas flows Attitudes shift as our consciousness grows History books don’t tell the truth Of the evil we have brought to you The pain and blood that you’ve endured Is a debt too great and overdue How much longer do we turn a blind eye To the screams in the night and the battle cries Centuries of abuse gotta come to an end Time to unify, Black Lives Matter Transformation Transmutation Transfiguration For redemption I pray A crack in the wall, exposes a light This sickness ain’t black, yea it is white A window opens, the world ignites Raise a fist to all unite Change can’t happen ‘til you change your mind Change can’t happen if you’re color blind System’s gotta change to heal this time We see you, hear you, we’re guilty of this crime Protesters marching down main street Armed with signs for humanity While the bullets fly and the tear gas flows Attitudes shift as our consciousness grows Black Lives Matter Yea, Black Lives Matter Protestors marching down main street (Black Lives Matter) Armed with signs for humanity (Black Lives Matter) While the bullets fly and the tear gas flows (Black Lives Matter) Attitudes shift as our consciousness grows (Black Lives Matter) How much longer do we turn a blind eye (Black Lives Matter) Time to unify (Black Lives Matter)
