down in the new studio, the deep fix cut a new tune, ohh it's very good, it's got everything a good song needs, a hook, a nice piano bit, some groovy bits and some mystical messages, plenty of nice harmonies and surprise backing singer extrodinare. yeah the deep fix are a mysterious outfit, val and i work from the same dna musically, he's got all the chops and talent and i have the writing and vision and dodgy vocals, we make good music, diverse tunes with interesting bits and pieces, it's a thrill to be able to make music like this, i love the process and i'm getting good at it incrementally.
the new song is called 'mantra' and although i had a chorus for it i was very unsatisfied with its sound and content so in the tradition of spontaneity and intuition i used a sanskrit chant.

Rama: Om Sri Rama Jaya Rama, Jaya, Jaya Rama

Rough Translation: 'Om and Victory to Rama (the self within), victory, victory to Rama.'

Rama was an Avatar who came several thousand years ago. His sole purpose was to show how a person should live a Divine Life while living in a human body. Mahatma Gandhi practiced this mantra for over 60 years. This mantra will 'take one across' the ocean of rebirth. In a more immediate way, it is most powerful in reducing negative karmic effects no matter in which life they might have occurred. I have also had a powerful spiritual healing experience (for another person), while using this mantra intensely.
