Caroline alright yes yes yes
sorry how did that feel how’d that feel
right so we want you to pay attention to
how you came in here and how that felt
after we all sang together right hold on
to that feeling and we want to talk to
you about our project no enemies okay so
for the last two years
Johnny fiver and I are in the group Flo
BOTS thank you thank you and no enemies
has been the name of our campaign it’s
been the name of the album that we just
dropped in May it’s also kind of been
our mantra for our change work in our
strategy making and all of it started
with a man named Vincent Harding so some
people here know Vincent Harding yes a
giant in the civil rights movement a
true jewel of the city he passed away
about three years ago and he was a
mentor to us and many other activists
and when he would come to our rallies
when he’d come to our actions our
trainings he only had one question of
critique and that question was where are
the songs now he wasn’t asking us to
release more mixtapes or more albums or
anything like that he was saying why
aren’t you young activists using music
as technology like we did in the civil
rights movement
now as professional musicians our point
of departure was exploring music but not
only as an aesthetic form but also as a
means of solving problems as technology
right technology that can bring a room
of strangers together what you
experienced the before and after of when
you came in here we call that a state
shift in exploring and studying this
music and as technology and looking at
how it worked in movements in the past
we realized we’re dealing with two major
traditions like that’s
of power and songs of performance I’m
gonna talk a little bit about the
difference now in song as a performance
it’s all about the performer the power
comes from the audience to the person on
stage with the mic now there’s nothing
wrong with that in fact that’s how we’ve
made our careers but also we want to
talk a little bit about songs of power
now the songs of power the
responsibility for the energy of the
room is distributed amongst the entire
room so that responsibility for that
vibe for that state shift is all
distributed and we want to show you a
little bit about what that means
so as we experience songs of power we
invite you to notice how the room
changes we invite you to notice how it
feels and please we invite you to
participate you guys cool with that are
you cool with that
all right in my mind I’ll hold the
passion and ASEA for the poison my
bruised and battered body washes up on
the shore sin pleased from leaking
wounds like rats from sinking ships as I
float off to forever with these words
upon my lips no I never asked for
nothing and that’s just what I got as my
pride dies before I do as I fall I’m
also cold
I wasted many days chasing brightly
gleaming streams as I fold into your
presence do I now know what it means in
my mind I hold the passion panacea for
the boys and my bruised and bad body
washes up upon the shore sin flees from
leaking bones like rats on sinking ships
as I float off to forever with these
words upon my lips no one never asks for
nothing and that’s just what I got as my
pride dies before I do where I fall I’m
oh so calm I wasted minute days chasing
brightly gleaming streams as I fold into
your presence do I now know what it
means
[Music]
Cowboys in the spaceship the crowd
