Name: Electric Hill
Duration: P00H02M30S
Description: Earth is about hills and valleys, lives and deaths. And without hope, we have nothing…The album changes gear as we begin to see hope and rebirth amidst the suffering, fear and anger of the first half of the album…This is a song of the steelpan, a singular creation of the diasporic imagination, ringing out from the Hills of Laventille to connect with the hills of Salvador, Caracas, and beyond.

about

Earth is about hills and valleys, lives and deaths. And without hope, we have nothing…The album changes gear as we begin to see hope and rebirth amidst the suffering, fear and anger of the first half of the album…This is a song of the steelpan, a singular creation of the diasporic imagination, ringing out from the Hills of Laventille to connect with the hills of Salvador, Caracas, and beyond.

lyrics

And when at last a thought does fly
I, Poet, fire…missing words
And whisper gestures to the sky,
Risking life among the birds;
And when these birds of heaven die
And hills of sugar wash away
I, Pan come to sweetly cry
Burying now my fallen prey.

I Poet, the haunted hunter hunt
The cynic’s soul, the lover’s mind,
Unleashing dogged faith in front,
And aiming upwards ride behind
And when at last I leave the chase,
Hands in cold valleys, swinging low
I scoop hope from the river’s face
Ahead, another hill to go…
