Everything Is Touching

aaronk4455 Like many Chicago Fusion groups Dried Spider has put out a full album experience with great variety! Spiritual jazz, neo-soul, ambient, and indie rock sensibilities ebb and flow throughout. In 35 years the DJ's pick for "Deep cuts night" will be 'Everybody Wins.' My fav is the closer 'The Cushion,' a prog leaning Latin inspired track that will definitely have the weirdos on the dance floor getting down - myself included ofc. Favorite track: The Cushion.

Cardio 04:50
The heart it is a muscle that keeps moving all the blood Moves into one ventricle and then the other as it pumps The heart it is a muscle that is influenced by love Will keep beating without much, but it much prefers the love Blood’s moving through the body in circulating motion Where you and I first met was the middle of the ocean Blood’s moving in Blood’s pushing out A pulpy spiraled flesh that’s moved by electricity Cells contracting and expanding with regularity The heart it pumps An open heart is one that lets the blood move most unhindered An open heart is one that is relaxed and responsive There is a river flowing inside you and inside me And then when we connect our rivers meet the sea Blood’s moving in Blood’s pushing out Blood’s pulsing in my ankle I hear your body breathe Today we’ll move back and forward Inside these city streets You must be a part of my makeup So many times you’ve moved my heart Tell me how much of my motion can be traced back to that spark? Blood’s moving in Blood’s pushing out

In this place nobody wears shoes Silent rooms and street level views People bristle on by I love you Dolphin of Truth I loved you straight away I think of you when I’m here And all my friends are holding so much rage These days that just seems so commonplace When you can’t see a way And me I seem to swing from side-to-side A vigilante to a lost child Who remembers a place Where everything is touching Where everything is touching Where everything is touching Light is lingering on outside As the day moves into the night and people’s eyes are wide I see ten thousand faces before I’m ready to walk out the door To be amongst the song To be out in the street until the dawn To hold a space for you and everyone To be with the confusion To be out with the drunk and the enraged To be out with the fire and the misplaced To remember a space Where everything is touching Where everything is touching Where everything is touching

How can you win if you lose your humanity? How can you have heaven if it costs others hell? And how many more lives must be spent before we agree to stop feeding the lie? Everybody wins now that everybody wins. Everybody wins now that everybody wins. Peace is finding wings now that everybody wins, cause everyone agreed now that everybody wins. Is it naive to refuse to accept that madness defines humanity? Is it naive to hold onto a dream? Or is naivety to refuse to accept that this is a nightmare? Everybody wins now that everybody wins. Everybody wins now that everybody wins. Love is deepening now that everybody wins cause, Everyone agreed now that everybody wins. Now we just glide….

Tell me Are you your name? Or is your name you? Or does your name depend on who you are talking to? I love you I love you That’s right, I do But from afar Couldn’t say that I can name all the colours of your heart Tell me what’s your name, Tell me your real name All this time I’ve known you as the wrong thing Perhaps you never knew But we’re not talking blame still I ask you please tell me your real name Never Not ever Not once Not ever Do I wanna presume To know just what You will do next Now I know It’s not up to you It’s not For you to choose But who else could Name the sum of parts Which is you? Perhaps a name It is something we Grow into? Tell me what’s your name, Tell me your real name All this time I’ve known you as the wrong thing Perhaps you never knew But we’re not talking blame still I ask you please tell me your real name Tell me what to call you now that everything has changed? Do you live behind your eyes or do you live behind your brain? Different but the same, same same but different. Tell me what to call you now that everything has changed? Do you live behind your eyes or do you live behind your brain? Different but the same, same same but different. Tell me what to call you now that you are not the same Tell me what’s your name Tell me your real name

My lady unwind with me tonight It’s your birthday after all And I won’t catch myself Asking you for anything Feels like there’s a chamber of men That want most of my heart To be a secret to the ones that I love And I love you I won’t ask for anything Oh I love you I won’t ask for anything You’re a chamber of joy and I’m a medical emergency You’re a chamber of joy and I’m a medical emergency But oh my dear, this is nice Tonight let’s light the lights And slightly unwind slightly unwind slightly unwind

I am walking I’ve been walking for three days now I’ve been walking for five days now I am far Very far from everybody Very close to everybody And I wish you Could be with me right now To see me when I’m at my axis Cause I know Cause I know Cause know how to love you right Should a stranger Meet me out here where I am walking Meeting souls would be not a problem Sometimes when Sometimes when i say I love you Kinda feels like a promise And I’m emptied Of my pride and shame By the wind and rain Like these boulders standing In these hills And I’m gonna Give you My deepest silence Cause I know Cause I know Cause know how to love you right

Trees 04:51
It’s not hard to meditate And it’s not hard to listen If you don’t move 
It isn’t hard to connect With the eternal If standing still is the only thing you do If we Never did sleep How would we Ever be reached By the subtle frequencies Of the trees? Don’t it make it hard to breathe The compliance of the trees Witnessing everything Yet benevolent all the same Question: Did you ever meet a tree That you didn’t like? And did you ever meet a tree that didn’t like you? If we Never did sleep How would we Ever be reached By the subtle frequencies Of the trees? Don’t it make it hard to breathe The compliance of the trees Witnessing everything Yet benevolent all the same

Dust Cloud 04:11
Dust in my computer Dust inside the screen Dust upon the water There’s dust in everything And the helicopters shake it As they beat across the sky You wake up in the morning Shake the dust from out your eyes The lightning moves so crazy Through the dust down to the ground But today again it’s lightning without rain And afternoon we gather Gather to break break And break apart the dust that’s gathered in our head We air out all our pains And sing each others song Dust inside our voices But so clear is the song Free the condensation That’s gathered up inside A vapor moving skywards To hang out in the heights The police want our money They stand about so loud They might take our money But noone can hold a cloud It sits above the billboards And holds the air so thick A meditating giant And we all give to it But nobody can Hold the cloud nobody can Hold the cloud And we come into the night time She lays my body down All my rage goes quiet Falls down to the ground Press our palms together Our love making’s a dew That dampens down the dust that Gathered it this room And oh so ever quiet Everyone that heard Took a piece of it And threw it skywards And the police want our money They’re out on every street They try and seem so calm But you know they feel the heat But nobody can Hold the cloud nobody can Hold the cloud Only the air Can know how Nobody can Hold the cloud

The Cushion 05:11
The cushion The cushion Get back to the cushion Get back to the cushion In the evening and the morning In the evening and the morning Get your cheeks back to the ground Oh my man go and sit down In the evening and the morning Get back to the cushion Get back to the cushion In the morning and evening In the morning and evening Daddy is back on the turps 12 years dry that sure does hurt We’re both swallowing the dirt He hits it hard in the evening Daddy is turning away He won’t hear a word that you say He could sure use the cushion But you won’t find me pushing Lightfoot Lightfoot Do you wanna give up? Do you feel like giving up? Do you wanna give up? Do you feel like giving up? You could cut him out You could shoot through Put it down to a family feud Maybe some people they might agree with you Lightfoot, but would it feel good? Lightfoot, would it ever feel good? Lightfoot, but would it feel good? Lightfoot, would it ever feel good? Get your cheeks back to the ground
