Check Out Alekesam’s Alluring “All Is Forgiven”
![Comments](https://www.thelefortreport.com/blog/wp-content/themes/the-essayist/images/comment.png)
Once again we’ve missed the mark. It took us entirely too long to unearth a take-over song entitled All Is Forgiven by Alekesam. We’ve had it on repeat for an embarrassingly long time, and so should you.
Alekesam is duo Sal Masekala (NBC’s Red Bull Signature Series host and son of musician Hugh Masekala) and musical pal Sunny Levine. Their latest collaboration is from their forthcoming second album, which is the follow up to 2012’s The Sound Of Alekesam.
Watch the video for the stupendous All Is Forgiven below. The song’s lyrics are at bottom. You can buy it HERE.
All Is Forgiven:
“sometimes i think about
things before they happen
float it around in my head for a while
all of a sudden
its grown too big to handle
changed it’s clothes
and grown a mind of its own
too loud to listen
too proud to put the paper to the pen
clean up this place
run the vacuum of my head
too many time zones
two thousand planes
tack on the distance
it only brings me back again
these books are overdue
there’s tenderness inside
the depth of the lineup
watch the characters come alive
dip into the system
feel the volume fill the space
bending horizons
fall into place
all is forgiven
times will clean us
absolute, absolution
all is forgiven
time is a genius
absolute, absolution
shift these shapes
make the landscape disappear
tech tonic plates
serving powers to your fears
sometimes I hear that voice
when words were never spoken
proceed with caution
before glass has ever broken
quantize the groove
while it’s dancing in your head
controlled emotions
find me drifting instead
till we feel better without it
go and knit some sweaters about it
two stone statues
trying hard not to laugh
maybe there’s something in the movement
or the stillness of the air
put that good stuff on ice
and keep that elephant over there
let’s shift through modern times
i hold a future pass
non existent obstacles
squarely in our path
all is forgiven
times will clean us
absolute, absolution
all is forgiven
time is a genius
absolute, absolution”
