Haloes 05:08
Haloes Words and Music by SHAKE YOUR PEACE! Nora brings us lavender and homemade breads. The bread is still warm, and it steams on my porch! Even the roses stick out their noses in jealousy, Watching a love that is lighter than heat Still rising in the summer. Her smile works at the local nursery and I Know her mouth knows blossoms and leaves, She slaps wildflowers high fives when she’s in Utah’s mountains And kisses them and eats them, and giggles on their petals With her woman breath and freckles Lightly dancing on their rustic grace and hardy swaying green. She’ll thank the fields And harvest some, and a few blessed plants may find Their way to a leafy halo that’s growing Around her peaceful head. ----------------------- Every feather we find we put in our hair for the magic, But ravens are mine and Nora’s are wrens. We moved to the city so sometimes the pigeons will hear From a passing swallow who we are And throw us a feather.

To Protest the War Words and Music by SHAKE YOUR PEACE! (played on a “C” harmonica) Bb C C F Woke up today to protest the war grabbed my harmonica and ran out the door Feathers in my hair to protest the war and I’m shaking my peace til my peace gets sore! Walking down the street to protest the war Walking like America’s my freedom dance floor Kiss my lovey…to protest the war! Then I rolled down the grass hill by the grocery store (why not?) CHORUS 1&2 We were screaming: “Who’s streets? Our streets!” I saw an old Jewish grandma getting beat And then the cops, they jerked me off my feet Thought I came out today to protest the war, but… 1- I’m just gasping/ 2- now I’m fighting for my freedom of speech I didn’t come to fight with the NYPD Riot cuffs are on my wrists, they’re making it a show They’re spraying mace into the crowd as they scream “Let him go!” Though their badges have eagles they throw my feathers in the gutter I say “I can’t feel my fingers” so they make the cuffs tighter Then they take us all to jail and ask good terrorist hunting questions Like: “Tell me who you voted for in the last election.” And “Which one of these 500,000 people told you about this secret insurrection?” And “Don’t you love America and respect The Constitution and its sections?!?!” CHORUS 2 So now I gotta new way to protest the war So the NYPD redcoats don’t put me behind bars…again “Who’s troops? Their troops!” No I’ll tell you whose they are Every activist and lefty who still drives a stinking car So now I’m going to the beach to protest the war Where redcoats’ tea was once thrown in the harbor We don’t need their hammers to build a new floor We’re doing it ourselves: We’re making salt on the shore!

ON THE HUDSON Note: "The repeating fiddle melody is a Whup hack of Hassan Hakmoun’s “Saade” (which he recorded and sung on Kronos Quartet’s “Pieces of Africa”). The tune was introduced to Gabe in hacked form by electronic composer/ cellist Cosmo D in the middle of a rooftop party they were playing together on New York’s Lower East Side in 2003(2?4?), and Gabe started improvising lyrics over the groove about the houseboat he was living on with his then-girlfriend. Gabe continued hacking Cosmo D’s version, and it soon became what you’re hearing here." Chords, melody, and lyrics by SHAKE YOUR PEACE! 
 (Chord progression = em G D A …repeat x 100) (Chord progression = em G D A …repeat x 100) Gonna live the simple life baby Gonna live the simple life mama We can see the fishboat lights Sleep out underneath the night Gonna live the simple life baby Gonna love you all my life baby Gonna love you all my life mama River storms and river tides Still held between two riversides Gonna love you all my life baby Sail me up the Hudson River [background: saaa aaaa aaail] Sail me up the Hudson mama From the Half Moon deck I see Houses in the golden green Sail me up the Hudson River! Singing on the Hudson River Singing on the Hudson mama Sing of avocado trees and ships And unborn children in your hips Singing on the Hudson River! There’s a five-piece gospel band Inside the heart of every man! Gonna live the simple life baby!
