02 LASER BIRDS by GriotJabu (Jabulani Leffall)

Birds wake us up in the morning no matter how much fun we're having at night. Nature reminds us where we are. Sometimes birds make sounds like they are shooting at us with lasers (pew, pew, pew). They can either ruin our good time or give us pause to reflect. With Joe Levens on guitar, "Laser Birds" is the first single from the Spoken Word and Soul Album by Jabulani titled Respect the Beard: Spoken Soul. It's taken from a poem about new love and its impermanence as well as the cycle of old love to new love. The birds and the sun and the rest of nature remind us to wake up from alluring sleep of Romantic love and rise to a higher level of love that allows us to appreciate sensuality, frailty, delight, trouble and overall wholeness in ourselves and those we love. Go ahead little birdy....fly your funk away.
