I drew DJ Sapient, one of the few folks here at ccMixter I’ve actually met in person. We even played one show together back in 2011. I was psyched to pull him. I took his incredible samples and cut and cut and recombined and cut and pasted and voila!

This track explores various fairy tales and their allegory for sleeping consciousness. May we all experience the transition and transformation that comes from being awakened by the depth of LOVE.

Here’s the pell and backing vox. :)

Wake Up Kiss

Hidden high up in a tower from the world concealed
Midnight, the breaking hour when the truth will be revealed
The facade is ever-stronger to a naked king we kneel
Yea your nose is growing longer when will you become real?

Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why you’re wasting, waiting for this

Lying dormant in a bottle while your secrets keep
And she fooled you with an apple now the spell is long and deep
Bleeding finger on the spindle a hundred years until we meet
From the path you fell to find a wolf dressed like a sheep

Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why you languish trapped in your abyss
Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why are you just waiting for his kiss

What are you waiting for?

Poppy fields, velvet curtain, no place quite like home
So you’ve sold your voice for certain risk to gain a human soul
Through a hole you’re in her garden, queen takes you as a pawn
You were never ugly darling; all this time you’ve been a swan

Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why you languish trapped in your abyss
Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why can’t you wake up
Tell me why tell me why you’re wasting, waiting for this

Why can’t you wake up, why don’t you wake up
Why can’t you wake up, why do you wait for this baby
Why can’t you wake up, why don’t you wake up
Why can’t you wake up, why do you wait for this

There is no time to waste now darling
Sleeping through the life you’ll miss
Still in time we taste all darling
Why do you wait for this?

There is no time to waste now darling
Sleeping through the life you’ll miss
Still in time we taste all darling
Do you wait here for his kiss
