Nanana…. can't catch me You're fast, but I'm smooth Time pass, but does it move I'm the man in the middle of the field you cannot see It will take more than just your hands to get a grasp of me I'm on the run, on the run, on the run, on the run I caught that train, caught that train, caught that train, caught that train I'm in another land, another land, another land, another land I'm a whole new man, I'm a whole new man You're right, but I'm left Have you heard the singing bowl at the top your breath Just when you thought that you'd figure out, some secret thing that the riddles about Like your lap, when you stand, your voice as you speak out Nanana… can't catch me Your shore, but I'm sea Every grain of you, is just a wave of me Have no fear, you are not alone Just watch the drawing of the ancient stone pendulum I'm on the run, on the run, on the run, on the run I caught that train, caught that train, caught that train, caught that train I'm in another land, another land, another land, another land I'm a whole new man, I'm a whole new man Nanana….can't catch me Who, what, when, where, why, how You can't catch me You can't catch me ====================================================

Money comes, and money goes But the seeker already knows The feel of gold, is oh so cold Without a soul, already whole The man in back, a whispering one A crazy man, only to some From break of day, til the day is done A murmured wisdom, of the sun He told me with a riddled thought That summer's here, and here's a shot A shot at what, my question came I have no gun, I have no aim ____ His voice was worn, but never cracked He placed a hand upon my back The truth of this has no attack While looking pointing forward, looking back The cannibals of melody And wicked thieves of poetry Do not fear their vicious bite Their desperate ways are not your fight ____ The path is long, too long to run We made it here with what we've brung A foolish thought to think we're done We just woke up, we've just begun He told me, now, I'm telling you You tell it on, you see it thru The rolling mountain river's blue Where's the ocean, where are you? ===============================

about

Vanishing Point is a musical treasure ready to be unearthed. The album is a series of evocative late-night reflections guided by hypnotic vocals that emerge from a landscape of thick atmospheres, hypnotic beats, and minimal organ.

Drawing from a wide range of influences - such as the modal jazz of Coltrane and Miles, the classical Indian music of Nikhil Banerjee and Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, the trip-hop of Portishead and the minimalism of James Blake - Run Child Run commands a rich palette of sounds that take on an almost mystic quality; simultaneously ancient and distinctly new.

In RCR's own words: “The music is primarily a process, a practice of self-discovery more concerned with approach than with outcome. It is a meditation, in which melodies and rhythms are explored through repetition until they find their simple resting place.”

The opening track ‘Darbari’ gradually builds through chimes and reverberating strings, evoking the rich tradition of the ghazal, as it transitions into the steady drone and ethereal vocalizations of ‘Hungry’. Nodding to the spiritual works of Alice Coltrane, Run Child Run pushes influence forward with his merging of warm vocal harmonies with undulating 808 beats. The danceable electronics come to the fore in the propulsive ‘Can’t Catch Me’, before switching to the plaintive, unadorned lyricism of ‘Whispering One’.

Closing on the eerie rhythms and washed-out synths of ‘Stay There’ and ‘Untitled’, Vanishing Point proves to be a deeply layered and complex record, one in which its single-mindedness creates a beautiful space of open reflection for the listener.

Music is healing,
for music helps us listen to that which is deep within and needs to be heard.

The role of the Musician is sacred
and must be protected.

I make music for spiritual seekers
and spiritual warriors, and everyone in between.

I have released two albums,
Vanishing Point & Peace Process.
I am working on my third, which will be called ANEW.

Reach out,
I love to connect.
