LYRICS

If I did all the things that you tell me
And you did all things that I tell you
There's nothing that we couldn't do

If I listened to you
And you listened to me
Imagine how happy we'd be

Cause you tell me truths
I don't like to hear
Truth is painful
You know you can lie sometimes

Then I'd listen more
To the wise words you've said like
Like, like... errrr

If I did all the things that you tell me
And you did all things that I tell you
There's nothing that we couldn't do

If I listened to you
And you listened to me
Imagine how happy we'd be

We'd be healthier, happier, fitter and wiser
Richer and thinner and younger and more organised
The world would be a better place
Without war

It's a simple thing but hard to do
With ego involved it's  a blinkered view
But if you saw yourself from outside, you'd say
"Why didn't you tell me!?"

The world's a crazy mixed-up place
Because of the stupid human race
Our thoughts pollute the very
Air we breathe

If we're going to be the ones to make the change
It's our thoughts we need to contain
And switch our brains from broadcast
To receive

And if I lived for you
And you lived for me
Imagine how happy we'd be

If I did all the things that you tell me
And you did all things that I tell you
There's nothing that we couldn't do

If I listened to you
And you listened to me
Imagine how happy we'd be

If you listened to me
I listened to you
We listened ro each other
Listening to you

Did you hear what I've been saying?
Has any of this registered?
You're looking at your telephone
I don't know what to say
I've done all I can

LYRICS:

In the water

I am reborn

With EZ water

No structures torn

With the water

And with the sun

This EZ water

Keeps me young

My mitochondria

Rebuilding cells

My power swells

Without the water

My life is starved

But with EZ water

I am recharged

With the water

And with the sun

This EZ water

Keeps me young

My mitochondria

Rebuilding cells

My power swells

Running free these radicals

They're speeding up the change

All are idiopathical

I'm closer to my age

But in the water

I am reborn

This EZ water

Builds back what's worn

And with the water

And with the sun

This EZ water

Keeps me young

In this episode of Podsongs, Ryan Walsh of the critically acclaimed Boston-band 'Hallelujah The Hills', interviews ground-breaking researcher Rick Doblin, founder of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). The interview that the song inspires is song called 'Get Free'.   

Stream the song: https://ffm.to/getfree 

Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master’s thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients.  https://maps.org/ 

Hallelujah The Hills have been releasing critically acclaimed albums and touring the U.S. since 2007. Described by Spin as “criminally underappreciated” and lauded by Pitchfork for their “fist pumping anthems,” they’ve been declared “Boston legends” in their hometown and as having a “cult following” by Stereogum. The band released their first two albums on Misra Records, assisted Titus Andronicus in recording their breakout album The Monitor, and are one of the only bands to have ever toured with The Silver Jews. Their sound was creatively explained as “the kind of punk rock you’d expect on stage at the roadhouse from ‘Twin Peaks’” in The Boston Herald. Others go further, with Aquarium Drunkard noting “few do it with the style and imagination of Hallelujah the Hills” and Captain’s Dead boldly publishing that they “without a doubt they are one of the greatest bands currently making music.” https://www.hallelujahthehills.com/ 

LYRICS: We’ve been backstabbed betrayed, butchered and splayed On the altar of “the way it’s always been done.” It’s American, man, watch the funerals span The bulk of the calendar year  And you can shake your head say it’s not right Spend all your nights in electronic fights But you know in the end, there’s no way to defend The way we do nothing at all  When waking up is a trauma and hellos turns to drama You disassociate from every nuclear thought Total lack of conviction with a bullshit addiction It’s enough to forget all we’ve got  And all we’ve got could someday be enough A spiritual world where we lean into love Well hey I get it man, you’re not sure of the plan As you harangue me holding a beer  What if the best in us was on the cusp Of true manifestation? Could we take the leap into the deep And find that the softest landing?  And besides   What have we got to lose? If we could stay like this or get better, What would you choose?  I just want my friends to get free I just want my love to get free I just want the pained to get free I just want you to get free I just wanna get free   Come on let’s all get free
