Speak to me in the language of love Don’t screw it up at all With weapons of hate Just wait You wait and taste the bait We don’t need any ghost To tell us most Things were lies In disguise Now repent In the language of love The only language is love

Vi åker från ingenstans till någonstans sökande efter en plats som inte finns Vi flyger på ett språk som inte finns Vi bygger ord som ingen förstår Ett ljus skiner lång borta En femte årstid byggs ihop av ljud som ekar i en glänta i en bortglömd skog Vi är vilse på rätt plats Vi är vilse här och nu

A Piece of music A gorgeous canvas Painted out of love Made out of kindness Doors locked , end of my shift Lay back, rub down my feet Can’t wait to come back home Imma need to relax, relax, relax Imma need to relax, chillax, kick back, lay down Visions of home Castles built of smoke In-between the night and day I can barely recognize your face Visions of home In this twilight zone In-between the lost and found All I want to do is wrap my arms around you

You told me that you’ll never call And I’ll never write Where we are now I see your eyes In front

Same old place Most days So, wasted Face so grey Old ways New days shit Spaced out Hatred Aim for the day Been tryna stand up Manned up don’t change shit Fucked up a couple big chances frames it Mains been getting backed up Since day ’N I really can’t change my functions Prayed cos I really couldn’t change my ways I'm shaded Really tryna hide myself from a day shift Really tryna find some help Can’t change this day So, I’m getting fucked up So, faded Lay in a mountain of white stuff Praise this Be smiling if there was a bigger number on my pay slip ’N it’s So cold The postcode No sun Snow season Hold hope But I ain’t got no reason Hopes leaving Coat can’t keep this low feeling out Yea n I've been old n teething Open season I been tryna flow with reason So, appealing Only really known the meaning of closing early Opposed to speaking I poked the spliff in a sober setting I’m always forgetting I’m home and sweating I’m smoking, betting N folding heavy In mouldy weather N keen to keep pleasing with a verse that's worthy Cursed concerning Yea n getting quite dark when the beat drops Praise this. They’ll come for us to suck our blood The only power is our mud You talk to me I talk to you The voice of speak is over proof The sky is grey when blue is fine Fine dinning places eco wine You bust the oyster come from yelp This is no record for private hell I tried to smile through bad days n sad ways the last place I was even missing how the past taste Want from cask ales to cask strength ’N talk about my sanity in past tense Time spent wasted Life went Crazy Past time Filled with a bag a cheap goodies n a hoodie over my eyes I’m fine Save it Lines get thicker n my space grows smaller i was living in the margain Drugs are a bargain

Growing up together You see him every day He means so much to you He means so much to you Growing up together The day he’ll disappear You know that day will come And u don’t really care U’re holding onto that Memory of love Your feelings disappear When he’s far away And u don’t really care You’re holding onto that Memory of love

Им не сжечь Твоё солнце им не вырвать Твои крылья ты будешь Сиять-сиять, лететь-лететь Вам не втоптать Моё сердце вам не стереть Мою память я буду любить Любить Любить, любить В поле растут цветы капли Блестят у воды Свет, рождённый в любви Встаёт над миром

Way… I can show you the way To the city where walls (that was) made of grasps, And nostalgia’s sleep walking through streets of imperial past… Seems she’s longing to stay… Everyone’s to obey, Everyone, Everywhere

Politicians Don’t hear my voice Of our hunger Of no choice You big up for me You cheer me up Television Is in your heart You root for them And they just kill Imitations Magnetic feel It’s upside down It’s not that clear And voice or freedom Now voice of fear All the wrong things Thet we’ve done Politicians On the run All the good things That won’t come They buried everything Under the sun You root for them But they don’t feel In the dark It’s time to steal It’s upside down No way to heal The voice of freedom Is voice of fear The sun is still up Don’t look down so much And let’s believe in love

about

Green Monster, the 4th Kito Jempere studio album is a journey through love, interconnectedness and creative freedom, bound together by musical friendship that breaks through walls, borders, languages and shapes; accumulated over a celebrated twenty year career and ten years of Kito Jempere.

Over fourteen tracks Kito teams up with over 26 artists from all over the world: a range of talented artists including Warp records artist Jimi Tenor, Red Snapper drummer Rich Thair, Azari & III ex-vocalist Starving Yet Full, L.I.E.S. records Lipelis (on bass), Curly Castro and SINDYSMAN. The album blends hip-hop, free-flowing jazz and world-building soundscapes into a piece dedicated to Kito’s musical roots; marrying multiple artforms, cultural influences and international artists into a body of work that feels deeply personal, healing and detailed. The accompanying artwork is a world created by Kito made using Midjourney prompt, connecting the albums audio world with visible objects — both vinyl and CD will contain booklets with lyrics and the visual world of Green Monster.

Kito describes the album ‘like getting Ennio Morricone, Weezer, The Beatles, Oneohtrix Point Never, Eduard Artemiev, Jaga Jazzist, Massive Attack, Fugazi, Jimi Tenor, Hans Zimmer, Radiohead, John Cage and Aphex Twin all together, then collaborating with movie-directors Wes Anderson, David Lynch, Dziga Vertov and Andrei Tarkovskiy.’ Used as a metaphor to help create his album.
