MC Xander | Om Muni | Live Looping, Buddhist Mantras!!

LYRICS BELOW:
Thanks for watching my live performance of Om Muni, which appears on my 2018 album, Hymns. As you know I love Dub, D&B etc but for this one we're going in on some Buddhist Mantras!! I hope you like this vibe. So sit, relax and enjoy :)
Pick up the full CD digipack on my website at www.mcxander.com, buy the digital at mcxander.bandcamp.com or listen on Spotify! Also I have JUST launched my Patreon page at / mcxandermusic - if you pledge a minimum of $5 dollars a month, each month I will be making available cool shit like HQ audio downloads of my live performances (something that lots of you have asked for so you can listen to the audio without RUclips and in better quality), unrealeased tracks, early access to live videos, vlogs, live q&a sessions, artwork, backgrounds and much more.
The words that form the chorus of this song are a traditional Buddhist mantra that was taught to me by the incredible Sophia Zoe Efthimiou of Zu Choir. The harmonies were arranged by Mahasukha, you can check out his bandcamp at mahasukha.bandcamp.com
LYRICS
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
I heard a beat in an old mantra
Saw past all appearances
In the guidance upon my heart
And in the silence I'm reawoken
I was hiding in my shadow
In a cave deep in the ground below
See I was guarding a holy ghost
But I was guarded against your devotion
Your choir made our voices strong
You know I cried when I heard that song
Choked up man I still sang along
I didn't want that spell to be broken
All the people around want to talk
about the rainy weather and the foreign wars
But I couldn't move one inch from the spot
I just sat with my heart blown open
Holy vibrations, words of the ancients, slide into me
I won't be forsaken, these roads that I'm taking, will take me to peace
And I'm singing....
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
You know I'm willing to be cured of the fear
The darkness will come for a thousand years
But all we need is one bright light to appear
To illuminate the shadows
When our mantra is a riddim of woe
Gotta breathe, take on a different approach
Got to breathe deep in the things that we love, until we manifest it
You cry a tear but you don't know why
It's like your crying more for the light that you hide
Caught up in the terror that you're burning too bright
But deep inside you're dying to be breaking open
Now the silence has been broken, these islands were too lonesome
But the day still belongs to us.
Holy vibrations, words of the ancients, slide into me
I won't be forsaken, these roads that I'm taking, will take me to peace
And I'm singing....
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
Wanna go back to the start
when we were feeling our hearts
Can you see in the dark?
Can you be with the dark?
