Till it’s Over
SJ Tucker (Remix)
“Hold me ’til it’s over. How much time ’til Doomsday comes?” These words form the backbone of “1157” from its tense acoustic intro to its full-on rock conclusion. Originally released as part of 2016’s Green Album, an indie compilation which has helped Rainforest Trust secure the funding to conserve more than 10,000 acres of rainforest to-date in the DRC and elsewhere, this song’s purpose has always been to help listeners process and survive those things which terrify us. Singer-producer S. J. Tucker hopes, with this remix release, to lend emotional support to all who need it in our so-far perilous new century and oncoming new decade. Find community you love, build upon it, cherish those who help you maintain it, and your hope can never completely die. We can survive whatever comes as long as we take care of one another, no matter the time on the Doomsday Clock.

Warrior
Anilah, Wardruna
released January 22, 2015
“Warrior Revisited: a collaboration with Einar Selvik of Wardruna.
This song was composed on Cortes Island, a remote community off the west coast of Canada. The composition is meant to accompany ceremony and ritual, in whatever form the listener chooses.
“The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.” Carlos Casteneda”
