Kothbiro - rain is coming
Auma do you hear what I say
The rain is on it's way
Return our cattle home
Yaye the children
What is it that you think you do?
The rain is on it's way 
Return our cattle home...

The song is "Staralfur" by Sigur Ros.

Marconi Union "Weightless"

This is the song “Weightless,” by British ambient artists Marconi Union. It was written in conjunction with sound therapists from the UK.
According to this ShortList article, “Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm.”

Yeah, whatever. All I know is that I’ve listened to a decent amount of guided meditations and spiritual new-agey relaxation sounds, and this one seems to really trump them all.  Lay back in a comfy place, put on your best headphones and relax. Or better yet, get a massage while listening to this tune. Even better, lay back on your lounger on a boat floating in the South China Sea, listen to this song and watch the clouds drift by while the warm breeze caresses your bare skin.

Funkadelic "Maggot Brain"

"Maggot Brain" is a song by the band Funkadelic. It appears as the lead track on their 1971 album of the same name. A penetrating, mind-melting guitar solo by Eddie Hazel. The solo is mostly played in a pentatonic minor scale in the key of E over another guitar track of a simple arpeggio. .

Michael Franti "Ganja Baby"

Heavy medicine
ya see my eyes are feeling red again
I'm bringin' light
like Thomas funky Edison
been in the desert for forty seven days
Purple Haze
the poison that I tasted never changed
turn up the woofers so I can feel the beat
vibrate my belly like a bomb in harmony
summer heat
my back is sticking to me to the seat
bare feet
tank top and shorts is all ya need but,
summer breeze
I'm feelin' kinda fine
I'm rollin with my shorty all the time
wind and grind lovely shake your behind
cinnamon skin be bringing sin to my mind
but whether or not the weather's hot
or the weather's cold
I'm wrapping her like a blanket with my whole soul
so that she can feel me
like Coca Cola I'm the woo-o-oh oh the sweet thing
my girl lollipop she growing mad crops
she rollin' herbs everyday
at about 4 o' clock
tick tock
strike the hammer while the Iron's hot
ooh girl watcha got cooking in the pot
see Mary Mary quite contrary
how does your garden grow?
Hydrophonic ultra supersonic
or does it grow naturally slow?

Ganja babe my sweet ganja babe
I love tha way ya love me and the way ya misbehavin'
ganja babe my sweet ganja babe
come wake body-ody take my mind away

Everybody get down and do the boogaloo
just like the cover of I want you
yoo hooo look watcha gonna do
watcha gonna do when the rent comes due
round up the posse and call up the crew
5 bucks at the door and ya bring ya own booze
call ya neighbor 'cause they can come too
be sure and bring ya records 'cause I only got a few
so baa baa black sheep have you any wool
yes sir, yes sir a nickle bagful
some for my partner and some for my crew
some for my ganja baby she needs 2
cuz just like me they want to be... high


Ganja babe my sweet ganja babe
I love tha way ya love me and the way ya misbehavin'
ganja babe my sweet ganja babe
come wake body-ody take my mind away

Ganja babe my sweet ganja babe
I love tha way ya love me and the way ya misbehavin'
ganja babe my sweet ganja babe
come wake body-ody take my mind away

There goes the gal,
In the pretty skirt with the
Golden smile that made you feel new.
Like when the marching band strolls the street,
You know another years come too soon.
So you took her hand and she gave a look, that sent you to the moon.
And there you spoke the words of a gentleman
Can I have this dance with you
Can I share this dance with you

Won't you come on home,
I built us a flying machine.
And well go where you want, we'll sail the seven seas.
I hope all is well, in Daisy's dreams.

There goes the gal,
Yeah the pretty bird, on the golden mile that made you feel real.
She took withon to the stars.
She don't make no big deal.
There she sits with them big old fields of daisies and rusty mills.
And when the sun it shines on her hair of gold,
She's beautiful,
She's beautiful.

Won't you come on home
I built us a flying machine
And well go where you want well sail the seven seas
I hope all is well in Daisy's dreams
