Proper Gandhi

Liner Notes

#punk #folkpunk #gandhi #quote #dostoevsky #quote #indierock
I borrowed a couple quotes from some of the most brilliant folks in history. Gandhi and Dostoevsky. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. all i have to say is:

Settle fights on the dance floor! -

Lyrics

Proper Gandhi

Keep on running in the free world.
Keep on writing truth on the walls for all the boys and girls.
Read Dostoevsky. Be Revolutionary.
It might be scary, but we'll be together.

“The mystery of existence herein lies, it’s not only staying alive
But finding something to live for.”
If we read and think, debate and laugh…
Forget the failures of our past…
Love Joy and Peace, now that’s hardcore!

“We shouldn’t be looking, (out there) for heroes,
We should be striving for good ideas.”
O’ Here we go.
This optimism is self fulfilling.
If we are willing to step up and make it so.

“The mystery of existence herein lies, it’s not only staying alive
But finding something to live for.”
If we read and think, debate and laugh…
Forget the failures of our past…
Love Joy and Peace, now that’s hardcore!

“The future depends on what we do,
In the present” Let’s be cool.
“To lose our patience is to lose the war”
“Let’s be the change we wish to see.”
It’s not cliche if we all agree.
Settle fights on the dance floor.

i really enjoy the vocal melodies. the chorus is really good. the lyrics are awesome! i like the contrast of the pulled back instruments on the last verse - makes the whole thing very dynamic
"Love Joy and Peace, now that’s hardcore!" love it

What a brilliant idea: a hardcore song wit a peace message! Great! And very tight band sound!

@heid 1w

Yes!! A catchy punk tune, with a well-layered mix of instruments well-played. I like "it's not cliche if we all agree". Nice work!

Wow! As a lover of both punk and Dostoevsky, I'm totally here for this! Oh, and Gandhi is f@#%ing cool, too. You've really done a great job here delivering a blistering punk song with a great message! Perfect, right down to the punny title. Love, joy, and peace are totally hardcore!
