Open songbook →Sutra songbooks
Curated series aligned with a primary sutra, meaning-first listening paths through the catalog.
KNOWsutra
"Is it true?" Questions that matter. Fact-check the universe, call out the paradoxes, and choose peace. This is where clarity begins.
Ask: PEACE (not war)
Songs in the name of history, for the lovers, and everyone who refuses to unsee patterns of deceit and abuse. Peace is not a default. It's a practice.
Ask: (Naked) TRUTH
The truth is agnostic. Honesty is brave, selfless. And it doesn't care if you're embarrassed. Songs asking the questions most would rather forget in the name of personal comfort, and power games.
Ask: BERTRAND (knows)
Bertrand Russell walks into a bar, orders a paradox, and starts a philosophical fight club. Songs for the ethically curious.
Ask: But(t) WHY
One question. Socrates asked it, they killed him for it. We're still asking anyway.
BLOWsutra
"Is it fair?" The shadow realm where we name the foul play and choose to speak up. Loud, necessary, and yes, it stinks. Antidote: SHOW or FLOW.
Speak: EGO (gone loco)
Narcissistic Personality Disorder in music. Songs about the people who confuse themselves with the whole universe, and the rest of us paying the tab.
Speak: REVOLT (now)
From Robert Burns to Victor Hugo to right now. The long arc of justice has always needed a banjo. So many songs. Don't wait...
Speak: CENSOR(ed)
What they banned, deleted, redacted, and rewrote. Songs about the inconvenient truths that survive anyway.
Speak: APES (gone wrong)
Grifters, criminals, idiocrats. What happens when the apes take the wheel? Many songs on the subject... none of them wrong.
SHOWsutra
"Is it fun?" The emergency joy valve. Absurdity as medicine, holy fools on stage. Angels fly because they take themselves lightly. Hope is dope.
Play: FANANA (party)
Many songs, one invitation: come dressed as your most hilarious self. Featuring: dirty words, creepypastas, Bo Burnham covers, and feathers. Lots of feathers.
Play: B.J. (is for banana jokes)
Two songs walk into a bar. One's a banana joke. The other's wearing a mask. Still better than most political discourse.
Play: (Be) The Fool
The fool is not stupid. The fool is free. Songs in praise of cracked things, wiggling things, and the holy comedy of being human.
GROWsutra
"Is it brave?" Where we dare to care out loud. Empathy over hypocrisy, clarity over superficiality, win-win over zero-sum. Find your coconuts.
Dare: GOD (etc.)
Honest, curious, and chronically unimpressed by official doctrine. Songs asking God (etc.) and his sheeples the questions the pew wouldn't permit.
Dare: KIND(ness)
Kindness: it's not about being nice, the soft kind with a bow on it kind of kind, it's about being clear, aka playing fair. Songs for the brave loving ones. Blessed be infinite players.
Dare: DARE (to care)
Songs about the one muscle nobody trains: the courage to actually give a damn. About truth. About others. About yourself.
FLOWsutra
"Is it free?" Breathe deeper, slower. Learn to trust, intimately. Songs for when you're trying too hard and need to let the river do the work.
GLOWsutra
"Is it full?" Gratitude with grit. The sheer poetry of being human and alive. Think rainbows, puppies, ocean breeze, a hot beverage... Happiness is simple.
BOWsutra
"Is it awe?" Where grace meets gravity. We're tiny specks in a sea of stars, and love is so mighty even death is nothing at all.
QUACKsutra
"Is it foul?" BLOW's unruly sub-sutra. Mock the grotesque quacks, name the shady ducks, make America constitutional again, alright?...
Quack: MAxxxA Saga
MAGA, MAHA, MAKA, MAMA, MASA, MAWA. Six acronyms. One burning question: make America what, exactly?
Quack: DUCK (shady)
Meet Duck Shady. He's so much dumber and meaner than Slim Shady. And not funny at all.
Quack: FOTUS Circus
Step right up. The FOTUS is in the ring, grotesque clowns are running the republic, and the entrance music is ubuesque. Enjoy.
