Monkeyhawk is about the flashback of a dying american solder in a field in Vietnam.
The flashback are of happy times with his Vietnamese wife named Sunshine, and child named Fire...followed by the horrors of war.
Monkeyhawk means love. "Monkeyhawks not black or white"
lyrics
Monkeyhawks not black or white, makin love giving life to fire, Monkeyhawk baby sings a song, its gonna make me cry, its gonna make me cry...
Well the Monkeyhawks not black or white, makin love giving life to fire.
Beautiful life baby lets get high, gonna make cry, gonna drink whats bottled up inside.
Beautiful love baby last so long, burnin in love gonna raise our fire, Monkeyhawk baby sings a song, gonna make me cry, gonna drink whats bottled up inside.
**Yea we're makin love sunshine, and were gonna get high, i mean really high.
Yea we're makin love sunshine, its a beautiful son, gonna let it rockkkkkkkkk.
(bridge) Beautiful children vats of blood, bodies in piles, rain of fire....look to the sky there is no god, its gonna make me cry, its gonna make me cry.
Beautiful life baby death from above, death from above baby rain of fire.
Dont be shy baby lets make love, gonna make me cry, gonna drink whats bottled up inside.
**Yea we're makin love sunshine, and were gonna get high, i mean really high.
Yea we're makin love sunshine, its a beautiful son, gonna let it rockkkkkkkkk.
For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
