‘D man wit’ d hammer’ 

Walkin through St. James with my camera in tow

I happened upon a man whose name I did not know

he sat with a hammer in front of an old oil drum

turning a melody-less clamour into a sweet bee-dum-bee-dum-bum.

(the making of a steel pan)

loveismorethanafourletterword:

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth taking
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth making

Don’t let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance
I hope you dance
(Dance)
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
(Dance)
Where those years have gone
(Dance)

“some people read and meditate, others move scanty ya

some people are conscious about life, others are still panting ya

some people like strong drinks cold, like champagne and brandy ya

babies love ice cream, and cake, and cotton candy ya…”

Rise to the occasion, look at yourself den say yuh strong, 
no-one can stop yuh, oh yeah

 It’s for you to make the best in life, know that you got the chance
Get up & step towards your goal, it’s alright
