Lyrics ///
Times are so intense, I look around and nothing makes sense
I'm bewildered and I'm so tired
Always trying to figure out the best move to go about
It's a game of catch and there's no hide
I know I can't fix it all and summer always brings to fall and we're just a tiny speck in time
A clear mind is a rare find but I hear it's a smooth ride
Oh, can you teach me some time?
Undo, untie, unseal, unzip my spine up high
In a stretching caterpillar style
Stretching caterpillar style
Unleash, unpile, untwist my cross eye
In a stretching caterpillar style
Stretching caterpillar style
Before you go and do, you need to learn how to not do
You call it lazy, I call it calm down
Just sit and breath
It frees your mind and your heart from greed
You're all clear to see what's really goin' down
You stretch and moan, you see all your troubles gone
Yeah, all your troubles gone
A clear mind is a rare find but I can see it's a smooth ride
I think I got it, oh my!
Undo, untie, unseal, unzip my spine up high
In a stretching caterpillar style
Stretching caterpillar style...
And in this mess of a time, some good things happen.
We're excited to announce the upcoming Puzzles Vol. 4, our official Raw Tapes compilation, and to finally reveal the glorious track list!

Founded in Tel Aviv in 2008, Raw Tapes has grown from being the home of the local beat scene to a meeting point of producers, Jazz Artists, Vocalists and rappers, keeping itself on the cutting edge, yet always remaining soulful.
This is soooo good. iogi is extremely talented. It's so refreshing to hear original music. The time spent into these songs is evident and as a listener, they are appreciated. I had a hard time picking my favorite song. I went with Symphony of Blue because of the Mellow to Groovy transition. It's absolutely brilliant! Bliss is a very close second. This is an amazing piece of art <3 jlknoir
Can't wait to get to know this new album from Kutiman -- psychedelic soul from Israel. Like golden dustmotes floating in a warm sunbeam. Madeline v. F.
