about

inspired by the Maya Angelou poem

lyrics

I was smitten, once bitten
didn't see the dagger hidden
and too trusting to scrutinize.

You were treasure, shit together.
Storms rollin, i see clear weather
Shoulda noticed, shoulda been more wise.

Too much patience, too much pride
Never wanted to hear my side
When someone shows you who they are
believe them the first time

Been around, heard some sounds
not the truth coming out of your mouth.
The trust in my people shaken.

There's no fixing what you're missing
and i don't have time to figure out
if you're flaking

Too much patience, too much pride
never wanted to hear my side.
When someone shows you who they are
believe them the first time.

about

The Tellways Detroit, Michigan

The Tellways mix their Motown Detroit roots with retro Caribbean sounds.

The result is unique; catchy harmonic vocals, vintage organ and pianos, heavy bass and drums, and jazzy melodic horn lines and solos.

It has elements of rocksteady, ska, reggae and soul mixed in their own way, and it will make you smile, dance, and sing along.
