2017
The newest EP from Singer/Songwriter Patrick Ames features the artist on a MIDI guitar synthesizer playing the piano and soprano saxophone via his Gibson Hummingbird. From the Gospel-driven, political revival "Reawakened,” to the skip-down-the-sidewalk "This Small Town", Ames’ new EP is full of surprises. His two backup singers are full-throated and in rare form for this 2017 wake-up reminder call about Ames’ “Indie music.”
1. “Reawakened” — The rockhouse gospel and #1 Track on the EP. Think Sly and the Family Stone.
The force of good it has been reawakened
The Force of good it has been it’s been reawakened
The hour has come for the power of belief
That the good in us all /is about to be released
The force of good has been reawakened
Don’t be fooled by the lies in the tweets
Don’t be cajoled by politicians on TV
Don’t be silent about dividing families
Because the good in us all / is about to be released
Reawakended, reawakened, reawakened
The force of good it has been reawakened
Don’t be shy about your equality
Don’t be quiet when they fence in the free
Don’t be violent when they interrupt the peace
Because the good in us all / is about to be released
Reawakended, reawakened, reawakened
The force of good it has been reawakened
The hour has come for the power of belief
That the good in us all / is about to be released
The hour has come for the power of belief
That the good in us all / is about to be released
The force of good it has been reawakened
The Force of good it has been reawakened
Are you reawoke?
