lyrics
When the sun shines
I soak it up
and when it rains
I fill my cup.
When the wind blows
I bend with it
and if it snows
I let it sit.
I go along
with all that is
and I am strong
in suppleness.
I don’t make plans,
I have no goals.
I know that I’m
not in control.
I might get big.
I might grow old.
I might die young.
My story might never be told.
I’m one of many
we’re of this land.
One with the air we breathe,
the ground on which we stand.
If I should fall,
ten more will rise.
Life goes on.
Nothing ever really dies
We are all the same
but we have our own place.
We’re playing our own game,
running our own race.
We all share this world,
it isn’t yours or mine.
We’re part of a whole
no individual can define.
And we are holy.
We have great power.
Our roots run deep
and we stand proud.
We stand for the Earth.
We reach up so high.
We take from the ground
and we give to the sky.
We take from the sky
and give to the ground.
As above so below is how the story goes.
The cycle goes round and round…
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
(Ras Stone ad lib:)
The cycle goes round
and round in circles.
Comes back again,
like Mother Earth.
With the celebration of life and love and light and Inity.
Boom!
We don't want no separation inna the world.
One love. One Inity.
We all belong inna this world.
No-one owes it, and no-one owns it.
Y'know what I mean.
So much separation for no reason.
One blood, one Inity, one family,
that's how we roll inna the Nation.
Let the music take control of your soul and embrace the love inna the world.
That's the Owlet Nightjar.
And I'm the roots man Ras Stone.
Me don't want, me don't want,
no-one a go die in vain.
Me don't want, me don't want,
them a suffer in vain.
And we are holy.
We have great power.
Our roots run deep
and we stand proud.
We stand for the Earth.
We reach up so high.
We take from this ground,
and we give to the sky.
And we take from the sky,
and we give to the ground.

Owlet Nightjar play a unique blend of soul, dub & blues, with elements of reggae, pop & psychedelic rock thrown in for good measure. They are based in Wellington, New Zealand and have a bit of a thing for trees.
Rugged and raw with such depth, purity and emotional intensity. True soul music. The passing of brother Dave (a.k.a. Rawiri, Gnibi) was one of the major inspirations for The Regenerative Principle. Owlet Nightjar
Swampy, stonking, groovy, psychedelic, hypno-gypsy, neo-spiritual blues from dutch/kiwi powehouse trio My Baby. I have well and truly smashed this album! Their phenomenal debut. Love these guys. Owlet Nightjar
Roaring space rock from this London group, with every instrument turned up to 10, and all of the songs reaching stunning crescendos. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 9, 2019
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
A slow drip of Tropicália-infused psychedelia from New Orleans rock outfit Blue Basin: balmy one moment, aggressive the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2022
