My little one can't see All of the harm I bring on to her and me Walking home alone book in my hand grin in my brain I descend into a side street Somewhere in this room There's a fire Is it you? The red light pushes underneath the door I don't care, in these sheets I don't sleep I always seem to come out alright In the end, don't I? In the end In the end don't I Someday one day I know You'll open the door on me I'll get found out Somewhere in this room There's a fire Is it you? The red light is testing me daily I don't care, in these sheets I don't sleep alone I always seem to come out alright In the end, don't I? In the end In the end don't I You know what i'm like I take what I want I take What I want, outside Three chairs the men don't care Though they pretend to wait for me there Three chairs the men don't care Though they pretend to wait for me there

Whose Side 03:51
There’s a feeling in the street I grew up here A history of mounting heat I’ve been told, over and over Make it known Whose side, whose side are you on? Whose side are you on? The energy that it takes ahhh to care about someone Else, It’s a zero It’s a zero sum game We all stand to lose something Whose side, whose side are you on? Whose side are you on? In your house on the street Look around on the bus Do you feel connected? In your town at your job All the shows that you watch Are you represented? It’s a zero, It’s a zero, It’s a zero The journalists don’t really care for me That’s why, I’m out here The structure wasn’t built for me That’st why, I’m out here The journalists don’t really care for me That’s why, I’m out here It’s a zero, It’s a zero, It’s a zero

Loaded Gun 04:16
I want to go slow I don’t want to rush in Quiet down my restless needs For action, in opposite Direction, from you And then you pull me I’m so used to pushing myself Then you pull me I’m so used to pushing myself Oh oh oh did you see me? I look at you like nobody Else does Oh oh oh did you notice? I say your name, like my head Was a loaded gun Make no mistake I was born alone Every man for himself Isn’t much of a home Then you pull me I’m so used to pushing myself Then you pull me I’m so used to pushing myself Oh oh oh did you see me? I look at you like nobody Else does Oh oh oh did you notice? I say your name, like my head Was a loaded gun

I have never felt like this before I don’t know where you came from Traversing, this universe Like a man in search for better ways To live, to die Let’s go to the river And look into each other’s eyes Through water mirrors Yes we both agree I am a mystery Still waking up from vivid dreams I can feel you next to me Right there And when we met Electric, electric, ahhh Remember when you said to me You’d give up every ounce of blood That you had You’d give up every ounce of blood That you had Yeah Just to be, cerca, cerca de mi Just to be, cerca, cerca de mi Can I remain, unmoving Till the right action arises By itself Let the mud settle down Yes we both agree, you and I Have known each other in a different......... Life And when we drift Electric, electric, ahhh Remember when I told you Your honesty reveals your strength No expectations It’s like a dance, you let go I got no expectations When intuition guides your eye I got no, I got no expectations No expectations I got no, I got no expectations No expectations I got no, I got no expectations No expectations No Just to be, cerca, cerca de ti Just to be

There, there We’re in this together You and I There’s nothing else but wind Between Heavy stones fall down Like drones The ground is shaking I look up When will enough will be enough? Na niou bolo Na niou bolo Na niou bolo, té djapanté Té djapanté Bougnou djapanté Bougnou djapanté There, there We’re in this together You and I There’s nothing else but wind Between Heavy stones fall down Like drones The ground is shaking I look up When will enough will be enough? Na niou bolo Na niou bolo Na niou bolo, té djapanté Té djapanté Bougnou djapanté Bougnou djapanté

about

Tamar Dart's first known memory involves war: she was 3 and had to relocate because scud missiles were being launched at her home town. Consequently since an early age themes of civil unrest and war fused into her thoughts and art. In beyond things dark societal issues including addiction, the murder of Michael Brown, and drone strikes are contrasted and eased by concepts of rebirth, a universal connection, and a profound love spanning many generations — a love beyond things. beyond things is Dart’s attempt to heal herself out loud while inviting you to join her. She is urging the listener not to go at it alone – a lesson she is still learning.
