TASH SULTANA – Flow State
Può essere che questo “Flow State” lo inserirò nella mia top ten del 2018.
Un gran bel debutto per questa ventitreenne australiana di Melbourne.
Una vita faticosa fatta di droga e di trip che l’hanno portata a vivere tra stati di panico e allucinazioni continue.
Poi la svolta. Il rehab e la musica che diventa la sua vita.
Suona di tutto, fino a 15 strumenti, e questa cosa le viene con grande facilità fino a pensare che la musica possa essere la sua strada.
Il risultato è questo debutto “Flow State”.
Un disco semplice, prodotto, scritto, eseguito ed arrangiato tutto da Tash stessa, che è miscellanea di stili, soul, raggae, jazz il tutto con un costante sottofondo pop.
Un disco terapeutico che ha aiutato Tash ad essere se stessa, ad uscire dalla sua spirale esistenziale e a riprendersi la sua vita.
“There are days that you can’t do shit. And that’s okay, that’s alright. Sometimes you just need to cry, jump in the ocean, fuckin’ scream, have a run, you know. But it’s important that you voice that shit, because the demons only live inside you if you feed them and let them grow. So get that shit out of your fuckin’ soul. Speak the truth, you know, cause you’re not really living until you’re actually living in a truthful manner. And that took me a long time to realize”.
Ecco la sostanza di “Flow State”.

Quotes:
So tell me where the time go
And where it stops nobody really knows
And I throw my hands up, I surrender to the night
Kissed the pain away, I know I never wanna see your face again
But I was thinking about, thinking about, thinking about how to do this
Trying to find myself
I emerge from my foggiest
Six months sober, I don’t know where the time has gone
But I tell my mother, do you think she’ll be proud?
I tell my father put two feet on the ground
‘Cause I was only screaming out for help (Murder to the Mind)
Blinded by the light
Putting up one hell of a fight
Weightless in the water
Don’t care what they taught ya
No, I don’t care
No I don’t
No I
I don’t care
No, I don’t care
‘Cause I’m going crazy, again
‘Cause I’m going crazy, again (Pink Moon)
Harvest your love, harvest your love, for me
I’ll lay it down, I’ll lay it down, slowly
Put your hands on my face
At an orderly pace
I see
Put your love in the sand
As it makes no demands
I believe, I believe
But you keep on rolling
On a rolling stone
And you fight until the finish line
Carries you home
Carries you home (Harvest Love)
