    LYRICS
    Oh we have fallen
    as a whole
    and were sinking
    down a hole
    without thinking
    about our loves ones
    who might be shrinking
    into a sunken space
    with glass surrounding
    their powers
    that are pounding
    in their temple in their mind
    theres seems to be a complexity to being kind
    to your space to your temple
    to your neighbors
    who’ve seen the changes
    we all feel change
    some of us wear masks
    to hide the pain
    And i just wish i could ask
    QADIR WHATS THE DEAL NOW?
    WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN?
    QADIR I MISS YOU DEARLY
    WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN
    OH hemos sido esclavos
    to these systems
    that project false beauty
    exorcisms
    burn it out of my body
    This dependency don’t help nobody
    we’re sitting in dark rooms
    with bags on our heads
    waiting for god to touch us
    We just wanna be closer
    its overwhelming
    some of us wear masks
    because some can’t adapt
    I just wish i could ask
    QADIR WHATS THE DEAL NOW?
    WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN?
    QADIR I MISS YOU DEARLY
    WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN

    In 1997, I was covering local music in Toronto. An artist I interviewed said ‘music is our last voice’. Songs like this remind me of that quote.

    I saw Mr. Hakim live back in October at Desert Daze, and he closed the set with this song. Chanting along with him and the crowd was almost spiritual, this song is truly amazing. I am so ready to hear this whole album, and I know the next opportunity I get to see him I’m buying tickets in a heartbeat, I suggest everyone do the same. Much love, thank you for getting us through these trying times

    Qadir / Means "capable, powerful" in Arabic. This transcription represents two different ways of spelling the name in Arabic. In Islamic tradition القادر (al-Qadir) is one of the 99 names of Allah.

    Had the pleasure of seeing Nick perform at the House of Blues in Dallas back in 2017. When I first heard Green Twins I was blown away at how different his music was and I was moved by just how beautiful sounding and mesmerizing it was. He was already at that time on the rising scene but had and still has an amazing fan base.There was only a crowd of about 200 people max in a small show room and it was the best live show that I have ever been to! I remember watching the openers and standing right next to Nick in the crowd and it’s so mind blowing to me to see him from small crowds to now a huge and ever-growing artist playing for crowds of all types! Nick is such a talented dude, his outlook on this new album coming is a new shift and I am so excited to see what he has in store for us in the near future! This is such a great song with a powerful message! Thanks for being such an inspiration for me and many others, Nick!

    These lyrics speak to me and a current relationship so strongly. Its crazy to think about. I wonder if they were written in reflection to a similar dynamic I am in. Or maybe they were written to express something so vastly different that he experienced. Either way, this song was released during a time period in my life that reflects in these lyrics. This song has been played so much the past two weeks and its gotten me through a lot of feelings. Thank you so much Nick. You are a gift of pure light to this often challenging world.
