🎤 Lyrics:
Action
Reaction
Stay with it
Hang on
Engage
Disengage
Deal with it head on
Head on
Inhale
Exhale
Wave coming
Undertow
Speed up
Go slow
Put on your new boots and deal with it
While marching on
Head on
Speak up
Stand down
Pick your battles
Look around
Reflect
Update
Pause your intuitions and deal with it head on
Head on
Rent seekers
Value extractors
Corrupt oligarchs
Power snatchers
Pervert incentives
Ludic loops
Nepotism
Tribal troops
Deflate
Escalate
Hit the sweet spot
Ignore the hate
Forget your miracles
Forget your god
Join forces and deal with it head on
Head on

"The animations for ‘Head On’ are based on a cellular automaton called ‘Game of Life’ created by mathematician John Horton Conway. ’Game of Life’ has emergent properties, meaning that complex forms can arise, or evolve, through simple individual parts. Without any designer, plan or intent. In the video, we used visuals from ‘Game of Life’ as an analogy for the flow of information; bits of information forming patterns. Adapting. Evolving. Mutating. Like memes, or mind viruses; positive, neutral or negative. Travelling from mind to mind in a never-ending war of ideas that we all participate in and are influenced by.” Director, Mikel Cee Karlsson. New single out now!

[@JesUSking17]

I just listen to this again sometimes I forget how dang good you are brother. I love you and so does Jesus

[@bolttracks]

there is just something about José's music that feels otherworldly, like it's coming from a better place where all that matters is our humanity.

[@cirocasarin]

I totally agree. There's such a deep humanness and sense of community, almost in a tribal and primitive way, coming out of his music. And the wisdom of simplicity as well. Truly inspiring. I'm really curious about what his musical influences are. With his use of pedal points and mixolydian/dorian modes and quartal harmony, it kind of sounds like nordic folk (which would make sense considering that he lives in Sweden).

[@angingis5922]

Yes!!! You feel alive while listening to his music

[@ahmadfaimaq]

I had the exact same feelings when I was listening to this. I can so relate to what you said. It feels like coming opening doors to a time, to a place that once was, that once existed, that was pure, bright, airy and full of joy and openness. I can't explain that feeling. This song helps me scratch the opening to that window.

[@danielbrown1724]

I first heard Jose's mesmerizing voice with Zero 7. Since then, I've been an avid admirer of his work. Probably the most distinctive voice I've ever heard. All you need is one note/lyric and you know immediately it's Jose. He evokes so much emotion with just his guitar and voice, it's truly remarkable.

Im dealing with heavy times right now and this brings me some inner peace if even for a brief moment.

In this times, this guy's music brings me that, it's good for us to know that we are not alone, that more people is having peace, with the same song, and maybe at the same moment. Hi to everyone from Chile. Sorry for my English. Hugs, and yes, there are bright times coming, "as soon as the storm is over, and all the fog is clear" from the song Storm.

Cannot wait for the album. You haven’t sold out on your sound. That’s not a common thing these days. Thank you for staying true to your soul in order to continue making music like this. It will always be good enough just as it is

[@Biggwoodjames]

Isn’t selling out the ultimate goal? You do something to make the most of it. Selling out should be the end goal whether you like it or not. Don’t misjudge selling out. It starts in the mirror.

[@sita5177]

Thank you so much for your art, José! I'm 22 and listen to your music for half of my life now. This video, your lyrics and what Mikel writes about information bits and how they form ever-changing patterns, about mind viruses... "Join forces and deal with it, head on". It resonates a lot. We're in crazy times! When will we as a collective see ideas as what they are - ideas, projections, castles of thought straight from the mind? When will we be willing to focus on the Living and Real, on that what connects us all without excluding any uniqueness, that we all bring as expressions of life? Can we choose love over fear? I'm giving my best and I send love to everyone who's reading this.

[@bert.hbuysse5569]

i remember back around 2011 when i hangout in my cousin's house on a weekend, i used to play this game called Red Dead Redemption on his PS3 for hours. then theres one moment where my character goes across the border to fictional Mexico, and the game starts to play Gonzalez's "Far Away", i felt so immersed listening to it as i watch my character rides his horse throughout the desert landscape.. now here i am, 10 years afterwards, still entranced by his newest songs haha
