Waiting
(Jan. 3, 2015)
On a cold, puddle-filled night
some folks wait for a bus
under the shelter of a train station.
We don’t look at each other,
or speak to each other,
but we are waiting for the same bus.
Another unspeakable year gone by,
and we are still traveling
this road together,
me and my working-class comrades,
me & my fellow pilgrims –
we weary travelers in the night.
— Adam Gottlieb

With upbeat music and lyrics directly inspired by current struggles for social justice, Chicago-based Reggae Fusion band Adam Gottlieb & OneLove offer their songs to the soundtrack of a new revolution. Adam Gottlieb (first known from the Youth Spoken Word poetry movement) now writes primarily in the form of songs, brought to life by the incredible band OneLove. Comfortably rooted in a versatile Reggae/Folk-Rock sound, the band dexterously fuses Funk, Blues, Hip Hop, Ska, Jazz and more. You can find OneLove's music on Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, etc. Follow the band on Facebook and on our official website: adamgottliebandonelove.com.
