Holy Week 2023 By Adam Gottlieb
On the full moon in April
80 years since Warsaw
40 since Harold Washington
In the middle of Ramadan
On the night before Passover
We in Chicago
barely escaped
from the narrowest prison
We woke the next morning
with room to breathe
for the first time in my life
clearing our vision
Seeing each other
embattled but standing
with enough trust in ourselves
to have made the decision
to feed more than punish
to feel more than fear
to believe in a new life
to see ourselves risen
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.
