Music
My first song in 2000 was in collaboration with David Kirton, "Irie Man Action". Just before recording the song, I was blasting through the sky and doing some waveriding outside of Kingston, Jamaica. Action!!
Yeah man, my first major concert was 2003 in Silvaplana in the Swiss Mountains, with Shakes as vocalist and Kevin, my brother, on drums. I performed again in Barbados in 2005 at the Culture Shock concert, where again my brother Kevin joined me on drums. At that show, FullMoon blew the conch.
My CD, "Graduate to... a higher high" is a compilation of all the songs I've done over the years. It's my perspective of the beach culture I live. It's spoken word, raw and direct, not commercial. It's real and authentic, with me as a man of the water telling my story.
These are some of the spoken words from the song "Graduate", which was produced in Barbados by Allan Shepherd of Gray Lizard Productions.
Graduate
Life Upon Earth
Beach culture is what I am
A life style of mine
Revolution of the mind
Page don't be afraid to turn the page and catch the new wave
Understand the line
Beach culture revolutionize the mind
Understand the line
I want to go to another place
I want to graduate, graduate to another line
Dress code, flip flop, baggies, the tan, the tan I am,
The man I am, the human I am, the animal I am, that explains the way I am, that's the way I am
At the office as bright as it shines
See the shine, that's how bright it is,
The shine, that's the office
Cross the line
That's the office, sand, sea, sun fun, that's the office
Me as man, I want to catch one more ride
Because that's the way I am.
The tan I am, the man I am
The human I am, the animal I am
That explains the way I am
That's who I am, Action man
Understand the line
Action man
Can't stop this man
Tan, man, line
Can't stop this man
Seed plant dead Alive... it will spread
I've got a dream
I want to go to another place
Far, far, I see far far down the road
I want to play all day and get paid to play
I believe in a higher high
I believe in destiny, I can't stop this flight... right
I believe
I believe superman can fly high
I believe sunfun run the sun
I believe sunfun run the sky
It's a revolution of the mind
Understand the line
It time to graduate to a higher high
Another song, "Out of the Box", was recorded in Barbados. These thoughts are about traveling on The Professional Windsurfing Association tour and interacting with all competitors and people. I am a product of my experiences in life, "windsurfing is life to me".
Out of the Box - Spoken words/Brian Talma
Yeah, wondering and pondering man,
I got to change my mind, I have to change it.
I got to take a chance, can't be scared to fail. I have to live my dreams.
PWA, Islands Boyz tour, it's time to explore
Soar to another floor
& open that door and be on that floor.
I am ready for the tour
Nomad
Not mad
I am Nomad
Worlds to Worlds. Spinning out of control
Like another lost dot. Different spots and dots, I have a plot.
Across the many sidewalks, Like ants or tops
Wobbling
Step out the Box
Step out the Box
Different spots, across the many sidewalks, ants
The Pritchard thrown, Stone homegrown, Brother Frans understands
Dunkerbecks respect
Dioni, Ricardo and Kauli's threat
King pin Naish make a splash
Different dots and spots, lots sidewalks
Cisco, Polakow going off
Don't forget Priority
Jason P.
Step out the Box
Step out the Box
This is the flight, lush greenery
Big wave to play
Hawaii, Fiji, sand one palm & nuff sand
Across the blue & back down to the North sea
Germany, Holland, Austria, Italy
It's cold believe me, Building high as sky
& many different dots and spots and this is the party spot
Wobbling Wobbling
Worlds of Worlds like the lost dots
On the many sidewalks, until I come to a complete
Dead stop.
