The lyrics were originally written in 2017, recorded on a different track (jazz instrumental in 2024) and somehow, a new track has transitioned LaiLoMuzik into creating her own version of The Blues. Keep in mind this concept is not complete and is a "seed" idea that just might grow into a powerful tree once the team gets a professional engineer to complete the final mix. Thank you for being in the studio with me ;)
I GOT THIS!

This track is an original track created years ago by a young man who was barely out of his teens at the time. LaiLoMuzik heard it and had to put her lyrics to this one! This is not an industry track and was created for an actual album project which contained all original/in-house production. This is why we ask for an additional $1 donation added to the regular .99 donation request. Show your support.
"I ain't got much of anything. They wanna' get close and try to take me for everything." - Lai'Lo

Many so-called professional studios give LaiLoMuzik a hard time when she has to keep reiterating that she does not want her lyrical concepts to be recorded or mixed with “all the bells, whistles, gimmicks” that other artists/engineers use to “trick your ears”. Many only seem to care about getting through your speakers and into your head; eventually hypnotizing you into giving up your time and money.
Lai’Lo’s goal has always been to speak to your soul through MINDMUZIK.
Usually, projects end abruptly as conflicts arise and tracks remain in THE VAULT until we have an opportunity to re-record the lyrics again.
This track was recorded in approximately 5 different states at multiple studios, on different instrumentals, as Lai’Lo and her team kept searching for the same (or similar) level of expertise that was lost when Booker T. passed away.
Each time, it was a true disappointment because the team usually discovered that these “pop up” studios have no idea what they’re doing; failing to capture the essence of the track or the lyrics.
LaiLoMuzik was definitely “standing on the edge” when she first wrote this in 2015. Spiritual warfare was unsurmountable. It was the track, paper, and pen which supported her as her only friends to have deep conversations with. Got that? Let that marinate in your mind for a bit…
Lai’Lo always begins the writing process (after prayer and meditation) to redirect her away from extreme rage and sorrow; capturing the thoughts of that moment…usually without the need to use profanity.
Support authenticity not fakers. FACTS.
Your assignment: Listen. Learn. Relate.

Sanctuary was originally created and recorded in 2006 during a time when Lai'Lo was trying to figure out an escape from an extremely abusive relationship. Domestic violence happens to women, men, and children and should be acknowledged and addressed everyday. Take a moment to remember those who lost their lives to domestic violence and respect those who made it out without carrying open wounds into new relationships.

Unfortunately, people have been misled to believe that spiritual attacks upon small children only happen in movies. Wrong.
