I was attending an Ayahuasca ceremony last week, and I had just found my way out of the darkness and was going through some troubled waters as I tried to find my way home again when I accidently heard this song, Bring ´em all in, playing for the first time in my life. It's a great song, and I love the performance, but the message of the lyrics was the most profound I have ever heard from a song that isn't a religious hymn.
This is a song whose lyrics are worthy of the words of Christ, and it is probably what he might say if he returned today to find us on the brink of a global nuclear war that would cause the total extinction of the entire human species.

During the ceremony, I suddenly sat straight up, gasping for air, as time seemed to stop. I looked at the shaman, who had stopped beating his drum and was standing looking out the window (one of the long sides of the room is covered in a big row of windows), when there suddenly was an intense bright light and I saw a huge fireball forming, but as it was about to reach us, it suddenly slowed down as it reached the windows and was left hanging in midair.
The air was trembling, and the silence that followed was deafening. Then I understood that I was being given a vision and a harsh warning about the immediate danger that we are currently in, as our news media is refusing to inform its people of it.

We are at a point where the decisions made by a few individuals who underestimate the ramifications of the consequences of a calculated risk, which they assume none of the leaders of the nuclear powers would start a thermonuclear war over when Armageddon suddenly erupts because a red line has been crossed in a way that then might force a nuclear doctrine to execute a predetermined action no one can stop,
Any future Ukraine F-16 taking off in the direction of Russia could be carrying a B-61 gravity Dial-a-Yield Nuke with a variable yield between 0.3 and 170 kilotons that's aimed at a decapitation strike to take out the Russian government, and the Russian doctrines will act accordingly.

It doesn't matter what side you are on because on this one, we all need to be on the same side, and we must all do what we can to get the message out right now. We have reached a stage where we have run out of time. The time to act is right now.

Bring'em All in
Stephane St-Laurent

Apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dans
Amenez-les tous dans mon coeur
Apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dans
Amenez-les tous dans mon coeur

Apportez les petits poissons
Amenez les requins
Apportez'em de la luminosité
Amenez-les du noir

Apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dans
Amenez-les tous dans mon coeur
Apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dans
Amenez-les tous dans mon coeur

Amenez-les dans les cavernes.
Amenez-les des hauteurs
Amenez-les de l'ombre
Tenez-les à la lumière

Apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dans
Amenez-les tous dans mon coeur
Apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dans
Amenez-les tous dans mon coeur

Faites-les sortir de purdah
Faites-les sortir du magasin
Faites-les sortir de la cachette
Posez-les à ma porte

Apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dedans, apportez-les tous dans
Amenez-les, amenez-les.

The raw power of this song is undiminished by the decades. It is tender and brutal and everything that life is.

@CaptainOfTheLostWaves

It ‘houses’ a vulnerability throughout it Jennifer. It’s haunting in the most joyous and air thumping of fashions

@terrytibbs5678

I can really relate to this song. We had just done some laundry. Hung it all out to dry and then it started pissing down. We ended up having to bring em all in. Mike I am sure has been through this and captures it so well in this song.

@fervellasverzas3620

I laughed a lot with your comment. Congratulations on your comment.

@markrendall994

ha ha ha nice one terry .. you still got the ladders for sale pal

@sophie-grace9143

You need to get into The Basement Tapes. That's all I'm saying.

@SpudWil

Yeah, but since it's laundry, or washing, it'd be "bring IT all in", wouldn't it? Curses.

@bospin

Heard this song today for the first time. It blew me completely away . It's so beautiful that it hurts.

@TheNeoKalashnikovs

Every new song I find by Mike Scott just gets better and better its crazy!!!
