Precious Love Stones

One of a kind Got me feeling like a precious gem Or like a stack of black chips Because I know how much you love gamblin’ Put your emotions into it Rub my body while you kiss The parts of me that go unknown Convinced that you enjoy seeing me tremble

Spark in your eye, like a glimpse into heaven Some say it’s a lie, they don’t know you and I You are my precious love stone When I want to give up, fill me with hope I am your precious love stone Fit for a Queen, in our Castle of Hope

SHOW ME ON THE DAILY

A kiss on my forehead before you roll out of bed You may not think I’m awake, I’m laying here waiting for it Whisper that you love me before you close your eyes Send me to the sweetest dreams before the wake of sunrise

I want this on the daily Morning noon and night And if it sounds exhausting My love for you ain’t right

Hold me, hug me tightly, struggle letting go If you can’t afford to lose me, I need it to be shown Hand written love notes, never-ending requests for selfies Sneak a phone call in, miss my voice and tell me

I want this on the daily Morning noon and night And if it sounds exhausting My love for you ain’t right

My soul traveled through galaxies and timezones to stand with you today Peer into my eyes, sit me on your lap, fingers brush through strands of my hair so gently Send shivers down my spine, ignite me, electrify me, baby Love me, be the love, show the love, show me on the daily

I Don't Know (And That's OK)

Spent most my years disillusioned about what I need Thought there was more I had to have before focusing Excuse and self-sabotage, success would never find me Now, the older I get and the less I speak The more I listen and sit softly Graceful knocks on my door remind me Give my doubt away, finally live free Uncertainty is like a cancer If you let it settle If you let it meddle We ain't supposed to always know the answer Let it go

Hollenbeck River Bend

As I ran round the moss-shaded bend My mind strayed towards what once had been I breathed the smell of the sweet river in Grew tired, but pumped and pumped again

Sprinkles of culture here now, what was it back then Hearts filled with tears, how will this story end

In front of the old Hope home The red, white and blue flag made me tremble Hung at half staff, not waving in the toxic blue wind Sound of the drums remind me of my blood within …My veins Spinning and dancing, praying and enchanting Faces distraught, some half smiling

Sprinkles of culture here now, what was it back then Hearts filled with tears, how will this story end

Much to do, I give it one more go 'gain To satisfy my soul and not let this moment end Those men fighting for shot caller position They don’t know the world that I live in It’s alive because we built it

A woman strums on her guitar I begin to write this song Chanting, enchanting, my people live on! Sprinkles of culture here now, what was it back then Hearts filled with tears, how will this story end

Love Run Dry(ve)

I took a dive. Head first and thirsty. Found no water inside. Only carpet covered hardwood floor. Will your love run dry? When I’m ready to be submerged, what will I find?

I took a drive. Spellbound and speedy. There were no waves in sight. But you opened the door of our sandcastle home. Will my love run dry? Once you’ve gifted all the shells, will I leave with the tide?

Ain't It Funny

Like a strike to my funny bone, you are. Involuntarily twitch, alive. Trigger a quiver, inside. Today. Tomorrow. For life.

Sometimes meals are fancy and require lots of preparation time to feed a dinner table full of fine people. Other times, quite like this one, meals are quickly sautéed and seasoned veggies... that's a wrap!! #veggiedelight #itsdelicious #willsingforveggies

Taking a moment to breathe in the fresh morning air and the smell of wet grass while enjoying these vegan pancakes on the porch. Breakfast for my mind, body and spirit. #itsdelicious #atimetoreflect #attitudeofgratitude #ilovemamaearth #angiesgourmetsteeziness

Hanging out with this musical muse today. George Verdugo (Stereo Monster) is one of my life buddies. Approximately 10 years ago, George and I spoke of making music together. Well, it’s come to pass.

Walking in the Stars

[angiekings]

Liberty! I was honored to share some of my originals (on Monday, February 9) at a benefit show for a lost friend. It was the first time I sang these songs in front of a crowd and I was holding back tears the whole time. Powerful words, though, of learning lessons and pushing forward through the hard times. It seemed fitting. I'm grateful that Charlie (sound engineer/mc for the night) was persistent enough with me, because I was having a hard time finding a song within during the grieving process (seriously, I didn't sing anything until a jam session was spontaneously setup in my living room on Saturday - by Charlie). We miss you, Travis, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have left behind... it will drive us forward.

Peas In A Pod (Acoustic Live)

Lyrics written by Angie Kings

Acoustic Guitar by Felipe Bonilla (DinosaurEatsMan)

Performed and recorded in the tunnel at MacArthur Park

Produced January 25, 2015 by Angie Kings in Los Angeles, California

At a Gaslamp Killer show in LA last September, I ran into a mutual friend, Emilio. I had heard him DJ before and really dug his taste in music. After learning that he produced, my instinct told me that we would collaborate. Four crazy months later, Felipe suggested we give Emilio a call. SImilar to the recent patterns, it just so happened that he had time that same afternoon. 

We arrived at Emilio's home studio in East Los Angeles and only a few hours later did I have another beautiful song to add to my collection!

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer said, "I know the right person is arriving in Divine Order at precisely the right time."

Flow with the universe, work at your craft. I am blessed to be surrounded by creative and talented people who are driven and passionate about what they do... all at the right time. I'm looking forward to more work with Emilio. 

Another great start was birthed at this session... My dear friend Felipe Bonilla dusted off his cameras and worked his magic to begin documenting this musical journey. I love his skills! I confess, there's already more where these came from. Love and light.

Staying grounded, staying aware. Hematite is my neck flare. Associated with the root shakra, hematite is an excellent stone for anxiety relief; grounding and calming, decreasing negative energy, and said to boost self confidence. At one of my first gigs, a dear friend gave me this ring made of the mineral. It’s now always on that stage with me and used for a daily balance.

Swallowed Alive

I am the woman who swallowed a fly Swallowed it whole so that it not die On its journey inside did it realize There’s such more to life than to be swallowed alive

There in the ocean, a whirlpool of lies Follow the tide, the tide, your will to survive On your journey inside will you realize There’s so much more to life than to be swallowed alive

There’s such more, there’s so much more to life

The curves of a serpent, sharp as a knife Beware the deception, the poison of mind On your journey inside you’re gonna realize There’s so much more to life than to be swallowed alive

There’s so much more, there’s so much more to life
