Weed and Wine REMIX

by Pi JACOBS

/

about

I wrote the original “Weed and Wine” for my acoustic album, “A Little Blue” (2017). The second I wrote it, I knew it was a profound snapshot of my early life, and I often introduce the song by saying “let’s get to know each other”.
The original version is a melancholy, nostalgic waltz. It portrays the most difficult aspects of growing up a “hippie” kid: of being radically outside of society, and the terrifying sense of “no rules”. But of course, things are never black and white, and as adults, we can look back and appreciate the nuances.
Stuck at home for the pandemic, I had a lot of time to reflect about the sweet and treasured aspects of my childhood, as well as the darkness. I was surprised to find that these opposing feelings easily coexist. I started to appreciate was a gift to spend my early years engulfed in music, theater, dance, art, nature, intellectualism, and freedom. I began to have a little gratitude for the crazy journey I’ve been on since I arrived!
This new version of “Weed and Wine” is a 4 on the floor PARTY song, but it’s more than that. It’s the healing of bonding with friends. It’s the freedom of allowing ourselves to just be. It’s the moment we realize we are a part of mother nature. Most of all, it’s the joyfulness of simply living.
There are two sides to every story. I like both sides of this one, and I hope you will too.
with love,
Pi

lyrics

Lyrics:
CHORUS
I come from the land, Of weed and wine
I pray to the gods, Of good crops and good times
I answer to mother nature, Who aint always kind
The gifts that she gives us, Lord, they get us, through the life
V1
Living is high on a farm, With Kush and cabernet
A 3-hour ride on the bus, what did you learn today?
The old man speaks physics and Nietzsche, and cleans out his gun
When the harvest comes we’ll all run out, And make hay in the sun
CHORUS
V2
It’s hard to keep the kids satisfied, With fields and fresh air
Homemade clothes, homegrown food, they know what’s out there
Well 3 months of harvest beats working, For minimum wage
Lots of folks say they will leave, but they come back to stay
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Weed and wine, weed and wine, weed and wine, weed and wine
CHORUS
