about

Rosko has been recording and writing music since the age of twelve and was originally inspired by the psychedelic sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin. Later influences, like The Velvet Underground, helped influence the composition of this tune in 2012.

Over the following years Rosko has always ended his shows with this dazzling, ripping jam and decided it fit into the context of this live and uncut album.

This version compiles two takes from the basement band rehearsals, 2015, retaining the live guitar and drums. Rosko overdubbed the vocals, organ and bass later on, being sure not to edit, or take away from the brutal rawness of this lysergic surge of sound.

lyrics

Great Mother's milk, can you read my mind?
Great Mother's milk; gonna take that sacrifice.

High, high, high...

If I want you, I can have you.
If I want you, I will have you.

High, high, high
Low, low, low
High, high, high.

Great Mother's Milk in my mind.
I am tired all the time.

In the garden, in the forest,
Drink my seed and you will love it

High, high, high
Low, low, low
High, high, high
Low, low, low.

Great Mother's Milk in my mind.
I am tired all the time.
