From the recording Pura Vida (1992 TED)
While exploring the Tesla/Edison universe, the Quantum Listener team discovered the soulful reggae ode "Pura Vida," a celebration of decentralized and uncensored social media. The lyrics depict a world free from corporate giants like Zuckerberg and Musk, where users enjoy true liberty in sharing their thoughts and connecting with others. "Pura Vida" embodies the spirit of freedom and community, highlighting the joy and peace found in a decentralized digital realm. This track serves as an anthem for a future where social media is a pure, unfiltered reflection of individual expression and collective harmony.
Lyrics
Good morning, Jah frens!
We the Noster freaks, living spook-free
No Zuck, no Musk, just pure liberty
Notes flow like wine in that island breeze
Freedom on the screens feel that rasta ease
Purple life, Pura Vida way to be
No corporations Jah, you and me
Purple life, let that feeling rise
Freedom in our hands, check out how we thrive
Jah Libertad
No Leader, hear our voices sing
In a purple world, Jah freedom's king
Free thoughts, your speech, all yours to share
No spying lies, just open air
Purple life, Pura Vida way to be
No corporations Jah, you and me
Purple life, let that feeling rise
Freedom in our hands, check out how we thrive
Jah Libertad
Jah Libertad
No Leader, hear our voices sing
In a purple world, Jah freedom's king
Free thoughts, your speech, all yours to share
No spying lies, just open air
Jah Rastafari
Join Jah movement, embrace the light
In this new bird world, everything’s bright
Purple skies and island vibes
Together we rise, living our lives
Break the chains let your spirit fly
In this purple world reach for the sky
No data mine, no hidden cost
In Jah realm of freedom, Jah never be lost
Purple life, Pura Vida way to be
No corporations Jah, you and me
Purple life, let that feeling rise
Freedom in our hands, check out how we thrive
Jah libertad
Purple life, forever free
Join Jah movement and you'll see
Purple life, let your voice be heard
In this dance of freedom spread Jah word
Jah libertad
