Musical Truth: A Musical History of Modern Black Britain in 28 Songs

Product Information

Pupils could create their own “musical truths”– projects that combine music to define their place and space in the world, and words to capture their voice in society. Crucially, Volume 2 reminds readers of how the music industry’s activities form only one small part of what’s really going on in this reality, and how the power to bring it all to an end lies with us and us alone. It always has. We’ve just been programmed to forget. TSOF has reached its first decade landmark! From humble beginnings as a show on the doomed The People’s Voice network in October 2013, it has survived the past ten years as pretty much THE only consistent showcase of empowering truth and freedom music for these times. public Wi-Fi - this extends to the majority of our public spaces including the Reading Rooms, as well as our study desks and galleries at St Pancras (you won't require a login) For anyone who has found value in my work and would like to make a donation towards it being able to continue, you can do so at Buy Me A Coffee here:

Thanks to the Musical Truth "Playlist", I rediscovered music I'd heard before but not known the artist or title of. I also discovered completely new songs, artists and genres of music. There were a few I already knew well, but not that many. I definitely enjoyed every song mentioned. A crime thriller set during a time of great cultural change, (the last days of Thatcherism, the Poll Tax riots, the fall of Communism, the first Gulf War, Acid House and Rave culture,) gets taken to uncharted territories through allegory and metaphor, and the narrative’s interplay with spiritual teachings. As such, The Cause & The Cure can be read on many different levels, according to the reader’s own consciousness. It must be wonderful for those kids in East Yorkshire who have Jeffrey Boakye as a teacher. That comes across very clearly in this book - Boakye is a teacher, through and through. He simplifies but never talks down. He has a way of talking about a subject so passionately that you suddenly feel passionate about it too. That's a real skill, and Boakye has managed to capture it on paper with this book. All of our upcoming public events and our St Pancras building tours are going ahead. Read our latest blog post about planned events for more information. The book ends on an inspirational note, revealing some spiritual and metaphysical truths that have been hidden from humanity for so long, but which, it turns out, a handful of visionary songwriters seem to have cryptically encoded into their songs.

Good Vibrations

Young people need to be able to honestly express their fears and their thoughts and their reactions. And as a teacher you can’t just leave that to random chat in the playground—you actually have to create spaces where you can talk about these things” We can’t really complain about things like ‘Of Mice and Men’ being read in schools with teachers/students being given a pass to say the n word if we’re going to introduce books like this into schools and continue to perpetuate these oppressive narratives. Now imagine you have some friends that are entitled to the same lustrous and perverted world as you. Over time, you guys begin to feel truly different from normal humans. In fact, you create your own private religion based on materialism, carnal desire and a truly twisted sense of spirituality. You call it Luciferarianism. You praise darkness because you and your ilk, in a sense, exist in darkness. After all, among the hordes, very few even know you exist. Over time, you and your friends begin to cultivate a level of paranoia that you believe is healthy; it keeps you on your toes, looking out for any of the minions that might be getting wise to you and your gang and your disturbing reality - the reality you love. Your paranoia grows. Despite your efforts, more and more from the unwashed mass are figuring out your game. Musical Truth is the culmination of Mark Devlin’s five years’ of research into the true nature of the industry and its objectives –from dark occult rituals, to mind-controlled artists, and all points in between. The book shows how these agendas fit into the much wider picture of what’s really going on in the world, and – crucially – how the power lies with us to bring it to an end. Imagine you are a psychopath for a minute (for one out of ten of us, no imagination is needed). Now imagine you have a lifestyle beyond wealth and recognizable luxury. You live in a reality where you have access to technology and information that very few are privy to. You are truly special among billions. You pay servants (corporate CEOs, Managers, etc...) of all sorts to carry out all of your directives (money is irrelevant to you because you have the power to create money). Alongside your servants you have real slaves that you like having around just because you can; and sometimes you use them for sex or simply torture them to death because those things thrill you. Of course, many of them are children.

I learned so, so much reading this book. Right from the outset, Boakye reintroduced me to the British Empire and shared a history which I felt pretty ashamed not to know nearly as well as I had thought. Then, progressively, song by song Boakye brings you from 1948 to 2020.The ‘Freedom’ part is a bit of a misnomer in current circumstances, but here’s the latest instalment anyway. The Sound of Freedom is Mark Devlin’s regular showcase of conscious music. Its content stands as the very antithesis of the dumbed-down, spirit-crushing output of the corporate industry, instead giving airtime to meaningful message-music, from free-spirited and wildly creative artists. Besides offerings from the hip-hop, reggae and soulful groove genres, each show includes the Truth Trip – songs from decades past whose lyrics remain as potent today as on the day they were first written.

These chapters are punctuated by a new feature – Sound Bites – an array of short stories concerning well-known music-makers which further reinforce the assertions made in previous volumes.I’ve left TSON in the very capable hands of guest host Andy Spencer for a couple of weekends while I’m away on my Australian trip. Here’s the first of his shows with a top notch tune selection.

When words fail, music speaks. Pure positive vibrations from the lyrics and overall feel of these powerful tunes. I hope listeners get as much inspiration from these multi-generational songs as I have in these past few months. It’s an emotional journey. Personal experiences lived through music often possess a powerful and universal resonance that isn’t always replicated in prose or photography. I often listen to “Musical Youth”, a segment in Trevor Nelson’s Rhythm Nation, in which people describe pivotal points in their life through a song. Even if it’s not a familiar artist or favourite song, the combination of words and period music always seem to evoke technicolour flashes of that time. I have always known music is a great tool to bring people of different communities together and the author Jeffrey Boakye articulates this perfectly. This volume focuses on the way the entertainment industry’s owned assets were used to help push the official narrative of the “Co(n)vid 19” Scamdemic, (which has been rightly described as “The Greatest Scam Ever Perpetrated Upon Mankind.”) So many beloved musicians showed their true colours in helping to push the lies and bad science which paved the way for the tyranny and human enslavement that was always planned to be applied in its wake.Compiled by Mark Devlin, this two hour sonic journey brings the TCATC story to life with a selection of the music that was around during the book’s timeframe, and interspersed with news footage, radio station recordings and other relevant snippets.
