From vinyl crackle to cassette hiss, there’s something about the vintage sound of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s that keeps calling me back. This reggae anthem was born after a Waikiki surf session, inspired by classic tunes drifting through the air.
Lo-fi sound may stir our souls, but what we need most is a hi-fi life—faithful, devoted, and true to Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:27).
Featuring my good friend Jah Pickney, this track is filled with nostalgic reggae references and real instruments, but at its core it’s a call to live fully for our Savior.
Even if you love the lo-fi sound, may this remind you: you are called to a hi-fi life in Christ.
This song is from Christafaris Sounds of Salvation album (2025)

SONG LYRICS:
Lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
A station with no hesitation, no compromise
Lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life…
Me say we rising
Up to the top—rising
Mi tell ya say we rising
Up to di top—Mount Zion
Give me the lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
High fidelity with everything a fi mi vibe
Mi talking lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
Mind-station with no hesitation, no compromise
Di lo-fi sound—mi want di lo-fi sound
Lo-fi sound, good music coming ’round
Follow me now—lo-fi sound
Mi want di lo-fi sound
Lo-fi sound coming from Zion town
So let’s make a mixtape on an old cassette
With some Earl “Wire” Lindo on the clavinet
Rummage through dusty old record bins
Hear the pops and clicks as the turntable spins
Watch Sunsplash on a VHS
Then play Soul Fire on a compact disc
Through hi-fi speakers that’ll shake the earth
Spinning sweet reggae from before mi birth
Lord, sometimes I feel like I was born too late
Yeah, sometimes I feel I was born too late
But I’m born again
I said I’m born again
Me say we rising
Up to the top—rising
Mi tell ya say we rising
Up to di top—Mount Zion
Reggae rise to the top
This flight’s non-stop
No time to recline—say we launching up
Reggae rise pon di scene
With the ites, gold, and green
Singing fi di true King
And you know Who mi mean
Reggae rise to the top
This flight’s non-stop
No time to recline—say we launching up
Reggae rise from the ground
Singing fi di true crown
Yo take a look around—’cause it’s going down
Pull up, wait a minute
Let’s put the love of Yeshua in it
Pull up, wait a minute
Let’s bring the love of Jesus in it
Yo, sometimes I feel like I was born too late
Skillyababa
Yo, sometimes I feel like I was born too late
But I’m born again
Yeah ee-eh-eh-eh
Thank God I’m born again
Yeah ee-eh-eh-eh
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa—watch out
We ago mix it lo-fi
But live a life of high fidelity
A vintage style
With lyrics written conscientiously
Above reproach and self-controlled—ah wha we strive fi be
Guarding fiwi doctrine and theology
We ago walk with integrity of heart
And live a life that’s worthy of the calling of we Lord
So we ago read di Word of God
Say we prayers non-stop
And so we ever rising to the top
Me say we rising
Up to the top—rising
Mi tell ya say we rising
Up to di top—Mount Zion
I grew up in the 70s
Back when Soul Train it was on TV
Reggae was king—from another time
So I started to sing back in ’89
Let’s go straight back to di old school
Where Peter and Bob and Bunny ruled
Can you guess where it began first?
Every one a dem was born in di church!
Di lo-fi sound—mi want di lo-fi sound
Lo-fi sound, good music coming ’round
Follow me now—lo-fi sound
Mi want di lo-fi sound
Lo-fi sound coming from Zion town
Me say we rising
Up to the top—rising
Mi tell ya say we rising
Up to di top—Mount Zion
Give me the lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
High fidelity with everything a fi mi vibe
Mi talking lo-fi sound with a hi-fi life
Mind-station with no hesitation, no compromise
