Molasses
Molasses, or black treacle (British, for human consumption; known as molasses otherwise), is a viscous by-product of the refining of sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar. The word comes from the Proto-Indo-European mélid. Cognates include Ancient Greek μέλι (méli) (honey), Latin mel, Spanish melaza (molasses) and miel (honey), and Portuguese melaço. Molasses varies by amount of sugar, method of extraction, and age of plant.
Sweet sorghum syrup may be colloquially called "sorghum molasses" in the southern United States.
Cane molasses
Cane molasses is a common ingredient in baking and cooking.
To make molasses, sugar cane is harvested and stripped of leaves. Often the fields of cane are set on fire to burn off the leaves and drive out the snakes that seem to enjoy this habitat. Its juice is extracted usually by cutting, crushing or mashing. The juice is boiled to concentrate it, promoting sugar crystallization. The result of this first boiling is called "first syrup", and it has the highest sugar content. First syrup is usually referred to in the Southern states of the US as "cane syrup", as opposed to molasses. "Second molasses" is created from a second boiling and sugar extraction, and has a slight bitter taste.
Mike Moya
Mike Moya is a Canadian rock musician, who is one of the founding members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. He left the band in 1998 to concentrate on his other bands Molasses, Set Fire to Flames and HṚṢṬA. He was part of the live band of labelmate Elizabeth Anka Vajagic.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Together with Efrim Menuck and Mauro Pezzente, Moya formed Godspeed You! Black Emperor in the early 1990s. He contributed guitar to the band's 1997 debut album F♯A♯∞ and their follow-up EP Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada, but left the group in 1998, before the EP was released. Additionally, his vocals can be heard in the opening moments of the song "Antennas to Heaven," from the group's 2000 release Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. Moya has been participating in the band's reunion.
Other projects
After leaving Godspeed, Moya performed with a variety of other ensembles, including Molasses and Set Fire to Flames. He currently fronts the group HṚṢṬA.

Molasses
by: Down & AboveWatch as the room starts to smear baby
But don't you let it go
Don't you let it go
Wait for the smoke to start to clear baby
You're a pretty thing
Watch were you stand
Were you stand
He's a smooth one
You better watch his hand
Watch his hand
He'll tell you everything you wanna hear
You're a pretty thing
Watch were you stand
And that guy you just made eyes with maybe has a plan For a way to make a coward feel like a man
He'll tell you everything you wanna hear
You're a pretty thing
Watch were you stand
Watch as the room begins to smear baby
But don't you let it go
Don't you let it go
Wait for the smoke to start to clear baby
Before you let it go
Don't you let it go
Hey baby roll me up and look away
Drink up you'll be giving me the time of day
You're coming home with me dont walk away
Watch as the room begins to smear baby
But don't you let it go
Don't you let it go
Wait for the smoke to start to clear baby
Before you let it go
Don't you let it go
