The rays of the afternoon They say it will be over soon For everything, everything must pass Even this Time flies by as he speaks Day five of the working week And everyone, yeah everyone is tired Even he And all you people you have got your place Well it’s not a competition, it’s a race The winners, they are winners And the losers try again As he’s cruising, bruising The world’s so confusing But he’s fine The breeze of the evening sun Release for the final run The words are there, the words are there He has to care, still has to care For one more hour of his precious time The time so close to the finish line Just one more click, just one more send And he’s so close to the end Just one more thing he has to say Until he can call it a day And the more he reads the less he understands But the end is drawing near it’s right at hand And the losers, they’re all losers! And the winners win again, oh As he’s sailing, wailing The world’s derailing But he’s fine All time is dear, the gate is clear What does he hear, what does he hear? It’s cheering, inside his head it’s cheering. He’s heading out, he has no doubt He’s got it all worked out Let’s beering, everybody let’s beering He’d love to stick around but hey Things they’re not about to change Erratic, and he’s pragmatic He’s leaving all of us behind In a moment he’ll unwind Ecstatic, and while we’re static He feels good The speed, the hair, the wind, the air The sense of being just anywhere Delighted, and excited And in the lightness of the now He knows the where, he knows the how He’s knighted, invited To the feast to celebrate End of the beast, end of all hate He’s serious, absolutely serious A better day a better night Dance away, go for a ride Delirious, no it’s not devious, no Friday’s good

Win 03:45
Why are you so sad, boy? The world lies at your feet Is it so bad, boy? What else do you need? You’ve got a place, well You can be yourself It’s a disgrace, yeah Somebody might help you understand New score, changing every day Is it a true, score? No matter what you say It’s just your fantasy Your discontent, entitlement A fallacy Remember that you’re not the only All your love You can do much better than this All your love Let it guide you All your love Whenever you feel that something’s amiss All your love Let it assure you, comfort you Let it all in And then you’ll Then you’ll win All your love You can do much better than this All your love Let it define you All your love Whenever you see that something’s amiss All your love Let it embrace you, comfort you Let it all in And then, maybe, hopefully, probably, you might as well just give it a go You’ll win

For Real 07:16
Brains and thoughts, revolving screens News reports that turn to screams That’s where it is, the state of affairs Real dangers largely overlooked Because of scarecrows made by crooks Looking for help, well, nobody cares Don’t mention the war, the story so far Don’t mention the war, the story so far Don’t mention the war, the story so far Till you believe that there’s no other side The gap between us is so wide Am I fooling myself, well, time's gonna tell Down with them all, wherever they are Down with them all, wherever they are Down with them all, whoever they are Till you accept that the apocalypse Lies beneath your fingertips and Roll and roll and roll and scroll and scroll and scroll and roll and scroll and scroll and

Look 03:19
Just a snippet, just a starlet Just a light to lead me through Through that path that’s going to All the things I knew Just a reminder, not a rewinder Just a new idea, just a clue Where the rivers went And icebergs floated to As they do Won’t you take a look around Take a look around It’s all in sight Outside your walls there is life Take a look around Just take a look around It’s all out there No, it hasn’t gone anywhere Take a look around Just take a look around If you’re jaded, you feel defeated If you’re weary, if you’re bored If you’re not fighting anymore What was the fighting for? If you’re crying, time’s flying Breath the air that flows outside your door Go explore You can always go for more Like you did before Won’t you take a look around Take a look around It’s all out there And it’s there for all of us who care Take a look around Just take a look around It’s all too clear Bad and far, good and near Take a look around Just take a look around I was looking, never finding And then I realised That if I just turned my head It was right before my eyes

The Great 11:22
Alone, afraid, abandoned With little time or space Appalled, outraged, saddened Aloof, unmoved, replaced Almighty and all knowing Accountable, as if Authority, minority Assurance of stability Alone, afraid, but not alone Afraid, alone, but not afraid Appalled, outraged, but not alone Outraged, appalled, but not afraid Appalled, alone, but not afraid Afraid, outraged, but not alone Afraid, appalled, but not alone Appalled, outraged, but not afraid, oh no Through all the robbery and all the cheating And all those lying to you Through all the robbery and all the cheating And all those lying to you All the cheating, take a beating If you don’t say what they want You know what they want All the cheating, gonna take a beating If you don’t say what they want You know what they want Oh yeah Through all the thuggery and all the stealing Nothing back to you Through all the thuggery and all the stealing Nothing back to you All the stealing, do you getting that feeling You wanna cover the world with shards Millions of shards? All the stealing, do you ever getting that feeling You wanna cover the world with shards Billions of shards? Oh yeah

To Be 05:13
There isn’t really much more than this Than the dust, than the clouds Speed of light, travelling To the furthest horizons of galaxies Where the human eye can’t see Will the human mind believe That there’s a Bright light in the sky, a touch of eternity It leaps, plunges, it flies, the only true deity And I don’t know, I don’t know, I just Read in the distance, the empty waves All the rays, all the spheres Far beyond what we possibly can Understand, we just complicate Far away, over there In this time, in this moment There’s a Bright light in the sky, the road to serenity It sparks, leads us, it shines, it has its own gravity And I don’t know how to find But I’ll keep surely looking for The sound, warm and so strong A natural symphony The world’s beautiful song The only true harmony And I don’t want, I don’t need, I just Say who you are Where you’re from What you do Where you live Who you love Where you go What you know How you breathe How you walk How you like To be

This bloody train, where is it taking me? Am I in pain, or is it making me Just move ahead? The black and red That helps me struggle through Ward off the greedy eyes of Swines that we’re all dying for Time after time, unless we find a cure Don’t let it go In the unknown This vehicle just won’t stop Until there’s a change of guards And I, I’ll be sitting here With a can of brew and a good book Doing my education, avoiding any escalation No, this isn’t pleasure loving It’s more like we all know what’s coming Can’t stop the run (ha, ha) Stop the fun This carriage is taking us Through fields and cityscapes And I, I’ll be sitting here Watching how the days go by Sure in my reservation, free from any speculation And it’s all worthwhile Oh yeah, what a ride How long is this journey gonna take? And I, I’ll be sitting Watching how the seasons change Still not in my destination, enjoying my isolation And we’ll all have such a blast When we get there at last This journey might never end

about

This Journey is an eclectic collection of tunes with influences varying from funk to ambient music. Its sounds are sometimes humorous and joyful, sometimes industrial and sombre. Listening to the songs is a voyage through all sorts of musical expression, whether that be playful kaval improvisation, distorted bass or a wide range of creative instrumental and vocal arrangements. With cautiously optimistic lyrics about social change and the meaningfulness of pursuing success, this self-produced album offers something to everyone interested in innovative and boundary-pushing music.
