With you 03:11
He knows it’ll be a rough ride As she goes flying by Do you know if it’s all true Can’t we stop looking over All our memories shoulders So I end up here with you. La la la la La la la la With you Leaves fall at our feet Thoughts bounce down the street you know, they never knew I’ve been sliding down, until I found this life, on drifting clouds With you You caught me falling Spend another day with you Heard you calling Forgotten words, oh so true Seen you soaring So high I want to fly away by your side, take a ride With you You caught me falling Spend another day with you Heard you calling Forgotten words, oh so true Seen you soaring So high I want to fly away by your side, take a ride With you

Did you see a fantasy fall at your feet So take time to reconnect with people I the street The humbleness in smiles goes to show Some don’t know they things they should know so.. Am I wandering alone ? Then you receive a battered Mo(ped) with the name of “Tracy “ Peddle boat ride with a shining light out to the sea Do I come 3000 miles to see a sunset dream That’s not me , Can’t you see I’m just trying to reconnect reality So treading a forgotten road Community and querying minds Don’t be trapped in what you do Just leave it all behind The signs Go unnoticed in your life So make this “The Time “ Instrumental So treading a forgotten road Community and querying minds Recognisig others needs not falling into preprogrammed lines Serving all the servers that give you everything everyday Don’t be trapped in what you do Just leave it all behind The signs Go unnoticed in your life So make this “The Time “

Oh Phayam 06:14
It was love at first sight I’d never seen anything like Your jungle roads and twisting trees The smell of cashews strong and sweet The open hearts, the open doors The open sky and sea The coconuts, the rubber trees Those spirals in the sand Your moonlight shinin’ mystery Your music in my head And all these things, they made me say “I’m stayin’ one more day” ‘Cause you taught me how to love Like the open sky above And you taught me how to be You little island in the sea And you showed me who I am Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam I came back first of August The middle of the rainy days With dreams of simple living, The perfect love, and easy ways But you had other plans for me As I was soon to see Spiders big as pancakes And roaches that can fly Washin’ all my clothes by hand Three days for them to dry And there’s mold in my pillow It’s chokin’ me at night It’s shower time, the water stops There’s shampoo in my hair A wasp has built a nest of mud In my underwear My nail bed is infected But do you even care? Well, I didn’t have a clue What you were about to do You shook me up and took me down To the place where truth is found I tried to take things day by day Learnin’ all new tasks ‘Til that no-name dog that had three names Whose face was like a mask Stole our dinner, broke our plates And I broke down at last And then there were the nights When the storms came rushin’ in When we had our first fight I felt the world was cavin’ in So sure I was right, but did I Lose or did I win? Well, you taught me to let go Of the things I can’t control And you taught me what was right How to stand without a fight And you showed me who I am Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam ‘Cause, you taught me how to love Like the open sky above And you taught me how to be You little island in the sea And you showed me who I am Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam...

On a dark starry night When the moon had all its light All the flags with colours bright Stand aloft trough the sky tonight The lights that flicker across the sea Who’s playing over there ? Well its not me It’s job2do , he plays all the time And sings the songs of the island Mich more than Mine You gotta see it there today Don’t ever wait another day To join me at the beach At this time it’s going to be reality There’s no one else Just me and me The sea is ruffling crabs houses above the sand They can feel , a touch inside Of every man or woman walking In over sized 9’s Won’t you just be there with me You gotta travel across the sea To find what you and I can see in the isle This old sceptic isle That has the power to release Everything within me
5.
Somewhere over there, across the sea There’s a man creating music continuously It feel so close , yet so far away I want to badger for more every day It’s near the end but we’re not on the ropes Can I find a place to sing , will neighbours cope Daylight fills his life whilst I’m fast asleep Tomorrow I'll sing it somewhere out at sea Received Relief in me Feel Conceal Is it real ? Acoustic dreams can be ....... Open your eyes then connections flow I’ve never met this man but feel so close I’m a Cooperider gazing across to see, A man sat in his hammock sipping tea There’s snow outside , so I’ll make some flames And if it snowed in Thailand , he’d do the same A world so small brings it home to me At last we all can praise technology Receive Relief In me (give the acoustic dreams to me ) Feel Conceal Is it real ? Acoustic dreams can be Ah American dream Ah Asian dream Ah continental team Musical dreams so sweet Comments

Sat here leaving far too soon The fear taking off to a place called home The deep real connections I know Could remain if you don’t close your tomb So when you see no tomorrow That’s the time when you’re not alone So the needs of kindred souls Is how island life unfolds What am I doing here ? Finding balance between being out or in But signs point you somewhere unknown So surrender and welcome that as your home Chorus 2 So when you’re in the tomorrow All the bars of life slip away Understanding your journey Takes time you know Bridge Ooo and ahs 😜

Gig Gravity 03:43
Edge of the earth People say Natures perfected bay Tourists sit Without a care On their queen elizabeth chairs Why can’t they see Over there A shining light they all could share Everyday making them feel at home Still royal subjects hearts are stone Maybe they’ll see the beauty I have found Not buried in the ground It comes to me to say to you look around But their heads stuck in the ground Here she breaths Her smile fills the sea You can be her Feel her Then the humble perfect seed ... Will grow and match what I have found The outer things will sync within yourself Be grateful for what you’ve found

When you’re sleeping by my side I am watching over you While the fears you try to hide Gather round our room. Glimmers fleck darkened walls, Torches in the countryside, Distant trumpets call, And those old wars return to life. Though we can’t escape the blades And fears converge to overflow Together we'll contain More than either one alone. Comfort may come drifting slow, And wounds take their time to heal, But if we move into the flow, Morning light will lift the veil. When you’re sleeping by my side I am watching over you
9.
So do you want it tough ? Just when you had enough So you choose to be Anything to stop me And do I want it tough ? Let go and feel the rough Why don’t you leave me So you can be free Ooo embarrassed eyes Come and step on that pride Calm the chattering mind Close the box of imaginary fright When you failed the first You’re over the worst It’s all you can do See the light that shines above you I want it more so see Accept all that you can be Get in the moody blues Be the high by my side Ooo embarrassed eyes Come and step on that pride Calm the chattering mind Close the box of imaginary fright Here’s to the good times baby Who wants to live forever Be here to see the sunset , everyday Here’s your unwritten novel Turn the page to see the trouble Read between the lines and you’ll find Life !!!

The barn 05:17
Want you to sit up Don’t want you to hide. What to make you think I know, if I fall behind You’ll always make me shine Let’s take a ride Get out from behind Those edges they Devise and corrupt your mind Now feel alive You’ll always make me shine want to make this date With you want to create the world With you I’ll lend you my arm Sit here close to me Watching the moon floating over The barn It maybe cold Just want to hold, you Wondering how I Just want to show you now When it’s getting warmer Want to hold you closer In the darkened night Clutching your hand lets in the light want to make this date With you want to create the world With you I’ll lend you my arm Sit here close to me Watching The moon floating over The barn

I My hair’s gone wild and my clothes are wet from the sea, all I really want is another cup of tea! But they’ve brought more raki and tho I’m feeling crappy. I drink to to the sun and make myself have fun. I’ve lost my cigarettes but this time is still the best! ’m having a breakdown on the beach, but this life is pretty peach. I’m feeling loopy, feeling reckless, I’m a mess, I’m a mess. You know this time’s the best! I’m having a breakdown on the beach but this life is pretty peach. But everything is fine because we’ve got greek wine. And I know I know I know, that my troubles gonna go. Oh! I’m lying in the seaweed trying not to sink right in. Can’t be bothered to walk up the cliff but it’s scratching up my skin. I’ll have another cigarette and one more on the way. I buy a beer on the way back, but I forget to pay. My make ups across my face but it’s ok it’s ok. There’s always another day. CHORUS It’s time to dance tonight but I know I’ll look a fright. But it’s ok it’s ok as it’s just another day. We dance and sing and laugh and cry and secretly I feel quite high. But there’s it is again in my head, this crazy loopy feeling pulling like a thread. Perfection in sunsets you see. Everything is perfect, apart from my brain and me and that the kitchen gives me shocks and I keep falling down the rocks. But I laugh till I cry, could be the best way to die. There’s always another tomorrow, there’s always another way. Even though my brain is broken it works in it’s own way. Embrace the tears and fears, bathe in all your pain. Scream at the mountain and forget that you’re insane. CHORUS

Oh quiet day, its here What if I don’t want you to be this near, I know I’m not the one I trust So say to me, wake up Smell the roses of all you’ve got . then you’ll feel my love When its all too much Take me, out there Where people feel Find them, So then I won’t feel this pain That’s here again Maybe I’ll love all the same? Oh precious souls exist Seek between the narrow minds and the “shoulds” of life Its harder than you like So fly away, they say But you know its not the distance Cos I must turn to see All that’s within me Lets go out there Where we reveal Sit here We’re clear You don’t need that pain But then again… When you’re young they tell you what to do “be this or that and there’s a life for you” then you’re all boxed in what they said who recognises soul is dead? You must re-tread So space and time No set way to walk the line So I say to you Come and see my way And you’ll love me the same

Did you ever see me when i called you name? i like the way you threw that killer gaze my way Why did you always call me? Did you feel the same? I dressed you up to be the one who grew with me inside Its all life in plain sight the tortured mind uncovers might that starry night will be the time for the interactive message from my mind This trueman show fantasy isn't all i thought the things you can't forget encompass all regret so prick the balloon of truth and you all shall see when Lennon said those words "Life's what happens whilst your busy making other plans" Its all life in plain sight the tortured mind uncovers might that dream filled night can be the time for the interactive message don't ever come too close to me just accept impossibilities but i want you so close to me so i can find that rhyme and rhythm of a beautiful life Its all life in plain sight the tortured mind uncovers might that dream filled night can be the time for the interactive message of your mind its alright in here tonight for the overactive message of your mind

Theres a stone in my pocket i use to tell the truth it shines on through inside me still i don't know what to do if i release or reveal it it will forget cos all's anew so it hides undisturbed in satisfactory blue Theres a town of which i'm speaking where collective conscious hides in a box of landscape beauty that never sees the light maybe one day they'll notice there's more to life than pride then the stone will resurface and all will look inside And you can be anything that you wanted life's not meant to be a room with teachers' rules so look outside at the things far beyond it a returning chaffinch to your side can make a new reality of dreams believe It's a stone in my pocket and how can you receive say hello to the autumn rustled joy within the leaves theres a light in the box opened and nothing more repeats at the time we all notice that you'll come home to me It's a stone in my pocket and how can you receive say hello to the Winter rustled joy within the leaves theres a light in the box opened and nothing more repeats at the time we all notice that you've come home to me

about

The latest Karlos Kollective album is mostly of a melodic mellow vibe . It is a combination of 9 songs written for Feb album writing month challenge and 5 from my own January challenge as i didn't think i'd be able to write and record on my travels in Thailand.

The songs reflect my mindset whilst i was out there ranging from fear of coming home, the mindset of travellers, the contrast between westerners on their travels and locals and much more.

There also features 7 collaborations done in thailand and the UK with people from around the world in different world locations whilst I was in Thailand.

I hope the songs resonate with people . Sometimes for us a musicians it is a vehicle to release some real truths within the music but overall if just one person can find something which resonates within them, then i am a happy songwriter.

Thank you all for all your support and encouragement. It really means a lot
