Falling 03:33
Parliament bells a lie to tell for you to read you ain't got me A school club of greed We'll sneer down our toff nose at your needs you don't want me We have something more to bring We're still here when your bell rings Brandy chinks with more denying fat cigars and all the lying In this world there's no more hiding you 1 percent will hear us crying proud The power or truth is loud So hear the collective now The blackbird sings its broken wings will make you fly all night Observe reality as it is and coexist They'll have more of love to bring We are here so here us sing Youn don't want it but time won't stop it all Falling

People running around People living in clouds See straight through their normal dreams as not reality now Cos they want it yeah they want it but they're living in clouds People rushing around backwards rolling around they want through to another scene that isn't happening now Cos they want it yeah they want it and they're living in clouds People running aground mind exhasted somehow dreams the played on a different reel that is reality now and they want it yeah they want it are they living in clouds cos they want it yeah they want it are we living in clouds? People shouting aloud they stopped running around finding freedom through all the tears is bringing peace to them now Now they got it Do they want it? They're still living in clouds Now you got it Do you want it? You're still living in clouds

So far away, another world today So far away, is your world the same? There comes a time for me to be humble at your feel hearind all about your heart from afar Makes it complete So we battle what people think life's conformities can leave us on our own But a time will come you'll see where all will thank in need your time, your mind So kind Thinking of others needs sewing all your seeds for a time (oh my) the magic of a place where we came face to face for a moment meant to be so we all could feel the wheels of your soul and of your life pass by Travelling the world seeking all the words to feel (for real) Staying true to yourself so all of us can see that we all can live as one The bell of change has rung

I’ve felt the twists and turns of the knife I’ve known the angst and grief of this life I am mad I am wild I have come unglued All i know is I am mad about you mad about you I’ve lived the loss and hurt of the poor I’ve licked my blood and tears off the floor I am crazed I am savage I have come unscrewed All i know is I am mad about you Now i'm mad Mad about you... yeah my love is out of control and I want you to know…. ohh…ohhh…ohhh… what you do to me… I'm mad about you I’ve fallen down dark dangerous paths searching for truth but I am no fool I’ve climbed up steep perilous cliffs searching for light but that is alright because on my way x2 I found you… Now I am mad…X4 I am mad about you….X4 Don't you know that i am Mad about you mad about you mad about you mad about you I'm mad about you

You live alone on city streets Nothing to fear, just sleep and eats Outside your world there’s new problems Where is my mask am I exposed?? Are you in me? Corona V it felt like you’re getting me Divert your mind All through the TV What’s going on there behind the scenes? Diversion rods show a path unseen Are you in me? Corona V it felt like you’re getting me Divert your mind All through the TV Just be here so we can tear this bullshit down So we can see it as some toffs agenda What the hell’s going on?? So what’s worse flu or poverty? Believe the hype and grow your fat fear seed Are Pixels altering my mind, Say what’s going on? Do we want robots in our life, Say what’s going on? The information’s killing brain cells, what’s going on? So turn it off and be here now, that’s not Fucking wrong What can we do and what do we need Relax the mind connect with communities So we all can see That we’re allowed to think free And don’t believe all you read

Gratitude 04:11
Imagine weekends nothing to do they will celebrate but you will feel blue and you still go on Walking round just to see a face people hidden without a trace, what do i do? you still go on when you call me name i say good day to you its what i do I will mask a pain of days without a bond they'll never know that anything is wrong yet you still go on A cafe seat in the late afternoon a robin perches and feels my tune you'll find i can be strong Dropping the mask and feeling thanks for little things that make us dance, one life in the blink of an eye so imagine a life of being here but rarely seen trying to converse with a screen So be thankful to those you've got around remember all those people who haven't found the things taken for granted by those who live with touch it may not seem much so dear lord i'm giving thanks just to have been put in a situation that made me see the beauty in a hug or eyes that feel must be something we all do need its magical from birth's seed so teach to those who can't see Being alone isn't true reach out to those who hide the truth They will need both you and me
7.
Sitting here all alone vibrations in every bone rivers of conscience all around each day Everyone knows your name seeing your not the same what is this life outside a prisoned mind? how did it even come to this? accepting a life devoid of bliss Lay your soul on me feel the depth in me there's always paths of beauty in our lives through swathers of fog we see eventually the path of truth Always reveals the key to the real me Anxiety sits in the white lies release them all and feel alive Lay your soul on me feel the depth in me there's always paths of beauty in our lives through swathers of fog we see eventually the path of truth Always reveals the key to the real me
8.
When you said someone else could be your friend but the sky was tainted black could it be the one man trap? so i confess there was love aligned with pain do we suffer see her eyes and will you bleed more once we felt truth how can we release it would be find out we were right this time through all dark nights Push little flower and let go the fountain of love will help you grow cast off the shackles we all know spread your wings and we will show The face of the world is there to see away from this insanity nothing to say where will we go cos it will all come to us i know nothing to say when we both go it will all come to us i know With no more fear we let us shed our tears you'l be forever my always my heart when far apart Feel my song
9.
So come home with me We'll share in what we read and we'll be fine, just fine Into the countryside with me we'll dance between the leaves and we'll be fine, so fine Go ahead and close your eyes the freedom you can find beyond skin deep, don't weep love is like a flower seen different branches all set free Allowed to grow we know Walking on an open road temptations lay in every stone looking down consumed its all around So look up to the sky and see the space for life that's been bequeathed to every living soul al around Open to those doors and you'll be found If we play hide and seek and you hide inside my heart i will find you i will find you when the voice of life in me reaches the ear of life in you We're entwined, so fine What does love embrace you see each other claimed for our own keep? Instead its in the space that lies between So let go as your time is slim and feel those energies within embrace it all as a whole part of life The power of unknown is shining bright All our life so don't try feel your pain slip on by go and cry if you like inner you keeps shining bright

Lead a Horse 03:24
I got a friend his name is Jake He always makes the same mistakes He never listens to a single word I say It makes me wanna give him a shake Relax and let that poor man go He’s gotta work it out on his own ‘Cause if he ain’t ready all the wisdom in the world Ain’t gonna make him know You can lead a horse to the riverside But you can't make it drink Even if you know just what he needs He's just gonna do what he damn well think Oh, I got a friend her name is Bess Her life is a red hot mess But every time she asks me for a bit of advice I feel like I’m wasting my breath You know, your friend Bess is a classic case Sayin’ that she wants a change But deep on down inside she kinda like it that way So she don’t hear a word you say You can lead a horse to the riverside But you can't make it drink Even though she knows what you said is true She’s just gonna do what she damn well do You can lead a horse to the riverside But you can't make it drink Even if you know just what he needs He's just gonna do what he damn well think You can lead a horse to the riverside But you can't make it drink Even though she knows what you said is true She’s just gonna do what she damn well do

Reach out 04:28
When the wind is so high the sea shining bright sail away on the breeze till morning light THe whispering clouds drift gently to paint a wholesome portrait of earth we all can take Hidden wawy, despair grows suffering streets, dark hedgerows distorted skies, misaligned we know hear the cries , eternal black holes no one knows each battle in the mind See the smiles protecting all inside so reach out when all becomes a fight and you'll watch the broken times pass by Let it all fall apart at the start time and time again each trip is learning without yearning to be as another just a wandering soul So reach out So to the kids, encourage not critisize fill their wings with hope so they can fly let them sing their element in life and then you'll find a society shared in kind
12.
There one day with all words been said nothing but eyes to receive A look profound felt with no sound a beauty that lies beneath and this cruel world isn't cruel anymore when one glimpse with hearts says it all so we wait no more no words we know the score sharing will keep in the soul of the deep forevermore
13.
Why was all that pain in me? Why are you on this train with me? Why can't we stay in a dream when i call your name?? It was a time, in a castle so fine Where you wore a green silk dress you said to me, you're here to please and i melted to the ground A fire inside sustained our world The flames that burned can't be released so recognising all those seeds Meant we can lookk outside and see a vast plain to fulfill our needs Thats why all the pain was in me thats why you were on this train with me we can always stay in a dream we know is true me and you
14.
There is a darkened scene Woken from your dream flashing lights and screams are all around You feel like you won't live Is this really it? Have words expired when like minds bomb your home? But its ok cos there's daylight just another infight waking in my mind ther streets still echo to the hum of morning life i'll face inner struggles and feel into my song Go to sleep tomorrow, Is my world Ok? Verse 2 Another darkened scene Now this can't be a dream flashing lights and screams are in my house Chorus 2 And now there is no daylight the overwhelming fear makes senses stand alert The streets now echo to the sound of tanks and guns Can i face this outer battle Now i'm on my own I can feel whats going on but is our world ok? Bridge The art of words dissolved have clearly now made way what can we teach our kids, if all is resolved this way? Chorus 3 So i'm looking down from heaven's ground to see what's down below A spinning ball of life perched on the precipise maybe one day they'll learn what they've always known connect together and you'll all see earth, As home its our only home don't go wrong be as one feel my bones
15.
Is it the end of a time No more reaons or rhymes is is the end of a time for us the pain seen, but not heard Is there room to be shown when someone's ship goes alone every place you have grown with me means i know we know there's a place to go Walk through secret forests to see where it could be Walk on down this path with me There'll you'll find a house of depths undefined Somewhere in kind We're entwined All the questions of worth Is there still magic in words? reflecting truth through the eyes of us can only work between a caring ear to reach Safe inside a known place where two hearts can meet Accept moments and then feel release Hear the universe cry, that light shines so bright A place in the mind ooo a place where we find We're entwined two likened minds with that special bond, still being kind You'll be mine

about

"Sometimes it appears so simple to live in this world and other times it seems more complicated than at any time in history. Well in some ways I feel it is . The things that make our lives easier have also made our lives harder to a certain extent. Why are we struggling so much in a world with social anxiety, teenage depression, and hidden inner conflict, with so much technology, instant communication, and intelligent beings? Well maybe we've forgotten that the simple in things in life and our own true nature have been suppressed somewhat , where as those things should be higher up our priority list on a daily basis than the more complex, and the false pressures of what we’re told will bring happiness
. In this album i am accepting vulnerability as a superpower and highlighting my own failings as a human as well as all the emotions we all encompass when we see a society breaking down, whilst trying to step back and find a path back to those simple things that maybe could make all our lives more content and beautiful to live in, recognising that so much of our inner conflict is reflected into the outer world but also with hope knowing that most of that is conditioning and isn’t our true inner essence. After all life is a gift, it is very fragile and doesn’t last long and . Isn't it time we all did a bit of re evaluating and started to embrace more of our own true essence, everyday creativity, acceptance of our flaws, and look at the beauties in being vulnerable in a world that more than ever, needs community , sharing, love and a whole load of unlearning. So I hope this album fills you with some hope, some joy, some tears and maybe even some reflection ………………along with plenty of sing-alongs of course ;-)"


Huge thanks love and so much more to the incredible musicians/friends who made this album possible. Most especially to Liz, Natalie, Rob and John for collaborating on those very special songs which make the album complete.
