We Don't Know Vs. 3.1 (BPM 86)

I've been experimenting a lot with found sounds around my house, store and other environments. I love collecting sounds and then building them into a composition. 

Industrialized Nation

The first track from my 2010 album 'Each Dirty Letter'. It was also used in episode 5 / series 2 of BBC3's Scottish drama 'Lip Service'.

Maybe I

Go on you can try and stop me
Go on you can take your precious time
if it makes you happy
you can speak in a dyin rhythm
transmission overhead, I read your lie
proud letters on a highway sign

said somethin about my weakness
got nothin to show for all the miles
well, I never been about the numbers
I'm lookin for a new connection
got my ear to the ground
it opens up 
hear the old songs burn and rise  

I'm goin where the hand don't hold me down
I'm gone cause the door is open
I'm feelin just a little bit closer now
Breakin out, comin up from the underground

Cut the scar from the back of my eye
I can see ahead
I can see behind
Held up by a warm horizon
Spread bright in the dim and hollow
road bends where the river ebbs and flows
I step out to the water
  
Lay back in a cool reflection
Deep mirror of the sun 
Oh my god
I'm starting to remember
This is where we begin the chorus
This is where we begin to open up
Everybody singin out loud
    
I'm goin where the hand don't hold me down
I'm gone cause the door is open
I'm feelin just a little bit closer now
Breakin out, comin up from the underground

In the forward motion
little fire growin
where the hand ain’t holdin
and I got that feelin
wide awake and believin
while the city’s sleepin

Breath heavy in my heart devotion
Run, run I'm stealin every hour
Lay awake in the dead light dreamin
My love is a constant engine
Beatin, beatin  four on the floor
Ain't nothin but a man survivin   

I'm goin where the hand don't hold me down
I'm gone cause the door is open
I'm feelin just a little bit closer now
Breakin out, comin up from the underground
