The Secret Garden

Take your shot, aim at me
Is that all that you’ve got?
It’s my path, I won’t be quiet
Don’t think you’ll have the last laugh

Show your teeth
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
I plead
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
I plead

What lies beneath, behind the smile
Depends upon your belief
The short release when breathing fire
The torment that this brings won’t cease 

Show your teeth
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
I plead
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
I plead

This paranoia’s driving me insane
I wish that I could turn it off
I’m triggered when there’s no-one else around
Shouting at myself I’m lost

Get a grip, compose yourself
Do not let your mind slip
This anger leads towards the dark
The hate’s a cycle that it breeds

Show your teeth
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
I plead
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
Show your teeth
I plead

I have to lead by example now
Remind myself I have to breathe
The hollow lie I always told myself
To keep it all inside and see
I wish I didn’t have to feel this way
Inside I shake but still feel numb
I just can’t regulate my thoughts and fears
I’m tired now, fuck it, I’m done!

Show Your Teeth

Photo by Stablecog AI

Puts me in mind of when I bought my first reflector telescope.
I actually watched some kind of craft take off and head into the sky
as it slowed to a stop against the star field and faded to deep red...
then vanished.

Don't look too close...
The AI thinks you need to merge your head into the optical tube
to get the best view,
and don't be shocked that our young astronomer
only has 3 legs.

Stargazing

On My Mind

This track concludes the series of Lidar Waves. At least for now...

This song began its life in Poland, where our resident surf rock specialist, Artur, composed it on his giutar. He is a brilliant composer and expert player, so we're always glad to receive music from him.

Artur gave it to JJ to start the project, so JJ was first to the trough here, adding his breathy, moving organ and envelope synth throughout. Ken came along shorly after to give the song its heartbeat, adding his triumphant drums. As soon as he had a beat to play to, Josh added his four string fretless bass to the mix, completing the rhythm section.

Now it was the other guitarists turn to take a whack at it. Tez was first up, adding the magical the first and third solos, in the verse sections. He also lit up the intro and outro sections with some dynamic guitar solos, as well. Stephen went last, filling in the second and fourth solo sections in the choruses, as well as a textural guitar that you hear through most of the song. He also added the exotic sitar you hear in about the middle.

Once we had it in the bag, we asked Stephen to produce it for us, which he did in his always trained, professional manner.

This is the eighth song we've done with Artur over the past about year and a half. We adore his music and him as a person, too. If you dig this song, you should hop over to his page and have a listen in case you're not already familiar. He loves surf music, and wanted to note the passing of surf rock legend, Brian Wilson this week. Wilson was more than just Pet Sounds, although that album is top class. He was a surf rock pioneer, who influenced a whole genre of music; a genre that's near and dear to Artur's heart.

We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Surfers Like Us:
We all live between Sun and Moon
Love and Peace
That's all what we do

The Enchanted Hour

Some Heaven. (Feat: Lioness Pinky🦁

OF COURSE Is a tender, introspective track that explores the quiet conversations we have with ourselves when no one else is listening. With airy synths, gentle guitar strums, and a voice that floats like a whispered confession, the song drifts through themes of longing, quiet ambition, and the delicate line between hope and disillusionment.
