A Playlist

This song speaks of hope and the importance of loved ones, especially when the world shows its dark side. 
I guess this single can be classified mainly as alternative rock/ singer-songwriter.
It has been recorded, mixed and mastered in February 2022 at Rare Elements’ own studio in Tampere, Finland.
The song has been composed, written and arranged by Harri Sarpavaara. He plays all instruments and sings on the single. He has also recorded, mixed and mastered this single.

If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Hold out, it's running down my back
What I stand for in myself, I'm feeling under attack
On the edge now, on the edge now
Shut down, the peace inside of me
Inner self is all but here, it's not a pleasant scene
You see now? You see now
----------------------------------------------------
Drifting, further out
Away from your vibes that you're putting out
The bad energy, it flows
Stuck out in the storm
Caught in the rampage that you have poured on
Me now, me now
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Prides gone from the way
You always beat me down and you do it again
I said high strung, the games you play
I always get back up just to do it again
----------------------------------------------------
Now I'm seeking solace
Inner thoughts, provoking words, I need some self defense
Secure, how? Secure, how?
Tasteless, the way you do me wrong
In myself, I'm all but here, oh yeah, I'm fucking gone
A ghost cloud, a ghost cloud
----------------------------------------------------
Drifting, further out
Away from your vibes that you're putting out
The bad energy, it flows
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Prides gone from the way
You always beat me down and you do it again
I said high strung, the games you play
I always get back up just to do it again

"Lost" is a joint effort with Tainted Icarus (@taintedicarus, check out his stuff!), a good friend of mine I've made over these past few weeks while working on this and "The Tear Remix". As much as he may not want to take enough of his due credit for it, this is his baby, and I'm just the catalyst that started it on the path to the finish line. These lyrics came to me making coffee one morning, and even before I knew how to structure them within the music, I jotted this down in about ten mins. It is hands down the most rewarding poem/set of lyrics I have ever written.

At some point or another, we all know this feeling...to be lost. Whether it's from confusion, doubt, or just misunderstanding, to live this life is to find one's self lost at some point or another. Sometimes, you just want to leave and lose yourself. The premise here is pretty basic. A man (or woman for that matter) essentially goes on a walk and never comes back.

When I've left this world behind me
Don't you even try to find me
Maybe I've made it to the coast
Found myself a boat
And set out on the open sea

When I've left it all behind me
Don't you dare try to remind me
Maybe I found myself a book
Took a good long hard look
And then found a fantasy

If you find the crack at all
When you open up the hole 
What you thought was so small
Has taken complete control
It's different for you and me
When you find you're lost and gone
You escape this dream, and then you see
You were always lost all along

When I've left this world behind me
Stopped letting the rut bind me
Maybe I walked into the woods
Left my loved ones for good 
Found solitude with the trees

When I've lost my sanity 
At that point where I just cracked
You know I never even knew 
All the things that I could do
I am never coming back

When I've left it all behind me 
Don't you even try to find me
I may be lost deep in the woods
Or be dead and gone for good
Maybe one day you'll see
One day you'll see
See!

Whatever you Say

Whatever You Say

Beastwars are the result of a barbaric and brutal world sliding into the abyss. When we see war and disaster surrounding us on all sides. When half-truths and hidden agendas lurk behind every act of the world’s eroding empires. And when all these things are channelled into righteous and commanding music.

 Music that embodies the apocalyptic feeling of these end times - primal, hypnotic, and just plain fucking heavy. The fire and the fury acknowledge gloomy futures while simultaneously offering a temporary escape from our grim present.

 On this, their first record, Beastwars distil all these things into a sequence of songs that unfolds like the most of hellish of headlines. Kill the volume on the stream of airstrikes, calamities and mankind’s meltdowns rolling across your television screen and you’ll discover the band’s heavy howls create an eerily apocalyptic soundtrack to the events of the day.

 There are familiar elements in what Beastwars do - this is the sound of four people with lungs, guitars and drums after all. You can throw names like The Jesus Lizard, Black Sabbath and Kyuss around, but that doesn’t entirely sum things up. This is metal of mettle born from the most bestial characteristics.

 The word’s been getting out about the potency of their live shows - something Beastwars have captured on record in heightened fidelity.

 This is the product of two very different environments. Recorded with Dale Cotton (HDU, Dimmer, Die! Die! Die!) in four and half of the greyest Dunedin winter days before being sent to sunny California to be mastered by John Golden (Melvins, Sonic Youth, Faith No More, High on Fire). This untitled debut displays an instinct for furious moods and doom-laden dynamics.

 The music is wrapped in the mind-melting artwork of Weta Workshop conceptual designer Nick Keller. Keller has lent his vision to Narnia, Avatar and The Hobbit and now, for Beastwars, has created imagery so otherworldly it perfectly reflects the music within. His two huge oil paintings presented on gatefold vinyl give the listener something tangible to clutch as the music inside threatens to take you to the world it depicts.

 Beastwars is released on LP, CD and Digitally Monday 9th May 2011 through Destroy Records. The band will be playing shows throughout New Zealand in May.
