lyrics: 
growing up we stayed here every year
those days disappeared in the rearview mirror 
different stage and this timeline is pretty strange 
used to have the run of this place
on the cliffs where people used to meet over spliffs 
now they’re standoffish and they don’t say hey 
yeah i know, i know shouldn’t ruminate
reminisce and staring off into space
we’re okay now i guess but

things around here never really feel quite the same 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here tend to feel a little bit more tame 
we’re okay now i guess but
most people left here are pretty nice but kinda lame 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here never really feel quite the same

bought a van
took a chance out in the promiseland
some things don’t pan out like the way we plan 
people make all their comments
act like they deserve a hand
just too bad they can’t understand
without you up here with us, hard to have fun
never a burden to anyone
yeah you wanted to leave you were trying to stay 
now it's photographs and dying bouquets
we’re okay now i guess but

things around here never really feel quite the same 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here tend to feel a little bit more tame 
we’re okay now i guess but
most people left here are pretty nice but kinda lame 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here never really feel quite the same

moving on can’t say it's easy when you're gone 
patiently waiting here for the dawn
sounds cliché but it's true when they say
the best of us are taken away
we’re okay now i guess but

things around here never really feel quite the same 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here tend to feel a little bit more tame 
we’re okay now i guess but
most people left here are pretty nice but kinda lame 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here never really feel quite the same

Things Around Here Will Never Be The Same

Your Love

Your Love (Edit)

Perhaps it was 2007, I started a moleskine as I have done for centuries, but this time without writing any dates, and mostly consisting of drawings. It was the year I first conceived Dream Society, graduated from art school, became self employed, lived in Battersea in a house with green walls, somewhere in a world beyond time and space; spending hours writing the most extravagant colourful websites using only a text editor, creating experimental films in which I cut out each frame by hand, making music with house hold objects and discovering a world of books that opened my mind and being to infinite possibilities, pondering about the nature of reality, consciousness and existence. My pals and I would go to the supermarket at 2:45am; I wrote songs on an old ships piano I had to tune anew every day, and a harmonium in the key of not-quite-Bb. 

Sometimes I had visions, like lucid daydreams, or frames of future memories: I once saw myself in a flowery dressing gown, writing books, in a flat with green walls in Amsterdam.  Another one had me play on Top of the Pops. Now wouldn’t that be funny, I thought. Sometimes a song would appear like that. Like this melody that appeared, and I had to write it down, and it never became a song, just a small mantra that kept popping up, sometimes, especially at times when becoming aware of my supreme impatience; a wanting of it All, Now! 

Yet when I create, I am patient, there is -only- Now. 

Many years later, in Amsterdam, not yet with green walls but in a colourful flat on my favourite canal, I started playing around with some homemade sounds, a harmonium, some birds, and then pressed record as I sang into the mic and words and melodies flowed freely, and there it was, this melody that time travelled and brought the rest of its song along, because sometimes this is how it goes, and time folds, and everything is different and yet in essence, so very much the same; falling awake from the illusion of time and space and separation, and there is only Now, and Now, and Now, in tune and in sync with the divine perfection of life.

-------
Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle

Arrows flutter in the skies
And hollow holy earth,
The under breath of wanting to believe
And the slightest lion eyes
Behold
And the crowd is going mad
Cause they want us to glorify
And the flowers glow
Sleepless nights

Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle

Round & round rivers,
And on the boat we rock
Back and forth
The lion sleeps and slides
Sleep and find me home

Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle
Be patient, love will come
Be well patient

It Takes a Long Time

Hey Little Kitty

every word you leave behind
echoes what you never speak of

tell me, if I die tonight
would you pull me in for one last hug?  


but I still hold on to the hope 
that you feel the same deep in your eyes

get lost in the silence
one more day, one more night

but i cant remember the sound of your voice	
nah i cant remember the light on your face

and all the static in my head just slowly disappears
fading slow through the night like I've been here before

tell me where do you go, when you don't have a home?
tell me why are you still here cuz i lost my hope too

tonight i break down i'm drowning in ur tears
but i can't just let you go out of my life

maybe one day you will realize but i don't blame you
can’t hide the pain over my mind, nothing feels true

dying in this place where no one stays, I don’t know you

tell me the things you never said, I can’t leave behind

silence is enough
