Fortunately we can listen to this track without becoming deaf!😂

Love all the hard work here.  Incredibly well written

This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard. 

Lyrics by Mark Spruce

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

Well - synths
This time, our duo invites you to face the illusion that prevents us from living our real lives to the fullest. We create an illusion and can't escape it. It could be some kind of addiction or toxic love. Whatever. We are in a maze and can't see the way out. Maybe it's time to break these shackles of illusion. Maybe the way out is in our mind. That's more or less what our piece is about! Enjoy listening to it !!!

In The Trap Of Illusion - w/Surfers Like Us

You build yourself up while the world breaks you down 
Feeling untouchable till the walls are crashing down 
All the strength you gather be gone in a second 
Everything forgotten can come back and fucking wreck it

One day you're standing tall
The next day you’re going to fall 
Everything’s going, going away
Everything's going, going away 

One day you’re standing tall
The next you’re on the floor
Contemplating how the fuck you can take anymore
Your resolve will be tested by the limits of your soul
You dissolve every method it begins to take its toll

So many white walls that need a big hole from my fist 
So much of this fighting is over all of this shit 
I conquer conquer conquer but the fight still rages on 
I wonder wonder wonder if I can go on at all

But my mind is there to save me and to gather up my will 
My mind is there to save me and repeat I fucking will 
The torment will keep rising but the dog in me bites back 
The universe is winning until I am fighting back 
My heart is beating loudly but my chest gathers the air
The start was so profound but the enemies still there
My energy is binding and its blinding to the hurt
I will not be defeated this was needed for me to learn 
This was needed for me to learn
This was needed for me to learn

Fall

Departure flight

There often is no rational reason for the level of hate and extent of death and destruction for most of our self inflicted tragedies. I think if we ask ourselves the simple question that the spider asked me and if we are true to our own selves and not blinded by paranoia/false leaders. then this can stop

lyrics
I woke up in the morning and went to the kitchen like I always do
to get some coffee and some bread to toast
to my fright and surprise
crawling on the floor before my eyes
A big black spider..hairy and awful
heading to the web he had made the night before

without thinking much,I walked over and picked up my foot
to bring down on his head and end his life for good
but to my surprise and shock,the spider turned and looked at me
and said.."Why?? ...is this something your God would do?"

I held my foot in the air,,I didn't know what to do
First I was shocked that a spider was talking to me at all
but mostly, I couldn't answer his question
I couldn't think of a reason and mostly I knew God would not approve of killing something for any reason

So I stepped aside,got my coffee
the spider went to his web for his breakfast
and we both had a great day

so before you raise your fist in anger again
before you hurl another horrible racial slur
before you burn someone,throw a rock or kill someone
be sure you answer the spider's question first

and if you can';t
then don't..do it

the spider's question

DRUMAX No. 50 // FIFTY

Well... I had fun making it... and now I'm deaf...
I kind of let the end run on a bit but I quite like how it lulls you into a false sense of security and then jump out of your skin when the next track starts.

Bridges, roads ... Meetings, partings ... All this is chaos - in it we are only actors. It's so hard to remember and so easy to forget. But the house is already so close - even if you are gone ...
