Astronauts 'In My Direction' - single released 19/1/15. 

One of the highlights from the debut Astronauts album ‘Hollow Ponds’, ‘In My Direction’ is a gorgeous, cascading slice of dark, folky pop, with Dan’s breathy vocal harmonies - and call-and-responses with his friend and collaborator Michael Cranny – floating reassuringly over an intertwining acoustic guitar flow and taut percussive backbone. As with all the best Astronauts material, it’s hooky, emotionally involving, and mildly unsettling, all at once. 

The brilliant video for the song was conceived and made by Armenia-based production company Manana Films, after they approached Dan about collaboration earlier this year. The result is an idiosyncratic, unforgettable video starring Armenian actor Andranik Lavchyan rhythmically wending his way around the capital Yerevan, confusing everyone he encounters. 

‘In My Direction’ is backed with a remix of the ‘Hollow Ponds’ track ‘Everything’s A System, Everything’s A Sign’ from Kieran Mahon, a minimal/ambient composer and long-time friend of Dan’s, who creeps up silently behind the original and injects it with a swirling, insistent menace.

An ambient metal track with loads of layers! Used my Ibanez RG 7321 with my POD X3 going in to Reaper. I also programmed the Bass guitar using Cakewalk Native instruments and tried out EZXMetalheads to program the drums this time.
.
Programmed, mixed and mastered in Reaper. Feedback is much appreciated. :) 
Enjoy!

Lyrics: 

VERSE 1 :

Out in the world 
There is nothing so easy 
No man can earn without any pain 
A struggle to live &amp; stand on his feet 
So many come to live up their dreams 

Pre-Chorus: 

If you're not afraid,
you'll fight it. 
If your mislead,
retry it. 

Chorus :

Life isn't so easy 
We all need to face it 
A delusional world is where we're living 
Take your stand. Don't waste it. 

VERSE 2: 

Smoking away, his tension is rising. 
Is there no way, to find him a place. 
Home he would call,
without hesitation. 
Has mankind died ? 
We've made him a slave! 

Pre Chorus :

If you're not afraid,
you'll fight it. 
If you're mislead,
retry it. 

Chorus : 

Life isn't so easy.
We all seek to face it 
A delusional world is where we're living. 
Take your stand. Don't waste it. 

BRIDGE :

It seems there's no end
To the voices in my head 
A struggle to live this life 
A struggle to fight.

When I tried, I fell before thy.
But I rose again stood for the fight.
My hopes , my dreams and my life 
This passion, never let it die. 
(Struggle within!)

Pre Chorus: 

If you're not afraid you'll fight it 
If your mislead retry it 

Chorus:

Life isn't so easy.

We all need to face it 
A delusional world is where we're living. 
Take your stand. Don't waste it. 

Outro: 

Face it! 
Face it!
Face it!
Face it!

Ebonix - The Struggle Within

Volcano - Damien Rice

Written and Performed by Ebonix

Intro speech:

It was 1947
There was nothing in sight
All burnt inside
Too late to find 
A struggle to fight
Searching for some piece of mind
We were all tucked under, down below
Life lost all its soul
Giving up to some selfish holes
They changed the world for might
We all gave in, but never came out. 

Verse 1:

I'm turning the pages of my life,
But all I see is bad,
A never ending story often mine,
I'm a man who died, 
An agonizing death ,
So wake me from inside ,
And bring me back to life. 

Chorus 

But I don't wanna live a life ,
With fears inside ,
And curses of the enemies ,
Have no hope inside now  ,
I don't wanna be alive , be alive, be alive. 

Verse 2 

It was 1947, a year of life and death ,
Countries of the world showing their strength ,
Soldiers and warriors ,
Murdering themselves ,
I wish to change this time ,
And forbid this crime. 

Chorus 

But I don't wanna live a life , 
With fears inside , 
And Curses of the enemies , 
Have no hope inside now , 
I don't wanna be alive , be alive, be alive.

Bridge 1:

Wish this world turns into a better place. 
So many futures erased .
Bridges that exist no more .
Our honor defaced .
Torn apart into many pieces.

Bridge 2:

Some of you believe killing in his name is right
Who is he is yet to be realized
They call him god with a spirit of vengeance
What you stand for is out of question!

Bridge 3:

Many lives replaced 
Retrace the phases 
Do we all live to die?
Is it worth being alive?

La la la la* 

Outro Speech:

The war ended
Many lost their lives
Blood, tears and tragedy
Our minds in utmost travesty
The reign was complete
A loss for all involved it seems
Homes with broken hopes and shattered dreams
A future with no sight
Was it worth the ordeal ?
No one could say.

Porcupine Tree - I Drive The Hearse (from Octane Twisted)

Lyrics :

The dawn comes by 
Running he runs from safety
With blood shot eyes 
His life besieged by miseries 

Struck by the attention of a world 
being so holy 
He lead down his life for a life being so holy 

Killer on the loose 
Running away from the noose 
The dagger in his hands full of blood 
The killer whom no one trusts 

".. quietly he enters the house he'd been wanting to be in for days and months.. knowing where she sleeps he affirms there was no one else Around..he slides his knife out and slowly walks towards the room to satisfy his long unquenchable thirst..and kills her with a sweet smile on his face.."

Life from death 
His end coming nearer 
Premonitions 
He sees them clearer 

Struck by the attention of a world 
being so holy 
He lead down his life for a life being so holy 

Killer on the loose 
Running away from the noose 
The dagger in his hands full of blood 
The killer whom no one trusts 

This inequity 
The face of immorality
The sudden apparition of life in blinded vision

Sinfully slaughtered that innocent Woman. 
Her screams were a nightmare 
His flagrant decisions 

Killer on the loose 
Running away from the noose 
The dagger in his hands full of blood 
The killer whom no one trusts
