Songs from a Quiet War

Upcoming album

I don’t want you to look at me, I’m afraid of drowning in your eyes
I don’t want you to speak to me, I won’t hear a word you say
I don’t want to go out tonight, with you there are no darkened skies
Someone who can shine so bright, would turn my night-time into day
With you I dream of places , to which I’ve never been
If you’re to be my virus, then I don’t want the vaccine
Together we’ll go higher, my superspreader of love
Spread our wings and fly, to the stars above
Winds will come and storms will rage, volcanos blow and the earth will shake
But nothing in this beleaguered age, the chains that bind me to you can break
And when the silver spaceships come, from their myriad homes above
When they meet us they’ll be struck dumb with wonder that we can know such love
If you’re to be my gaoler, then I don’t want to be free
If you’re to be my siren, I’ll come live in the sea
Together we’ll go higher, my superspreader of love
Spread our wings and fly, to the stars above.

Message For Sirius

New World

Slow to realise I’m back at war, world war 3 or world war 4
Feels like there is something more, footprints on a distant shore
I hear your siren’s melodies, but I won’t go down on my knees
You fear me because I’m immune, to your swan’s song, a forgotten tune
--
Time and love are on my side, the future waits, arms open wide
Aquarius your time has come, our evolution has begun
The spirits are dancing to my song, all the angels, the moon, the stars
New world’s coming and it won’t be long, your dreams of war will never come to pass
--
I hear your words but the lies are clear, you’ll never fill my mind with fear
The world will laugh and dry it’s tears, as your emperor’s clothing disappears
I hear your siren’s melodies, but I won’t go down on my knees
You’re afraid of me because I’m immune, to your swan’s song, a forgotten tune
--
Time and love are on my side, the future waits, arms open wide
Aquarius your time has come, our evolution has begun
The spirits are dancing to my song, all the angels, the moon, the stars
New world’s coming and it won’t be long, your dreams of war will never come to pass
Will never come to pass

Are You Ready

Get your angst out and dance
As a kid I had a real quick temper, got me into trouble at school a few times like standing up to bullies twice my size, and once I threw a desk at a teacher. Growing up I learned some techniques to deal with it although I had some interesting times in my early 20s like when I got arrested for forcing my way into a police car lol. These days I'm very calm but unfortunately I have found myself feeling angry lately with the way our glorious leader is treating the people of Aotearoa. After meditating on this I came to the conclusion that I have two options: A: put a crossbow bolt through her slimy reptilian skull or B: write a hardcore dance track. As I wish to see my grandchildren again I have opted for B: (this time). So here it is. free to stream on SoundCloud and out on all the major platforms over the next couple of weeks. Crank it up and get your angst out.

Give me a break

We've come so far, let's not throw it all away, Keep your eyes on the prize: galactic civilisation

To The Stars

Did you know that Jupiter's moon Callisto has an oxygen- rich atmosphere and a huge subterranean salt water ocean?  We went to an underwater nightclub there where you can swim with the whales, who are very friendly.

The Whales Of Callisto

Don't have a phone, don't wear a watch, gonna boogie like a Sasquatch

Boogie like a Sasquatch

Run, politician, run, run from the Power of Love

A faun relaxes and contemplates the day just passed

Daydream Of A Faun

Do you stare at old photographs?
Have you forgotten how to laugh?
Will you draw up your epitaph?
Hey you, it’s nothing new
---
In the city, traffic’s crawling
Workers go home cold and tired
But in the jungle cats are calling
Cos it’s the Year of the Tiger
---
Do you walk when you can run?
Have you given up having fun?
Will you just have another one?
Hey you, it’s nothing new
---
The dogs of war, hear them growling
Soldiers marching, cold and tired
But in the jungle cats are prowling
Cos it’s the Year of the Tiger

Year Of The Tiger

Down By The River

Don’t grieve for me if I die, my spirit already resides
In bodies other than this, dimensions hard to resist
An addiction to existence
That allows me to shift
Between solar systems
Don’t grieve, it’s a gift 
Earthborn, you bring diamonds into the light
Waterborn, through the rains you’re laughing still
Fireborn, your passion lights up the night
Airborn, you cut through illusion with your will
Together we are Starborn
I know cousins from across the sea
They’re a little bit like you and me
I know cousins from across the sky
They’re a little bit like you and I
Like a lily that grows in the mud
Whose flower reaches for the sun
Though your body is flesh and blood 
In mind we are always one
Earthborn, you bring diamonds into the light
Waterborn, through the rains you’re laughing still
Fireborn, your passion lights up the night
Airborn, you cut through illusion with your will
Together we are Starborn

Starborn

Layered freaky industrial  sounds building up to dance beat

Forgive me, Lord, for I have Synth

Hello my friend
It’s good to see you again
I’ve been there and back, on a mountain track
To who knows where, who knows when
Hello my friend
It’s great to see you again
I don’t know where you’ve been
But I speak to you in my dreams
--
Love can set you free
And love can cut like a knife
Love and hate, like time and space 
Two branches on the Tree of Life
Wild horses love to run
Dragons love to fly
The moon is not the sun
But both light up the sky

Friend

A thief can be a healer when he steals away your pain
A fool can be a wise man when he laughs at the rain
A dream can be real if you’ve changed when you awake
And you can live forever if you give more than you take

So will you call me a thief if I steal away your pain 
Will you call me a rebel if I bring back some sanity
If I steal away your grief will you cherish what remains
If I swear at those who chain you would you call it a profanity

If I stop to smell the roses does that make me lazy
If I say the world is mad does that make me crazy
If I turn off the TV does that mean I’m out of touch
All those headline stories, do they really matter much

Will you call me a thief if I take away your breath
Will you say that I’m a swindler if I cheat you of your death
And if you can’t walk on water, I still think you’re divine
And if I steal your heart, does that mean you’ll be mine

Call me a Thief

Hey you, you’re gonna be like me 
And it’ll set you free
Cos I’m an animal
Hey hey, I wanna be like you
If you want me too
Cos you’re an animal
I want to jump like a monkey, jump like a monkey
A crazy crazy monkey
I want to sing like bellbird, sing like a bellbird
A beautiful bellbird
Hey you, you’re gonna be like me 
And it’ll set you free
Cos I’m an animal
Hey hey, I wanna be like you
If you want me to
Cos you’re an animal
I want to run like a tiger, run like a tiger,
 A big stripy tiger
I want to fly like a flacon, fly like a falcon
A golden- eyed falcon
Hey you, you’re gonna be like me 
And it’ll set you free
Cos I’m an animal
Hey hey, I wanna be like you
If you want me to
Cos you’re an animal

Animal

I can feel it in my bones
But I just can’t see it
Like a black star’s light
In the night sky
Like an ambush of tigers out the corner of your eye
Like a bird in a cage when you want to see it fly
--
Black star light
Secrets of the witching hour
Whispered in the night
Hidden spells, tales of power
--
Black star light will never shine too bright
Will invade your dreams like a thief in the night
Black star light, an invisible thread
Winding through a story with a chapter left unread
--
If you’ve followed me this far, you’ve been here before
Let me take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
Don’t know how you wound up on this shore
Just a silent weapon in a quiet war

Funky Mama

Beneath the Maketu Tree

From the mighty riverland up north
Some say you come
By the love of one brought forth 
Into this land welcome
Beneath the Maketu Tree
And in every branch and leaf
Some say that they have seen
From the north a mighty chief
-
We travel in time without spells or potions
Time’s not a river, it’s a mighty ocean
Leave your clothes on the shore, jump in the water with me
We’ll keep swimming down the river till we dive into the sea
-
Your body is your clothing
Falls like leaves upon the hill
Your tomb is all enclosing
Maketu Tree who hide you still?
I see the spirits, if I look hard
Keeping watch over your bones
Or maybe they are there to guard
A tree that has a heart of stone

Beneath the Maketu Tree

Socialise

You don’t have to look good
To feel good
You don’t need to be good
To feel good
-
I feel good, I feel good (x2)
-
I like to socialise
Cos it makes me feel good
Open up your eyes
It’ll make you feel good
-
Gonna do what I want to do
Won’t do what you tell me to (x2)
-
I like to sing and dance
Cos it makes me feel good
Come out of your trance
It’ll make you feel good
-
I feel good, I feel good (x2)
-
Gonna go where I want to go
Gonna see who I want to see
Gonna do what I want to do
Won’t do what you tell me to
-
I feel good, I feel good…
