The OG Artemis tune... a re release is coming I promise!!
Love this song, it's about that stupid thing we all do when we run back to things (or people oops) we well know we should leave behind. Because they do us no good!! But then again it's never that simple x

Come With Me (Album Version) [feat. Aneurin Barnard]

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

The Circular Being

Be Patient

I can see ur history
and I can see the torn edges of the
pages U don't want to be...and babe
it's no use to only show up
when it's all ur willing to share
and the ghosts of those pages are
hanging in disrepair
and I know you'd rather hide it
...to make it disappear
but it's all the fruit that's fallen
and at ur feet it rots
but same fruit...in a barrel used for naught
becomes a brew of basement beer
the solemn nectar of yesteryear
yea
got a touch of bitter and I swear I taste some tears
but as a whole I'm feeling a glow
cause with this keg of basement beer
I feel I could make a hole
or at least I could get U clear
yea
no need to wear a face
or dress for a different place
but if U really want to escape ur mistakes
maybe start by facing ur fears
O and
it's no use to only show up
when it's all ur willing to share
and the ghosts of those pages are
hanging in disrepair
