“So… picture it R.66. Dead straight. Stay on road the whole time. Why? Because that
‘s where the road goes. It’s safest and best. Best asphalt and comfortable. So smooth so dark so creamy.”

[Intro]
I’m gonna fly through my life, through my life.
I’m getting to that goalpost, I’m gonna score that goal. 
But I just won’t win the battle though:


[Hook]
You gotta go off road, that’s where the water is.
You gotta fly so low, that’s where you find your bliss. 
You gotta go off road, you gotta go off road.

[Verse] 
And though the water and the rocks may be so sharp,
Though you might lose your tires and have to walk,
Might lose your wings and forget how to squawk,
You might lose yourself so many times,
You’ll find yourself having such a damn good time,
As you struggle through the strife and the water and the wine, 
And all the miracles you can perform,
And how many times you see a new dawn, 
Come on now, hear me when I say!

[Hook]
You gotta go off road, that’s where the water is.
You gotta fly so low, that’s where you find your bliss. 
You gotta go off road, you gotta go off road.

They Don’t Seem So High:

The way I see is like.. limited amount of brain juice. Taken up by decisions. You only change when juice is available. Brain likes a challenge. Is it working on useless mental exercises? Busy busy with boring stuff. Can’t persuade someone in to something it isn’t their time for. It’s like learning to fly. 

[Verse 1]
It’s like we’re all trapped in fields, with so many fences,
Every obstacle so high: the beginning,
But as we learn to jump, every fence becomes just a tiny lump.
And as we learn to jump, they don’t seem so high. 

[Chorus]
Don’t seem so high, don’t seem so high. 
As we learn to fly, the fences don’t seem so high. 

They don’t seem so high. They don’t seem so high!
They seem so settled tonight. 
They don’t seem, don’t seem, so high.

[Verse 2]
And in your mind  
Imagine it’s an ocean 
And when you’re worrying, you’re worrying, you’re worrying, 
You’re stressed, you’re so cold 
You’re in the air though 
You’re only looking at the top of the waves. 
You’re only looking at the top of the waves.
Add if you sink below, if you sink below…
It’ll be so… it’ll be so… 
Still. 

[Pre-chorus]
As we learn how to fly, life goes slipstreaming-by.
As we learn to fly, all those fences don’t seem so high.

[Chorus]
They don’t seem so high!
Don’t seem so high!
No, they don’t seem so high!

[Verse 3]
Go off road!
Don’t stick to the shoreline!
Find a new island!
Where the trees grow silver and gold

How will you feel down there?
How will you feel down with wind in your hair?
So smooth fine, so fine,
It’s like everything’s all-aligned.

[Chorus/Bridge]
So smooth, so fine / They don’t seem so high
How do you feel? / They don’t seem

[Verse 4]
Being at the top of a mountain / with the sun coming over 
On the top of the mountain / how do you feel to be a silhouette of love 
On the top of the mountain / sky so blue 
Wind in your hair / mountain so high
On the top of the mountain / rain coming by 
God, it feels so good there.

Off Road / They Don't Seem So High (2018)

I should be further from the microphone so often in these recordings, or perhaps I should lessen the vocal volume. 

Anyway... as a round and as a lyrical play around.

Circle (2016)

Two Englishmen making music together. 

Benno Hudson in Hawaii. 
Nathaniel James Robert in Norway.

Spontaneous harmonies and sometimes unison.
