Dancin‘ All Nite

Our first attempt at a folk-rock epic. This was a lot of fun to write and record - it represents the warm front where our musical influences and what we individually bring to songwriting meet straight down the middle.
Influences for this one include: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Low, Fleetwood Mac, American Analog Set and others. Hope you enjoy! 🎸🎻🤘🏽

Eclipse

Nice and really smooth and it’s got a really good vibe.

Flying to the end

People walking by
I don't know why they're walking by
I don't know why I want to cry
I'm just keeping the world away

Sitting in the crowd
In the crowd they're really loud
In the dock she's really proud
I'm just keeping the world away

It's a feeling I get from time to time
Especially when I'm feeling this sublime

Taking the train
Taking the train
It's the weekend
We be freakin

Journeys and destinations
Stations and observations
Still gotta work
Can't look outside
Hustle while we ride
Bustle while we ride

Taking the train
Taking the train
It's the weekend
We be freakin

Green blurs
Grey clouds
Where did the sun go? 
Does he know it's Friday
Does he know it's my day
To get paid

Taking the train
Taking the train
It's the weekend
We be freakin

In two days time
We'll be on our way back
And thinkin o'that is just 
Wick wick whack
Almost there
Get your s together 
Party on whatever the weather 

Taking the train
Taking the train
It's the weekend
We be freakiin

Taking the train
Taking the train
It's the weekend
We be freakin


Taking the Train

There’s a plague on this land
Spreading far and wide
There’s a plague on this land
Aint nowhere to hide
Gotta preach the word my children 
If the truth is gonna survive 

There’s a plague on this land 
Heading north and south 
There’s a plague on this land 
When you open your mouth 
Lives in the water and in the fields 
Only devils obsess about making deals

There’s a plague my children 
Spreading far and wide 
Gotta preach some truth my children 
If you wanna survive 

There’s a plague on this land 
In the air unseen 
There’s a plague on this land 
Everywhere you been 
You invited it in when you cast a vote
No promise is delivered and you’re without hope 

There’s a plague on this land 
Eating at your mind 
There’s a plague on this land 
Seeking to unbind
Gotta keep on learning children 
And the light you’ll surely find

There’s a plague on this land 
A plague on this land 
(Mmmm mmmm) 
There’s a plague on this land 
A plague on this land 
(Right now) 

No mask is gonna save you 
Knowledge your vaccine 
Cos make no mistake you 
Won’t live to see the dream 

There’s a plague on this land 
Eroding you and me
A plague on this land 
Destruction of dignity 

(vaccinate me in the library) 
(where the truth still lives for all to see) 
Ah huh 


Plague

(The bitter taste of freedom) 
Merry we few,
A carriage bursts with bluster,
The last to sign,
Drained, the hostelries and parks,
Parade grounds packed,
Condemned men,
We merry few
Lay among our final sundew. 

These martial verses
Incantations, curses
Each stanza
Drawing closer to the proof
Each taboo spoken
Each seal wrenched open
Inexorable approach
To the horror of the truth

The dance of correspondence 
The facade of the brave
But to those who know one best 
Inevitable that in, I cave
All my pain
In public domain 
A thorn in many sides
How can one stay silent 
In the face of genocide? 

These martial verses
Incantations, curses
Each stanza
Drawing closer to the proof
Each taboo spoken
Each seal wrenched open
Inexorable approach
To the horror of the truth

Does the virtual command the real?
Direct this play of blood and steel?
The ultimate numbers game,
Abdication of all blame.
Death rates rise,
Birth rates drop.
Our kind comes to a withering stop.

(Bearing witness, the Trove’s crypt revealed 
Deportees wired, terrors obscene 
Lobotomised, neurons firing peels 
At the demand of the machine) 

These martial verses
Incantations, curses
Each stanza
Drawing closer to the proof
Each taboo spoken
Each seal wrenched open
Inexorable approach
To the horror of the truth

We are experiment 
We are controlled
No placebo
No placebo oh oh
Discovered, I gulped the pill
(And suddenly am falling still) 

These martial verses
Incantations, curses
Each stanza
Drawing closer to the proof
Each taboo spoken
Each seal wrenched open
Inexorable approach
To the horror of the truth

(The bitter taste of freedom) 



Martial Verses

History deleted
Numbers withheld
Someone else is in your life
And you think I can’t tell
Lying awake
I hear your foot on the stair
Hear another voice
But then there’s nobody there
Tell me that I’m wrong 
That’s it’s all a delusion 
But when I found that credit card 
I draw just one conclusion 

And nine times out of ten 
I would believe you 
Nine times out of ten
I wouldn’t care 
Cos nine times out of ten 
I would forgive you 
And nine times out of ten 
You wouldn’t dare 

History repeated 
Favours withheld
Someone else is in your car
And you think I can’t tell
Making mistakes 
I hear you talk on the speaker 
See my face at the window 
And quickly delete her
Tell me that I’m jealous 
That I’ve misunderstood 
Think I won’t find your second phone 
In her Norwegian wood

And nine times out of ten 
I would believe you 
Nine times out of ten
I wouldn’t care 
Cos nine times out of ten 
I would forgive you 
And nine times out of ten 
You wouldn’t dare 

There’s no benefit in doubt 
You say you’re in
But then you’re out
Trust it melts like springtime snow 
And we’ve both both both both
Both got nowhere to go

History defeated 
Misgivings withheld
Showed me the proof
And I think I can tell
Lying beside you 
Say my name in your sleep 
So I pick up my phone 
Got a promise to keep 
A game for two
And I played too
Swiping right in the night 
And then I see you 

And nine times out of ten 
I would believe you 
Nine times out of ten
I wouldn’t care 
Cos nine times out of ten 
I would forgive you 
And nine times out of ten 
You wouldn’t dare

Human Lyrics : AI Melodies... 
Creativity exists in the interaction with non biological neurons. Don't dismiss it. 

An ageing lyricist whose musical journey began in the dynamic eras of hip-hop and Britpop. Embracing the evolution of these genres, he found himself enamoured with an eclectic array of music, unable to choose a singular favourite. His lyrical creations, infused with lived experiences and personal reflections, are uniquely his own, even as he collaborates with AI to bring his visions to life. Now, with immense pride, he presents an album that has been a decade in the making—a heartfelt endeavour that ticks off his bucket list goal: "record an album of all those songs that have been in your head for 10 or more years." He hopes you'll enjoy this musical tapestry, woven from the threads of his past and the rhythms of his soul with the incredible loom that is the power of AI.
