My week 1 submission for the Positive Songs Project.
Written and engineered by Lobelia
Mastered by Steve Lawson

I don't know
Just how fast this river flows
But I have you here with me

I often find
A gentle word, a tear in kind
When I have you here with me

The water just keeps flowing
Under this bridge we've made
But with you by my side here
I am not afraid

The world may change
But so much about us still stays the same
And I'm glad you're here with me

I don't doubt
It's on and off this roundabout
But I'm glad you're here with me

The water just keeps moving
Under this bridge we've made
But with you by my side here
I am not afraid

I don't know
How this will end, which way we'll go
But I'm glad you're here with me
I'm so glad you're here with me.

Here With Me

03 Starlings

The sun’s been on the run           
For some days now
Looking for some fun
She’s travelled south
Finding only shadows and the moon
She’s hoping to return here some day soon

My smile has lost its way and pointed down
It’s seen a thousand rainbows but it’s frowned
It’s looked out of the window on the day
Then watched a thousands rainbows fade away

But if the world has stopped the ticking clocks
And seconds wait inside a box
The sound of them just like a bell will ring
When it’s time for them to leave their homes and sing

The night has sent a message in the stars
One that we had never seen thus far
It’s seen this blanket mist itself before
But spells out only letters two and four                         

My mind has gone adrift into a cloud
Remembering the bustle of the crowd
A fog of daily steps on tangled grass
It longs for laughing noise and clinking glass 

But if the world has stopped the ticking clocks
And seconds wait inside a box
The sound of them just like a bell will ring
When it’s time for them to leave their home and sing 

And time and time again my friend
The ending starts, the starting ends 
The pillow rises and pretends
That morning starts and evening tends
To pass on by without a sound

But if the world has stopped the ticking clocks
And seconds wait inside a box
The sound of them just like a bell will ring
When it’s time for them to leave their home and sing

Also featuring the talents of mainstay members Angela Chan on viola/synths/vocals (notably a member of the Mercury-shortlisted Lanterns on the Lake and a touring member of Placebo) , powerhouse drummer Simon Robinson (brother of Ben) and the uniquely styled guitarist Adrian Ingham (assisted by a stack FX pedals); together as Hello Cosmos they are a meeting of minds of telepathic harmony with immense capability.
