Catsuit

The closest song to the previous album Paradise of Song, and the last one we did as The World. Bass part written by Simon Brewin, a much underestimated bass player.

Elements of, I guess, U2, REM, Nirvana and Nat King Cole with a groove.

The strings at the end were influenced by Disney, Jarre, Glass and Debussy. Hopefully you can hear it all in there. Wonderful playing by Abigail Wilsher and Rhiannon Lock.

Untogether

Daymoon (Angels in the Snow)
	Let them ring, the bells for angels ring
	In a new beginning
	I think I found a sound to fit your wings
	For a new beginning
	Ooh…along came a spiral 
	Of torque and denial
	Maybe I'm questioned from my knees  
	You rocket to the moon
	Forever trying to find inner peace 
	I blacked out in the deep blue
	If this is about you
	Then show us your loop-de-loop
	Hey, maybe one, maybe some day
	We’ll make those angels in the snow
	On a reel, the seabirds and starlings
	Redacted by skylight
	All the words you said are recordings
	You open the skylight to...
	The mirror of the daymoon
        The mirror of the daymoon
	You let go of our balloon
	Hey, maybe one, maybe some day
	We’ll make those angels in the snow

Daymoon

Ether
Autumn 1997
Think of a beautiful song
Think of your mother, holding you in her arms
And your father, with his hand… on your shoulder
Think of a friend with their mouth beaming
From a j-peg of a holiday somewhere
Think of someone who is no longer with us
Think of a beautiful song
Ether, Ether
Brink me to visible tune
Asunder me luminous moon
Steering clear of around, 
Stare up at a building
And fall back onto the ground
Light a canvass of carting billow     
Think of a beautiful song
I think of my Nan saying 
‘Thousands wiped out this morning’
-from on her commode
She helped me read remorse code
Wonder me luminous road
Ether, Ether
Brink me invisible tune
Asunder me luminous moon
Think of a beautiful song

Wellbeing is Innate

Yellow Jersey

Timeless
(J Wills)
In the lobby the heat was a little... tumultuous
And the dommes came clip-clopping with a gust
And oh, would that I’m wanted and worthy
Would I kneel with a light tremble in my knee?
Oh I’m confiding this to your care
Timeless 
We play like a song that is timeless
You’re no less than twice in a lifetime that you’re blessed
Oh I’m gliding weightless in your care
And oh, you made me feel wanted and worthy
I would kneel without a quake in my nerve
Laughs fell with grace notes and glissandos 
A bath was running with wild oregano 
Timeless 
We play like a song that is timeless
You’re no less than twice in a lifetime that you’re blessed
And I’m not hiding elsewhere in your care
With the memory I’m wearing a crown of elation

Timeless

Driving song dedicated to Annabel Solomon who gave me her old car. I wrote her this song to say thank you. - JW

Annabel Gave Me A Car

Someday

There are five stages of grief we said
But I replied: They just can't be dead

Coz I know in my head I'll see you again someday 
I know I'm going to see you again someday 

I lost my shit and howled in the streets
I often wonder if I'll ever know peace

But I know at least I'll see you again someday 
I know I'm going to see you again someday 

If I could take back all that pain from you
But I guess we know now it just doesn’t do

So we'll start anew, coz I'll see you again someday 
I know I'm going to see you again someday 

And all these feelings flow dark with the strain
And ebb to show us emotional range

And I believe in change and I'll see you again someday 
I know I'm going to see you again someday 

Life is about joy not aching to task
You’re living in me, although you have passed

And it’s no big ask that I'll see you again someday 
Coz, I know I'm going to see you again someday

Fail Harder (J. Wills)

You're alpha strong
You knot not wrong
Aggression cues you dumb
And still obviously wanting... some

Ch.
We've all got it coming
All got it coming
That's why we've got to fail harder
We've got it coming
All got it coming
And it comes for us soon enough.

You want your war to transpire
And your God to rain fire
But he leaves you 
Leaving you dire
Can you care?

Rpt ch.

And try and think of one time in your life when hate really stopped you.

Can you care?
Do you dare?

Rpt ch.

It comes soon enough.

Fail Harder

Jesus Going Apeshit in the Temple

Reviewed by Jonny's 'devil's advocates' test audience as 'mindblowing', 'miraculous' and a 'masterpiece', Dynamo is potentially Jonny Wills and The Wow's breakthrough album.

Intended to be a classic album you can turn to and return to, Dynamo is inspired by the notion of a great rock n roll/pop album like Revolver, Led Zeppelin IV and Thriller. The eleven song set spins melodies in cinematic technicolour and film noir cool, throwing in progressive arrangement and poignant, abstract lyrcism to insatiable foot-tapping rhythms. Yes, really.
