Description

Lyrics:
I wasn't expecting a free ride
For this to be fine
To all be alright
Maybe some hard work has paid off
Or maybe it's me
Maybe I've changed
I looked to escape from the danger
I looked for a way out of harm's way
And suddenly here in a new place
I am surprised to find I'm alive

Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unaware
It was just round the corner
Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unprepared
As if out of nowhere

I've always been dragging a grey cloud
Waiting for pain
And waiting to fail
Contentment is here at my door
Look it straight in the face
And don't be afraid
I always believed if you held it
Then it would be gone
Been anxious so long
But once in a while there's a blue sky
So dare it to stay
We're starting to play now

Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unaware
It was just round the corner
Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unprepared
As if out of nowhere

Hope Is Closer Than You Think

I've been experimenting with a bunch of fun sounds this weekend, this is the result (or one of them ;-) ). I hope you enjoy!

A gentle Song

There's a girl in my neighborhood
She turns all the heads
She looks so good
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood.

There's an old man
Just up the street
Sometimes he's surly
Sometimes he's sweet
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

We don't have to be like
Best friends or lovers
We don't have to be
Like sisters or brothers
Ain't too hard to realize
To grasp or discover
We got nothing in this world
We got nothing in this world
If we don't have each other

Bunch of young kids
Playing on my grass
Obnoxious and loud
A pain in the ass
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is 
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

Now there's some people
I don't recognize
They're not from 'round here
I realize
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop 
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it.

We gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of us in it
My neighborhood
In my neighborhood

In My Neighborhood

Apologies to listeners who left comments and liked, as this is another tune I have previously loaded here but took it off to remix.
Lyrics
Wherever you are going to well I’m coming too 
We’ll go north south east or west 
You can choose wherever you thinks best 
And if we share the driving we can drive all night 
And see where we end up in the morning light 

Or we could set sail on the open sea 
And have our adventures on the high seas 
And live like buccaneers wild and free
Or you perhaps might prefer drier ground 
Well it’s up to us to choose wherever we’re bound 

Just come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home 

So we can go here there or anywhere 
Or if you prefer we could just stay here 
So long as we’re together then that’ll be fine by me
And the road may twist and turn and rise and fall
And there may be hard times but we can take them on

Just come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home
So come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home…….

Long Way Home

Let’s Take The Long Way Home

October Echoes

Hi, I’m Kar and I'm an indie-electro artist and producer.
 
Growing up in a musical household in Dundee, Scotland, I played in orchestras, brass bands and ensembles of seemingly-random combinations of instruments. 
 
I was a member of critically-acclaimed indie miserablists The Scottish Enlightenment, playing bass and cornet. My highlights were supporting Idlewild; making the Eyes video which was shown on MTV2 and VH1; and singing on the celebrated St Thomas album.

I'm now settled in the boldly-creative city of Manchester, England, soaking up its musical legacy.
