I like this beat! I get the sound concept too 👌🏿 keep grinding broski!

Greater Than Sunsets is a song written to express how much beauty is in our daughters as we watch them grow. This is my first in studio song and I really enjoyed working with Andy King on the arrangement. This song was played at my daughters wedding and and features Andy on vocals and keys.

Greater Than Sunsets

Oh in 1963,
we looked up optimistically,
towards the specks that are the stars,
planning missions out to mars. 

We expected them to call,
if not tomorrow the next day,
turns out there's nothing bloody out there,
or if there was its gone away. 

But now the times have changed,
would we even want to find?
fear's taken over,
mankind has lost its mind. 

This attitudes reflecting our-
selves back from outer space,
cos space is a cold, dead mirror,
we think it better to be safe. 

See we reached an apogee,
back in 1969,
and the perigree is choking,
it's up to us to free our minds. 

We have to look behind the curtain,
we have to see who drives the cogs,
and we'll discover that it's no one,
the machines are doing the jobs. 

And everybody answers,
to a higher cause than he,
I'm not talking about religion,
you can't have that certainty. 

You entered here with nothing,
and your bones just star dust,
our technology advances,
whilst our souls have turned to rust.

Lyrics:
Secret life of loving families
Thank you for saying please
By the ways I was raised
I've got expensive taste for life
Tell me your price to pay
Don't pretend you don't know what to say
I saw the flash of your tags in your eyes
Between your hmms and sighs
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know
I've been there before

We want more
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more than before
For, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for
Forgotten
Forsaken
For what?
We want more
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more than before
For, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for
Forgotten
Forsaken
For what?

Secret need for powerful enemies
The shame that puts one's mind at ease
You mean shit in this world if you don't make their blood run cold
Tell me the flavour you wish to taste
Don't pretend you don't know what to ask
I feel those words on your lips when your smile's about to kiss
Your glass
I know, I know, I know, I  know
I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know
I've been there before

We want more
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more than before
For, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for
Forgotten
Forsaken
For what?
We want more
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more than before
For, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for
Forgotten
Forsaken
For what?

I saw the flash of your tags in your glassy stare
(Stair to heaven)
Anywhere where we don't need to explain it's a long life
(We don't need to explain)
It' s a long life to only feel love, to only need love
It' s a long life but in the end it is too late, too late
But in the end
Egos echoe nicely in our ripped off heart
Egos echoe nicely in our ripped off heart

whatsup-TOOLMAN 23_1

As the crowd rushes the stage,
all the cobwebs blow away,
and the memories of your fears, 
flooding back.
As the see-saw rises out,
from the sand pit in the ground,
you see obstacles between you and the floor. 

What comes up always comes down, always a friend who hides his frown,
you can never see him coming till it's late.
Oh, the ground approaches quick,
and you're not ready for it,
as you're bouncing and you're landing on your face. 

Up and downs.
This is life?
Can you take it in your stride.
Ins and out.
Side to side.
Can't seem to get the balance right. 

As the blood pours down your face.
You can see they've raised the stakes,
and there's nothing left to do but have a crack.
Though kept down you raised me up,
in this world of buttercups,
to and fro-ing as the balance works us out. 
The see saw crashes down,
when one side seeks the ground,
yes it's easy to forget about who you owe.
But to play games on your own,
is a fools errand you know.
I'll lift you back up if you keep it safe for me. 

Up and downs.
This is life?
Can you take it in your stride.
Ins and out.
Side to side.
Can't seem to get the balance right. 

Oh, the nerves you feel for days,
that will just not go away.
Or the thoughts that keep lying awake at night.
Or, a day out on the sand,
and your feet on salty land.
Are just different edges, same old butchers knife.

Up and downs.
This is life?
Can you take it in your stride.
Ins and out.
Side to side.
Can't seem to get the balance right.
