Remember when we used to live in a different place 
Wake up every morning with your head in my arms 
And when you'd look at me, your hair would get in my face 

We'd stand at the edge of the porch and look out at the sun 
And everyone around us would go off to their jobs 
But we didn't live like that, we were just having fun 

And they all said 
You've Struck Gold x4 

And then I thought I could be my own kind of man 
I could do everything that you used to do 
I swear to god I can do everything you can 
Yes I can 

And they all said 
You've Struck Gold x4 

It took me a lot of time to make it up to you 
Down in the deep old mines, where I would try to find 
A fortune, for us two, me and you. 

And they all said 
You've Struck Gold x2

You've Struck Gold

I was born in a worn out world 
Where nothing seems to change 
A place where people hide in their homes 
and waste away the days. 
I’ve never had the chance to be noticed 
for what I have to say 
And though we may all try to change 
It doesn’t matter anyway 

Becasue I'm not real 

So I moved out to a house in the city 
And I grew out my hair. 
The world around fell deeper and darker 
but I didn’t care. 
My mind became a place for my own thoughts 
Not soothed by flashing lights. 
I turned the world off with a switch and I bid her good night. 

Because I'm not real 

When we only have one shot in this world. 
It’s best to make it count. 
Forget what all your seniors told you 
to what you would amount. 
It only takes a simple switch to 
turn back on the lights. 
We’re all someone who means something to someone 
and that makes us alright. 

Because I’m unreal

I'm Not Real

LOMBOK - Bahasa

As students around the world are preparing for upcoming graduation ceremonies in June, Lombok's song "We Don't Know" is timely. 

It gets to the heart of the question everyone faces as they are finishing high-school, or college, or even at a crossroads in their lives. “Even if we have a direction, none of us know where we’re going exactly, so it’s all just a big adventure." says songwriter Owen Hooper who graduates high school on the west coast of Canada June 1st.

“For all the kids who took the chance 
Fly above where the white creatures dance”

Lombok is a global dream pop project created by west coast Canadian singer songwriter Owen Hooper. The Great South-East, Lombok's first release was inspired by Hooper’s travels in Indonesia as a  foreign exchange student when he was 16.  Hooper wrote, performed and produced the project in 2013 during his last year of high school.

Hooper, now 18, started recording and performing at a really young age. His father, Tom Hooper has gold and platinum records to his credit for his singer/songwriting work with the Canadian band Grapes of Wrath. His mother Suzanne Little is also a recording artist, singer/songwriter and was in the 90's band Lava Hay. So recording gear and writing music was part of the background in his house as he grew up.
Lombok is Hooper’s unique take on dream pop, it is influenced, he notes, by Harry Nilsson’s the Point, Beach House and the Indonesian Culture.
