Lyrics

Full voltage
Full voltage

Certify, gratify, my imagination
Something to occupy my poor attention
Seeing what comes to light and how it's signified
Curiosity taking flight, these are my other plans
That come out in the evening
While the neighbors are settling in
Get lost in a reverie
To my outlet I am plugged in

With full voltage
Full voltage

In your eyes, no surprise, not what it could've been
Not so clearly black or white, not what you expected
Careful what you incite, maybe need to clarify
Read into the words I write, but these are my own insights
And it comes without warning
Just when I think I'm settled in
My mind starts its wandering
No choice but to plug it in again

At full voltage
Full voltage

Allow me to
Certify, gratify, my imagination
Something to occupy my poor attention
Seeing what comes to light and how it's signified
Expedite, try to fight, I don't need bigger plans
No I don't need bigger plans
I don't need bigger plans
I don't need bigger plans
No I don't need bigger plans

When I'm at full voltage

Coming together...  Brian "Red" Moore, master engineer and musician brought some GREAT ideas!!

You feel you're always on the run
Though the day has just begun
I know I know

Always burning candlelight
Working late into the night
I know I know

It's very hard to understand
All the stress and those demands
I know I know I know

The future is the thing you plan
Take a look at the other hand
You work too hard just so you can
Find your place in the promised land
I know I know

Even when they're in plain sight
Many things don't work out right
You find it hard to sleep at night
You forgot to kill the lights
I know I know

Work so hard about to drop
You feel as though your head will pop
I know I know

Working hard with all your might
Never giving up the fight
I know I know

Feel the need for a place to be
Maybe a little sympathy
I know I know I know

Move on up the ladder then
Wonder if it ever ends
Try so hard not to pretend
Now its time to start again
I know I know

Whoever said this would be fun
Must be sleeping in the sun
I know I know I know

Why don't you just catch that train?
Grab a seat and ease the pain
I know I know

Figure out which road you're on
Give yourself a simple song
I know I know

Take a stand and draw the line
Everything will work out fine
I know I know

Future is the thing you plan
Take a look at the other hand
You work too hard just so you can
Find your place in the promised land
I know I know

You know this stop has just begun
Take some time and have some fun
Before you really come undone
Find that really special one
You know You know

Even when they're in plain sight
Many things don't work out right
You find it hard to sleep at night
You forgot to kill the lights
I know I know

Even when they're in plain sight
Many things don't work out right
You find it hard to sleep at night
You forgot to kill the lights
I know I know

Plain Sight - Feat. Brian "Red" Moore

Going a little electric...

Just across the border, in the back street there’s a back door 
you may find me there
I bide my time I toe the line
and I only ever take my share
I only take my share
And I hope
Everything turns out just fine
In the end
No one will hunt me down 
No one to shut me down, not yet
I’m making it feel like a miracle

My boys in school, he made the team & he’s a dreamer
never fails to impress 
I work the bars, valet your cars, 
he’ll fly to mars
And He’d expect no less
He’d expect no less
And I hope
Everything turns out just fine
In the end
No one to hunt him down 
No one to shut him down
No one to run him down, not yet
Let’s Make it feel like a miracle

there’s a talk show on the video
Making jokes so 
They can feel so
 invincible
There’s a freak show on the radio
but they don’t know
I’m invisible
invisible
I’ve always been invisible…
And I hope
Everything turns out just fine
In the end
No one to hunt me down 
No one to shut me down
No one to gun me down, not yet
We’re making it feel like a miracle

Feel Like A Miracle

Unplugged if you don't like Electric: https://soundcloud.com/crash_landed/electric-sax

Why is it hard
To say no more
When you’re not satisfied
When did you try to feel again, anyway?

And when we can radiate this thunder
How can we pair off our love?

Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?

The sound of words is like light in the dark because
you shine so bright

I’m beneath the stars that light you
All the ways

And when we can radiate this thunder
How can we pair off our love?

Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?

I want to be the right way
You want to be the right way
We want to be the right way
Baby I can’t take it no more
We want to be the right way
We want to be the right way
We want to feel the right way
I can’t face another love again

Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?

Ask Me

Gandhi - Ready For War II

Born from serendipitous chance encounters, and shared passions, Long White Clouds emerged onto the indie rock scene in 2009. The band's name, inspired by the Māori name for New Zealand, Aotearoa, meaning "The Land of the Long White Cloud," reflects the diverse origins and the blending of cultures within the group. The four-piece band is composed of Andrew James Burch, the lead vocalist and guitarist hailing from Napier (New Zealand), Nicola Lazzaroni and Matteo Pansa, childhood friends from Bergamo (Italy), on guitar and bass/backing vocals respectively, and Mike Ehlert on drums, who joined the ranks from Minnesota (USA) in 2022, bringing a fresh dynamic to the band's rhythm section.
Fueled by late-night jam sessions and boundless creativity, Long White Clouds quickly found their groove, blending infectious melodies with electronic experimentation. Their music, characterized by heartfelt lyrics, compelling melodies, and robust rhythms, embodies the spirit of indie rock while also infusing it with their unique perspectives and experiences. 
In 2020, they released the EP "Everyone around here looks angry," a 4-track treat that includes "1+1=1", "Shane says", "Dreaming about you" and "Shivers". The songs capture a range of emotions, from introspection to defiance, embodying the band's ability to navigate complex emotional territories with ease and authenticity.
The upcoming, much awaited LP "Aeroplanes", recorded during two sessions in 2023 with producers Riccardo Zamboni and Federico Laini and set for release in 2024 under the label Edonè Dischi, promises to be a significant milestone in their career, offering a more refined and expansive exploration of their sound. "Aeroplanes" not only marks the culmination of years of growth and experimentation but also a new beginning for Long White Clouds as they embark into the skies on new musical journeys.
