Dear Life

Acceptance (It's Alright)

Quelques centimes

A song about love, faith and authenticity.

Trouble on the rise
There's no way of knowing
How hard the wind is blowing
Till you step outside
Busking on the beat
Old familiar faces
Worn out shoes and laces
Left untied
Never knew anyone could love
The way that you do
Take a dream and live it till it's true
With a faith that cannot be denied
Bona fide
I've been fooled before
Put all my faith in fakers
Users and heartbreakers
I know the score
You kept me from the light
After sometimes always never
Held my heart and should together
You did alright
Don't need no provenance of authenticity
To show how real you are to me
You got forever on your side
Bona fide
Your song's in a key
That cuts through to me
What else can I do
To accompany you
But cry out to the stars above
Align illuminate the love
Reveal what's true
And oh so long overdue
I'll be at your side 
With every new tomorrow
Where you go I'll follow
Be my guide
Bona fide

Harvest Moon by Neil Young All Rights Reserved 

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleeping
We could dream this night away
But there's a full moon rising
Let's go dancing in the light
We know where the music's playing
Let's go out and feel the night

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's getting late
And the moon is climbing high
I want to celebrate
See it shining in your eye

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

Harvest Moon- Neil Young cover by Roy Roy and J.J. Terrell

Here's a sneak peak at our new album with the second song on there called SALOME'S DANCE!

After seven years since the release of our debut album, The Hypersonic Factor are grateful to share "Benevolent Beasts," a collection of tracks that reflects both our development as a band and the experiences that have shaped us along the way.

The journey to this album has not been without its challenges. We open with "Groove for Danny," a tribute to our late and original drummer, Danny Handler, in his memory we have made this track, honoring his incredible spirit and influence. Rest in Peace, Danny…

Throughout this album, we draw from a range of inspirations, some of which stemmed from the unusual times we all navigated during the COVID pandemic, happening right at the start of writing the album. "Proximity Dance" , for example, emerged playfully, reflecting the strange dynamics of distance and connection that defined our lives during that period.

Musically, "Benevolent Beasts" explores the many facets of fusion and progressive rock. With some acoustic pieces woven in and funk grooves threading through the sound, we aim to create a varied listening experience. Each original member contributed their unique style and compositions: the melodic and catchy riffs from our bassist Mirko Borach, Dan van den Berg’s eclectic electric and acoustic guitar work, and the warm, rich rhythms provided by our new drummer, Tom Hipskind, all converge into a collective sound that feels organic and inviting. Jason Rubenstein, our keyboardist, composer, arranger and producer has, next to his very diverse playing, skillfully guided the whole process, ensuring that the diverse ideas we brought to the table found a cohesive home.

We’re pleased to feature guest keyboardist William Paasche on "The Simurgh." His contributions add an intensity to the track that we appreciate deeply.

"Benevolent Beasts" is a culmination of years of collaboration, creativity, and reflection. We hope to offer something that resonates with all who enjoy instrumental fusion and progressive rock, inviting listeners into our world while echoing the journey we've taken together.

Thank you for taking the time to explore our music. We hope it brings you joy and connection in its own unique way.

With gratitude and passion,

The Hypersonic Factor
