Sometimes

Lyrics:

Pace the painting
So frustrating 
Debase the thinking
And drown the babies - Down by the river
Persuading
Confidently conflating
We're debating
Though there's no control to anything we're saying


[Chorus]
The rivers of damned souls
Flow by me
The sins of long forgone
Enemies


Televising me
I've crippled my fantasies 
You are no master to me
I can bring myself to my own knees
The keys to guarantees 
No longer mine to seize
Degrees beg for expertise 
As dreams sail away with the passing breeze


[Chorus]
The rivers of damned souls
Flow by me
The sins of long forgone
Enemies

[Solo]

[Chorus]
The rivers of damned souls
Flow by me
The sins of long forgone
Enemies

[Solo]

You Don't Wanna Go Home

Stranded in Africa 
Words and Music by Tom Harris

[Verse 1]  
 When I was  eighteen, I left Geneva behind  
 Searching for something, a  place to rewind  
Through  Spain and through Italy,  Greece and the sea 
CYPRUS to Israel, the  road carried me    

[Verse 2]
Then to Ethiopia,  the land met my soul  
 First time my father’s  arms took hold  
 A ranch once a kingdom,  now cattle and dust  
 In Addis a home, but the  road called to us  
 

[Pre-Chorus]

 Debbie beside me,  pretty and free  
 The Volkswagen rolling,  just her and me  

[Chorus]
 Stranded on the highway, no sign of the end  
The sun sinking lower, no  help, no friend  
Shadows were watching, spears in their hands  
Fate held its breath in this  foreign land  

 Stranded in Africa, the dust in the air  
The silence was heavy, like  unspoken prayer  
Hearts beat like war drums, waiting for fate  
Would they walk on, or  seal our escape?  


[Bridge]
 Then like a shadow, a  car pulled in slow  
 Araya stepped out, said,  "Someone will know" 
 A two-seater benz,  but no room for two  
 He vanished ahead, and we  prayed he’d come through  

[verse 3]
The wind carried whispers, their footsteps drew near   
Hearts beating louder, tangled with fear  
Then one reached his hand out, not a word, not a sound  
Just pointed behind us, to where help would be found  

[Pre-Chorus] 
 Debbie beside me,  pretty and free  
 The Volkswagen broken,  just her and me  

[Chorus]
Stranded on the highway no sign of the end  
The sun sinking lower, no  help, no friend  
Shadows were watching, spears in their hands  
Fate held its breath in this  foreign land  

Stranded in Africa, the dust in the air  
The silence was heavy, like  unspoken prayer  
Hearts beat like war drums, waiting for fate  
Would they walk on, or  seal our escape?  

[Outro]  
 Dust rose in the distance, a  truck rolling near  
 A moment of stillness, then  fading our fear  
 Ethiopia held me,  the road made me see  
 That adventure was  waiting for Debbie and me.

Lyrics

Verse
Light's low buzzin'
Neon hum burns through
Shadows crawl
Walls whisper a lost tune
Electric fireflies
Dance in the dark air
Static pulse heartbeat—don’t dare care

[Chorus]
We ignite in the spark
Sky bleeds alive
Wires hum
Thunder screams
Stay deprived
The energy in veins pumps lifeless glow
We’re alive in the current
Yet we don’t know

[Verse 2]
Smoke curls up
Like ghosts haunt the steel
Electric truth slices sharp
We can’t feel
Boundless rhythm crushes
Hollows deep inside
We stray further and further
No place to hide

[Chorus]
We ignite in the spark
Sky bleeds alive
Wires hum
Thunder screams
Stay deprived
The energy in veins pumps lifeless glow
We’re alive in the current
Yet we don’t know

[Bridge]
(Ooh, yeah!) Feel it buzzin’
Feel it burn
Lost in the circuit
No return
Flicker-fade
But we stay in line
(Ooh-yeah!) Forever caught in the shine

[Chorus]
We ignite in the spark
Sky bleeds alive
Wires hum
Thunder screams
Stay deprived
The energy in veins pumps lifeless glow
We’re alive in the current
Yet we don’t know

Electric Fireflies

Electric Fireflies (feat. Alma)

I gave Suno an extract from a poem by W.B. Yeats entitled "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven", and then spent hours and hours going through innumerable iterations with different prompts about instrumentation, style and genre until I was ready to give up, when I finally reached this one... which I instantly loved. 😎

Words: 
O cloud-pale eyelids, dream-dimmed eyes, 
The poets labouring all their days 
To build a perfect beauty in rhyme 
Are overthrown by a woman's gaze 
And by the unlabouring brood of the skies 
And therefore my heart will bow, when dew 
Is dropping sleep, until God burn time, 
Before the unlabouring stars and you. 

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Cloths of Heaven

For all dog lovers and animal lovers in general, here’s something that might touch your heart. ❤️‍🔥
Check out the short video linked above. 👆 We’ve included some dogs we personally loved and who are no longer with us, brought back to life through AI, a bit of CGI, and some heavenly lighting effects! 🥹
This is a song that contrasts the purity and loyalty of dogs, who effortlessly ascend to heaven, with the struggles of humans burdened by sin and regret, left to seek redemption on Earth.
As always, enjoy the listen, and thanks in advance to everyone who supports us! 🫶
See you next time - which, spoiler alert, will be a sort of anthem to celebrate our first year here on SoundCloud, telling the story of the band! 😉
Released on major streaming platforms on April 12, 2025.

Lyrics:

Heaven is free for every dog  
But not for humankind  

You keep asking yourself  
What went wrong with your life  
And why you're gonna stay down here  
If all dogs go to heaven  

They run through golden fields above  
While you stand here, alone and lost  
Their souls are pure, their hearts are free  
But yours is bound to misery  

All dogs go to heaven  
But you don't  
All dogs go to heaven  
With their soul  
You're not being sent  
To that heaven  
You're gonna stay  
Here on Earth 

You search for answers in the sky  
But heaven never calls your name  
You thought you'd rise, you swore you'd fly  
But you're still trapped inside the flame  

They cross the gates without a sound  
No chains to hold, no sins to count  
You scream, you beg, but there's no way  
You're left behind, you have to stay  

All dogs go to heaven  
But you don't  
All dogs go to heaven  
With their soul  
You're not being sent  
To that heaven  
You're gonna stay  
Here on Earth  

You prayed, you cried, you swore you'd change  
But no one's listening, it's still the same  
They run through fields, so free, so bright  
While you just fade into the night  

All dogs go to heaven  
But you don't  
All dogs go to heaven  
With their soul  
You're not being sent  
To that heaven  
You're gonna stay  
Here on Earth  

All dogs go to heaven  
But not mankind  
All dogs go to heaven  
They got soul  
You, human being, will stay right here  
You're gonna stay  
Here on Earth

All Dogs Go To Heaven
