Lyrics by Kevin Max
 
I got a werewolf heart 
underneath the moon 
Im tracking you close 
Im out of time  
ill be there soon 

I got a werewolf heart 
I’ve been inside too long 
confined in the spirit 
now Im unleashed 
and back out on the road   

I see with werewolf eyes 
I watch you all the time 
see the heads all chatter 
on the internet too 
yeah I’m watching you 

I got a werewolf mouth 
and its hungry tonight 
I’ve been running wild 
running for miles 
I m ready to bite 

I got a werewolf heart 
underneath the moon 
its not so bad 
cause I love you baby 
let me prove it to you  

You stole my heart 
You bled me dry 
now I wander all alone  
underneath the maudlin sky 

You stole my heart 
now its do or die 
I got to get you back 
or Im just killing time 

I got a werewolf heart 
in this furry suit 
I didn’t complain 
cause it was warm at night 
lying next to you 

I got a werewolf mind 
and its wandering 
won’t you tell me why 
you left me all alone
out here trembling 

you stole my heart 
you bled me dry
Now i wander all alone 
underneath the maudlin sky 

you stole my heart 
you made me cry 
hear my howlin at the moon 
I’m just killing time….

Lyrics:

I could always change my mind
Even when the universe was locked in time 
I could always see the world 
From a viewpoint that was solely mine 
Just take it slow
And listen deep
There’s still miles to go 

I’m always outside looking in 
Reaching out for answers that I’ll never get 
A misfit so misunderstood 
Even closest friends think I’m lost for good 
Just take it slow 
suspended grief 
from all this disbelief

Can’t you see it deep inside?
It’s Just a Pearl to hide 
Hidden from the harshest light 
That’s the beauty of the soul divine  

Can’t you feel it’s time to change 
It’s ok there’s so many ways 
Get back to the primal source 
To begin on another page 

Breathe in all the fullest space
Breathe out all the endless grace 
breathe in all the outer space 
Breath out all the endless grace 

The Creator’s Grace

Scary Monsters ( demo ) David Bowie cover

This Cover of The Smiths "Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me' was something I couldn't say no to... but I treated it with absolute love and reverence. The idea was simple, we would create a groove and I would free style in and out of verses with possible samples of poetry. What actually came out was this 13 minute take, formulated mainly in one evening at Pino's studio Creative Caffeine. Pino played the percussion and drums and had studio players on the rest... I played with the synth and added the faux 'Sitar' in overdubs. Background vocals were handled by Annalisa Nutt. I intend to send this to Morrissey, I hope he doesn't banish me from the planet.

Lyrics- 
Angels of Winter ( Wolves Of Fate ) - music and lyrics by Kevin Max 


There are angels here in winter 
I hear God among the trees
I see diamonds in the river
I see gold dust in the breeze 

There are angels here in winter
there is snowfall on the hill 
I see shadows creeping closer 
wolves of fate in for the kill 

There are angels here beside me 
as I brave the mountain pass
There are angels here who’ll guide me 
hear my heart its beating fast 

and although the ice is melting 
it doesn’t thaw around your heart 
and although the ice is melting 
still this chasm pulls apart 

There are angels here beside me 
as I  brave this mountain pass
there are angels here who’ll guide me 
all the while I’m holding fast

Revisiting This Planet

Pardon Me

Kevin Max's voice is like nothing else on the planet. It is a purist mixture of earnest presence and haunting romance. Max's vocal vibrato, texture, range and phrasing have drawn early comparisons to a younger Bryan Ferry or Freddie Mercury. After two and a half decades in the studio and on the road, Kevin's overall songwriting and creativity widened and arced to create something truly unique. 
From 1987 to 2002, he was the voice behind Dctalk and massive songs such as 'Jesus Freak' and 'Just Between You And Me.' Dctalk quickly became the biggest selling CCM act in history, claiming four Grammy awards and selling millions of albums worldwide. In 2001 Max made his first solo album 'Stereotype Be' on the EMI label and has continued to make a string of critically acclaimed and diverse albums ever since.  Hailed as one of the most enigmatic and unforgettable voices in music, Max has blazed a trail through many genres;  including rock, pop, electronica, jazz and alternative.
