Enjoy this alternative version of Unify remixed by Lewis Howarth (also check out his band Lost Hills... which I also happen to be in!).

Unify - Lewis Howarth Remix

It has been a while since I uploaded anything new, so here is a peek at a short new tune that'll probably make it on the new album (which isn't too far off now!).

Orientate

Fleeting empathy
Like a shooting star we
Look up at the night
Darkness, nothing in sight

Faces to the sky
Weary hopeless eyes
Crowds of statues stare
Waiting for them to care

Shine a light to let
Every soul be seen
Cast it like a net
Pull us out the sea

Drowning empathy
Keep us barely breathing
Ample apathy
The only thing they’re giving

They leave us to the night
They leave us to the night
They couldn’t care what we say
They keep us out of sight
They show us all their might
Then leave us all to fight
So long as we stay away
Then everything’s alright
They leave us to the night
They couldn’t care what we say
Until there’s a price to pay

Yearning equity
Need to make ‘em humble
Marching entropy
Slowly all will crumble

Shine a light to let
Every soul be seen
Cast it like a net
Pull us out the shadows of the sea

Empathy

Take a picture of the good times
Save the feelings into your mind
In the moments life is unkind
Find some solace in a rewind

Listen to the songs you love best
Lean on those that help you express
All the joy or all the unrest
‘Till they help your heart feel refreshed

And they say to live in the now
But I look around and I’m not sure how
We all try to put on a face
Knowing we all long for a different place

This is all a time that we bide
This is all a space where we hide
This is all a storm that we ride
This is all the fear that’s inside

But we’ll find a story to read
And we’ll find the hero we need
Cos a world where good can succeed
Is a world we’d sooner believe

And they say to live in the now
But I look around and I’m not sure how
We all try to put on a face
Knowing we all long for a different place

And they say to live in the now
But I look around and I’m not sure how
We all try to put on a face
Knowing we all long for a different place
So we’ll settle into our minds
If it all provides us comfort

Comfort

There’s a girl inside my screen
How did she get there?
She talks about a hundred things
And all I do is stare

Digital desired girl
Through a crowd of men
She’s just ones and zeros yet
All I see is a ten

Wherever you may be
Broadcast for all to see
Fame and allurance bloom
Inside an empty room
Everyone around the world
Hanging out with you
We’re all here for you

Global e-girl superstar
You live far away
But I know you oh so well
And see you every day

Wherever you may be
Broadcast for all to see
Fame and allurance bloom
Inside an empty room
Everyone around the world
Hanging out with you
We’re all here for you

Wherever you may be
Broadcast for all to see
Fame and allurance bloom
Inside an empty room
Everyone around the world
Hanging out with you
We’re all here for you
Everyone for you

Bit Crush

Your sun, your rain
Your peace, your pain
I hope there’s far more shine for you

We all need time
To shelter from our minds
I hope it settles down for you

And I will find
A way to give your clouds a silver line
And we will tame
The clouds that hold the heaviest of rain

A calm and gentle breeze
Meandering through the trees
Will bring its cooling air to you

And when you need a crutch
When the darkness feels too much
I hope you know that you can trust in us

We’ll bring a light and we’ll bring an umbrella
And we can take some cover together

And I will find
A way to give your clouds a silver line
And we will tame
The clouds that hold the heaviest of rain

Silver Line

With every day
I sit and wait
For your return
I contemplate
Here at my window
Am I too late?
Here at my window

I stare outside
Into the street
I think of all
Who I could meet
Behind my window
Protective sheet
Here at my window

If I could fall
Would I be brave
Would I feel small
Without my windowpane
A way to feel the sun and the rain
Would I find my lane

With every day
I sit and wait
For your return
I contemplate
Here at my window
Am I too late
Here at my window

Here at my window
Am I too late
Here at my window

At My Window

Tuning out for a midday dream
Dropping out
While they talk about
How the world is falling apart some more today

Tuning in to a different scene
As I scout
For a bail out
From a world that’s falling apart some more today

You fly me to another place
You launch me to outer space
You give me a way to escape
As we fly into the sky
We bid the world a last goodbye

Zoning out for a midday dream
Killing time
Until it feels mine
Cos the world is falling apart some more today

Phasing in to a different realm
In my mind
I can leave behind
All the world that’s falling apart some more today

Dreaming of another day
Dreaming I don’t have to stay
Dreaming of a holiday
Dreaming that I’m far away


Midday Dream

Do we attack your sensibilities
With our politeness and charm?
With our desire for everyone to be respected
And a wish to see no harm?

Our radical ideas
They trigger a thousand fears
You make it perfectly clear
We are not welcome here

Hold on, did you accuse us of hysteria
‘Cos that seems the wrong way ‘round
But then again it seems we’re in two different worlds
And yours is upside down

Our radical ideas
They trigger a thousand fears
You make it perfectly clear
We are not welcome here

But if we’re fighting for a better world
Then we had better stay
Cos leaving things to selfish minds
Will only go one way

If all you can give is hate
And all you can do is berate
Then you make it perfectly clear
You are not welcome here

Radical Ideas

Everyone wants to be
Remembered in history
Just gotta find that thing to show

Everyone hopes to free
Their creativity
Just gotta let those ideas flow

Put them on the information highway
They may find a corner they can stay
Maybe one will infiltrate a heart
Wading through the sea of contemplation
Finding any worth consideration
Anything to give us a new start

Everyone stands in queue
To bring us something new
Ready to showcase what they know

Everyone can break through
If they desire to
Just gotta let those ideas flow

Idea Flow

Looking out at that dull, grey sky
I think it’s going to rain
And the nights are drawing in
There is nothing left out there
That keeps me feeling sane
I just wanna find some way to win

But we power up
If we power on
We can dive into a world beyond
We’ll escape into
Somewhere totally new
Ready yourself for

Video game night
Living a different life
Where there is purpose
Where I can fight
Video game night
Bathes us in coloured light
Launches our problems
Far out of sight

Racing through the city streets
Or drive your tank to war
Or conjure fantastic magic spells
Infiltrate an enemy base
Or launch yourself into outer space
We know that we’ll always give ‘em hell

Player two
Let us game
To get through
Find a quest
We can do
Fight together 
Me and you

Something New

A darker 80s take on Travis's "Kissing In The Wind".

Travis - Kissing in the Wind (Cover)

We’re fighting on the line of isolation
Divided we unite
Counting those degrees of separation
Nobody in sight

Looking out our windows to those grey skies
An empty battlefield
Scanning the horizon for the enemy
Whatever may reveal

We’re all woven into a digital tapestry
Sewing threads together to formulate strategies
And shield our sanities

Defending our lines of isolation
From within our forts
Every screen a watch tower looking over the world
Sending back battle reports

Isolation

A song for 2020... and every terrible year thereafter. Perfect for punks, who think every year is shit anyway.
