Why Am I Thinking These Things?

||| We're Square |||
From the album White Noise 
+ Releases 15 October 2025 on all major streaming platforms +
A downtempo, ambient soundtrack, exploring the subtle nature of things...
Sometimes we take things and people for granted.
Sometimes we scatter our energy too far
And fail to appreciate that which is closest to us..
Things get dirty / broken / cracked from lack of care
And before you know it, that prize you once valued has become something ugly.
Sometimes neglect hurts more than a person will show...
They will just turn their back,
Walk away
And disappear quietly from your life.
No drama,
No words,
Just silence. 

Like a piece of slow decay
Slow
Decay

You can't lose what you don't have
You can't lose what you don't have anyway

Slow
Decay

The fourth song of our summer series "We Can Solve Most Things If We Talk" is a hymn to Hope.  It is the enduring attribute of mankind to be able to think beyond the most painful circumstances and imagine a better life and a better world.  Peter is not just a fine writer of melody and lyrics, but a very able and eloquent guitarist and vocalist.  Oddrun graces this song with her angelic voice as if she were Hope itself, and in duet they give the song wings.  Seagull's synths, bass, and mix are ever sure and seamless, a true labor of love.
Music, Lyrics, Guitars & Vocals; Our dear poet Peter, soundcloud.com/user-264930040/tracks
Vocals; Soundcloud's most wonderful voice; Oddrun, @oddrun-eikli
Compilation and mix by visionary producer; Seagull, @farout-music-studio

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man--Will You Raise Your Right Hand (Peter, Oddrun, and Seagull)

after school
runaways
was just the two of us
babe

leave our homes
leave our friends
see where the highway
ends

flying
trying

you never come around now

ever gone
here to stay
you live inside of me
Maeve

in my dream’s
shadow play
until tomorrow comes
stay

crying
trying

you never come around now

until tomorrow comes
stay

Hoppin' & Boppin'

Kitchen Discos 

A song about all them good times dancing, singing and laughing until your sides split. 
Having the best night out in your kitchen.
Then over time the magic just fades and it’s a memory of why don’t we do this anymore. 
We give you Kitchen Disco 
Bring them back 

V1
I just want a kitchen disco to stone the crows 
Under the spotlights dancing on the heron bone 
When we cried with laugher until we just  dropped
After singing at the top of our voices  and giving it everything we had got

 

Chorus 
And now it’s me against my self 
Over compensating like hell 
Me against myself 
Oh what happened Dear Danielle 
To kitchen discos dancing on the heron bone lino  x3
Kitchen discos    



V2
I just want a kitchen disco to stone the crows 
Under the spotlights dancing on the heron bone 
When we cried with laugher then we just dropped
After singing at the top of our voices  showing off what we had got

Chorus 
And now it’s me against my self 
Over compensating like hell x2
Me against myself 
Oh what happened Dear Danielle 
To kitchen discos dancing on the heron bone Lino
Kitchen discos 


Outro 
Kitchen discos are what I miss 
Now I just reminisce
Why don’t we do that anymore 
I wish it was like before 
Kitchen discos are no more

Fragments of Hopes - Improvised Piano Piece

Still A Spark Inside [Time Forgets Us Slow]

[Verse 1]
Dashing through the dark,
On a mount of shadowed night,
Nothing leaves a mark —
All fades out of sight.
“Silence shall remain,”
That’s the vow he coldly keeps;
“Words are all in vain,” he says,
Before the world falls asleep.

[Chorus]
Silent bells, silent bells,
Ringing through the gloom!
Silent bells, silent bells,
Heralding your doom!
Silent bells, silent bells,
Echo bleak and low —
“Stand back. Don’t speak,” he whispers,
In a voice as cold as snow.

[Verse 2]
Riding through the dust,
Judgment in his stare,
“All beliefs are rust,”
Nothing sacred there.
“Pointless,” he proclaims,
Every hope must fade to grey;
Power breaks the meek, he says,
And sweeps their pleas away.

[Chorus (repeat)]
Silent bells, silent bells,
Ringing through the gloom!
Silent bells, silent bells,
Heralding your doom!
Silent bells, silent bells,
Echo bleak and low —
“Stand back. Don’t speak,” he whispers,
In a voice as cold as snow.

[Verse 3 (short bridge verse)]
“Sins will crumble soon,”
He declares without remorse —
Night devours the moon,
Silence is his only force.

[Final Chorus]
Silent bells, silent bells,
Falling through the air!
Silent bells, silent bells,
Chilling every prayer!
Silent bells, silent bells,
Nothing left to say —
Only quiet footsteps
As he turns and walks away.
