The track is an instrumental jam around this cool bass line that served as the main foundation for the whole track. The vocals are all samples arranged in different formats to fill out the fact that I'm friggin useless at writing lyrics !!!🤨

Verse

Who’s Keeping Score?
You’re born with nothing, you die with nothing, 
So, what’s it all for?

You’re in decline,
Let me remind, that life is short, 
But a soul is without time.

Chorus
We’re on a voyage,
In charge of our own fate.
Picking a way, we seek to validate.
There’s no first place, in the human race
A soul is judged by the love it creates.

Verse
You’re taught to shine.
But you hide behind a smile that is 
Meaningless to us.

Who’s keeping score? 
What do they find, when we fall behind?
And we can see no more.

Chorus
We’re on a voyage,
In charge of our own fate
Picking a way, we seek to validate
There’s no first place, in the human race
A soul is judged by the love it creates.

A soul is judged by the love it creates.
By the love it creates.

(Review by Indieoclock magazine)

The talented singer and songwriter Paul Cogley has just released his powerful new album, a record full of quality and emotion.
The Silent Sea is the name of the new album by the brilliant and super talented Paul Cogley, with 8 tracks, the surprising work leaves us impacted with a dreampop of quality and charisma.
The first track already shows what the album is about, a well-structured dreampop, full of energy, bringing an 80s sound with shoegaze, a song that immediately invites us to listen to the rest of the album, a sensational song that shows the size of this songwriter's talent and how good this album will be.
The second song, Searching For Signals, is intense, reflective, the kind that takes us out of our chaotic routine and makes us dive into each section, with a perfect and psychedelic instrumental that makes us get in touch with our feelings and leaves us floating with what really matters: our feelings that keep us connected to ourselves and good things. The third track is Lost at Sea, a strong instrumental that leaves us excited and levitating. This instrumental is hard to find these days. It is well-constructed, full of intensity, intimate, psychedelic and charged with energy, with a striking and powerful guitar. This track is captivating and delightful. The fourth song is mesmerizing, even romantic, beautiful, and the kind that makes us dive into our emotions again. This work captivated us. It is a work of art of contemporary dreampop. Without further spoilers, you need to check out the rest of the album, which has power, intensity and quality. An album that allows us to travel and live a little for ourselves amidst the well-planned sounds that guide our thoughts. We love this album. The Silent Sea is a cry from the heart, a desperate cry for all to see and hear. Just look at the playlist... Lies, Searching For Signals, Lost At Sea, The Eye I Eyed, The Dream Of White Horses, Analog Child, Time To Go and Moments, each a death rattle of various aspects of a very unfulfilling existence that prioritizes quantity over quality, how lost we as a human race have become, misinformation and what it all means for our souls!
