BEATS WORKING are a 4 piece guitar orientated rock band from the UK, led by guitarist/songwriter John Hardman. John's career stretches back a long way. Starting out in the mid seventies with rock/pop band Sunfighter on EMI, being the main songwriter and guitarist for that band, his career has also led him to write and produce work for many other bands/projects and work with a number of major producers such as Roy Thomas Baker, Gus Dudgeon and Chris Rainbow. In 1986 John formed Beats Working as a vehicle for the many songs he has written. Beats Working have so far made 10 albums, a compilation singles album and an EP 'No More Tomorrows' released in 2007. Latest album is 'No More Unfinished Tomorrows'.  Their  album "Calm" has been receiving great reviews from music press all over the world. Their music has been likened in influence to various other well known rock and progressive rock bands, but is definitely their own special Beats Working sound - a special blend of song based rock that is gradually achieving critical acclaim everywhere.

REVIEW 
"It's not often Britain produces a truly classy, mainstream rock band. But Beats Working definitely fall into this category. A combination of Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and Bad Company with added touches of Barclay James Harvest this foursome make it all sound so relaxed and easy, as they groove their way through 12 stylishly melodic songs that ooze maturity, yet avoid sounding contrived. One of the most impressive British rock albums in ages, 'Calm' is classic rock in all senses of the term." MALCOLM DOME, Classic Rock Magazine

Pièce instrumentale composée pour un spectacle de mime.

Fugitive

don’t know a thing about the world, it keeps changing
I watched you bring a little peace to my pond

now everything we’ll ever do seems ancient
but I am still unlearning all that I’ve learned

don’t know a thing about the world...

the winter freeze, it calls our lease
our fallacies
they squeeze us out of conversations

we felt so free when we crossed a sea
far from family
the ballast rocks of generations

free
(to avert a loss,
to avoid the pain,
to control your thoughts,
then it ends the same)

from knowing
(it’s all in vain,
don’t know a thing,
you don’t control a thing,
it’s all in vain)

free
(but you know yourself,
put trust in yourself,
go on and lean on yourself,
you believe in yourself)

from knowing
(except yourself
is not a thing,
it’s all in vain,
self’s not a thing)

Chorus: repeated

we never lie, we just don't know
the shadows stroll by
dictating our conversation

we simplify and for all we know
an angel dies
whenever common sense is mentioned

Chorus: repeated

unlearning all that I have learned...

Lyrics~

The thought was in your head 
and the notion so strange 
To be caught in your web 

When the goin gets tough 
When you know you've had enough 
When the morning is bluffed


Come in 
Complain 
I mean it this time  
Come in

When you feel it in the knees 
When the soldeirs callin in
When the stain is often hid

When the taste is out your mouth 
When your feet take off the ground 
When the chain is off the ground

Im in
Im in
Im in

I can eat this
I can eat this one again, one again 
I can beat this 
I can beat this one again one again

"The Implicate Order of the Sea" is analog and modular generative piece of music, with no structure of its own, that even resonates with my dreams of reading David Bohm.

David Joseph Bohm was a scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind.

Remastered in 2023 on Tape Reel Akai GX 270-D.

Thanks for listening!

A Path of Light

The Implicate Order Of The Sea

Intro:
je moest eens weten wat ik zag
ik had nog stress op donderdag
ik had geen cash op zaterdag

Pre-chorus
Ik ben slordig en verward
Ik heb nu niks in life gepland
Zeg mezelf dat ik niet kan
Terwijl we sippen van een glas

Jij de mooiste van de klas
Ik de verstrooide uit groep acht
en nu zijn we nog steeds panisch maar, shit put on a mask

Chorus:
Ik ben verhuist naar Nederland
en ik werd een komediant
Want daardoor zag er niemand dat ik niet sliep alleen in de nacht
ben aan het bidden voor een beter leven, dat is wat ik dacht
maar we dweilen met de kranen open geen uitweg die ik zag

Ik ben iemand anders in de nacht
Ik sluit mijn ogen en verman
Ik vecht met tranen als ik lach
Je moest eens weten wat ik zag

Ik had nog stress op donderdag
Ik had geen cash op zaterdag
Ik moest nog rennen in de nacht
Ik breng emoties volle vracht

Verse:
Jongen droog je tranen en verman
Je hield ze tegen tot een dag
Dat jij er echt genoeg van had
En toen toonde jij geen echte lach

Waarom faken voor buurman
en waarom zou ik houden van?
Jij had stress dus toon het dan
Je kijkt in de spiegel en wilt hem slaan

Jongen ga je gang en show die haat doe niet hallucinant
Het is beter als je praat met de duivel want
voor jou heeft God niet echt een meesterplan
dus is het beter met de duivel ik ben zeker van

Ik ben dagen aan het rennen zonder schoenen aan
Ik heb blaren aan mijn voeten maar moet verder gaan
Ik ben zelfs gestopt met blowen zodat niemand daarop stak
Ik ben niet gestopt met roken maar dat komt door de bad luck

Pre-chorus
Ik ben slordig en verward
Ik heb nu niks in life gepland
Zeg mezelf dat ik niet kan
Terwijl we sippen van een glas

Jij de mooiste van de klas
Ik de verstrooide uit groep acht
en nu zijn we nog steeds panisch maar, shit put on a mask

Chorus:
Ik ben iemand anders in de nacht
Ik sluit mijn ogen en verman
Ik vecht met tranen als ik lach
Je moest eens weten wat ik zag

Ik had nog stress op donderdag
Ik had geen cash op zaterdag
Ik moest nog rennen in de nacht
Ik breng emoties volle vracht

Outro
Onthoud goed, dat iedereen wel eens struggled in life, en dat dat oke is
Ook als het echt voelt alsof je helemaal locked zit, moet je gewoon ff geduldig zijn
Want zelfs in de donkerste nacht zal je altijd een lichtje zien
En zolang je die gebruikt om je weg naar buiten te vinden, komt alles goed
I'm out
