Lyrics;

I don't fight anymore
for things i can never change
i'll let go these things so complicated
i'll go the way that was made for me

I will walk away
i'll take the highway
i will take you there
on the main road

i will walk alone
on these dirty roads
i will meet you there 
on the freeway

you will find me there 
as i always wanted to be
i will find you there
we will be free

i will not hesitate anymore
will not think so much just go
i will not loose my time anymore
in distractions and illusions

I will walk away
i'll take the highway
i will take you there
on the main road

i will walk alone
on these dirty roads
i will meet you there 
on the freeway

you will find me there 
as i always wanted to be
i will find you there
we will be free

Late Sun Driver

Main Road

Cold Waters

Spooky Forest

The washing machines had a gutsful
It’s raining again on the lawn
There’s muck on the floor and there’s mud in your hair
Can I wipe can I clean any more?

O woman rise up from your ashes
so you don’t thrill to clean any more,
Spin around and at least you’ll get dizzy
and there’s plenty of food on the floor

O I don’t expect joy all the time,
And I never expected true bliss,
But when we fell down and made babies
I didn’t anticipate this!

There’s a strange sense of wild in my head now,
There’s a part of me drifting away
Watch a woman down there in the kitchen
as I unclip one side of me brain

This is one of my older songs that I am still quite fond of..  I have had fun mixing it up with some random sounds from my laundry and goodness knows where else while I was in creative mode!  And yes, that picture IS the machine performing in the piece.. :-))
Written sung made and played by Emma.

Washing Machine Song...  (O I don't expect joy ALL the time!)

A song about leaving a toxic relationship...

Caught in a dry spell, dead as a door knell
Praying for a drop of rain
When the rain fell down I thought I’d drown
And I've  never ever prayed again

It’s a great temptation, a strange sensation
To be beaten down, broken in
But I’m taking it back gotta stay on track
And I’m never going back again, my friend

You built me up and you cut me down
And your jabs are hitting close to home
You loved me so till I let you know
You’re twisting it into the bone

It’s a beautiful pain, that I’m feeling
It’s a hell of a day to be leaving
The more that you take the more that you gave to me
It’s a beautiful day for the misery

Time after time man it felt so fine
When we found a little common ground
But to save my soul you run hot or cold
And we’re off to fight another round

What is the price for your way of life
What did I pay for my freedom?
I didn’t count the cost of the love I lost
And you know I have my reasons

A Beautiful Pain

 Flowers are dreams,
 Share with friends and family
 It was a joy.

Yuma - 海

Round and round the endless road, repetition overload, 
The circus of life
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Collective mass amnesia, wilful anaesthesia
Fire and furious reaction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
The actors and the faces change, storylines remain the same
Blame it on the scapegoat faction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

The Road to you

Lunatics21 //The Road to you//Joerxwoerx&Ratzzz

Sittin’ round on a rainy day
Rain falls down on rooftops 'cross the field

Carve a name in a willow tree
Some would laugh
Some would cry
If it happened to them sometime

Walking backwards in a trance
Grieving in advance
That’s no way to live

See the wind kill a willow tree
Birds fly past 
I never even said my goodbyes

The room was full the TV was on
Laughing scenes suppressing screams
And the silence that everyone heard

Walking backwards in a trance
Grieving in advance
That’s no way to live
But it’s so simple
You know it is

Pushing back on the thought of quitting here and now
Making my home in the ground
There’s no other person holding back the curtains now
Gotta stop running away (just open the door)

I reached the door
So open the door
There’s so much more

Keep Away From The Funky Stuff - Mirko Borach /Jamie Rhind

This is a collaboration with Gonzalo Serrano - please visit his page:

https://soundcloud.com/user-600615411/tracks

We are separated by almost 10 000 km but came together though the amazing community on SoundCloud.   Gonzalo Serrano uploads grooves & drum pieces that he composes and records, which he then shares with others to incorporate into their music. I strongly recommend spending some time listening to his music and collaborations with others.
