Fourth track from 2022 "Redemption" album

Lost Wisdom (Burzum cover)

We’re all living in dreams of people from the past.
A golden era of grey and black
where people walk fast and never look back.

But who wears the trousers in these houses?
Who secretly skirts - tries on blouses?
Feels things for who they are - not what they’re not?

Everyone seems to like me except you.
Outrageous nepotism has always seen me through.
Weakness is strength and strength a weakness too
and everyone seems to like me except you.

Soon it will be time for bells to chime.
For birds to sing and truth to ring out.
Then we’ll know what this is all about.

Everyone seems to like you except me.
I’m trying to figure out what they can see.
Spending so much time in close proximity
and everyone seems to like you except me.

You were an interest I didn’t know I had.
Love is a two-way ticket to happy and sad.
Lip balm junkies never kiss too bad
and we’re both ruthless cowards - neither common or garden.
Just luxury high-end or food bank bargains.

It’s hard not to be a hypocrite knowing
what you should have done and what you did.
It’s hard to hold onto integrity
when you’re holding things that you should just let be.
It’s easier said than done - being blind instead of seeing.

Everyone seems to like you except me.
Lulled into false senses of insecurity.
Unhinged, all reddy-tinged we turn the screw
and everyone seems to like me except you.

Everyone Seems To Like Me (except you)

There is no denying at this point that the Climate Apocalypse is coming. The global north is building fences and the global south is dying.

Climate Apocalypse

Lyrics;
Before we realise
All the pseudo-freedom we’ve engineered
Will have tied our hands behind our backs and took the wheel

Even though it seems
Like a Utopian paradise, it’s by design
So when human nature rears it’s ugly head
Don’t be surprised

So I’ll stay inside
Until we start regressing

Ooooh,
Something terrible is going to happen soon
I can feel it in the air, wish it weren’t true
But the state were in is by design

The end is almost here
Raise a glass as the sun comes crashing down
First it burns through major cities and then it spreads through smaller towns

And as despairing as it seems
Hemlington will be swallowed by the lake
And some 150 burned out cars will land on Eastern American shores

So I’ll remain inside
Until the future’s over

Ooooh,
Something terrible is going to happen soon
I can feel it in the air, wish it weren’t true
But the state were in is by design

届かない未来extra short mix

From its popping bass intro, Patriot Parade builds until you think it can’t build any more - then goes even harder. It’s an anti-racist protest song, satirising populist demagogues and their followers. Recorded in London UK, the sound mashes punk, grunge and Britpop; think QOTSA meets Blur. The single is part of a debut album launch, backed by live shows, PR agency support, and a digital marketing campaign.
