Another great track !! Love the intro ... Will feature on our Sept Online Festival Radio Show on @RadioKC

Cheers…I am a huge fan of theirs so I guess it shows. 

Such a massive wall of sound! A somewhat soggulated wall with all that reverb. Good stuff! Is the knee in your bass player photo at the top of the page a nod to Les Claypole? :)

02 Learning To Play

Don't Shine Your Light On Me

The partners of HJJW present to you Playing Office from their business themed album ‘Sound Investments’. Combining the skills of Andrew Hartshorn, Cosmic Bos (the Jackson brothers) and ASeaWarren, this musical slice of modern office life takes you on a journey through the 9 to 5, examining the existential crisis of work life balances and overtime taxes, timesheets and insurance policies, major lifts and minor falls. The themes of the album are directly represented in Playing Office, with its references to Michael Scott and David Brent, and a couple of other hidden Easter eggs for the office media savvy, the job is what you make it, so make it fun.

HJJ&W are here to represent music made by the people for the people, vote for Playing Office and help HJJ&W become the legitimate musical firm they are destined to become.

PLAYING OFFICE by HJJ&W

Went to the music market today
We did a business and came away
With a bag full of bass lines and half whistled tunes
A four to the floor that we accent with spoons
Tidy melodies all stocked and shared
Progressive chord structures harmonically paired
Time to play office, we’re cutting it fine 
Under a tight rapidly approaching deadline

I wanna be Jim
But I’m probably Dwight
Or Michael Scott at threat level midnight
It’s entertainment 
Clear for all to see
We’re victims of the industry 

But it’s okay, we are artists at heart
Our dedication needs to be to our art
We’re playing office so we can pay the bills
While in our spare time keep developing skills
Turning hobbies into business is hard
Your wits must be sharp and always on guard
Reading contracts when you’re just a bard
That makes albums in sheds in a tiny backyard 

Feeling like Tim
But acting like Brent
So much time paid for and poorly misspent 
Wake up like Dawn
Take charge like Pam
The sweetest of sounds always spread like jam
Be your own boss
Bend all the rules
Stop playing office and start playing school
Learning’s cool
We are all fools

Break the habit, break, break the habit
Chase the rabbit, chase, chase the rabbit
We’ve never had it, never, ever had it
We blinked it bolted and no one could grab it

Change the pattern, change, change the pattern
Pass the baton, pass, pass the baton
It’s bound to happen, bound, bound to happen 
Right on the seats that we’re sat on

I wanna be Jim
But I’m probably Dwight
Or Michael Scott, Threat Level Midnight all right
Feeling like Tim
But foolish like Brent
Time milked for money just to barely scrape rent
Waking to Dawn
Open like Pam
Doing the business and not falling for scams
With my red stapler
I’m going to town
Say otherwise and I’ll burn the whole building down

There's a 100% reverb setting on this - a shadow of the music you can't quite hear. See the (slightly disturbing) accompanying visuals @ https://youtu.be/pdBdZPYer60

The plight of asylum seekers needs to be addressed with integration, not differentiation.

Differentiation
Living in the shadows of a bad situation
Needing some perspective, some self evaluation
‘Cos they’ve come, so far from home

Left it all behind to find themselves some liberation
From the horrors and the memories of their humiliation
They’ve come, now they’re so far from home

Should never have come to be a blight on our humanity
Let’s rise up with some sanity, reach out with our hearts and minds

When your only hope puts a plan into motion
When your only hope lies in the fate of the ocean
Then you’re gone, and there’s no way home

Should never have come to be a blight on our humanity
Let’s rise up with some sanity, reach out with our hearts and minds

Got no time to discriminate
Gotta build a world with love not tear it down with hate
The powers in their towers have crossed the line
‘Cos the sign of the times ain’t decided by a tan line
Not too late to cooperate
Stop playing with their lives when their destiny’s at stake
Time to give them humane integration,
Time to end all differentiation

Don’t berate me with your profanities
I’d rather be a member of a society
Where they’ve come and now they’re welcomed home

Time to give them humane integration
Time to end all differentiation
Time to give them humane integration
Time to end all differentiation
