Existential Playboy

What’s your kind and can we bind?
If it’s blinding, then it’s light
Who decides when you’re alive?
If you’re striving, you will thrive

It’s in my head
My good thoughts end up dead
It’s in my head
My good thoughts end up dead
It’s in my head
It’s in my head
It’s in my head

You can find where to go
If you give up your control 
Spin your mind, vertigo
You must give up your control
Oh, your control

And pour your blue skies into mine
Pour your blue skies into mine
Restore all the light
Restore all the light
Restore all the light
Restore all the light

What’s your kind and can we bind?
If it’s blinding, then it’s light

It’s in my head
My good thoughts are not dead
It’s in my head
My good thoughts are not dead
It’s in my head
It’s in my head 
It’s in my head
It’s in my head
It’s in my head
My good thoughts are not dead
It’s in my head

Surf Rock Is Dead - Away Message

Another World 

People come people go
Where their true self lies no one knows
With every breath
I’ll be there too

So tell me how
You think this ends
We kill our time
And follow trends
I hope we all look cool in our tomb

All we know
All the lies the lies
Are all we have

All I want is to stay inside
But someone cares
So I might try
To face that fact and to give some of it back

People come people go
Where their true self lies no one knows
With every breath
I’ll be there too

All we know
All the lies the lies
Are all we have

Floating by unconsciously 
Shedding all antipathy 
Seeing all the loss you miss the growth

All we know
All the lies the lies
Are all we have

Another World

Solid Ties

Whose to say we’re gonna stay in touch
It doesn’t mean much
Maybe to you
The city is so fitting all your friends
They’re barely hanging on
Hanging by a thread 

List of things to do
Is how I view
Keeping with the times
Set the scene aside
Who would stick around?
Beer buddies never die

Everyone tries 
On city time
All that I want
True solid ties

Immaculate 

Is it really in our hands?
Bring it back where it began
Words like laser beams that cut you to your core
We’ve all seen our better days
The human age is never tamed
I can feel the wind blowing down

Do you feel the same?
Who is there to blame?
Do you feel the same?
The one thing free from decay
This moment….

One move forward two steps back
The whole and part share epitaph 
One by one our bits are broken down and down
If you feel your days before ya
I can feel the wind blowing down

Do you feel the same?
Who is there to blame?
Do you feel the same?
The one thing free from decay
This moment….

Who is there to blame?
Do you feel the same?
Who is there to blame?
Do you feel the same?

Our Time

They saw you for what you were
A thief in disguise no more
I rode into the blur
You try to stay in your bed
But everyone’s in their head
 
Our time is the night time
Waiting for no one
 
Deep in the cold we stay
No money there either way
When will be the day
The sun is still rolling round
And no one there hears a sound
 
Our time is the night time
Waiting for no one
 
Where’s my certainty
The fire that’s within me
It’s all I’ll look back upon
Before we’re dead
 
Oh I feel it in my bones
Can’t make it on my own
The fear within
Comes through again
 
Our time is the night time
Waiting for no one

Diabolik

Time can put you in the dark, you refuse to see
Charlie takes you to the mark, it’s not where you want to be

I feel it too
I’ve had enough of it
Try to tiptoe
Round the fire
It’s on

You are now the enemy
Walking on my own

Come home
Find you
On the 
Bathroom floor
You won’t ever see the light
You said everything’s alright

I feel it too
I’ve had enough of it
Try to tiptoe
Round the fire
It’s on

You are now the enemy 
Walking on my own again
Something says you’re dead to me
Walking on my own

Diabolik

Day Ripper

From the many musical lives of artist Glenn Donaldson emerges The Reds, Pinks and Purples, a project that sifts out the purest elements of pop music and in the process chronicles the point of view of an assiduous songwriter. His new album "Uncommon Weather" is both an elusive portrait of San Francisco -- during one of its fluctuations as an untenable place for musicians and artists -- and also a self-portrait of a songwriter who has dispatched another treasured collection of timeless sounding DIY-pop songs. Self-recorded and mostly self-performed, the music on "Uncommon Weather" continuously reckons with the influence of The Television Personalities' Dan Treacy, as well as The Cleaners From Venus, Blueboy, East River Pipe, and the Cherry Red and Flying Nun labels. Beautiful, mysterious and rather perfect pop.
