Lyrics

I wonder how you're feeling
There's ringing in my ears
And no one to relate to 'cept the sea
Who can I believe in?
I'm kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force
Who do I phone?

The stars are out and shining
But all I really wanna know

I want you to show me the way
I want you day after day
Every day

Well, I can see no reason
You're living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
I'm swimming in a circle
I feel I'm going down
There has to be a fool to play this part

Someone thought of healing
And all I really wanna know

Oh won't you show me the way
I want you to show me the way
I want you day after day
I want you to show me the way
Every day (every day)
Every day
Oh oh (oh oh)

Oh, won't you show me the way
(Show me the way, show me the way)
I want you to show me the way
I want you day after day (I want you, I want you)
I want you day after day (I want you)
I want you

Show Me The Way

Tomorrow will bring something new, so leave today as a memory

Dans l’ océan de nos dérives 
Texte : Anne-Marie Leonard       
Chant : Julia           


Dans l’ océan de nos dérives
On perd tous la notion du temps,
Retrouverons-nous la rive
Où accoster dans le présent ?

On perd tous la notion du temps
Où se trouve notre chemin ?
Où accoster dans le présent
Alors qu’on s’ est lâché la main ?

Où se trouve  notre chemin
Dans le torrent de nos questions ?
Alors qu’on s’ est lâché la main,
Pas de réponse digne de ce nom.

Dans le torrent de nos questions
On s’ enfonce dans l’ opacité,
Pas de réponses digne de ce nom,
On perd toute lucidité.

Dans l’ océan
On perd tous la notion du temps,
Dans l’ océan
                                                Pas de réponses digne de ce nom,


On s’ enfonce dans l’ opacité,
Dans les ténèbres des mensonges,
On perd toute lucidité,
On a oublié nos beaux songes.

Dans les ténèbres des mensonges
Il n’ y a plus de perspective,
On a oublié nos beaux songes
Dans l’ océan de nos dérives .

Dans L’ Océan De Nos Dérives   Leonard / Illos

This song started as a jam session between me and Nahlej creating a nu metal sound by mixing hip hop, alternative with metal. Simon added further guitar licks and a solo. Our working title "Heavy Jam" inspired StevieJ to rap lyrics about drug abuse due to low self esteem and mental health issues. All thoughts running through the narrator's mind mind created a sticky heavy jam. Instead of tackling the issues, he prefers to numb the pain with meds and weed. This doesn't solve any problems, so better not try! 
Starting with a guitar theme, I could never have guessed the heaviness of the instrumental and lyrics both. Thanks for your collab, I am very pleased with the result!

The artwork has been generated with DALL E 2, but I invested some work cleaning it up and adding details with a graphics tablet.

==== LYRICS ====

I'm not ready for the world today
Already going through hell today
So anyone who tries to talk to me
They'll be hell to pay

I got a mental list of all the shit 
I'm dealing with
I know I'm not the only one 
who'll be feeling this nah

I don't need politics 
adding to the stress
Finished school time ago
so why another test

Trying to focus on me just being the best 
but I can't 
when there's so much
shit running through my head

Numbing meds so I don't feel the pain
Even little miss sunshine 
couldn't stop the rain

Ain’t lifting the finger, nah
Not today, so get away from me
seems you got a lot to say
and I forgot to say

I'm staying in one place 
all it takes 
is one look at my face

I'm not playing,
There’s nothing you can do
to change that
So just stay back

and accept that that's who I am
Staying in bed with a head like
Like heavy jam

Yeah, heavy jam
I’m in bed with a head like
Like heavy jam

The doctor's prescription 
just ain't enough for me
I need some king size Rizla
and some Godfather OG

Yeah, now I can say that my life
is so sweet
Just one thing missing,
that one thing's me

I'm existing 
but I'm not living
I'm resisting 
cause I'm not giving

Anything away 
about the state of my brain 
I'm just saying 
you can't take it away

Like all good artists
I'll just harness the pain
and create a set of lyrics
that make people say
Man, I feel the same way

I'm sure I'll smoke my way through this
Always the optimist, 
advice from the doctor is 
at some point you're gonna
have to put a stop to this

Will I listen? 
Nah that's not who I am
It's just another day in bed
with a head like heavy jam

Heavy Jam
Heavy Jam
I’m in bed with a head like
In bed with a head like
Heavy jam

I'm not ready for the world today
Already going through hell today
I'm not ready for the world today
Already going through hell today

So anyone who tries to talk to me
They'll be hell to pay

Heavy Jam

The Machine Stops was probably the first science fiction story I ever read. I must have been 10 or 11 and I was sat in an aunt’s front room, rather bored. I picked up a Reader’s Digest compilation and this was the first story. I didn’t move for couple of hours. The story was written by E. M. Forster; it was first published back in 1909 when airships, telegraphy and telephony were state of the art (i.e. before mass radio broadcasting and television).
He described a world where people live a sedentary and solitary life, communicating with others almost entirely through The Machine; which also caters for their needs: food, water and energy is delivered to them. People don’t need to leave their homes, so they rarely do. They live to share ideas and opinions, which are usually rather shallow because they are not rooted in real experiences or deep learning. Does this sound familiar? Anyway, I think you can tell from the title that this comfortable state of affairs does not last…

The Machine Stops

After months of work, I present my 4th collaboration with Chuncho Productions, and the official soundtrack of "COMPLETELY UNREMARKABLE", a wrestling film full of violence, drama and heartbreak. It's definitely worth a watch and this soundtrack is definitely worth a listen!

I experimented a lot with this one, playing around with rock elements, electronic noise and ambient soundscapes. Together, it's a mix of lots of cool genres and ideas in one, with every track bringing something different to the table. I'm excited to finally share this with you all after finishing it back in April of this year. Thank you guys so much for the support and Carlos for putting together this amazing film for me to work on. Hope y'all love it!

- EVERETT
