Light Up The Sky

Mourning Dove

This Just Ain't My Year

This track was written on the cusp of autumn, reflecting on how the changing in seasons can have such a visceral internal effect on us. I find that every year, the shift between seasons has a huge impact on my mood and outlook, and was in awe of how powerful nature is to move us so much. 'Evergreen' is an acknowledgement of how we have to embrace this, and that - no matter how hard we try - humans are no match for the forces of nature.

Evergreen

Sometimes it all gets too much
And you lose your head 'cause you're losing touch
And you go to the moon and you dance with the stars
'Cause there's pain that remains in the scars

On Mute

This track was recorded during lockdown with my mum recording voicenotes, it's recorded in Twi, and speaks of the importance of drums in African culture, especially with the arrival of dignitaries and kings. It speaks of my heritage as my father is of a royal household in Ghana, she refers to me using my Asante name, Kofi, the first line translates as "Kofi, you are of a royal household."

LYRICS

My philosophy
Always try things twice
Walk with me, you'll see
Noodles are so nice

My philosophy
Always try things twice
Walk with me, you'll see
Noodles, for life


I want noodles for life
They aint got no order
No straight lines running out
Just chaos no borders
Go where you want son
You'll stay with your brothers
And then at the end
you return to your mothers
Ill slip through his life
Like a fish seeks his water
Her crazy school showing
The way of the order
I'll sip and enjoy from the fruits of my Labour
The world rushes past,
we soon learn to savour
All the things that we see some things we don't
Some folks make what they got: some look back to ghosts
In the vacuum of time we can learn to reframe the grants we were granted now we must learn to share
I was young, so were you, we have all played the fool
I've been given the time and it comes out in rhyme
turning lists into ticks is my new therapy
I do things my own way, bowl of noodles and me.

My philosophy
Always try things twice
Walk with me, you'll see
Noodles are so nice

My philosophy
Always try things twice
Walk with me, you'll see
Noodles, for life

Noodles For Life

Lyrics:

You gave the benefit of the doubt,
What the hell’s that really all about? 
You know what they did,
You know they meant it. 

And there is nothing more to say,
Except one last thing if I may -
Yeah I’m no saviour,
But you’re an enabler. 

Ahhhh …

So tonight I’ll put a smile on
Looks like I’m just in time, I’m the conversation killer.

Yeah tonight I’ll take this fight on
Looks like I’m just in time, I’m the conversation killer,
I guess that makes me the sinner, don’t it?

How slight is the return?
A name, a match, I'm gonna burn 
That inner circle,
It’s a chokehold.

They sing, sing for a hero
But all I hear are echoes of delusion
A need for approval.

So tonight I’ll put a smile on
Looks like I’m just in time, I’m the conversation killer.

Yeah, tonight I’ll take this fight on
Looks like I’m just in time, I’m the conversation killer,
I guess that makes me the sinner, don’t it?

Ahhhh …

So tonight I’ll put a smile on
Looks like I’m just in time, I’m the conversation killer.

Yeah, tonight I’ll take this fight on
Looks like I’m just in time, I’m the conversation killer,
I guess that makes me the sinner, don’t it?

LYRICS:

no way
i came here to forget those things
i can't stay
but let me be un-cynical
for one more second
one more lightyear
one imploding sun
wherever this may go
it has begun

far away
far away from earthly troubles
life again
pirouettes among the corals
does every heart
does every alien
get the urge run?
wherever this may go
it has begun

a face you remember
and all those you forget
and then there’s everyone
you’ve never even met
but the question of scale
is easily dropped
as the face across the table
grows larger

no way
got no room
for any major changes
but take this thought wherever you want
and rearrange the furniture
my kidneys and my lungs
wherever this may go
it has begun

no way
and then i find a way of saying
maybe
and then i find a way of saying
yes please
and then i find a way of saying
change me
change me
change me

No Way
