you must have some 'good' dreams hehe... liked it toby :)

Brook (small stream)

Change

I see it now here in front of me 
Dead birds in  a burning  tree 
Where is the life ?
Where are the laughts ?
Is it to late to dream another day  

Children die in poor makeshift boats
In a sad sea where the shreds of hope float
Where is the life
Where are the laughts
Is it to late to dream a better day  

refrain : Oh nights
I can't see the light
Oh days 
Ican't fight  the blight
Evil and hell  are in closed eyes
We can’t  stop the sun dimise
Prayers and spells lost in noises 
Nothing can stop, nothing can stop  the dark tide rise


Blood and tears dry in the heat of the desert
Fear and hate rot in the depths of hearts
Where is the life
Where are the laughts
Is it to late to dream another day  

Neither skin nor breath resists the blind fire
Of the souls  remains only a dull ire
Where is the life
Where are the  laughts
Is it to late to dream a better  day

Dream A Better Day ?

Bins
Who put out the bins?
You know they left us in
Sorted, scraped thrown away
Rabid dogs can have their day
It’s the new decree
They keep us blind, they’ll never see
We never got a shout out
The big news black out

Let the masses break out
Come on come on break out
Let’s all break out
Come on come on break out

Who documents the fall?
When there’s bullet holes in the walls
Clear out the scumbags
All we had we don’t have
Have you got any loose change?
Well we’re running to the end game
The futures your shame
Fight fire with fire

Let the masses break out
Come on come on break out
Let’s all break out
Come on come on beak out

When it all hits the fan
They keep us all penned in
Gagged, bound, hands tied
Surrounded by blue lines
No us and them, just us
The power that corrupts
System fail, reboot
Delivered in a smart suit

Let the masses beak out
Come on come on break out
Ratus Ratus break out
Bus passes break out

Who put out the bins?
Who put out the bins?
Who put out the bins?
They left us in

Bins

Bins - Radio Edit

Recorded by Billy Foster at Snap Studios and mastered by James Trevascus at Bakewell Audio, the song fuses intimate verses with big anthemic choruses, charting an internal monologue of the author battling with himself and ultimately choosing life over self-destructive behaviour: 

‘You could be the enemy, I’m not - When the fever stops I just Bleed a lot - I’m not the enemy, not your enemy’

To celebrate their releases, The Lunar Keys often put their little money where their big mouths are - in support of good causes. For example, ‘Silent Ricochet’ aided the arrival of 900 trees (and counting), whilst ‘Stop This’, ‘Oxygen Type’, ‘Once’ and ‘Maniac’ raised money for the charities Nordoff Robbins, Oxygen, TheTrussellTrust and the nurses at The Royal Surrey Hospital respectively. 

The release of BLEED will continue this Lunar tradition: Inspired by recent events and, well, the song’s title, the band pledges to donate £1 for each of the first 250 airplays or reviews that BLEED receives to the Haemophilia Society. So, if you like BLEED and are good enough to play it on your show, please let us know, so that we can up the tally and big you up on our socials. 

Thanks to great DJs like your good self, previous Lunar Keys releases have enjoyed over 5000 plays from more than 400 radio stations including Planet Rock, BBC Wales, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing, where 5 of our singles enjoyed ‘Track of the Day’.

We are deeply grateful to anyone supporting our music and always happy to do interviews or recorded intros for your show. 

And if you’d like to check us out live, we’ll always be happy to put you + 1 on our guest list, as well as donate a couple of tickets, if you’d like to run an on air competition: We’ll next be appearing live on Saturday, the 22nd of June at The Exeter Cavern.

‘The Lunar Keys greatly impress with epic alt-rock anthems and trade in strong, direct songs with memorable tunes.’ Tony Hardy, Glastonbury Festival ETC Judge

‘Brilliant, a classic feel with a contemporary twist from a band well worth knowing about.’  Stereo Stickman

And here’s some more info about the band and the release: 

The Lunar Keys are 4 anxious types from Guildford (UK) with too many tunes and nervous energy trapped in their psyches not to be in this band. The band perfected its line up in February 2020 and have had a blast ever since, honing their craft and building a dedicated following.

Previous Lunar Keys releases have enjoyed hundreds of reviews and more than 535,000 views and streams.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and read.

Lyrics: 	

Eye to eye
Yeah we're standing tall
Blood will paint the sky
Rain until we fall
If I draw your heart
Can I have it all

Fight & Scream until I dream
My jealousy is overpowering
Then it cuts

Just like I
Bleed a lot - the feeling stops
You could be the enemy - I'm not
When the fever stops - I just Bleed a lot
I'm not the enemy - not your enemy
Oh oh oh


Blinding lights
Thunder in the wind
Burning day and night
Underneath my skin

Fight & scream until I dream
My jealousy is overpowering
Then it cuts

Just like I
Bleed a lot - the feeling stops
You could be the enemy - I'm not
When the fever stops - I just Bleed a lot
I'm not the enemy - not your enemy
Oh oh oh

Open your eyes
Watch my pain run through you
Cut me like a knife

Just like I
Bleed a lot - the feeling stops
You could be the enemy

Just like I
Bleed a lot - the feeling stops
You could be the enemy - I'm not
When the fever stops - I just Bleed a lot
I'm not the enemy - not your enemy
Oh oh oh

Bleed

Enough of this pop malarky, back to my usual dark cinematic oddity.  And a welcome return to remixing the ever-excellent, The Workday Release, and his somber, haunting song, 'The Ghost Here is Me'.  Catch the official release:

Kept the vocal and built the production from the ground up.  Only the 1st verse and chorus was tracked, so I added additional pre-chorus, bridge, and breakdown before finally repeating the chorus.  Discovered the bassline by accident playing around on the keyboard.  From there, the 'Get Carter' inspired tablas arrived.  These three elements formed the core of the production; with bass and talba timed off the vocal, and all the other instrumentation timed off those three core elements.

Getting the re-structure and fundamental timing between the three elements took the most time.  The additional instrumentation was inspired by the acid jazz soundtracks of the 70s - such as 'Get Carter' and 'Dirty Harry'.  The challenge was not allowing the production to become 'too groovy'.  The lyrics have a dark, fatalism to them; the production needed to reflect that.   A selection of reference tracks can be found on this handy playlist I created to work from:

Once the production was done, I handed the mix off to my good friend and mix engineer, Kip (it was his idea to use the Jim Croce songs as a reference for the vocal processing).  He very kindly agreed to work to my stereo design.  Not all mixers would have been willing or indeed able.  Kip gave the mix a size and drama that I couldn't, particularly in the chorus.  Check his work @toilettunes.

I then mastered the mix to a fairly competitive -11.6 LUFS; making sure to strike a balance with dynamics, between driving the production without squeezing the air out of it.
