[Verse 1]
I could sit on the floor in a room painted with halos
It has the walls covered with frames of absent tomorrows
I could stand in the backyard and reach the arc of a rainbow
Holding flares, firing glares, the spaces are shallow
I barely care, I’m not aware, of random scenarios

[Bridge]
I read the news on the paper, inside a bunker I shelter, is it real, I freeze
Under malicious laughters, under the words of disaster, is it real, I believe
Let me think…

[Chorus]
And now I'm breathing in an ocean from the pages of an altar. Undertow
And now I'm moving up with caution. With my head between my shoulders. Your cold 

[verse 2]
I can see something bright, a sort of light in the dark of the forest
With folded wings, and it sings a welcoming harvest
I could stare at the prize, I close my eyes, the dream of a contest
I play my part and trust my heart, Ignore the rest
I barely care, I’m not aware, I'll do my best

[Bridge]

[Chorus ]
And now I'm breathing in an ocean from the pages of an altar. Undertow
And now I'm calling out the station from my planet to another. No sound
And now I'm moving up with caution. With my head between my shoulder. Your cold

Get In The River

Let's Go!

A simple tribute to the four seasons of the year, reminding us of their wonderful aspects, such as the sound of fallen leaves or birdsongs, but also storms and terrible forest fires.

North Song

The painting is ‘The Course of Empire’ by Thomas Cole (1801 – 1848).

Say a prayer and don’t despair about the cost of living crisis 
Cos life’s not fair and they don’t care about the rising prices 
The millionaires and billionaires wield their wicked powers
they own the shares, they don’t pay the fares, they’re not working longer hours

  They contaminate, discriminate, and revel in their sleaze 
  the permafrost is lost, but we still have the wage freeze 

the bankers are all bigots, experts in exploitation 
oil tankers and their frigates reeking eco-devastation
while we reimburse the nurses with the joy of food banks 
and the curse of empty purses and our hollow huge thanks

  You’ll find that it’s impossible to get paid any less
  can’t save no money saving lives for the NHS

The CEOs who freely chose to bolster their careers 
They’re mosquitoes in tuxedos bloodsucking profiteers 
who smoke cigars with glowing hearts, toasting market forces  
They’re Oligarchs, they’re greedy sharks, they’re feeding on the corpses

  The ambulance abandoned us, so now we need a hearse
  Yes the times they are a-changing… but they’re changing for the worse

I blame the vloggers and the bloggers, I don’t “like” and I don’t “subscribe”
All that scrolling and a trolling, through soundbites and diatribes
and we fixate on the clickbait that seems to be hell-bent 
on dictating that the content fuels our discontent 

        All the species being ghosted, wiped out like dinosaurs
        While we’re busy being offended, and fighting culture wars

Shopaholic fashionistas with their selfies and their memes 
And reams of influencers beat us senseless by extremes
it’s a trash-bag full of hashtags, rubbish flowing in our streams
algorithms causing schisms and addiction to our screens

        We’re the masters of our destiny, but it isn’t as it seems 
        Who’s pushing who’s buttons? Are we slaves to the machines?

Narcissistic mystics with their conspiracy theories
Going viral in a spiral of Netflix mini series
And woeful social media, where profiles are a deepfake
It’s a form of schizophrenia, like a hollywood remake

      We make a virtue of our vanity, embracing the absurd
      with virtual reality, to replace the real world

Cost Of Living Crisis

Hazy Metal

One of my favorite projects by Morry back in the late 80s/early 90s. Tascam, probably around the time we had an 8-track cassette. Hope our SC friends are doing well!
