Timeless feat. Mick Bolt & Video Link

Elindultál, már réges-régen, és úgy élvezed az életed,
Célod az, hogy megtaláld majd önmagadban a lényeget.
Mindig egy a cél, hogy önmagad legyél,
De itt az alkalom, hogy magad bevallhatod, talán...

...utad végén megtalálhatsz egy új világot, mi jobb lehet.
Talán...
...utad végén a csillagok közt egy apró kincset, hogy felfedezz.
Talán...
...utad végén, mit csinálsz majd, ha céljaidban már elveszel,
egy karosszékben hátra dőlve számolgatod lassan a perceket!

Úton vagy már olyan régen, és még mindig szereted az életed,
Célod az, hogy megtaláld majd a nagyvilágban a fényeket.
Mindig egy a cél, hogy önző is legyél,
De itt az alkalom, hogy a titkot megtudhatod, talán...

...utad végén megtalálhatsz egy apró házat, hol jól leszel.
Talán...
...utad végén vágyaidnak titkos tárgyát mind megveszed.
Talán...
...,de utad végén, mit csinálsz majd, ha álmaid többé nem leled.
egy karosszékben üldögélve számolgatod csak az éveket!

Mindig egy a cél, hogy erkölcsös legyél,
De itt az alkalom, hogy a titkot megvallhatod, talán...

...utad végén megtalálhatsz egy tépett zászlót, mit felvehetsz.
Talán...
...utad végén tűzben állva kis világod megmentheted.
Talán...
...,de utad végén, mit csinálsz majd, ha elvekben többé nem hiszel.
egy karosszékben álmodozva megpillantod majd a fényeket!

Utad végén / At the end of your journey

THIS LIFE I AIN’T LIVING
V1
Things are so expensive
It’s eat or pay the rent
Before my paycheck comes
My money’s already spent 

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh 

V2
This country’s in trouble 
The world has turned its’ back
Hear the people moaning 
For the hope they lack

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh 

V3
Try to do things right
Find out it’s all wrong
The men pulling the strings
Are few but they’re strong, oh

This life I ain’t living
This life I ain’t living

V4
Lock up the house tight
Another weekend alone
Nobody cares where you are
Nobody calls on the phone

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh

V5
Another broken promise
Another broken dream
Broken hearts all around
Hear the children scream

CHORUS/TAG
This life I ain’t living is killing me
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh, oh!

This life I ain’t living
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me..

Oooh-oooh-oooh, Oooh,-oooh-oooh

Verse 1
People come into our lives, then fade away like ripples in a pond
We spend time together, it feels so right, but circumstances change and they move on. 
I think about them occasionally, I wonder what they’re up to.
Sometimes I get the urge call them out of the blue.
Chorus
All those different paths that I could have taken
Now I’m lying in the bed of my own making
The clock keeps ticking every single day
I tell myself there’s got to be a better way
Verse 2
People who I haven’t spoken to in such a very long time
We drifted away and now I’m past my prime 
If I walked past them, and they saw my face, would there be any hint of recognition
Cause time has a way of transforming you like a magician

Bridge 
It feels like I’m doing time, I’m just towing the line
Trying to make it through another hard-working day
There’s so much water under that bridge, I’m dying to know what’s on the other side of that ridge, and deep down I know I’m in a prison of my own making

Verse 3
All those Dreams I never followed, I took the safe road
I turned my back on creativity and shifted into a working horse mode
I’m back in the saddle, trying to play the game
Speaking what’s on my mind
It’s a race no one asked me to enter and I’m feeling far behind

Chorus
All those different paths that I could have taken
Now I’m lying in the bed of my own making
The clock keeps ticking every single day
I tell myself there’s got to be a better way
Outro
They say that’s the way the cookie crumbles,
And life can be a series of stumbles 
And all you can do is dust yourself off and try keep right on going

Glow of War

Loud and clear folks: Watchglass do NOT use any AI in any part of their song creation. Neither pitch correction or autotune are used on Gina's vocals. All nuance and emotional expression are preserved. All songs are 100% humanmade!

Hello, thankyou for stopping by! If you had a listen and liked what you heard, the best way to help us forward in the great sea of music would be to follow us on Bandcamp if you possibly can.... really depends on whether you have a Bandcamp account. If you can't then we still very much appreciate a show of love here in the form of likes, comments and re-posts... thank you very much for these :) 
Watchglass are a duo who like exploring 
musical directions and having fun making songs and albums. We have been working as a partnership since 2017, or most of the time since then. Gina is the singer and lyricist. Mark is the guitarist and everything else and makes the songs and is the one who Gina will forever hold responsible for showing her she could not only sing well enough to front a band but also write passable, and sometimes even excellent songs. 

We have 5 albums which earned acclaim from Chief Editor Bandcamp, Joseph E Keyes:

Every Conversation in June 
(Featured in BandCamp's Best of Spring collection 2023)
“The album plays out like one long, slightly spooky fairy tale…A magic spell drifting in from lands unknown, Every Conversation in June is a quiet marvel.” - JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Beautiful Dust
“...delightfully enigmatic pop songs built from enchanting melodies and eternal optimism.” - Ben Salmon (Bandcamp Daily)
“..as hushed and evocative as a ghost story whispered around a campfire.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Raw Colours 
“It’s another irresistible album from a band that gets better with each go-round.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Longways Conversations
After listening to this album one of our fans took a dive into our back-catalog and had this to say:
"I’ll get around to writing something more formal, but I have been listening to Watchglass almost exclusively the past few weeks. I’m genuinely apologetic - songs like With a Trice, How Will You Know Me, what it means to believe, just to name a few, deserved a tonne of superlatives from myself, and I said nothing until now. Really, please pass on to Mark that his arrangements and production doesn’t go unnoticed - I delight in hearing something new each time.
You guys are seriously talented, and works class, really, and the new album is incredible. Let’s push it out there.

With a trice - that makes me teary. You’re such a nuanced singer and you guys are an amazing duo."

Wheels in an Elsewhere
"Another gorgeous new LP from Sydney's watchglass, this one branching out slightly into what Jon Hassell once called "fourth world music.""  JE Keyes Bandcamp New and Notable
