Title track of my album UPSTREAMED is about dealing with matrix that was created for us and breaking out of it.
It's a celebration of maintaining individuality and realness.

Dav Friend - Upstreamed

This album is a portrayal of my journey. How I got out of the very dark, thorny experiences I had accumulated and suppressed in my life.. through therapy of love, music and nature, finding God, truth and how I got on the right path. I sing about my experiences, thoughts, unrequited and broken loves.
The record is called UPSTREAMED. It's my philosophy, faith and lifestyle. I believe that in order to be happy, we must discover ourselves, develop our talents, good qualities, and not fall into a large, unconscious, artificial crowd.
I have created my own stream, which goes opposite the main and corrupt one, in which I do not feel well. At the same time, however I am sailing (without interfering) with the flow of life that naturally carries me, where it believes I should be at the moment. I believe we are all one, but no one is the same.
The album consists of three parts, which begin with instrumental interludes. The genres of the record are quite diverse. Most of the songs are based on Pop / R&B influences. However, soul, EDM, disco - funk, indie and hip hop also appear. I would like to thank all the influences that helped me create this album.
Nature and love for the inspiration, My family for the support, Ogi feel the beat for amazing beats, mentoring and faithful friendship, Jacek Branný and Radek Žák for excellent work on songs production, Iveta Holas for great vocal coaching.
Thank God. I love you with all my heart.

Fulfilled Departure

INFP
Folks don't understand me                                                                       
but I guess I don't care
I'd rather be myself than someone else
I can't do the role they want me to play
but now baby listen cause I got a lot to say
in school I was bullied, they said I'm too strange
boys don't sing and dance, only girls make-up their face
that got me wonder about utopian innocent child
who was just messing around, enjoying his life

We´re gonna make it
Through the struggles through the pain
We gonn make it through the rain
You know we´re never gonna fake it
Although everytime they say your name
I turn red and walk away
babe I know we can find our way
You can´t define me
but you can call me INFP

Introverted feeling, extroverted thinking
Dreamer, creative mind, always search for meaning
Emphatic and intuitive, finding good in everyone
Being able to smeel tragedy from miles away inside
Living in a fairytale like a pure child
Bountiful and ditermind, entwined with a big heart
Don´t you dare say naive and unrealistic
We just wanna peace and love and also bit of mistic

We´re gonna make it
Through the struggles through the pain
We gonn make it through the rain
You know we´re never gonna fake it
Although everytime they say your name
I turn red and walk away
babe I know we can find our way
You can´t define me
but you can call me INFP

I Don´t care bout your likes
I just care bout your heart
When I see that shallowness
All I can say is Yikes

What matters is your values
What matters is your dreams
What matters is integrity
Get out with your silly memes



We´re gonna make it
Through the struggles through the pain
We gonn make it through the rain
You know we´re never gonna fake it
Although everytime they say your name
I turn red and walk away
babe I know we can find our way
You can´t define me
but you can call me INFP

INFP

Sometimes in life things don´t go the way we want
But despit that we have to keep on goin oh
It´s alright to change and it´s cool to explore
Myshy once told me that´s your reward, so go for it, receive it all

Be happy for what you have
Clean it all up in your head
Hold your head up and be proud
Living this way takes some time
So wait for it and taste the sweetness of being kind

Sometimes in life we have to do things we don´t wanna do
You better ignore all that crap and just search for the truth
To celebrate you have to wait, you have to wait
Its gon be sooner than you think, keep on dancing, be the king
I like that vibe that you bring, that you bring, that you bring
Now it´s just you and me, you and me and your drink
Laying on grass in the nature, that´s my home
I have no time for nasty witches anymore

Treat me kind, treat me kind
there´s no longer you and I
Im cutting you out of my life X2


Be happy for what you have
Clean it all up in your head
Hold your head up and be proud
Living this way takes some time
So wait for it and taste the sweetness of being kind

I love you and I hate at the same time
I always thought that she would be just all mine
But it´s not like that and I´m going crazy
But to say I love you I´m too lazy

Being Kind

All I see is numbers all I see is strict
Where is the actual love
Once there was a time when freedom meant actual captivity
Everyday to factory I went
Sitting there like body without soul
kept my emotions in
just to maintain control  

Going more insane after each day
I didn't know how to get out of that circle alive
Surviving through hell 
Every night I yelled inside HOOO 

All I see is numbers all I see is strict
Where is the actual love
I think they made this matrix
To destroy your spirit
And scatter it all around

Ref: I suddenly lost her, I suddenly lost her
        I suddenly lost my baby
        I suddenly lost her, I suddenly lost her

Losing the will to live can be quite hard
Imagine being helpless without anyone that would care enough
Then I was saved and became a star
It really looked so good but only good from a far
I never realized the importance of love
Until I was saved by the God 
Misunderstood but a star           
That's why I don't have to cry 

Now all I see is beauty all I see is bright
I found the actual love
And God created nature to put the spirit in you
I'm flying like a dove

Ref: Free as a peaceful dove X3
        
I finally found love, I finally found love
I finally found my baby
I finally found love, I finally found love

All I see is numbers all I see is masks
Where will this made up hoax become a past
We're tired of the testing
We're tired of a fear
When you'll accept love this shit will disappear
We're standing as a beings hand in hand
When you'll pray to God there'll never be an end of love

The Actual Love

Electric Entry

I had to persist in my life couple of times
One experience made me mad other made smile
I was put on this earth irreversibly
My honesty belongs to me inherently

I never envisioned you to be part of my life
Cause with us there wasn't chemistry at first sight
We've overcome our trauma we've overcome our pain
I can easily say you fell on me like rain
Because we're both signs of an air
It helps our spirits to be as carefree as our hair
Sometimes I can't stop thinking of you
You left me disenchanted but I still love you
Ref: everyday, every night, every moment of my life
I miss your face
I miss your smile
Miss your craziness
My ambivalent one

Oh you made me feel like an outsider
I just need to let you know
Last night thinking of you
My heart gone wild 
You gave me two kisses on the cheek, goes hard so high
Then you said that's what friends do
But you speak in different language don't know if that's really true
I can pass this exam even though it's hard
Then I'll finally forget bout my spooky past
Ref: everyday, every night, every moment of my life
I miss your face
I miss your smile
Miss your craziness
My ambivalent one

Why am I so indecisive, guess that's just my Libra thing
You came too close my girl 
Obviously you're gone again
Just get out of my head, enough have been said
Dahling I won't shed a tear 

We're so compatible, but can't be together
You're constantly hurting my soul, both can do better
And I try to let you go, though it's kinda hard
Just to do so

Ambivalent One

I love you so

Were we meant for each other
Has our love got any purpose at all
Baby... When was even our last call?
I don't even remember how u smelled like
During your last visit in my house
You laughed profoundly... like a child

Ref: ohohohoh 
I love you so ooooo
Girl let me know
If u do so oooou
There's something about you that I can't explain
Don't wanna be shady to you even though I got a lot to say
Please baby tell me...do u wanna be by my side

The clouds above asked me what's the purpose of this life?
But I think, that life is the actual meaning right?
Why am I even sitting on this grass right now?
And you popping in my head all the time
Without you I can't see the light

Ref: ohohohoh 
I love you so ooooo
Girl let me know
If u do so oooou
There's something about you that I can't explain
Don't wanna be shady to you even though I got a lot to say
Please baby tell me...do u wanna be by my side
There's something about you that I can't explain
Don't wanna be shady to you even though I got a lot to say
Please baby tell me...do u wanna be by my side

There's a love hate thing going on between me and you
I trusted you, you broke my heart
So what I'm supposed to do?

Ref: ohohohoh 
I love you so ooooo
Girl let me know
If u do so oooou
There's something about you that I can't explain
Don't wanna be shady to you even though I got a lot to say
Please baby tell me...do u wanna be by my side

I Love U So
