Nice track. Vocals remind me Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorilaz

I love the chord progression and the harmony vocals on this track.  Very nice!

love the piano melody subtly playing in the background here

Another cracking tune. Really enjoy your sound.

[Rough translation]
FOR THE SAKE OF A QUIET LIFE*
In the mirror she sees her mother
In the mirror she sees her husband
She sees her brother
She sees her father
As in an interrogation
Their eyes a blinding light
They ask no questions
They see through her 
and judge
They form the reflection
Of her appearance
Where she herself 
Has disappeared

For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her thoughts
For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her mind
For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her feelings
For the sake of a quiet life
That has never been quiet

Every day she’s thin and modest
Every day she’s nice and smart
Makes herself useful
Being everything for everyone
She is who she thinks
They want her to be

She is who she thinks they want her to be
She is who she thinks they want her to be

Once she colored outside the lines
Danced and sang as if no one was watching
While playing she saw boundaries disappear
And her curiosity won over fear
Now she dares not to choose herself
She is guided by other people's taste
Love and friendship, you can lose
So she adapts and she perfectly fits
She is really perfect

She can't find the courage
She does what she always does

For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her thoughts
For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her mind
For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her feelings
For the sake of a quiet life
That has never been quiet

She is who she thinks they want her to be
She is who she thinks they want her to be

* Literally translated it is: for the sake of sweet peace
(that has never been sweet).

Om de lieve vrede

OM DE LIEVE VREDE (mastered)

Saw a film called 'On The Beach' when I was young: a post apocalypse movie made in 1959 starring Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, Ava Gardner and Anthony Perkins. Perhaps the first post apocalyptic movie? It scared the hell out of me...


ON THE BEACH

turn the lights out and then
turn them all back on again
taking the time out till the
time has run out again
time to make out 
all those
disparate choices
and those
distant voices
we can hear….

what’s the news is it time to    
save the world again
who’s the fool when you’re just 
dialling your details in
a vote for no one means you’re 
saving someone
just so 
long as that someone 
isn’t here….

before you know it…
it’s drifted all away
before you know it
we swept it all
dreamt it all away…

start the engines
and then
stoke the fires
and then
watch the smoke 
just disappear…

wake up
it’s the morning after
we’re all here, just on the beach
time’s up, 
this is your hereafter
it’s all here, just out of reach…
it’s all here, all just on the beach…


doing the load out and then
bringing it all back in again
Giving directions and then
Taking them back again…
time to make out 
all those
disparate choices
and those
distant voices
we can hear….
start the engines
and then
stoke the fires
and then
watch the smoke 
just disappear…

before you know it…
it’s drifted all away
before you know it
we swept it all
dreamt it all away…

Broken Down

One morning I woke up and saw my eyes were stolen. Stolen by thiefs in the night. They came from the beach and in 14 minutes my eyes were gone. Brutally ripped out with a screwdriver - never to be retrieved.

No Eyes (Instrumental)

A ginnel is a passageway between red brick terraced houses, specifically in Yorkshire, where I grew up. The ones near where I lived had peculiar sound reflections that always fascinated me when I was little. Macalla is Irish Gaelic for echo, in a nod to my Irish roots…
