Heard this today on coolparadiso's podcast - such an awesome song

First track for FAWM 2022

Lyrics:


Time is ticking and it’s getting near 
Hold your breath and don’t give in to fear (that ain't wise)
I wonder if you’ll make it back this time 
And now we’re go for launch so count it down from five (four three)

You been away, you travelled far and wide, it got my attention 
A one way trip to Mars is quite the alibi - ain’t that right?
Tell me are you ever really satisfied
What if I built a castle for you in the sky

Bring me back a little souvenir
Racing faster than the speed of sound
To give you back your hand me downs

Did I mention that I thought you wore that well?
Once or twice
Though I think I’ll be passing on the kiss and tell
It’s oversharing
Now astrology was not the thing for me 
And though I asked you, you never took up the offer of astronomy

Bring me back a little souvenir
From when you last shed a tear 
A Martian sunset in a perfect sphere

Racing faster than the speed of sound
Give you back your hand me downs
Left out in the lost and found
Someday I’ll see you around

Martian Sunset

[UPDATE] Reviews are coming in for Judy!

“From start to finish this song packs a beautiful punch and encourages the listener to ultimately get out there and live their life to the fullest.” - Gifted Balance Records, The Study Lounge Blog

“A beautiful and pretty sounding song with a stinger ending and a great, radio friendly length, Judy has all the elements needed for a huge hit that already sounds absolutely timeless. One of our favourites in a long time.” - Send Me Your Ears
https://sendmeyourears.com/david-taro-judy/

“Representing the London music scene, David Taro is a singer, songwriter, and multi-talented performer who’s put his signature essence on his latest, ’Judy’. Keeping things genuine in the song’s prowess to tell a compelling story through imagery-filled lyricism, there’s definitely an optimism that comes through by the final notes.” - We Write About Music

Thank you for listening

LYRICS:

Judy wakes up
Sips from a cup of coffee
Runs for the bus
Same way she has forever
And if you don’t get too excited
Well, you won’t be sorry

Judy is bored
Largely ignored by colleagues
Chews on a pen
Turns back again to the spreadsheet
And if you don’t have dreams to start with
Well, they can’t get broken
And ah, they can’t get broken

Judy has friends
Katie and Ben and Emily
Known them for years
Drank cheap wine and beer in their company
But she don’t see much of them these days
They’ve all got families
And ah, they’ve all got families

Judy, if wanna live the way you wanna
Who am I to judge you
You don’t have to be like you get told to be like
Don’t need someone to love you

Judy comes home
Has dinner alone in her bedroom
Washes her plate
Stays up til late with the TV
And when she turns the lights off
Well, she won't be sorry
Ah, she won't be sorry
Ah, she won't be sorry

Judy

There goes the sun
But still we forge ahead
In our carriages 
which are running out of steam

We’ll endure
After you my friends
And see things
That you have never seen

Just two twins
Ever further from home
Two twins 
Drifting further apart

Momentum
For trillions of years
With knowledge       
Primed to impart

Per aspera ad astra
Here comes the sun
Per aspera ad astra
There goes the sun
Per aspera ad astra
Here comes the sun
Per aspera ad astra
There goes another one

Per Aspera Ad Astra

ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO YOU (Cooper/Jones)
All Rights Reserved 2022

I’ve walked down the path of destruction 
I’ve walked down the path that’s true
 I’ve been a long way round to the place I’ve found 
'Cos all roads lead back to you 

I’ve been to the edge of the cliffs of doom 
And I've stared long and hard at the view 
I’ve paid the full fare to get away from there
 But all roads lead back to you
All roads lead back to you...

I’ve tried to start new voyages
 I’ve crossed the river wide
 I can get away from concrete and clay 
But not how I feel inside
I’ve booked on the train to who knows where 
It’s a one-way ticket through 
However far I go it remains so
 All roads lead back to you
All roads lead back to you...

Now I’ve run away from my memories 
I’ve done as much I can do
But I’m resigned in my heart and mind
 All roads lead back to you
I’m a-prayin' you’re only one step away
 From comin' back from out of the blue
 But as for me, my destiny 
Means that all roads lead to you 

All roads lead back to you 
All roads lead back to you...

All Roads Lead Back to You

The Night Has Just Begun (with Leah McCoy)

lyrics:
 takeout containers
movies all night
“Crimes Of The Future”
yeah, David’s alright

and i won’t be back again

gone for five hours
won’t answer the phone
probably worse things
than being alone

and i won’t be back again

if it never comes together
then it can’t fall apart
I don’t need your help
to break my heart

bottle of faygo
vapes on the floor
nothing in Ypsi
is worth dying for 

and I won’t be back again

we’ll have fun tomorrow
cause that’s what they’re for
there’s only the present
not a moment more

and i won’t be back again

if it never comes together
then it can’t fall apart
I don’t need your help
to break my heart

If I Was a Bird
