This is so beautiful Martin...I love Alphio & his music...by the time I worked up the courage to invite him to collab with me, he was pretty sick, but a more gracious person I have never met,he joined me & Tom Adams with his trademark djembe to make for one of my most treasured SC experiences...I love his arrangement  here showcasing a wide range of his musical genius, a word I don't use lightly, but it also applies to your lyrics, singing & production...The two of you together taking me to a natural mystic state of mind....

Wonderful track Martin!!! It shows how talented Alphio was. You did an awesome job too. Thanks for highlighting this track. Hearing it 1st time and love it!!!!

Wow! Martin,Wonderful! Your singing voice is always powerful and gentle!!

Heads Up
      Lyrics by Martin Jones

I've got to say that it's quite disturbing
Time and time again
Same old thing is occurring
Sometimes it seems 
No matter how hard I try
Same old illusion
keeps poking me in the eye

I want to stand up 
And defeat this creepy feeling
Each time I stand 
My head just keeps on reeling

Heads up
Stand up
Got to move to higher ground
Can't get distracted
Every time I take a look around

What I see
A lot of pain and misery
I'm so convinced
That's not the way it's supposed to be

I see a brighter future
One that's good for you and for me
Only comes with understanding
And a little bit of empathy

You can't see when you close your eyes
And you can't hear when you cover your ears
And you can't cry
When they're no more tears

You can't see when you close your eyes
And you can't hear if you cover your ears
You cannot cry
When they're no more tears
