From the 2nd EP Today Is All. Released 2nd December 2016.
Electronic / Pop / Hip Hop.
Track 3 of 5.

I wanted to do a hip hop song but in my own way.. The lyrics are trying to say that there's a lot rubbish going in the world right now but we can still be good people - and for myself, I don't believe I need to be part of a religion to be a good person, to be moral or to do the right thing. 

Lyrics:
A wise owl man once said this to me
Ask questions; find out your history
Stop repeating and reliving misery
Or others before us suffered for nothing

As a civilisation we’re failing
Jailing addicts, while bankers be staying
In power with a fresh pot of sterling
And if they screw up again, no worries!

It’s not history in school but propaganda
Carefully selected for your nation’s agenda
So you’ll kill any innocent when they send ya
Into the next war, more young defenders

Been talking ‘bout climate change since the sixties
If we wake up, can we still fix this?
American senators still think its fiction
And you can’t argue with fools man, thats a given

I won’t force feed my child religion
Problems are fixed with actions not praying
I think that the paradise is us being alive
Heaven and hell can wait till the afterlife

Be good cos you’re a good human being x3
What’ll ya do when ya gods not watching?

Be good cos you’re a good human being x 3
What’ll ya do when there’s no one watching?

Be good cos you’re a good human being x 3
Not cos heaven or hell might be waiting

Are they watching you now?
Are you checking yourself?
Are you holding it down?
Are you living through living hell?

Everybody's got their own story
I shouldn't criticise how others are coping
If you've seen the light in God and you feel saved
I'll respect your choices to the grave, but
I'm more interested in truth than faith
If there's nothing after we die and I slaved
all those years feeling guilty,
and chipping off bits of myself #to be
better at some values that i never bought into
to be praying and powerless and waiting
for someone else to sort it all out, i'm just sayin'
i need to make the most of this life
i don't know whats next
so i'm living in this life

El Rimadero en Música Nómada - Priveyt x Jota Mayúscula

In 2002 I put my name forward for a band development course at Red Tape Studios in Sheffield. Anyone selected would work with the music management and production students over a nine month period on recording and playing live along with seminars on all aspects of the industry. I submitted a demo under the name bRoKeN fAcE (didn't like the idea of being a solo artist so came up with an alter ego) and after playing a showcase set at the studio, I was picked for the course. It was a great way of meeting people and my first experience of professional recording, working with Tom Henthorne who I have remained friends with ever since and am now working with again on my current projects

World's Too Quiet

To show the creative process of a song, here's the three versions of our first single 'Blessed Or Cursed'. It started as a rough sketch played into a dictaphone back in 2001 under the name 'Insomnia Relief', developed into a demo recorded in a garden over the hot summer of 2002 and was worked on from time to time over the next 18 years until we recorded it properly last year for the album 'Spring The Locks'. From small seeds...
