SWEET PERCERTION

Ever been in a great relationship that is so good on most dimensions but there's one thing that becomes a recurring point that turns into a conflict each time it comes up? You ignore it for a while and then something small sets off the whole issue again.... That's what Circles is about.

Track 187 - A slow buildup into a faster and more intricate formula.

Infused

Doing Fine

Listen to me
Every word I say
It's your life to live
So make the rules to play
Chart your own path
Don't let them choose for you
And always trust yourself 
no matter what you choose

Cause you're alright
You're doing fine
Oh, you're alright
You're doing fine

I spent so much time 
living by the rules
But all those rules taught me 
Were new ways to lose
So don't be like
Take nothing on the chin
Bravely set forth
And find new ways to win

Cause you're alright
You're doing fine
Oh, you're alright
You're doing fine

Listen to me
Every word I say
It's your life to live
So make the rules to play
Chart your own path
Don't let them choose for you
And always trust yourself 
no matter what you choose

Cause you're alright
You're doing fine
Oh, you're alright
You're doing fine

A Forrest

"Stand By Me in the Wasteland" is a post-apocalyptic love anthem that combines the gritty determination of survival with the enduring power of love. Set against a backdrop of a world in ruins, two survivors find strength and hope in each other, vowing to face whatever comes hand in hand.
Lyrics:
I met her in the ruins, of what used to be downtown
Her rifle on her shoulder, survival's crown
She looked at me and smiled, said "Hey, what's your story?"
I said, "Just tryin' to live, in this world so gory"
We've been runnin', fightin', scrapin' by
But together we found a reason to try
Stand by me in the wasteland
We'll face it hand in hand
Through the storms and the hard times
Together we'll make our stand
In this world gone to hell
Our love's doin' well
Stand by me in the wasteland
We built our home in a bunker, safe from the radiation
Found beauty in the struggle, love's our salvation
Every day's a battle, but every night's a song
With her by my side, I know we can't go wrong
We keep pushin', hopin', holdin' on
In each other's arms, we're where we belong
Stand by me in the wasteland
We'll face it hand in hand
Through the storms and the hard times
Together we'll make our stand
In this world gone to hell
Our love's doin' well
Stand by me in the wasteland
When the nights get cold, and the days get rough
When the road ahead looks way too tough
I look into your eyes, and I know it's true
Together there's nothin' we can't do
They say the world is ending, but our world's just begun
In the face of destruction, we've found our sun
Let the old world crumble, we'll build something new
Ain't nothin' gonna break us, long as I'm with you
Stand by me in the wasteland
We'll face it hand in hand
Through the storms and the hard times
Together we'll make our stand
In this world gone to hell
Our love's doin' well
Stand by me in the wasteland
In the wasteland, in the wasteland
Our love will always stand
In the wasteland, in the wasteland
Together, hand in hand

Stand By Me

"Shadows" dives deep into the experience of isolation and inner turmoil. The recurring imagery of turbulent waters and hidden shadows reflects the chaotic state of the mind, where memories, ideas, and emotions swirl like a storm. The song paints a picture of someone retreating into their own world, away from the noise and pressures of the outside, seeking stillness and quiet in the midst of mental chaos. There's a sense of being utterly alone, yet in that solitude, new visions and thoughts emerge, giving the feeling that even in the darkest corners of the mind, there's space for growth and introspection. Fans of artists like Radiohead, Portishead, and Nick Cave will resonate with the powerful struggle with inner demons while also hinting at the potential for clarity and peace.

Cease the waters, still the tide
In hidden corners where shadows hide
Utterly alone, the silent world that's my own
Memories and ideas, nothing else shown
New visions have taken form
The raging sea - my mind a storm
Cease the boiling waters, push the rumbling waves
Part the masses of clouds, hide in dark caves
Away from the world, hidden behind
Shadows that lurk in the corners of my mind
Cease the waters, still the tide
In hidden corners where shadows hide
Alone in the echoes of my own
A silent world where seeds are sown
Memories and ideas, a tale unknown
In the stormy sea where I'm alone
Utterly alone, the silent world that's my own
Memories and ideas, nothing else shown
New visions have taken form
The raging sea - my mind a storm
Cease the waters, still the tide
In hidden corners where shadows hide

"Shadows" Written and Performed by Northern Sky

Shadows

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Earth, a tiny blue planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, lies silent, its cities in ruins, its people long gone. As a time traveller and musician, I am drawn to this world, to the echoes of a civilisation that reached for the stars but fell short, consumed by an ambition they could neither control nor fully understand.
Through my music, I seek to capture the essence of this lost era, particularly the turbulent times around 2070, when humanity's fate hung in the balance. Each song is a journey through time, a sonic exploration of the apocalyptic moments when everything changed, guided by the haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of collapse.
As I wander through the abandoned streets and desolate landscapes, I find inspiration in the remnants of human culture - the unfinished symphonies in empty concert halls, the silence that hangs heavy in recording studios where hit songs were once crafted. The music becomes a conduit for the stories that linger in these spaces, tales of dreams pursued and hopes shattered.
In the rhythms of nature reclaiming the cities, I hear a powerful message - that all things must pass, that even the grandest of human achievements are impermanent. This truth resonates through my compositions, serving as a reminder of our own fragility and the need for humility in the face of the universe's vast mysteries.
Each track on this album is a warning, a cautionary tale wrapped in sound and emotion. They speak of the paths we may tread if we are not vigilant, the dreams that may crumble if we are not wise. Through music, I forge a connection that transcends time and space, inviting listeners to explore the echoes of a vanished world and heed the lessons hidden within.
Join me on this sonic odyssey through the remnants of Earth's final days, a journey that will leave you questioning our place in the cosmos and the legacy we leave behind. Let the music be your guide as we navigate the ruins of a civilisation that dared to dream big but ultimately succumbed to its own hubris - a fate we must strive to avoid as we venture forth into the unknown.
