Switching off - album 2025
PIER61
Songs to relax the body, open the mind and cleanse the soul.
"In 1984, we all thought Skynet was a fantasy.
Terminators running around Los Angeles for all to see.
I remember I had a Nokia that wasn't web enabled.
Then it changed and it's like my brain is disabled.
I remember watching Minority Report with Tom spotting crime,
he knew it happened before it did, it was a favourite film of mine.
Now I worry we are relying on chips you cannot eat,
and frameworks that sit in a cloud, it feels like it's a cheat."
"The gums of my moutains, where grass grew like fountains, seem dusty and covered in drought.
Your population growing, you seem to be mowing my fields, so you send out a scout.
To find distant lands, there's nothing to have, it's all used and never in doubt.
Where you live I am silent, my core is more violent, I wish you could hear me shout."
"Do you feel so afraid, is it worse than the shade of the cloud that was cast in our room.
Are there answers then questions I have some suggestions that might may you stop then resume.
I hope we don't just speak on zoom.
It's you, and I wanna be there by your side.
I do, have the love and I don't wanna hide,
my feelings are right on my sleeve, and I need you and I know that we've, got that love."
"We're all manipulated to a point where it's alien to think otherwise.
Were it reciprocated by those who impose, would they sympathise.
It's a chain of events that make us all weak, having signed an NDA so we cannot speak,
we're all gaged and duped into fake innuendos, our live's don't warrant colourful crescendos."
