So Long

Have you ever wondered in your deepest dreams
All of nature’s secrets as magic it may seem
Have you ever figured out and proven right
Are you still just guessing everything that might
Do you still discover, do you still find out
Do you know the secrets what it’s all about
How could this be right, so wrong, so long
How could this be right, so wrong, so long
Have you ever traveled back and forth in time
Just take a look above you, beyond the sun and shine
Isn’t it mere beauty, the deepest sky so dark
Imagine its beginning, first the brightest spark
Have you ever wondered all those shining stars
Looking down upon us, writing their memoires
How could this be right, so wrong, so long
How could this be right, so wrong, so long
Have you ever wondered if all rain were tears
How many people crying, for many thousand years
Have you ever whistled, or sang a simple song
Pressure and harmonics, the speed of sound a long
Have you ever listened to a quiet place
Without any distractions, a figure or a face
How could this be right, so wrong, so long
How could this be right, so wrong, so long

Shut Your Eyes
03:55

|
For every state you’ve been
We all felt isolation
The many, the few, the near and the far
And what we’ve seen
is just a lack of observation
Including the nature of what we are
You simply can’t deny there’s always interaction
Even when it’s small
One look at each other
Two seconds to be
To find one another
Shut your eyes and you’ll see
Sometimes I get a little excited
It's just a phase, don’t have to hide it, it’s cool
So many words, so many rules and regulations
Sometimes you just want out
Out of this place, with all its pressure and frustration
You feel the need to shout
You simply can’t deny the space you need to feel good
Even when it’s small
One look at each other
Two seconds to be
To find one another
Shut your eyes and you’ll see
Sometimes I get a little excited
It's just a phase, don’t have to hide it, it’s cool
One look at each other
Two seconds to be
To find one another
Shut your eyes and you’ll see
Sometimes you get a little excited, sometimes there’s no notion at all
Sometimes we get a little excited
Just a phase, don’t have to hide it, it’s cool

Into The Night

If you’d ever wonder where we go
Just take a look above, you’ll know
Just pick a shining star, you’ll see
That’s where we keep our memories
And when the feeling strikes you’re all alone
Your smiling face seems dead and gone
Just take a look into the sky
That’s where I’ll keep your brightest smile
Into the night so dark and bright
For every star, so very far
So long ago
That’s where you and I will go
If you ever wish upon a star
No matter near, no matter far
More than 200 million years
And we will never disappear
Into the night so dark and bright
For every star, so very far
So long ago, so much unknown
For eternity
That’s where you and I will be
For every star, so very far
So long ago, so much to show
Eternity
That’s where you and I will be

Fade Away
02:16

When you’re out of fuel, your core contracts
Everything else grows bigger
It’s time to fade away
You’re turning red, like a balloon
Don’t blow or pull the trigger
It’s time to fade away
You burn and fuse, the core’s so hot
But this won’t last forever
It’s time to fade away
When number two is finally gone
Cool down, because it may be now or never
It’s time to fade away
time to fade away 4x
When you shed the outer layer
Into a shell of gas and dust, I guess it’s…
time to fade away
You’re a little dwarf, dense and white
In time just fade to black because it’s…
time to fade away
time to fade away 8x

Nature Calls
Nature Calls
Well have you ever tried to defy the laws of nature
like you had to jump way too far
You did’t jump off the page,
but still it felt like a hard drop you had to drop
You simply cannot make it, cos the jump is too far
The ground is harder when you fall
And guess what, Nature Calls
Nature Calls
Nature Calls
So have you ever been in a situation
you wished you could travel faster than light
For instance because you don’t have enough time
to be on time this time
You didn’t figure out in time, all happened too fast
‘Cos time is gentle while it last
and guess what, Nature Calls
Nature Calls
Nature Calls

Shine On
02:28

I don’t think we’ve seen this before
These ancient lights have shined
for millions years or many more, and many more to come
I don’t think I understand
I don’t think I know
I don’t think any one does
Shine on, shine on
I don’t think you want this
I don’t think you do
I don’t think or believe you know what it all truly means
There’s facts and figures, science and truth, and so many in between
I don’t think we’d see or widness every single day
Just shine or fade away
Shine on, shine on

Save The Moment
07:21
|

|
I saw the moon this morning
While silent birds did sing
And for the briefest moment
I tried to spread my wings
As the clouds pass by
This ain’t no lullaby
When the clocks stop ticking
Time still fades away
And trying to save the moment
The night turns into day
I saw a withered flower
And quite remorselessly
What might have been an hour
Became eternity
While the shades grew tall
This summer turned into fall
When the clocks stop ticking
Time still fades away
And trying to save the moment
The night turns into day
Time to fade away 8x
It’s too late for running
It’s too late for truth
It’s too late, exaggerate
Ease the way I’m landing
Please
Now I’ve finally woken
And my years of dreams
Left my hourglass broken
What it seems
As I close my eyes
This day becomes the night
When the clocks stop ticking
Time still fades away
And trying to save the moment
The night turns into day

Free To Go
03:38

It’s the first part of your journey
It’s the first part of the show
I can’t figure out the way you'd turn to
And you don’t know where to go
So we all need reassurance
More then you will ever know
When it’s time to take that giant step
Where no-one’s ever gone before
Then you’re free
You’re free to go
So you’re free
You’re free to go
Where ever you want to go
I don’t understand the meaning
There so much I do not know
But it feels it doesn’t make any difference
Either way, it’s time to go
‘Cause you’re free
You’re free to go
So you’re free
You’re free to go
Where ever you want
Whenever you are sorry
For any step you took
Just remember all the ups and every downs
And you feel free - you’re free
You’re free
Free to go
You’re free
Free to go
Where ever you want
Now you’re free
You’re free to go
So you’re free
You’re free to go
Where ever you want to go

Fire on the Vine

This is the second in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. The world appears to be littered with bearded young men with acoustic guitars and notebooks full of verse, access to old pianos, and mournful string players.
