Keep it real
Keep it real
Keep it real
Keep it real
Give me something I can hold, Give me something I can feel,
Give me that dark native green, and that cold teal blue,
Mountains that continue for forever out of view.
Keep it real...
I need more than concrete grey, I need more than corporate/lifeless steel
I want to gaze at the horizon, not the advertisers sign,
the rich natural contour, not the harsh straight line
Keep it real.
I don't know how you do it.
Working all day under those Halogen lights.
I don't know how you do it.
blue screens by day and then neons at night.
Despite the best of effort, It feels like everything is fraught.
Despite our best intentions, Material possession is a trap in which we're caught.
I need to make a change, I need to breathe that air
That one can only find under the forests watchful care
I need to dive down deep beneath the ocean's swell,
reach toward the ageless world where ancients dwell
Keep it real..
Keep it real...
I don't know how you do it.
Unfulfilling toil claiming every waking hour
I don't know how you do it.
A world in submission to economy's power
Despite our best intentions, you live your life devoted to the manufactured brand
Despite the best of effort, the world always revolves around the money in your hand.
I need to make a change...
Keep it real...

Disorientation
07:28

Oh, Am I lost,
Deep in the world's addictions?
Is this my life?
Or is this just a work of fiction?
Oh, a fall from grace, I left with the best intentions,
Now all I know is a strong sense of misdirection.
Can't trust my sight
Can't discern what it is I see.
Does it show the truth,
Or does it seek to tempt me?
Don't trust my mind as I crave what is pure,
Searching this Abyss
Looking for a cure
Disorientation,
Because you're leading me,
And you don't know where you're going,
And yet you're leading me...
Oh are we lost,
with only the world's directions?
Fumbling in the dark with no light to see our way
Oh a departure from stable,
We left with the best intentions
And now all we know is this strong sense of misdirection
Can't trust my thought
with the influence unknown
Can't pursue the idea when I don't know if it's my own
I was so sure of who I was beside you
So much less certain when alone.
Disorientation,
Because you're leading me,
And you don't know where you're going,
And yet you're leading me...

Kia tūpato
04:41

The eye is a lamp
Light for the body
For whatever it seeks
Will remain inside
So protect your sight
Be careful what you look for
Don't take part in what you should avoid
Lest it take a part of you
Kia tūpato
For when you cast your eye in the wrong direction,
then you let the darkness inside
But when you cast your eye towards the light of life,
then you allow goodness to reside
Kia tūpato.

I've been really loving this album- it's really worth a listen if you're looking for something. I LOVE the way he pans and eq's his guitar. Full sounding guitars, really mellow and warm vocals. Mint.

I'm really biased here- This is another awesome bunch of musos that I'm involved with. They let me lose in recording and producing the first album. Have a listen to some dub-style entertainment!
