""Never thought that love and sadness Could ever walk hand in hand Never thought that laughter and sorrow Could live within this same heart We came far living on stolen moments We can pretend for only so long We all fail stumble and fall We are the same 'till the end in fire Out to the sea I cry my heart Into the wind I weep my sorrows Below this soil I lay my thoughts Under the waves I drown my grief Out to the sea you cry your heart Into the wind you weep your sorrows Below this soil we lay our thoughts Under the waves we drown our grief You were the one I believed in I was the one worth your trust But stars no longer will guide us We walk in all-consuming dark For life shapes us an we never return To the same where we left from Hope always looks for a disappointment And tranquility for a war And I sail this sea in a leaking ship Try to cross an ocean without a sheet No wind will carry me to the shore No wave will take me back to home You are in the silence around me You are the water in my lungs You are in escaping daylight As we dance our way into the dark Into the dark...""

    We ended up recording 11 songs in total with these album sessions. As ten songs already tick around 56 minutes we decided it would be a good call to leave one song as bonus. Just to keep the actual album but more coherent. This song came together quite easily. I remember playing the parts with acoustic guitar and just recording stuff down to my iPhone after moving near London. After I blocked the chorus par from one of Markus's demos it was pretty much a wrap. Lyrically it's about seeking comfort and solitude from nature. There's just something soothing about walking in the forest far away from all the noise; strong sensation of coming home and being part of the wild. V. Friman

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
