I'm speeding in the dark on my own Speeding in the dark on my own Glancing at my mobile phone Speeding in the dark on my own I gotta text about an hour ago Gotta text about an hour ago No sense in driving slow I gotta text about an hour ago And it's understood I'm up to no good The engines running hot under the hood I'm going to start a fire, going to knock on wood My baby's waiting all alone Driving 80 in a 50km, in a 50km zone I think life goes way too fast Life goes way too fast It's in front of you then it's in the past I think life goes way too fast And it's understood I'm up to no good The engines running hot in this new neighbourhood I'm going to start a fire, going to knock on wood My baby's waiting all alone Driving 80 in a 50km, in a 50km zone And it's understood My baby's waiting all alone And it's understood I'm up to no good Engines running hot under, under the hood Driving 80 in a 50km, zone I'm up to no good Driving 80, in a 50km zone No good A 50km zone

Rise Above 02:58
lyrics

How brave am I, how tall? When the light starts to fade and the shadows fall How cool am I, how tough? When the cards I've been playing aren't enough Can I let love, love, lift me and rise above Can I let love, love, lift me and rise above How big am I, how strong? When the silence in the night goes on to long How good am I, how wise? Can I see beyond the secrets and the lies? Can I let love, love, lift me and rise above Can I let love, love, lift me and rise above Gotta let it in, gotta let it in Gotta let it in, right now Can I let love, love, lift me and rise above Can I let love, love, lift me and rise above Gotta let in, gotta let it in.....rise above..... Can I let love, love, lift me and rise above

Let It Go 02:45
lyrics
buy track
When the skies are grey and you wish that they were golden When your heart is closed and you think that it could be open When all those promises don't come at all Let it go, let it go, let go Let it go, let it go, let go Whatever you think you know Let it go Whatever you think you know Let go When the landscape is strange and you don't know where you're walking And you wake up in a dream and you wonder who was talking When the rain outside your window starts to fall Let it go, let it go, let go Let it go, let it go, let go Whatever you think you know Let it go Whatever you think you know Let go Ask yourself who's holding on? And who are you? And what's gone wrong? Ask yourself who's holding on? Who's holding on? Let it go, let it go, let go Let it go, let it go, let go Whatever you think you know Let it go Whatever you think you know Let go

The Clock Has Stopped 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Look for yourself, spin the wheel of fate Throw back your head, open up the gate Take back some ground, roll yourself a dream Walk across the sand, pick a favourite scene A metaphor of sense prevails when language and lyric fails The clock has stopped, the hands are done, since time began The clock has stopped Liberate the truth, in the vast infinity Climb the mountain steps, what exactly do you see? A metaphor of sense prevails when language and lyric fails The clock has stopped since time begun, the hands are done I is you and you is I, an undivided sea and sky The clock has stopped since time begun, the hands are done The clock has stopped The clock has stopped x3

about

The four songs on this EP are shaped by a recent passion for electronic synths and drum machines. I collaborated on the music with experienced producer and musician Zed Brookes. Over the previous two years Zed and I shaped the songs by swapping music files, rough demos and computer tracks. The result I think is ‘electro-rock’. As Zed and I worked on the music the songs just kept on getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes this approach doesn't always work but as we added more sounds and flavours the tracks felt really epic, so at a certain point we just went with it. Enjoy!
