B i o g r a p h y One of the most talented and recognized producers and songwriters within the British electronic and fusion music scene, Nitin Sawhney is also a respected actor, writer, and scriptwriter. Conceiving daring theme combinations of electronica-style beats with gleaming pieces of Asian inspirations driven within the trip-hop and jazzy styles, Sawhney delivers exclusive and overwhelming sound pieces, enlightened by his indubitable creative insight. Following an education in the U.K. Kent region, obscured by the militant presence of racist organizations, Sawhney finally turned himself to music, therefore aiming to overcome the ruling and disquieting racial boundaries. During the subsequent years, he went on studying law at Liverpool University before moving to London. It was there that alongside Sanjeev Bhaskar he created the Secret Asians, a radio show that eventually evolved into an award-winning TV series. Although he dedicated most of his time to the TV business, Sawhney never neglected his musical dream. He first joined James Taylor, with whom he played a series of dates across the U.K. alongside Taylor's quartet. Following the experiment, Sawhney decided on forming his own band, the Jazztones, by that time playing on concerts headlined by DJs like Gilles Peterson. After yet another collaboration, by then with Talvin Singh with whom he assembled the Tihai Trio, the British creator decided to make it on his own, releasing his debut album, Spirit Dance, on his own label in 1993. A few months after, he signed a contract with Outcaste Records for which he released one of his most acclaimed recordings, Migration, in 1995. Following a year of incessant work, the album Displacing the Priest arrived record stores, again subliming his exceptional creative skills. During this period, Nitin Sawhney also continued to dedicate part of his time writing soundtracks for acclaimed TV series and theater plays, or accomplishing remixing works for artists like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. At the same time, during the following months, Sawhney recorded his long-awaited fourth album, Beyond Skin, offered in late 1999. Coming after an extensive touring season across the U.K. and Europe alongside artists like Sting, Sawhney recorded what turned out to be his fifth studio record; Prophesy arrived in 2001, again achieving exalted reviews from the media. |
Saudades do Rio de Janeiro
(I miss Rio de Janeiro)
Saudades do meu pai
(I miss my father)
Saudades do calor humano
(I miss the human warmth)
Saudades... ah
Saudades is to miss you
Saudades is a yearning
Saudades is when my heart aches so
Saudades… oh
This emptiness, this hollow feeling
I'm feeling the loss of you
Oh, my amazing city
How I miss you
Saudades do Rio de Janeiro
Saudades do meu pai
Saudades do calor humano
Saudades... ah
To miss you
Yearning
When my heart aches so
Oh…

Today at 15.45 hours
India conducted 3 underground nuclear tests
In the
In the Pokhran Range.
Hope falls softly from your hand
Dreams burn deep beneath the land
Time casts shadows overall
Sweating fever, rain or river
Rushing winds beneath your call
Broken skin, distant fears
Shattered worlds of endless tears
Hidden fires, distant lies
Burried hopes beneath the cries
Broken skin, distant fears
Silent lips, so far, so near
Silence, tears every hope apart
Two flames burn deep beneath one heart
Teardrops flow faster with the tide
Raging over calmer waters
As the timeless land divides
Broken skin, distant fears
Shattered worlds of endless tears
Hidden fires, distant lies
Burried hopes beneath the cries
Broken skin, distant fears
Silent lips, so far, so near
Broken, distant, shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent
Cold gain repeats on eastern shores
Strong winds blow over colder wars
Proud lips stays silent in the rain
There are half a million voices in the song without a name
Broken, distant, shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent
Shattered
Hidden, distant, burried
Broken, distant, silent
(So far so near)
Shattered
(There are half a million voices)
Distant
Shattered
Distant
Shattered
(There are half a million voices)
Just five miles from India’s nuclear test site
Children play in the shade of the village water tank
Here in the Rajahstan desert people say they’re proud their country shown its
nuclear capability
*** Thanx a lot to JackieCane & Jonas & Issam or this one ***
Now I often talk of my heart
How can I turn to the dark
And the swaying silence
I see, is nothing I can hold on to
You can’t breathe if I hold you tight
You can not breathe if I hold you tight
Don’t be afraid of letting go
Don’t be afraid of letting go
Not of anything out of anyone
All alone here with my demons
Am I ready to move on?
To a person or place
A long away from here
And I miss you
And I lose you
And I find you
I choose to follow my heart
Don’t be afraid of letting go
Don’t be afraid of letting go
Not of anything out of anyone
Out of anything out of anyone
Don’t be afraid of letting go X6

Woke up in the morning in a temple
Kinda lucky on my feet for it was central
So I walk across the village
Saw a group of kids pillage
And I thought to myself I might be ment to
You see
Pilgrims in the town
All seem to hold a frown
Say all they wanna be is diggy down
You know Speck thought he'd ask
But figured it's just a mask
Tthis guy's on something else that's profound
I'm not the stool or the fool or the leader here to rule
Not the lover or the fighter who came here to duel
But I thought I looked into, but I walked into
So I can understand all the rules, cool?
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Who's ever watched the world that's my motto
Don't ever wanna play the head honcho dig but huh
If you try to push I won't beat around the bush
Straight up you're getting dissed on the pronto.
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
If I could, I'd solve the problems of the world that exist
If I could always chill, I would without resist
If you weren't so litteral, brother you might get it
Pack my bags, tambourines, and jeans so don't sweat it
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet.
As the journey continues I gain current instincts
I feel I know what they must be thinking, for instance
When they speak in riddles I'm left with the question
But won't stop arguments to kill attention
They all got a sixth sense to be one another
So pilgrims seek refuge undercover
Where it's fly like birds to live a lot is absurd
Try telling that to this kid named Unver
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
I met him on tour a week on for twenty four
He was born in the village, but left in ninety four
Now he's still got probs he doesn't know how to solve
I said, "Unver, I've been there before"
In the light of understanding I forgot it
Sometimes the boat shakes when you rock it
I told him we are like family, a part of humanity
Don't overdo, and don't toss it.
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
He dug and moved on with his life
'Cause he digs it gets real dark at night
Don't want a collar that's blue or a reflection of you
Just wants us to get his plight
Myself I'd like the years just to take me away
It might leave a part of this world in dismay
But the village calls the pilgriming negroes
After all I'm just one needle in the hay
Now what I'm speaking in is symbolics
But you can call it what you want to call it
See all that I do is throw words, and I hope that you caught it
Only got one arrow but I aim for two targets
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
You can be that, you can be that

Was aproximately the same as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima

Also heavily advertised in the local
newspapers in Delhi
That they are encouraging for people to come down here and work.
And then we went to the embassy and they showed us
Kew Garden pictures and pictures of the various parts of England,
That it is all that beautiful and everything is just right
And that’s what we just applied for the voucher.
You burn my flame within your hands
You know when my destiny falls
This time has insecurity
I feel, makes me restless inside
Will you take me there
To a distant place I’ve never been before
I could leave this world
I could follow you like oceans to the shore
You could take me there
Make the rivers of my mind flow to my dreams
You hold your secrets from my eyes
You see where the furthest rain falls
The day breaks over in the streams
You know where my rivers will flow
Will you take me there
To a distant place I’ve never been before
I could leave this world
I could follow you like oceans to the shore
You could take me there
Make the rivers of my mind flow to my dreams
And I dream of places far from here
And I call your name into the wind
And I wish the night would take me to another world
Where no one knows a face or asks your name
Will you take me there
To a distant place I’ve never been before
I could leave this world
I could follow you like oceans to the shore
You could take me there
Make the rivers of my mind flow to my dreams
Make the rivers flow
Will
Will you take
Oh yeah
Will you take me there?
Will you take me there?
Oh Yeah
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there, yeah
Take me there, yeah yeah
Oh, Take me there
Will you take?

One day perhaps we will come back to this country and bring our children, to
show them you know
And what we had to sacrifice to be in that country you know.
But I think in the initial state that we had a lot of struggle.
But with god’s grace and his kindness we are okay now and our children are okay
as well I think…
Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
I can’t feel your dreams
I can’t see you
I can’t touch your memories
But I can hear you
I can’t feel your dreams, dreams
I can’t see you
I can’t touch your memories
But I can hear you
Words that fall like distant rain
Words that echo with your eyes
I can’t taste
I can’t feel
I can’t reach across a thousand years
I can almost touch the soil beneath your whisper
I can almost feel the hopes you left behind
I can almost touch the soil beneath your whisper
I can almost feel the hopes you left behind
Words that fall like distant rain
Words that echo with your eyes
I can’t taste
I can’t feel
Thousand years
I can’t hear you
I can’t see you
I can’t touch you
I can’t reach you

On July 29th at 5:29 am,
The gadget turned the pre-dawn sky as bright as the sun,
as the first atomic mushroom cloud rose above the horizon.
We knew the world would not be the same...
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita…
Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty.
And to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.

Jonas for this one ***
Note from Cynthia :
The quote in Beyond Skin is J. Robert Oppenheimer describing his and his team's
reaction to the Trinity Experiments (the first explosion of an atomic bomb)
Oppenheimer was the man in charge of the Manhattan Project (the
building of the atomic bomb during WWII).
He later came to oppose the development of the hydrogen bomb, and perhaps his
part in the Manhattan Project.

If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set the sun

Oceans rise
People rise with the sun
If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I would never to see you
If I could set the sun
If I could set the sun
Tears fallin’
Rain fallin’
Leaves are falling with the sun
Lives drifting
Seeds drifting
Worlds drifting with the sun
If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set with the sunset, say it ...
If I
Never to leave here
If I
Always alone

People rise
With the sun
Oceans rise
Rivers rise
People rise

Nothing
Nothing new left to say
Can be heard
Nothing helps me find my way
Empty words
No more will I question why
What we feel
Nothing left to make me try
Nothing’s real
Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me
If my nothing here resides
Inside me
I have nothing left to hide
Could be free
No more clinging to this world
Nothing here
Insecurity unfolds
no more fear
Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing
No more fear
No one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me
Feeling cuts me like a knife
And who's to say
If we've everything in life
Find our way
In this nothing I have found
Nothing more
But in the space inside my mind
I open doors
Doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing
Open doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing hides
Nothing More

Just no one

Open doors no one
Open doors nothing hides

Street Guru
(Part 1)
They've incorporated their culture and their values into the city and they've
enriched the city
both like, from uh, you know work ethic and you know the restaurants and the
music and it's really a diverse city.
I mean you walk through the Vany Avenue, you know you go through Korean
neighborhoods,
Old Jewish neighborhoods, Arabic neighborhoods, uh, Pakistani-Indian
neighborhoods.
It's incredible. The intensity... I think yeah, development has pushed us away
from other people.
You know a lot of times people are rude because they want like immediate access
or immediate information.
You know some things in life can't be immediate, sometimes you gotta wait and
let things happen...
People are like, are increasingly rude. Like I'll say somebody will get in a
cab, we'll say "I'll get em there in 5 minutes."
And they'll say, "Well, It should only take 3." Now who gives a shit if it takes
5 minutes or 3 minutes, who cares?
At the end of your life nobody's gonna put at your tomb stone "shit I got in a
cab in five, in seven minutes instead of three".
You know, It doesn't matter, and technology has made us slaves to time.
Naw, a lot of people that are really have technical jobs, they're slaves to
time.
And time is the essence of life it seems like. And they're basically like losing
it
They're losing the essence of their life because, you know, their life is like
just going away and,
They're not enjoying it because their so engrossed in efficiency and
productivity and shit like that.
That it's almost sad. They all come here from somewhere else like seeking their
fame and fortune or,
The top jobs and they're and career-you know, in their, in their industries.
They get very engrossed, and they into these you know these cell phones and
computers and...
I think the real important things in life are you know, people and your family.
I think you don't realize that, a lot of people don't realize that until they're
older.
I think there's going to be a backlash against technology.

Developed
Every Australian should be able to, uh,
Keep their culture together by using, exercising all these elements of today's
reality.
And that reality is development.
And that, that development um, I would think is the way it should be right.
Not something that is put upon us, or forced down our throats.
You and I know that music is universal language.
And it doesn't have any prejudice. It has one of thinking.
Without prejudice, without prejudice, without prejudice...

Cold & Intimate
You see me walk
You see me fall
You touch the tears upon my face
I taste your words
I smell you fear
I feel your bitter sweet embrace
Nothing mentioned, nothing gained
You're here and then your gone
Your complications keep me sane
We're cold and intimate
I watch the news
I hear your words
I smell the lies beneath your smile
You hesitate, you deviate
From pictures filled with silence
Nothing mentioned, nothing gained
We're here and then we're gone
A simple world appears insane
But we're cold and intimate
We search within
We search without
We touch the corners of our minds
We play our lives
Deceive our friends
We taste the fruit of our own lies
Pointless ventures
Endless games
We were never here at all
Nothing in this world could change
Are we cold and intimate

You know, and I don't know what's gonna cause it.
I hope it won't be any environmental disaster shit, you know, for sure for my
kids that wanna live a better life.
That's so much materialic but I want a peaceful life.
You know sometimes it's good just to go in the woods and just go hikin', and get
back in touch with yourself and nature.
You know, then you come back here and you realize that this is like man,
Ludacris all this emphasis on technology... Fifty different internet devices and
shit, internet devices you can put in your pocket.
Sometimes I feel threatened by it but you know, that's the future and I am a man
of the past,
You know, I'm a, I'm a low-tech man in a high-tech world. I mean, it's a fact
man.
I'm a low-tech man in a high-tech world there ain't shit I can do about it
because,
You know, the world's changing and I'm not and you know, maybe I don't wanna
change.
Maybe the people I associate with are like me.

What do we do in these crazy
times?
Inside, outside, I can feel it in my mind
In the ocean and the river
I can feel it in the tide
And all day, all night, in the rithim of the city
From the dusk to the dawn I can feel it flowing in me
Down by the river
Life flowing deeper
Tide growing stronger
No, you can't hold and hold the river
Inside my head I can hear it talking to me
Like the river to the ocean
I can feel it growing in me
And all day, all night, in the rithim of the city
From the dusk to the dawn I can feel it flowing through me
Down by the river
Life flowing deeper
Tide growing stronger
No, you can't hold and hold the river

For the eastern eyes of a life
reborn
When the western skies of a broken dawn
In the first embrace of a haunted smile
With the hopeful eyes of an alien child
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way
I have come to find my way
In the burning sheets of a neighbour's pain
With the sweat of a night and the summer rain
In the cry of birth and the death of fear
For the hope of a light and the joy of tears
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way
I have come to find my way
From the tainted screen of a surgeon mind
From the tear-stained face of a haunted kind
From the shade of death and the flame of life
From the ??est blade of a surgeon's knife
I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand
From the half-light to the day
I have come to find my way
I have come to find my way
Eastern, eastern eyes... your eyes
For these eastern, eastern, eastern, eastern eyes
For these eastern, eastern eyes
For these eastern eyes
Eastern eyes (3x)
Eastern, eastern, eastern eyes (2x)
Eastern, eastern eyes
*** Thanx a lot to Isabel for this one ***
Say Hello
I knew you needed a friend
I knew you needed some blue skies
You need some laughter again
'Til magic returns to your blue eyes
You're lost in the circle of pain
Where's it all going
Each day is the same
Where are you going
Say hello
Say hello
You're never alone
Something inside of yourself
When darkness approaches, your silence
Freedom's forgotten her name
Nothing makes sense you don't complain
Everything started to fall
Where's it all going
Can't make any sense of it all
Where am I going
Say hello
Say hello
You're never alone
*** Thanx a lot to Rychas for this one ***
Falling Angels
There's a time for grown up boys
To make a mess of pretty things
To lose yourself and find
A peace in your goodbye
I lost my faith in you
To distant dreams of truth
Nothing here redeems me
No angels to release me
I dream of falling angels
I dream of falling angels
Touching me...
The shadows bury me
In rusty memories
Hopes fall inside
My angels cold goodbyes
You lost that photo-album smile
To memory's faded, faded, faded, faded child
I dream of falling angels
I dream of falling angels
Touching me...
*** Thanx a lot to
Rychas & Johannes for this one ***
Falling
Some day the wind will change and you
will see me clearly
One day these dreams of mine will bring me to my time
Some day i will become what i am meant to be coming to
One day but that's a million some days from today
Lately the sunshine makes a different shape around
Lately my music has a different sound to show me
Lately i ask questions of the world but no one is listening
Tell me when i go to sleep what will the morning bring me?
Falling, falling, falling, or am i flying?
Flying, flying, flying, or am i falling?
*** Thanx a lot to Saskia for this one ***
Haath pakad kar chalte rahe, saath samundar
chod gaye,
andhiyaari se roshni tak, aa hi gaye hum aa hi gaye (hindi)
inside the dark, deepest part of my mind. Through sunshine and rain, idle dreams
keep my sane.
we're only feathers in the wind falling from the sky without wings and
though the world may fall I know, I see sunlight through the rain over me.
beyond the dark lie the hopes and the fears. Innocent eyes watching as worlds
collide
we're only feathers in the wind falling from the sky without wings and
though the world may fall I know, I see sunlight through the rain over me
Haath pakad kar chalte rahe, saath samundar chod gaye, andhiyaari se roshni tak,
Aa hi gaye hum aa hi gaye
inside my head i can be anything (x 5 and fade)
*** Thanx a lot to
Merve for this one ***
Lately, lately I've seen you in your dream
Lost in a clouded mind
Held down by all the things that seem so real
The world you can't leave behind
You've made all of the money you could spens
You're begging for something more
Behind the prison tou call your home my friends
The light in the endless dark
Lately, you've followed your fears under the bed
And fell for a hundred years
Into the arms of a wounded melody
The promise that love's still here
You held a cynical world like God's bruised fruit
Chopped from a sacred tree
It's us, the enemy we fought all these years
The stories of you and me
So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we've ran our whole life
Forgoing the sweetest view
There's a buzz like a lightbulb up to our ears
Promise that love's still here
Retrace the steps in the snow to find your friend
'Cause the child had melt so fast
Big dreams, the future you taste on summer's time
Having it just won't last
Right here, we've all got the answer in our heart
If we could just let that go
Lifetimes of beautiful sunday church bell girls
The junkies upon the floor
So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we've ran our whole life
Forgoing the sweetest view
We could argue forever and ever, be clear
Promise that love's still here
If forever and ever and ever we find that we've ran our whole life
Forgoing the sacred view
There's a buzz like a lightbuld up to our ears
Promise that love's still here
The promise that love's still here
The promise that love's still here
The promise that love's still here

Chetan Jeevan (Conscious Life)
I have lived life until now to the height of
enjoyment
My physical body accompanied by a conscious mind
Endless desires swirl outside of me
HE is also taking me along his cosmic path giving me experience of seeing,
hearing, tasting, smelling and feeling
I feel content while sleeping, crying, laughing, eating and drinking
Day and night I think that there must be some purpose to this life
I have come to understand joy and sorrow due to lust, anger, greed, attachment
and ego
I have started to think about what is the characteristic wont of life and about
what is the uncharacteristic wont of life,
about what is benevolent use of mind and words and what is harmful use of mind
and words
and about what is sin and what is virtue
Thus no more desire or expectation for past, present or future remains with me
My mind has gone beyond past, present and future and beyond the rational
intellect of imagination
I see that I am beyond birth and death and am enjoying mind in a state of
samadhi
PS : I found this translation
on a forum. Here is what the guy said :
An Indian friend of mine recently translated Chetan Jeevan
(Conscious Life) for me and I thought I would share this in case other people
are interested. My friend doesn't speak very good English so I've had to piece
this together quite a bit. I'm sure it's more eloquent in its' original form and
if anyone can help with a truer translation then please feel free!
I use the definitions given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti-ji for Dharma and Satya
but realise that Hindu and Buddhist definitions are various and differ.
With respect, Shriila' X
Rainfall
I'd like to know what's going on
In this world we're living on
So much poverty
All around me
This insanity
That surrounds me
It is the world, seems so far away
People's lives, changing everyday
Oh no... I can hear the rainfall
I'd like to know when you and I
Will stop walking and passing by
So much ignorance
That my eyes see
My experience
Cannot blind me
It is the world, seems so far from here
Seasons change, and the rain is near
Oh no... I can hear the rainfall
Oooh... Yehh....
I'd like to find a new reality
Something more than this fantasy
No more false dreams
No more mind games
I can't even see
Through this dark rain
It is the world, seems so far away
People lives, changing everyday
Ey Oh... I can hear the rainfall
*** Thanx a lot to
Merve for this one ***
Waiting (O Mistress Mine)
O mistress mine
Where are you roaming?
O stay and hear
Your true loves coming
That can sing both high and low
Trip no further pretty sweeting
Journeys end in lovers meeting
Every wise mans son doth know
What comes now has gone tomorrow
Present smiles are full of sorrow
But I see you in my mind
From the shadows of my memory
I can feel you walking near me
And I’m waiting for the rain to fall
Dust from your eyes
Angels are falling
From distant fears
Your cold hearts beating
I can see you in the dark
Or the flicker of a daydream
From the edge of silent tears
I remember and I smile
What is love?
Tis not hereafter
Present mirth
Hath present laughter
What's to come is still unsure
In delay there lies no plenty
Then come kiss me sweet and twenty
Youths a stuff twill not endure
*** Thanx a lot to Merve for this one ***

caressed with love I drifted ashore from the sea The sand shows a new way The light blends with the darkness The wind is full of love Who are you boatman who paddles this boat, whom i cannot see |

Everything
She whispers all her secrets
Untie probs in her dreams
The people walk in rhythm
To hear the traffic sings
She
In this love
She

With stars around his head
The people walk in rhythm
They paint the traffic red

The truth is glassy eye
‘N still shakes above the hair
Always shaking shaking
There there there there

With stars around his head

And in a flash he saw her
The answer came in red

All the colours are crackling, the
leaves are alive
With a note from your heart I keep written inside
Frozen air surrounds your eyes
As you speak fountains collide
With a mouth full of stars I trip over my feet
You've blown me away, I can hardly speak
Stolen my silence, scattered my peace
I'm lost in the dark, mislaid my spark
Memories of you fading into the past
To keep you inside freeze your kiss so it lasts
In the shadow of your light
I live my days like they were nights
With a mouth full of stars I trip over my feet
You've blown me away, I can hardly speak
Stolen my silence, scattered my peace
I'm lost in the dark, mislaid my spark
All the space that you need and the silence you plead
I've thrown them away cause your signs I can't read
Forgotten thrills in the sudden chills
Frozen air surrounds your eyes
With a mouth full of stars I trip over my feet
You've blown me away, I can hardly speak
Stolen my silence, scattered my peace
I'm lost in the dark, mislaid my spark

Journey
Every now and then
I fall into deep thought and self-examination
Figuring out
If I really belong in this world
Who am I
What was I born to live
Will I succeed
Or will I fall short
Of my dreams
I know I’ve got to find a way to
move on
Yeah, to a place where I can be stronger
On a journey
Deeper inside
On a journey
Deeper inside my mind
I know I’ve got to find a way to move on
Got to move on
To a place where I can be stronger
Stronger
Stornger
Stronger
Stronger
I’m on a journey
Deep inside my mind
To see if I can find
The answers to all the questions
I’ve been asking myself
For a long time
A long time
A long time
For a long time
I’m on a journey
Deep inside my mind
To see if I can find
The answers to all the questions
I’ve been asking myself
For a long time
A long time
A long time
For a long time

Noches En
Vela (Part 1)
( featuring Ojos De Brujo )
|
Crece canela entre tus acai y los mios |
Cinnamon grows between your bags and mine Noble metals that melt with rhythm and taste There's some nice rhumba for every hour in the day Sleepless nights, bonfire, serenade, love with no condition Carrying flowers i'm going, looking for romance In this world sometimes dark, inexplicable Carrying fresh flowers, sometimes black Just like the cradle of those who buy misery Till your way, and every seed you find, sow it Collect the fruits that feeds no much There's black tempests that will collect storms Keep going, till your way, and every seed you find sow Cinnamon grows between your bag and mine Noble metals that melt with rhythm and taste |

Throw
What we have

One man gambles in a London house casino
A glass of whiskey and a BLT
He spins the wheel of fortune
Blows his night in just one roll
Stumbles out into the street
| All
away Always What we do If we throw it all away |
What
we have What we give What we take Who we are |
So he staggers out into the night
& takes the night bus to his home
A hotel room, an empty chair
He hears a voice but no one's there
A gun and Bible by the phone
| All
away Always What we do If we throw it all away |
What
we have What we give What we take Who we are |
A drunken fool with broken
memories
Says his prayers & takes a drink
The morning brings a brand new season
One more chance, and one more reason
Tomorrow's just a dream away
| All
away Always What we do If we throw it all away |
What
we have What we give What we take Who we are |
What we have
What we give
What we take
Who we are
What we have
Is what we give
What we take
Who we are

Flipside
I could be in more than one place
Everyday I could wear a new face
If Nixon never lied
And Martin Luther never died
On the flipside
On the flipside you can do anything
On the flipside winter autumn spring
Let the flipside bring a second wind to change your world
On the flipside you can do anything
On the flipside winter autumn spring
Let the flipside bring a second wind to change your world
The hands of time are changing
My world is rearranging
So many pasts to futures
That my history's never seen
Out comes change
But I don't know
Still everywhere the sunlight glows
For every one tomorrow brings another day
On the flipside you can do anything
On the flipside winter autumn spring
Let the flipside bring a second wind to change your world
On the flipside you can do anything
On the flipside winter autumn spring
Let the flipside bring a second wind to change your world
On the flipside A to B
Should've been more like a Y to Z
Every time I open my eyes I still see
On the flipside
My soul is a shadow of pain
No thrills of bills to bury shame
Oh I love to be alive on the flip-slick-side
On the flipside you can do anything
On the flipside winter autumn spring
Let the flipside bring a second wind to change your world
Encrypted recipes to reconfigure easily
The mess we made on world Side B
Encrypted recipes to reconfigure easily

The truth could set us free
And no more blame for you and me
