The mist through the water, Inaccurate readings, Forgotten names, Lives now changed. I look inside my mind, But there's nothing there to find.
2.
In your eyes, a million lies. A million people saying that they're not up for playing your mind games. But you can't blame them for trying. If no-one's selling no-one's buying. Gated skies around them withhold them and compound men. And while peoples' minds were dying, only some of us are trying, While the others are relying on you. To show them what's around them, help them learn about themselves. They don't even know when - Mindfields are resting in their mind, Mindfields playing all the tunes of their time, Mindfields blowing through their minds so clear now. Sit back and kick backs in Mindfields. Sit back and relax on Mindfields. And they now have their key, They don't need to worry now that they are free. While their brothers' minds were dying all the rest they were denying that the others were relying on you, To show them what surrounds, help them learn about themselves.
3.
Weakness is your strength and that strength is your weakness, You won't do nothing for yourself, you always rely on something else.

These diamond lives in which take from shore to shore, Yet for all our lies, we are always telling more. Reflected views, refracted words, these diamond lives. Tax free to dig the ground, to make a pound and then cover up, Still well renowned. Rather you than me 'cause my life's not free. And I'd rather avoid catastrophe, For funding diamond lives. Force funded diamond lives. These diamond lives, these diamond times, Diamond ways, diamond Days. These diamond times, such diamond days, our diamond lives. These diamond views, to take and use, Diamond crimes, production lines. These diamond times, such diamond days, our diamond lives. These diamond lives, these diamond days, These diamond dreams, these diamond crimes, These diamond ways, these diamond times, These diamond views, these diamond lies, These diamond lives, these diamond thoughts, These diamond words, this diamond light, This diamond world, this diamond earth, For all its worth, these diamond ways, These diamond times, these diamond days. Our diamond lives. These diamond lives continue all the same, Through endless years situation never changed. And they play Chinese whispers with the blame, These diamond days, their diamond game.

Some place other than here. Just wanna be, some place other than here.

about

Five years in the making, this album explores a range of world events that took place during those years. Large orchestrations are combined with small horn ensembles and intricate programming in a musical journey across many genres. Written to be performed live, combining the humanity of live musicians with the rigid timing and intricacies of electronics, this album demonstrates a journey of inspiration and influence.

"A journey into the composer's head" - New Music Weekly
“Those who believe that dance music and string quartets should not mix may be horrified. Personally, I loved it” - Anglia Squared
“A unique approach to combining opposing musical soundworlds. A great listen!" - Broken
