Bright lights are flaring through my head Fading thoughts consume my mind Hate and anger don't last no more As we fall Feeling sorrow for a hollow soul As our lives don't matter no more And We bond over this happy note We ain't no more This force pulls you down to the ground Feeling my eyes slowly shutting down What's above is now below Taking us one at a time * Free just like the ocean Now I'm free just like the ocean. (This moment of my life) Now I start to like this strange romance From what Is already known Blue and white is all that I can see Losing focus on what is real While this moment Moves much faster Why must I lose All that matters In my life All that i dreamed of I see through your eyes All that I want masked through your lies I'll burn this world and find my way home

Here we are on this weird crossroad With no goal, no mode, Seasons of emotions and hope in our hearts A canvas of adventures and melodies To bring our destinies alive And our souls Chorus “The wheels are grooving The moods are flying Breaking Away” Journey there is a long way Away from here Escape to crazy lands and open sands To find A canvas of adventures and melodies To sing out destinies alive And our souls Chorus

Selfie 06:54
I have been walking with this girl for a while 'cause she looked smitten And I have been trying to make a little conversation But she don’t listen All that matters are the 'likes' Love don't live here anymore And then she said what's on her mind As I walk her to the door (She says) all I need is love but all you need is me POSING WITH YOU FOR A SELFIE. I see her watch the world through someone else's eyes SHE looks happy She sits for hours browsing through people's lives She feels nothing All your pics get A 1000 likes Not a single person cares You add new friends by the dozen when you need them, they're not there (But she says) All I need is love but all you need is me POSING WITH YOU FOR A SELFIE Bridge So do you find yourself at the centre Of this World Wide Web That's spun around your heart and soul You only need to take my hand And let’S go! So do you know that the times they are changing And days are few So let's build something new I just want a new lifestyle That's clean and I mean and without posing with you.....

I see you there, watching us Thinking that this band kicks ass It’s just another night in paradise city We tried hard, no gigs so far So we are doing this for ‘exposure’ But the grass is brown and the girls aren’t pretty And while we try to play our songs The crowd just wants those sing-alongs So we quickly turn to a ditty And we think about those sleepless nights Writing songs and endless fights Jamming up in the dead of the night ‘Cos sometime someday someway we will be your heroes ‘If you still believe And we won’t let these dreams die, we will never compromise Just wait and see And as these years will rush by like the twinkling of an eye Sitting down to write a song, Hoping it makes sense at all. Been too long- I don't think I've got it. I'd like to go n have some fun I need to get this damn song done, And all I've got, in my head it static.

Blow Up Doll 06:34
Always at his beck and call Excuse of a human, this blow up doll She talks as well but you don't hear her at all She's nothing more than his blowup doll She loves him so much so she complies Can't get her voice across hard as she tries He loves her too he never once lies Every night she cries x 2 (Hindustani ) Scars from everyone cuts into her skin She bleeds n bleeds it all But it's buried deep within He won't ever know how things could have been He never tried to understand That was his sin Like all men before him he had his fun Plunder the doll and left once he was done Just another scar Just another one She bled profusely for everyone The hook ups the mess ups Love lost in the sheets Where does the heart go when the body seeks Who built that wall of shattered glass Who messed you up who made you so crass Chorus

Valerie 08:18
I was living in the desert of my solitude The sands of time had passed me by And love was a mirage, That fooled me oh, so many times Life was a storm, I was the eye Then you came, and my world would never be the same You set my heart and soul aflame I wish I knew before this was meant to be This was destiny Now our souls are set free How do I make you mine and trick the hands of time? Make this last a lifetime? Or should I let you go, nobody has to know Cause we both know this will only grow Chorus “Valerie, I am caught between the lines of desire and duty Valerie, I would always love you but I wanna set you free” You say nothing as I lay beside you on your bed This love don’t need words anymore Hope and emotions – are filling up all empty spaces Misery just walked out the door This is wrong, but love never felt so strong I know this is where I belong And this is true, I have given myself to you My heart and soul I promise too

Wild Side 06:03
I was born on a cold night of December You didn't hear no cries of joy I was left with no choice but to surrender Accept the darkness in my world And I was taught to fool myself with the man in the mirror it Felt so wrong every time And as I stand looking at the pane of glass All I see is god's pantomime Imagine this nobody sees who you are You're a question they ask but can't answer But I want love , want lust I want to be the one you trust So would you push me away Would you rather have me say Take a walk on the wild side I was taught since I could remember To swollen my pain and eat your lies And I had learnt early on to surrender to all of the hate thats in your eyes. Imagine this nobody cares for your heart You're a stigma: the curse from your father But I want love want lust wanna be the one you trust So would you push me away Would you rather have me say Take a walk on the wild side

Stay 06:08
Tucked in the bitter folds of memories Somehow you have always been there Its been a while but I can call apart the scenes Of you walking away People they always make a lover fearful But you should listen to your heart Reasons oh you found them so easily That was the end that was the start You were the song you were the harmony You were the star that faded away We knew the road and love was the destiny So won't you come here and stay Chorus And when the clouds have all passed by I will be standing / by/ your side Through the rain through the pain till nothing else remains So don’t let this love be a memory We have seen the others come and go Through the thick and through the thin And when you thought of letting go I knew we could always win You were my song and I was your symphony You were the dream that faded away We knew the road and love was the destiny So won't u come here and stay And when the clouds have all passed by I will be standing / by/ your side Through the rain through the pain till nothing else remains So don’t let this love be a memory Bridge And I should have known from the start I should have read the signs, listened to my heart I wish I could clean your troubled mind I wish I could turn back time Chorus And when the clouds have all passed by I will be standing / by/ your side Through the rain through the pain till nothing else remains So don’t let this love be a memory So don't let this love be our memory

about

'A Strange Connection' , our debut album, is a collection of eight songs that have been born out of personal experiences and conversations. From watching couples clicking another useless selfie to the practical challenges of working in the independent music industry and conversations with a transgender person; the songs are diverse and yet real.
The music is not restricted to any genre and combines elements of pop, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.
Some of the songs address contemporary issues, like the cycle of abuse in toxic relationships (‘Blow-Up Doll’), or the stigmatisation of the queer community (‘Wild Side’); while others talk of the obsession with social media (‘Selfie’) or the quirks of the current music scene (‘Just for Gigs’). And there are tunes that talk of the more universal yet personal themes of love, loss and making music (‘Valerie’, ‘Stay’ and ‘Breaking Away’).
