Oh, you
You are a part
Of a greater song
A graceful tune
And you
You have your head
In the clouds
More like a firmament
Reflecting majesty
All around
And you
You see yourself
In eternal garb
Your heart is
Anchored in truth
And you
You know what’s right
You can see far
So far away,
So far away
Walk around…
And find your pace
Walk around…
And claim your place
Walk around…
And save this space
Walk around me
Walk around…
And have a feast
Walk around…
And slay a beast
Walk around…
And bring some peace
Walk around me
Walk around…
And shine a light
Walk around…
And end the night
Walk around…
And be my sight
Walk around me
Walk around…
And have your way
Walk around…
Call it a day
Walk around…
What else is there to say
Walk around me

Futureman (Demo)

If I were the future, I would wear the best clothes,
I would come to tell you, things that only few know,
And if you were to ask me, “Would I be a rich man?”
I could only tell you, that wealth is all you have.
If was the water, I’d cover you with ease,
And were you to give, I’d take all filth and all disease,
And if you were to ask me, “Would I be a rich man?”
I could only tell you, that wealth is all you have.
If was a fire, I’d purify your bones,
And with your desire, you’d sanctify a home,
And if you were to ask me, “Would I be a rich man?”
I could only tell you, that wealth is all you have.
If I was Messiah, I’d captivate your mind,
Were I to do one thing, you would respond in kind,
And if you were to ask me, “Would I be a rich man?”
I could only tell you, that wealth is all you have.

How the West was won
Not by fist or by knife or by gun
How the sea did part
Just sit back and watch Him do His art
For with words did creation sing
Spoken in everything
Formless with emptiness
Spirit was hovering
Hmmm…
How the sky turned blue
Well, the color's desire is for you
How the birds did sing
It ain't hard when you know you're own King
The doorposts are bleeding
Grandma's interceding
The deep is revealing
What thief has been stealing
Hmmm…
How we missed the mark
We've come such a long way from the ark
(Now) souls are merchandized
But only the victor gets the prize
Now that the time has come
Spit out my bubble gum
I'm not the only one
Built for the Holy One
Hmmm…

Now I see what you mean
The Perpetual Motion Machine
It’s big and it’s strong and it’s fast
Built to outlast your own past
I can see that it’s real
Win or win-win or no deal
It runs on goodwill and fresh jams
Shuffle your feet clap your hands
Build your own ideal
Build your own Ohio
30 years to the day
He taught the band how to play
Raise your hands bow your knees
Rehearse all your thank yous and please
Once long ago there were kings
Today there are bosses and things
Hungry for a different scene:
The Perpetual Motion Machine
Build your own ideal
Build your own Ohio

Trapped is the man, who waits on a ghost
Never believes who loves him the most
Always at war with who-he’s-to become
Oblivious to oblivion
Gone is the man, who stands at the door
Cries in the sheets, and kicks on the floor
Couldn’t be held to definition
Oblivious to oblivion
Weak is the man who eats with a spoon
Does what he can from morning to noon
Wakes in a fog and such has begun
Oblivious to oblivion
Tall is the man who smiles when it’s right
Works all the day, and rests all the night
Love for us all, bride and children
Oblivious to oblivion

Everybody Knows (Demo)

It’s time…
To put all these words aside
Yeah, I know…
In time…
You’ll see all these truths align
Yeah, I know…
Inside…
You’ll see all these worlds collide
Yeah, I know…
Everybody knows
The way to set you on fire
But what’s a boy to do with two tons
Of burning desire?
Everybody knows
At times it can be so hard to reach you
So we’re gonna hit the books and find
Something that we can all teach you
Everybody knows
Your driving is like that of a madman
But it works out pretty nice when
The situation calls for a madman
Everybody knows
There’s a song that only you know the dance to
But how we gonna learn all the moves
If you don’t give us a chance to?

If You are well
then I am well
then all is well
if You are well
If You are true
all that I do
and be made new
if You are true
If You’re here now
then I’m here now
eyes, hands, and plow
if You’re here now
If You’re alive
I am alive
Oh, overdrive
if You’re alive
If You are good
then I am good
my new boyhood
if You are good

Night, Harbor, Helsinki
Where will I look up and then find me?
For a life, squandered, with much thinking
Hence the mighty Zap that sets me free
Night, Harbor, Helsinki
Where will I look up and then find me?
When it feels like the boat is sinking
He comes walking on the Galilee

Posthumously (Demo)
02:06
|

|
In the worlds where you’ve been living
There’s a dance that you may know
Even though you’ve been forgiven
You still have a ways to go
Posthumously…
With the time that you’ve been given
You devise a plan for change
When it goes against all thinking
Welcome to the Golden Age
Posthumously…
And it goes without much saying
You’re a man of ancient tastes
When you spend your whole life praying
You will get to see my face
Posthumously…

The words don't come out right
I say them every night
I put them in the light
Come back tomorrow
If what You say is true
There's nothing I can do
But give myself to You
All of my sorrow
For black sheep, dark horses, and underdogs
What is all I say
It's how I spend the day
Make it go away
Take me, I'm hollow
Change is what's in store
Ever giving more
Reaching through the door
Lovely but shallow
For black sheep, dark horses, and underdogs
We’re singing this
for black sheep, dark horses, and underdogs
How blessed are the feet
That bring good tidings
Like the joy
(that) skips over the hills
When finally we meet
'mongst curious findings
Say the word,
He came to set the captives free

It’s ripe with fire
And real-time conflict
It’s opportune…
It’s gaining ground
It’s changing format
It’s after you…
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out of your head
To speak the words
That bring the kingdom
To honor Him…
To do the dance
The dance of David
To worship Him…
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out of your head

All Your Eyes (Demo)

Can you tell
When I call
Samuel,
Through the wall
Time and space
Floating bed
Mystic face
Cosmic head
And all your eyes,
All your eyes,
All your eyes,
Fixed on me
Flying spear
Buzzing string
Foreign fear
Krazy king
Pagan sword
Holy bread
Heed the word of the Lord
Cut off his head
And all your eyes,
All your eyes,
All your eyes,
Fixed on me
Mantle thrown
Who am I to you?
Kiss my own
And follow you
Homeward bound
This is what you do
Give me your spirit now
Make that times two
And all your eyes,
All your eyes,
All your eyes,
Fixed on me

Har Adonai recommends:
Let Yourself Be Huge
by Cloudkicker
It's minimalistic, but it's just right. Kinda dreamy, it takes you on a journey.
go to album
A powerhouse follow-up - makes me think of the Pumpkins in the early 90s - except it's not the early 90s, and Cloudkicker is not the Pumpkins (in a good way).
go to album
Lots of beauty in here - just take it in with the accompanying visuals from the Tycho website.

An energetic blast of noisy, twangy-guitar driven, garage rock from a quartet who were down and out in LA.

Sleek, luxurious pop music from The City and Horses, where bright synths and simmering rhythms support sharp, narartive lyrics.
