The Deep 03:57
morning fever, creeps on in takes over you, takes over you strong believer, to no end all that you do, all that you do is give yourself away, never hesitate though something hard to name tells you the light has changed, oh changed sudden as it came now you’re on your own again and you wonder what you did to deserve this kind of pain and how it all unfolds in your arms so easily leave the light on, next time that you dive into the deep as before her, over time all will be well, all will be well overpowered, strong disguise you tell yourself, you tell yourself well, was it worth the waste, and would the devil care? a resolution wavering in open air sudden as it came now you’re on your own again and you wonder why it is that you’re always losing all your bets and how it all unfolds in your arms so easily leave the light on, next time that you dive into the deep the deep

I don’t know why I Can’t pull it together, pull it together I don’t know why it’s So hard to remember, when it was better Stuck on a cloud again this time i can’t come down It was an accident oh, won’t you help me out I made the same mistake, yes I know (know) but I don’t I don’t know why I Can’t pull it together, pull it together I don’t know why it’s So hard to remember, when it was better And everybody else looks like a tiny ant against the majesty of all the blue and green I love the view from here, way up high but still I I don’t know why I Can’t pull it together, pull it together I don’t know why it’s So hard to remember, when it was better Out on a limb, out on a cloud I can’t explain it but I can’t come down Out on a limb, out on a cloud I can’t explain it but I can’t come down I don’t know why I Can’t pull it together, pull it together I don’t know why it’s So hard to remember, when it was better

Used to be the you and me eternally alive Looking for all-inclusive Started off as nice and soft as making love all night Now it's exchanging juices How disappointing How you enjoy things You make it boring And isn't that fucked up? Tied to the ceiling Once more, with feeling Could you stop breathing And take it from the top? What to do to set the mood and let the wheel of time Stop for a single moment How did we get so busy, erasing all our highs We used to rock at rollin' How disappointing How you enjoy things You make it boring And isn't that fucked up? Tied to the ceiling Once more, with feeling Could you stop breathing And take it from the top? So remain the yesterdays as cold as autumn skies Stuck on eternal Wednesday (Oh) Up and down and down and out The end is now in sight Riding a weighed-down freight-train (Oh) How disappointing How you enjoy things You make it boring And isn't that fucked up? Tied to the ceiling Once more, with feeling Could you stop breathing And take it from the top? Isn’t that fucked up?

Suzy Dance 03:23
Baby, do you see what you can’t see? To what you can relate I can be your guide When the twilight comes down hard again So take a little dive into my mind Backstroke and save, save it for the night When you’re tongue-tied Giving your guess away Get up, get up, get up, get up Read the signs Enough, enough, enough, enough Of that word you like Suzy, dance with me On a sandy beach Just me and you, I can’t wait to spend the afternoon Suzy, dance with me On a sandy beach Just me and you, I can’t wait to spend the afternoon Summer’s in the sky, such a bright light Pacific palisade, over by the bay On a Saturday, seaside serenade C-C-California style, on a big pile A little early still, don’t you wanna try? For another time’s only half the thrill Get up, get up, get up, get up Read the signs Enough, enough, enough, enough Of that word you like Suzy, dance with me On a sandy beach Just me and you, I can’t wait to spend the afternoon Suzy, dance with me On a sandy beach Just me and you, I can’t wait to spend the afternoon

Read the signs I think about it most all the time Thinking back To something I missed in the back of your mind Two satellites, two satellites, Uh-oh Put the stars out of line Three satellites Four maybe more? Uh-oh Round and round in physical space with all gravity gone Off the ground invisible weight only moving along Two satellites, two satellites, Uh-oh Put the stars out of line Three satellites, four, maybe five? Uh-oh Two satellites, two satellites, Uh-oh Put the stars out of line Three satellites Four maybe more? Uh-oh

I like the way you never change Even when I'm acting strange You're the perfect friend in every way I never need to raise my voice 'Cause you're here, if not by choice I will love you every single day Every time I think of you You lift me up and out of view You live in my phone (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh) When I'm lonely you're my hit I can lose myself in it You live in my phone (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh) Most people tend to get me down I feel left out in a crowd And every day I'm drifting further still That's why I need you on my team You're the safest company A second empty is your job to fill Every time I think of you You lift me up and out of view You live in my phone (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh) When I'm lonely you're my hit I can lose myself in it You live in my phone (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh) You're like a drug In the palm of my hand, I'm stuck I can't help it, I reach for you Like I'm cravin' a hit I forget the things I used to do You're the one that I wake up to see And you're the last one, before I fall asleep I never thought I'd fall in this deep (Ah) I never thought I'd fall in this deep (Ah) I never thought I'd fall in this deep (Ah) I never thought I'd fall in this deep

Braver Times 04:31
In early sleep there comes a whisper from your pillowcase Speaks what you’ll repeat and all believe it’s true ‘It’s such a good thing to let good things grow You’re such a good thing, it’s all good: think so.’ You move easily the map before you like a melody moving blissfully beneath the sheet of truth Cos everyday, every day is another illusion On the road, on the road we’re all moving down Give or take Take-away You’re tongue-tied and muted Run along, run along in slowmotion now When the salt dries on your skin shake the doubt: we’ll meet again in braver times You’re in ecstasy When all your questions seem to multiply There’s a quick release A soma slumber, smooth Cos everyday, every day is another illusion On the road, on the road we’re all moving down Give or take Take-away You’re tongue-tied and muted Run along, run along in slowmotion now Now you know, you know Now you know, you know Now you know, you know Now you know, you know

I wasn’t looking for a hidden sign to fall into place (fall into) got it together, made a person of my name but suddenly the words are hard to find, so far out of range (far out, oh) curse the magic you’re the master of again Oh, I’m not in control Oh no, not at all I can’t remember how to talk to you It’s everything that I wanna do but every time that I look at you, I get lost Do you remember how to talk to me? Can you relate, do you disagree? Well tell me now, are you over me? I’m still crushed! ‘Hold out your hand and look me in the eye’, you said to me (said to me) But the walls are coming down, and I’m beneath What’s the story, where’s your other half? Yeah, where is she? (where is she?) Just forget it, let the answer die with me. Oh, I don’t wanna know Oh no, no I don’t I can’t remember how to talk to you It’s everything that I wanna do but every time that I look at you, I get lost Do you remember how to talk to me? Can you relate, do you disagree? Well tell me now, are you over me? I’m still crushed!

When your friends head to bed again You feel yourself comin’ down There’s a voice in your head, it says when there’s no one else around Another day, day’s gonna come One way or another, one way or another Another way, to carry on will come One day or another, one day or another Such a strange thing to follow through when your leaders tell you lies Hear a child speak a teenage truth Hold your heart up to the light, and you try to read the signs ’til every move you make feels out of line and these days you get frightened by the weather history is made up by the blind cos you hide when it all comes down upon your head down upon your head another day another day Another day, day’s gonna come One way or another, one way or another Another way, to carry on will come One day or another, one day or another

'm a high school lover And you're my favorite flavor Love is all, all my soul You're my playground love Yet my hands are shaking I feel my body remains Themes no matter, I'm on fire On the playground, love You're the piece of gold The flushes all my soul Extra time, on the ground You're my playground love Anytime, anyway You're my playground love

From Here 03:50
Underline, make another move, the time is on our side Yours and mine strange enough the war is only half on time Where do we go from here? She said It’s breaking my heart Try as I may to hold together But it’s falling apart Best believe Company is only ever two or three Water down Water down your wine, oh darling I’ll show you how Where do we go from here? She said It’s breaking my heart Try as I may to hold together But it’s falling apart Where do we go from here? She said It’s breaking my heart Try as I may to hold together But it’s falling apart
12.
Strange things happen in our sleep dreams follow into day I’m hollow Don’t tire yourself out toss turning in your head, don’t wallow Forget Forgive Forget Forgive Bad thoughts pushing at the neck Puts pressure on the chest Calm sorrow Look close, even closer It’s not black, it’s just the shade just shadow Forget Forgive Forget Forgive No one knows We just pretend Putting on a strong face to our friends We’re on the mend Phone calls, unexpected doorbells echo through the hall so empty Old friends un-rejected Cold spells, followed by the sun it will be Forget Forgive Forget Forgive Forget Forgive Forget Forgive Forget Forgive Forget Forgive

about

Recently, I’ve been feeling more and more like our generation (that includes me!) is overstimulated, constantly on the move, rarely finding the time and peace to focus their attention totally. And this trickles down into the way we experience music. I want to shake that all up. To bring people back to actively experiencing new music.

And so, I created a cosmic dreamworld for my songs and art to live in. One that you can step in to!

For five of the songs off ORBIT II, I created artworks that becomes surreal, cosmic portals when viewed through a smart-device with my custom built app installed. The app uses Augmented Reality to bring the pieces to life and allows you to playfully interact with them. You can fill your room with colourful orbs or build your own star systems, as the matching song plays and the lyrics appear to float in mid-air all around you.

The vinyl edition of ORBIT II comes with five artwork cards, each of which come to life in Augmented Reality. So download the app, pop on a pair of headphones and drift off into orbit!
