lyrics

meet me by the bridge you said but then you never came
so i stood for hours waiting in the rain
the landscape was a chequer board of green and brown decay
and i wondered if it’d had always been that way

its not easy to be upbeat
when the world around is in chaos and you’re strapped into the seat

but I’m trying, yes i’m trying
to count my blessings like my mother wrote
but it’s tiring, very tiring
like trying to keep a sinking ship afloat

come down to the town with me I know a cafe there
they do pour overs with beans they roast themselves
but no amount of yirgecheffe and caffeine magazine
will change the fact you’re nowhere to be seen

it’s not easy to be upbeat
when your plane is in a free fall and you’re thrown out of your seat

but I’m trying, yes i’m trying
to count my blessings like my mother say
but it’s tiring, very tiring
like trying to find your way out of a maze

I might never see you again, but that’s ok
I must learn not to fear the rain, because i’m ok

Let’s go climb a mountain we could see for miles around
but a fog came down and blanketed the world
stumbling through the nothingness i tried to reach the top
knowing full well you wouldn’t be there when I stopped

it’s not easy to be upbeat
when all around is darkness and you cannot see your feet

but I’m trying, yes i’m trying
to count my blessings like my mother does
but it’s tiring, very tiring
like clinging to an idea of what was

Confused and amazed about the different styles and the overload of lyrics, after my first full album sitdown. Struggeling to find the cohesion, but it will do for now. After a few listens..cd in hand too, starting to like it a lot. Anywhere i can find full lyrics? This must be amoré..my new favorite..italodisco meets dep mod ervanduijvenbode

Lockdown

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
