I AM VITI LEVU GIANT COLM

The ocean doesn’t want me today

But I’ll be back tomorrow to play
And the strangles will take me
Down deep in their brine
The mischievous braingels
Down into the endless blue wine
I’ll open my head and let out
All of my time.
I’d love to go drowning
And to stay and to stay
But the ocean doesn’t want me today
I’ll go in up to here
It can’t possibly hurt
All they will find is my beer
And my shirt
A rip tide is raging
And the life guard is away
But the ocean doesn’t want me today
The ocean doesn’t want me today.

What a life i lead in the summer
What a life i lead in the spring
What a life i lead in the windy breeze
What a life i lead in the spring

What a life i lead when the sun breaks free
As a giant torn from the clouds
What a life indeed when that ancient seed
Is a berry watered and plowed

What a life
What a life
What a life
What a life

What a life i lead in the summer
What a life i lead in the spring
What a life i lead in the windy breeze
What a life i lead in the spring

Such a precious instant,

Perfect, unintended,

And nothing there to help us hold on.

Hold on!

So I’ll love her like I loved my first

I’ll laugh until my stomach bursts

I’ll dream until I turn to clay

And Ill be okay.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

The New Black Gold by Miracle of Sound

Music and Lyrics by: Gavin Dunne
Performed by: Miracle of Sound
Video Editing: Justin Clouse

A glaring neon glow illuminates this street
Breathe in these human vapors, sweat and heavy heat
Hi-tech cathedrals rise and fall in great ravines
Colossal steeples to the gods in the machines

Broken body built anew
Spirit lingers, torn in two
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold

Fossil fuels to slavery
Political duplicity
Every great commodity’s been sold

Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within

Your secret science conquers nature’s cruel laws
But inside your wires lie a million mortal flaws
Electric sleep I dream inside my honeycomb
I stay alive inside my hive of skin and chrome

Broken body built anew
Spirit lingers, torn in two
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold

Fossil fuels to slavery
Political duplicity
Every great commodity’s been sold

Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within

And then I wrote another concept album

It’s called Eclipse.
It’s about a city ruled by a guy called Mr. Moon and how the citizens rise up against him.

ENJOY!

Take a selfish lover for a while
And apply the tricks you learn to one you love
Convince yourself the research was worthwhile
And file it under “N” for “No harm done”

Lie with a smile in your eyes if you can
These are the things that will make you a man

There is nothing inconsistent about a liar
He can never change the course on which he’s set
Decisions in the white heat of desire
Think nothing of the bitter cold regret

And sins of the father will wake in the son
Till you can’t count the cost of the damage you’ve done

These are the things that will make you a man
Oh how can I tell you how sorry I am?

I took a selfish lover, no harm done
Forgetting all the gentle love she gave
The single indiscretion weighed a tonne
And it pushed our little boat beneath the waves

You hang around for a living
Blown in the wind like a pinned butterfly
Monarch of ever-forgiving
Some of us wonder if you want to die

Would you want to die?

No Matter What - A Song

We sat here on the cliff
As we waited for the sun to go down
The Arizona heat started creeping in
And we were miles away from town
But if we pretend that we are cold
We can stay here and try to forget
The rolling heat that sweeps all through the land
And try to ignore the beads of sweat

It doesn’t matter if the sun burns off my skin
Cause no matter what I’m going to stay true
It doesn’t matter what else I could be doing right now
Cause I’m going to stay with you

And if you don’t think you understand
Then listen now to my words
We are alone here in the burning desert
Just us, the tumbleweed and the birds
So as we stand here on the cliff
Believe in me and take my hand
Hold it tight and give me a kiss
Then maybe you’ll understand

It doesn’t matter if the sun burns off my skin
Cause no matter what I’m going to stay true
It doesn’t matter what else I could be doing right now
Cause I’m going to stay with you

It doesn’t matter if you’re the last person I meet
Cause no matter what I’m going to stay true
It doesn’t matter if we stay in the desert forever
Cause I’m going to stay with you

Yeah, I’m going to stay with you

Skeleton’s Lullaby by Ludo

Goodnight all my children, now you must lay down your heads.
You wouldn’t want the sun to catch you missing from your beds.
I wish that we could stay here, I wish with all my heart.
But, to the earth, we’ve been committed, and now we must depart.

Goodnight

The Lady in the Painting - A poem

I fell in love with the lady in the painting
But she could never love me
She can’t breath the air I breath
She can’t see what I can see
She may be just oily marks on a canvas
But her colours make me sing
Oh, what I’d give to go for a walk
With the lady in the painting

I fell in love with the lady in the painting
But I could never win her heart
Try as I might it falls on the deaf ears
Of a lonely piece of art
I serenade her night and day
So, I guess, it’s rather unfortunate
That the person I am pining for
Is a perfectly painted portrait

I fell in love with the lady in the painting
But her colours are starting to fade
And the canvas is starting to tear and crumple
But I’ll never forget what we made
Her voice sings forever in my heart
But my love won’t stop the raining
And of all the people that I could fall for
I fell in love with the lady in the painting

Rest, headstrong brother

Rest, heart-sleeve brother

Sleep now, proud brother

Dawn brings love lasting

Cry no more, brother

Sleep

Sleep.
