On The Road - 23.02.2013 & 14.06.2013
It’s a lazy day and I am sitting here in my hotel room in thought
For 4 long days and sleepless nights, we’ve been living that dream alright
Ooh, was it a moment of ours or just a dream?
Why don’t it get out of my head and get real?
We’ve had our drinks, the boys are tired and we finally got to live our dream oh yeah
No women in tow, no money to play but a lot of pretty people out there tonight?
Ooh, was it a moment of ours or somethin’ in my head
Why don’t it get a bit more real and mystify
Stranger things have happened to us all…yeah…
Ooh for a moment out there had that dream
Greater…better…real…
What began as just an experiment has taken shape, from our sources we have come to be together to make something special out of just this one experiment; the truth is that this is an ideology, what we stand for, what we believe will take our souls back to the root of our existence, amongst the civilization of musicians, the special ones, who could and would transcend every single boundary to come into their own and create special moments that captivate your soul, mesmerize the senses and help us all breakthrough to the unknown, the splendid, the bountiful far away from the diabolical madness that the human has become. For what are we humans without the melody? Who are we without what we cannot sense? Why is the music so special and so important to us all? What defines it and what is it that melody cannot change? It transcends boundaries, people and cultures and it is the melody that is the reflection of the silence in our souls and it is needed for all of us need to bring together a special time for our humanity but are we there to believe or challenge? Are we there to make a difference? Can we…huh…can we? Can the melody lead us all back to the source? The very beginning…
Ooh, was it a moment of ours or somethin’ in my head
Why don’t it get a bit more real and mystify
Stranger things have happened to us all…yeah…
Ooh for a moment of mine I had it real…
