Take What You Can and Run 04:06
lyrics
Take what you can and run my son Take what you can Take what you can Take what you can and Take what you can and run Take what you can and run, take what you can Take what you can and run Take what you can, nothing new under the sun Take what you can and run Look around you Look at what you have become Take your fake tan and go sit out in the sun Take what you can and run Take what you can and run Take what you can and run Take what you can and run my son Take what you can and run Take what you can and run, take what you can Take what you can and run I'll watch the door, you hold the gun Take what you can and run Oh my god what did you do, what have we done Take what you can run Go back to where you came from Go back to that old slum Take what you can Take what you can and run

This Moment 04:41
lyrics
I, I have been waiting All of my life for this All this time Anticipating this moment Only to find that you You have been here waiting All along I, yeah I have been waiting All of my life for this Anticipating this moment in time Only to find you I, I have been waiting All of my life for this All this time Anticipating this moment Only to find that you You have been waiting Here all along I've been so wrong I'm sorry it took me so long

Nothing changed (but something did) 01:58
lyrics
I'm watching Shadows shifting across the screen And ten thousand blind eyes blink back at me Artificial ignorance Points of darkness and points of light And I think of a cliffs edge Upon which poised perceptions of need and desire Of desire and love Of love and fear They waver and sometimes they topple And nothing changed But something did

A Psalm of Sorts 04:24
lyrics
Oh Lord, they've got my back up against the wall My hands are tied, the cord pulled tight around my neck I'm scared and all Oh Lord I've tried, but they're just too strong for me Got me down on the ground begging please Oh Lord ain't there something you could do I'm only asking for a lightning bolt or two Oh Lord, the lynch mob are coming coming now for me They want to string me up Do you really want to see me swinging from the tallest tree? Oh Lord I'm a goner, and I just feel so weak And death, he just sits there refusing to speak Grinning back at me Oh Lord ain't there something you could do I'm only asking for a lightning bolt or two

about

This is the first part of what was originally conceived in 2018 as one large album to include a bunch of ideas that had been evolving over the previos 5 years or so. The material is basically drawn from my not-so-vast experience preparing live sets for solo guitar, various looped performances and the brief couple of years playing with Javier in the duo 'Elefante' ... these are some of the songs and tunes that emerged and needed a place to sit for a while.
