I suppose we almost got it right, but who knows Now I compose the feelings so uptight, the highs and lows So down the road I’ll follow And toss away tomorrow There’s no time Please relax and take it day by day, as they say These attacks we wage in every way, let them fade Your path is yours to take But know that in your wake I’m still there The truth is that none of this will matter And between loneliness and you I choose the latter Please my dear I beg of you not to forget this But move along They told us this would be the hardest part for us to cope with Case in point the fear of not knowing where to turn And still the truth remains the same For me I wouldn’t change a thing, no not at all And still the truth remains the same For me I wouldn’t change

You say it’ll be okay But I don’t know if I can bring myself to trust in that We jumped from one stone to the next without looking behind us or ahead And it took no time at all before I woke up in your bed Now I don’t know what love is but this ain’t it at least not yet I don’t know what love is but this ain’t it at least not yet My mind and thoughts are my worst enemy right now, yes they are I wish that I could leave them somewhere and run away Just to get away from it all for a while Cause I feel the pain I feel the pain I feel the pain But at least I feel something at all I feel the pain I feel the pain I feel the pain But at least I feel something, that’s life And I don’t know what love is but this ain’t it at least not yet I don’t know what love is, but this ain’t it at least not yet So if that’s what it will be then that’s what it will be And only what’s in front of me matters now The past is the past and those feelings that didn’t quite last Are all just a blur somehow So know yourself Know yourself, Know yourself Before you get to know anybody else Know yourself Know yourself Know yourself Before you get to know anybody else Cause life’s just full of stepping stones and I slipped I slipped on you Life’s just full of stepping stones and I slipped Oh I slipped on you And the funny thing is that I wouldn’t change a thing no no not one And the funny thing is that I wouldn’t have it any other way At all But I feel the pain Feel the pain Feel the pain But at least I feel something at all So know yourself Know yourself Know yourself Before you get to know someone else And I don’t know what love is but this ain’t it at least not yet I don’t know what love is but this ain’t it

Rearranged 04:39
Hey, yeah Travel on down to your watering hole Fill your cup, pay your bill and go Tap that pretty girl on the shoulder She says she’s 18 but I hope she’s older The sky’s the limit, or so I was told one day And if I wanna see it, lord knows there’s only one way Hey, yeah Grab my keys and drive a little bit down the road A tasteful evening with a little booze, green and snow I’ve heard it said that the best things in life are free Well tonight was cheap and I’m damn happy But in an instant, everything can change At least I know where I’ll be, when it’s all rearranged Hey, yeah

C'est La Vie 03:45
So hard when you know what to do but you just can’t bring yourself there Please god make this easy for me but I know that’d just be unfair Gotta pick myself up and move along Pretend like I just don’t care When it aches in my every move when I look and I see you’re not there And so they say Time makes all fade away But I can’t stay Cause melancholy takes over my body and I just wanna come down C’est la vie And so it will be No one needs to help me No one but myself But myself And so they say With time it all fades away But I still can’t stay Cause why does it seem every time that I dream all that I can see is your face C’est la vie And so it will be No one needs to help me No one but myself But myself

The Groove 04:18
My head is spinning around again Up and down, smiles frowns, it all just seems to blend in Seen it all go by in the blink of an eye Or did I just, dream it, dream it all I’ve been wandering round Looking for something profound To take me out of this town But I know I can move And I know I can keep on walking But I feel so out of the groove Don’t wanna do anything but Nothing, nothing, nothing at all Nothing, nothing at all Nothing, nothing, nothing at all Nothing, nothing at all Complacency and apathy can be your worst enemy But picking up and moving is slow business, yeah Am I moving hard or hardly moving at all now But I know I can move And I know I can keep on walking But I feel so out of the groove Don’t wanna do anything but Nothing, nothing, nothing at all Nothing, nothing at all Nothing, nothing, nothing at all Nothing, nothing at all
6.
Warmth 02:39
Sun rises up It shines on me Green all around White sand and deep blue sea And I can’t think of a better day Or any place I would rather be than here In the warmth of your love Stroll down the beach Sand between my toes Why or how we’re here Oh, we’ll never know But I can’t say That I really care Cause I’m here with you With the warmth of your love Sun sets again Cool night sets in Sweet ocean breeze kisses our skin The stars shine just for us Another day in paradise with you And the warmth of your love

about

This disc is the rough draft, just want to make it available to people who'd like it. Fully mixed and mastered versions will be released sometime this year. If you'd like to know when the final demo will be available, or would like a physical copy of this one, feel free to drop a line at alexrawdin@gmail.com.

In the meantime, please feel free to download any and all tracks HERE on bandcamp. Of course all tracks are free, however donations (as part of BC's "Name Your Own Price" feature) are gladly accepted, and will be used for recording an upcoming full length album. Thanks for the support!

Peace, love and good times.
