|
|
+ <b>I now have an album you can listen to and download!</b>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ In Isolation was written and recorded back in 2011. It's a concept album about a generation ship and the people who travel on it. This was the first 'Daydream' project I did (the latest being 'The Seashore')
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The album goes through a number of styles. From the opening instrumental [[track:launch-in-isolation|'Launch']] through the laid back electronic [[track:homesick-in-isolation|'Homesick']] to the electronic/orchestral [[track:generations-in-isolation|'Generations']], the prog rock centrepiece [[track:outside-in-isolation|'Outside']] to the piano ballad finale [[Another World|'Another World']].
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Also [[artist:malik-refaat]] makes an appearance playing saxophone on [[Our Choice|'Our Choice']] and [[Last Message|'Last Message']].

|
+Lyrics: |-
|
|
|
+ We were born to be explorers
|
|
|
+ Like our ancestors who'd navigate the globe
|
|
|
+ We've already seen its corners
|
|
|
+ So we left the earth to find ourselves a home
|
|
|
+ Mountains and seas are all gone
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Now the sun's so distant from us
|
|
|
+ In the empty space we know which way we'll go
|
|
|
+ And we're feeling like Columbus
|
|
|
+ On a trip to find our own America
|
|
|
+ So far out here all alone
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ We'll make our own map of the stars
|
|
|
+ Spend our lives in space so far apart and alone
|
|
|
+ All alone
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Well the stars are all around us
|
|
|
+ They look to the sky closely and see our path
|
|
|
+ Maybe someone else will join us
|
|
|
+ So we listen for a message from our past
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Though we still believe it set us free
|
|
|
+ We'll make a new discovery
|
|
|
+ But we'll never see our home
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ We'll make our own map of the stars
|
|
|
+ Spend our lives in space so far apart and alone
|
|
|
+ All alone
|
|
|
+ Alone

|
|
|
+ Lost lifetimes in deepest space
|
|
|
+ Old pathways that we retraced
|
|
|
+ All planets were empty shells or fiery hells
|
|
|
+ Nowhere to settle down
|
|
|
+ So we turned around
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Films showing us bluest skies
|
|
|
+ Reality to our eyes
|
|
|
+ Escape from these sterile halls to creature calls
|
|
|
+ And all life will surround us
|
|
|
+ 'Cause we turned around
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The old world found 'cause we turned around
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ In moments we'll make our pass
|
|
|
+ Eyes pressed up against the glass
|
|
|
+ We'll count down to our descent and soon we'll spend
|
|
|
+ Our days under the clouds
|
|
|
+ 'Cause we turned around
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ We'll feel the ground 'cause we turned around

|
|
|
+ Before we look outside
|
|
|
+ The image in your mind
|
|
|
+ Surrender it this moment
|
|
|
+ We've arrived
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Will we believe our eyes
|
|
|
+ and let the visions die?
|
|
|
+ We find it's not a world we recognise.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ And they said that we were lunatics
|
|
|
+ with daydreams to touch the stars.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ But how can we release
|
|
|
+ the cities in our dreams
|
|
|
+ and reconcile the truth with our belief.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ So we see it's not our home any more.
|
|
|
+ Is this real?
|
|
|
+ Have we reached the distant shore?
|
|
|
+ Is this real?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ What if the world is not what
|
|
|
+ we believed in when we were young?
|
|
|
+ When we stared at pictures on screens
|
|
|
+ of a life that just doesn't exist any more.
|
|
|
+ Just in dreams
|
|
|
+ In our dreams
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ But we just can't break down
|
|
|
+ and let their daydreams drown.
|
|
|
+ Because we can't accept this earth we found.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ And they called our parents lunatics
|
|
|
+ with daydreams to touch the stars.

|
+ So we packaged up their hopes
|

|
+ but we watched them one last time
|
|
|
+ If we send them with a note
|
|
|
+ then will we be free?
|
|
|
+ Will we be fine?
|

|

+ So we watched them go away

+ but we're still inside
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ And we found their dreams weren't stolen
|
|
|
+ but carried with us as we float.
|
|
|
+ If every action we do for them
|
|
|
+ then how will we see?
|
|
|
+ How will we know?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ So we sent our last message
|
|
|
+ back to earth so we can leave it all behind.
|
|
|
+ Still we won't forget it
|
|
|
+ 'till we die.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Now we sit here cold and broken
|
|
|
+ as our plans all fall apart.
|
|
|
+ But there's an old one we have chosen
|
|
|
+ Now that it's time
|
|
|
+ we must depart
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ And we've sent our last message

|
|
+ Now, we're far away
|
|
|
+ it's just a pale blue dot in space.
|
|
|
+ We count the days
|
|
|
+ but their meaning slowly fades.
|
|
|
+ Drifting in this metal cage
|
|
|
+ Heading out toward our fate
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ So we sing:
|
|
|
+ While we're trapped inside,
|
|
|
+ the stars can't touch me.
|
|
|
+ So let's take our lives to another world
|
|
|
+ I don't know how we spent so long in isolation
|
|
|
+ when there's so much out there to find.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ So, let's make this shell our home for now
|
|
|
+ we've got so long to go before we can set down.
|
|
|
+ But now we're free
|
|
|
+ we've reached [[Your Orbit|escape velocity]],
|
|
|
+ we're past the termination shock,
|

|
|
|
+ A place out there to make our home.
|
|
|
+ No longer holding on in quiet desperation
|
|
|
+ 'cause we just watch the stars go by.
