River rewind Bridges across time Lovers drink wine Under the trees I used to climb Down by the battleground Cus years ago we fought our war But we don't want to fight no more Cannons, fireballs Heard through thin hotel walls Rain falls, spirits rise Four songs deep Eight stories high High above the battleground Don't ever wanna come back down High above the battle ground Remember, remember Armies Crumble when they hear the sound High above the battleground Remember Oh, I'm in heaven The battle far below Yeah, we're in heaven Here on the eighth floor Cus years ago we fought our war But we don't want to fight no more Don't ever wanna come back down High above the battle ground Remember, remember Armies Crumble when they hear the sound High above the battleground Remember

You lift me up You lift me down You're what I want You're what I need It is in the air tonight I am the sun and you are the moon I am the one and you are the two It is in the air tonight levitate your love embrace It is in the air tonight Thoughts of you that fill my head So far away, so distant I've forgotten all we had All we shared and all we planned We will see you when we sleep We will feel you when we dream For our heart has gone to bed You will always find us there You lift me up You lift me down I am the sun and you are the moon It is in the air tonight levitate your love embrace It is in the air tonight

Don't look, don't watch me drown Even though it's on YouTube now Some kids will kill for fame Not everyone wants a Facebook page When you're young and it's real, It's so endless you feel it's intense Don't look now 'cause here they come A generation of "Number ones" Sick from watching gloom and doom They'll catch you up in Katmandu Massive masturbate, ate everything (When you're young and it's real, It's so endless you feel it's intense) Incubate, exterminate everything (When you're young and it's real, It's so endless you feel it's intense) Freedom Free from freedom Need to be free Free from freedom We all need to be free Free from freedom Freedom's not free Free from the need to be free

Hey, I really need to write this down, to stop myself from runnin' around so I can get this finished some time today. Hey, I need your help in gettin' this down, or I'm not gonna remember these sounds and the lyrics will just trickle away... Before I forget. Before I think better of it. Before I regret every single little part of it. Hey, that ol' devil is doin' the rounds, wrackin' these ol' hands with the doubts, gettin' stronger with the onset of age. Before I forget. Before I think better of it. Before I regret every single little part of it.

I can't wait Reality Everything you do to me Everything you are Hold me Run your fingers through my hair Say that you showed me Your transparency Waiting all across the ocean Star into explosion In tranquility The situation /Touch me Let me feel emotion? MC Mooks: Keep it emotion I'm swimming deep in the ocean I've got that magical potion feelings gone frozen vibes beyond me positive feeling energy reason Cheat level rise to a heaven and they ain't got nothing on me yet i'm stuck with no reason but i'm a strong positive vibe flowing rapper like a river facing daily struggles overcoming no this negative shiver but whatevers keeping me going works for a while my life is flowing as reality takes hold Imma keep my music playing like Hold me Run your fingers through my hair Say that you showed me Your transparency I can't wait Reality Everything you do to me Everything you are I can't wait

Did you shake my old friend When the devil found you I'll say a prayer my old friend But it won't help you No one left, left up there Who can judge you When dirt falls like snow From bedroom windows Head of sin, wild frame Nothing to stop you Now you can’t look away From the vultures Yeah you messed around Out of the street lights Yeah you messed around And it don’t feel right And night falls With nowhere to go What would you give, my old friend To go out dancing Like a child, on your knees You've come in weeping Wild beast, my old friend No day in court I’ll give you time, I’ll give you space Love and comfort And night falls With no where to go

And all the lines are drawn and written in water Of nothing beyond wordless son, moon & daughter Another screaming being One more riptide freeze frame On the long road backwards We're all equal again And the satellites decline and the waves that warp your mind and the strangeling wake of time are all coming down Are all coming down Are all coming down to this Where all these dreams convene Symbol and sword hang Of moments between nameless bell, book and burning Another blueing garden One last moonlit shadowplay From forgotten pages We're all equal again And the satellites decline and the waves that warp your mind and the strangeling wake of time are all coming down Are all coming down Are all coming down to this

about

Cosmic Coffin Compilation Album Vol 1.

It was an alchemical collaborative experiment, manifesting in an amazing anthology of musical trends.

As home recording became a viable option for many musicians, their recordings became more revealing. Along with improvisation, first-takes and experimentation, so-called mistakes were being heard.

As opposed to polished studio recordings, “home-tapers” often leave behind the sonic mark making of creative processes in their recordings.

Max Davies says "to subvert the standard protocols in order to invite something unexpected into the recording process. Sometimes the best things occur as accidents."

There’s a collective influence at play here both in each song’s overall relationship to each other and in their exclusive individual inventiveness.

There are many one-off moments on the album that highlight specific attributes. Such as one guitar solo, one rap, one fade out, etc. This helps characterise the album as a macrocosm as each artist contributes their particular affection to the whole.

Consequently there’s a unique overall vibe to the recording. An eclectic mix highlighting the genres of psychedelica, darkwave, electronica, freak folk, alt-rock, post-punk and lo-fi. Each component fuses seamlessly together as a whole and will be appealing to those who enjoy listening to an entire album in one sitting.
