Movement 1: Don't Wait
05:03

|
Sitting opposite myself from miles away;
The reflections don’t align with the stem,
And a changing world overwhelms…
The naive man will want to die for a noble cause,
But the wise man will want to live for a humble one.
Is this not enough?
Take your time, there’s no rush.
Forget, forgive, forward.
We will grow.
Think less, feel more.
If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it.
Why is this not enough for you?
You ignored the world, locked yourself away,
Tried to find something else to make life worth living…
Of course you found someone else’s answer.
One day…

We are lost in the fall.
The wind rushing past, falling with the sand
That sets the pace of time.
No hooks to reel me in,
The fisherman has better lines to throw
As they stand at the edge of this waterfall
Catching the lucky ones who lost their way.
But maybe we don’t have time on our side anymore,
We can’t break the cycle, I see no earth below me.
I’m living in the fall,
We played god…
Wishing, hoping, praying,
Buying, craving binging
It’s all a misplaced search for contentedness.
The answer to it all isn’t what we need.
Think less, feel more.
Materialism is a misplaced search for contentedness.

Movement 3: All You Need
03:29
|
|||
|
What lies behind and in front of you,
Matters little when compared to what lies within you,
Right now.
Don’t let them tell you what you need,
All you need is what you have.
All you have is all you need.
All you need is what you have.

I'm lost in my homemade hell.

How do we choose who to save?
What do we know?
What do I know?
But still we do nothing, just add them to the list.
Still we do nothing, ignorance is bliss.
We just need to be kind,
To Humankind.
Circle the ball of light that represents your essence,
Gliding illicitly in the air that you create.
Shadows circle but you gravitate towards the core.
Breathe in everything that you possess,
With kindness.
One Day
I will ignore the clock
One day
I’ll see beauty in the beautiful
One day
I’ll be ready for love
One day
I’ll grow into the man that I want to be.

LYRICS:
Sitting opposite myself from miles away;
The reflections don’t align with the stem,
And a changing world overwhelms…
The naive man will want to die for a noble cause,
But the wise man will want to live for a humble one.

Take your time, there’s no rush.
Forget, forgive, forward.

MOVEMENT 2:
We are lost in the fall.
The wind rushing past, falling with the sand
That sets the pace of time.
No hooks to reel me in,
The fisherman has better lines to throw
As they stand at the edge of this waterfall
Catching the lucky ones who lost their way.
But maybe we don’t have time on our side anymore,
We can’t break the cycle, I see no earth below me.

MOVEMENT 3:
What lies behind and in front of you,
Matters little when compared to what lies within you,
Right now.
Don’t let them tell you what you need,
All you need is what you have.
All you have is all you need.
All you need is what you have.
MOVEMENT 4:
When you don’t know who you are, or what you want;
Try to find the line between what’s right and what’s wrong.
Always choose on the basis of love.
You will learn to strike the balance, don’t be thoughtless
But over-thinking can poison us.
Some things need time and space to heal,
Help me with your sweet lies.
Movement 5:
How do we choose who to save?
What do we know?
What do I know?
But still we do nothing, just add them to the list.
Still we do nothing, ignorance is bliss.
We just need to be kind,
To Humankind.
Circle the ball of light that represents your essence,
Gliding illicitly in the air that you create.
Shadows circle but you gravitate towards the core.
Breathe in everything that you possess,
With kindness.
One Day
I will ignore the clock
One day
I’ll see beauty in the beautiful
One day
I’ll be ready for love
One day
I’ll grow into the man that I want to be.

I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too

What a creative and unique EP from David! I love the intricacy and level of detail in the soundscape so much. There's always something for my ear to catch each time I visit this release. This is one of his more underrated releases, in my opinion. Great job, David! :D

I like the fact that this guy is not in “omg I love djent so much I’ll only let *that* express in my songs” mode. With his friends he crafts thoughtful and diverse songs which can be either playful or touching.

The seven tracks on this riveting LP offer a melodic take on experimental music, at times approaching post-rock grandeur.

The Practice of Love

The experimental artist takes on intimacy and disconnection in her latest—and most accessible—work.

Walking a thin line between garage and ambient music, the new album from ginla sets gentle vocal melodies against twitching production.

The buildup section in the early-middle part of "Mbinguni Amina" is one of my favorite bits of music that's ever been written, and the drop that follows that buildup is the the heaviest drop of all time. Don't @ me.
