Feat. NATASHA KOCZY ON GUEST VOCALS. I wrote this tune after brief encounter with a meddlesome Rasta. To cheer me up he told me the meaning of life, which I have included in the lyrics, so don’t say I never give you anything.
lyrics
On a train, the landscape is a rush-a grey,
And tears are streaming down the window pain,
I contemplate nothing
Old man sits down and faces me,
He’s got a smile, I think it’s aimed at me,
He says “I know your problem,”
“If music’s for dancing,
And magic’s for the spellbound,
And love is for lovers,
What’s left for you?”
I ask “What the hell’s that supposed to mean?”
He says “Listen man, you’re the door now here’s the key,
Just open up and you’re free,”
“You wonder why you never understand,
And everybody seems to have their masterplans,
But you don’t know nothing”
“If music’s for dancing,
And magic’s for the spellbound,
And love is for lovers,
What’s left for you?”
But his words they seemed like mockery,
And nobody’s allowed to teach me,
nobody can teach me nothing.

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
