OPTIMISTIC STATE OF MIND. Early morning brand new day Your dawn breaks in a whole new way Your darkest hour, says goodnight Grab the moment embrace the light Feel the life fizzing through your veins You snapped the rope now break the chains They found a way to heal your soul So if you stumble we'll break your fall Tears are all behind you now. Fears are all behind you now Chorus You're living in a higher place, see the smile upon your face You've battled hard to heal your soul, never let your spirit fall Chase the beast track them all, you've slayed demons and watch them fall Should they ever rise again, we'll arm your soul and start again Tears are all behind you now, fears are all behind you now You're living in a higher place, see the smile upon your face You've battled hard, to heal your soul never let your spirit fall The edge of fear is a cold stark place, from dark to light you've run your race You're living in a higher place, feel the summer breeze upon your face Time has come for you to fly, your spirits soar, a natural high Bluest skies, above your head, dawn and sunrises from your bed Spread your wings and fly away, to distant lands so far away, far away Optimistic state of mind, has cured your soul and feed your mind Desire for life and strength of heart, has pulled you through, the toughest part You're living in a higher place, see the smile, upon your face You've battled hard, to heal your soul, never let your spirit fall You're living in a higher place, see the smile upon your face You've battled hard to heal your soul never, let your spirit fall Never let your spirit fall

Is This Love 04:26
IS THIS LOVE. I can't believe it's true He's got a hold on you And now it tears my soul apart The reason I'm alive How do I survive I need to keep on pushing through Chorus Is this love, is this love we're fighting for Is this love, walking out the door Is this love, love we're fighting for Is this love, or is this war If you could only see Just what you mean to me The light that guides me through my world There's nothing more to say You turn and look away And now you're walking out the door

Tune 05:06
TUNE. Tune in explode your mind. We're a product so divine. So unique, made in space. Exclusive to the human race. There's a trait that we all share. Waves of sound that fill the air. An energy that shakes the ground. It can turn you upside down. Stomp your feet spin you around. Turn a field into a town. Chorus When your working day is done. Smash the gloom and have some fun. Party till the break of dawn. Soaking up the summer sun. Music fills the midnight air. Feel the wind blow through your hair. Watch the day fade into night. Music makes the world so bright. Tune can last a thousand years. Expand your mental universe. Remind you of your finest day. Bring you to your knees to pray. So let your music take control. Heal your mind and free your soul. Drag you from your deepest hole. It can turn you upside down. Move your feet spin you around. Turn a field into a town.

Stormy Night 04:47
STORMY NIGHT. I was sitting there thinking of you On a lonely Sunday evening Looking out on a stormy night view After hearing that you were leaving You said you weren't good enough That was just, a cover up You had better not, find another Coz' he won't be, a living lover Sitting looking up, at the ceiling Giving me such a sinking feeling You are everywhere I turn my head Looking back on all the things you said The more I think of you the worse the pain And now you're gonna' take all the blame Sitting thinking what you're doing now I've got to move on, but I don't know how I have tried, drinking till I can't see So I can't feel what you're doing to me Now the bottles gone, and so are you And I'm left here feeling blue Chorus Oh can you tell me why we went wron Oh won't you tell me why you're gone Oh can you tell me why we went wrong Sitting looking up, at the ceiling It's giving me such a sinking feeling You are everywhere I turn my head Looking back on all the things you said The more I think of you the worse the pain And now you're gonna' take all the blame Sitting thinking what you're doing now I've got to move on, but I don't know how I have tried, drinking till I can't see So I can't feel what you're doing to me Now the bottles gone, and so are you And I'm left here feeling blue

KILL THE MACHINES. Run to the forest, hide in the trees Our way of life, brought to its knees Once dictators, now the oppressed Backs to the wall a survival test Time to stop running, the fight back is coming APP was designed for overall greed Time to plant, the destruction seed Learn and discover, we're like no other Chorus. Throw me a lifeline, coz' I'm on the frontline Fight for survival, a mortal revival Show me a reason, coz' I've stopped believin' End all the madness, kill the machines We are the ones who can make them fall We are the ones who can take control Programs running, seek and destroy Erase the resistance, erase us all Shoulder to shoulder, fight for each other Make your stand, take your place It's all about, the human race We can recover, fix one another Hack the encryption, crack the code System melt down, overload Watch the machines, stutter and fall Never to rise, and trouble us all Cry no more tears, take down your fears Threat of the coded, forever has gone System has hung, the war is done Learn and discover, to live with each other

FIRE IN YOUR EYES. There's a fire in your eyes, are you spinning me lies Are you thinking of leaving me baby There's a man over there with a smile on his face Is he thinking of takin' my lady Chorus. Believe me, I just can’t live without you Believe me, I just can’t go o You're the beat in my heart, now you broke us apart Can you see the hurt in me baby My hearts on a roll, then it tumbles and falls This pain is drivin’ me crazy It’s a serious fate, when your love turns to hate And you live with a soul, that’s bitter and twisted Chorus Believe me, I just can’t live without you Believe me, I just can’t go on In the blink of an eye, you spin and you lie No remorse, no guilt, no sorrow Now that you’ve gone, and all’s said and done In my world there’s no tomorrow Taken apart, stabbed through the heart Left out in the cold So bitter and twisted Chorus Oh, believe me, I just can’t live without you Believe me, I just can’t go on

LADY DARKNESS In my dreams, you're here with me. Full of love, so sincere. Recorded smiles, made to last. Merge with laughter, from our past. These visions slowly fade to black. As darkness comes and claims you back. You are on the other side. From the day you run and hide. Chorus Round and round inside my head. Will this nightmare ever end. I wake to find you are gone. Taken by the evil one. Thinking of that fateful day. When darkness took my light away. How pale and weak, you'd become. Drained of life troubled by the sun. I watched you slowly fade and die. Whispered to your soul goodbye. You crossed the line from good to bad. Pain it almost drove me mad. Round and round inside my head. Will this nightmare ever end. Your vision haunts me once again. Hovering at my windowpane. Lady darkness beckons me. Eternal life you offer me. Flowing hair and distant eyes. To join you on the other side. At dusk, you visit me​. Breeze flowing in your hair. Your vision pale and free. It's such a haunting dream. And then the brand new day. The dawn sends you away. You are on the other side. From the day you run and hide. Immortalize, is your goal. Now you seek to steal my soul. Come and haunt me once again. Scratching at my window frame. With shadows visions, from the past. Memories of our love that last. Constantly you beckon me. Offering love and eternity. You are on the other side. From the day you run and hide.

SUMMER FEELING Why don't you take me too, so I can be with you Out of the city scream, that's what I call my dream Had enough of the high rise town Had enough of the things that bring me down Gonna' put my foot to the floor, steppin' out that city door Had enough of the push and shove, heading back to the place I love Lookin' back on the things I've done, now I've got to be movin' on So I can be at one with you So I can be at one with you Chorus. Watch the stars glow, feel the wind blow Summer feeling, soulful healin' Watch the dawn break, see the day wake Summer feeling, soulful healin' Just so happy to say goodbye, without a tear in my eye Good friends I have left behind, gonna' settle for peace of mind Had enough of the high rise town Had enough of the things that bring me down Gonna' put my foot to the floor, steppin' out that city door Had enough of the push and shove, heading back to the place I love Lookin' back on the things I've done, now I've got to be movin' on So I can be at one with you So I can be at one with you Chorus

Criminally unsigned, the quartet demonstrates a great potential, and the listener must be hooked on the band's mood immediately, Optimism should take this band far…….

Each of the ten songs is crafted well and delivered impeccably. The standard of song writing, musicianship, and production has resulted in a polished and professional-sounding debut collection.......
