Castaways Without a Storm 03:29
lyrics
I hear a waveless sound shaking the walls The neighbourhood starts resounding with your song What does it mean? I feel our stars are drawn together I hear you pray for the weather to bring gales I know your needs are wearing human leather but still my mind wants to get the song you wrote Castaways without a storm Your steps are beating time on diamond ceilings Sight breaks the wall trying to see the face you own Up against the wall face the grudge you hold for all Psy breaks the wall! Sight breaks the wall trying to tear the face you own Psy breaks the wall trying to tame the pain you hold swing out of control I know we’re going to drown together I hear you pray for the weather to bring gales I know your needs are wearing human leather but still my mind wants to get this song you wrote Castaways without a storm

Gravity 03:19
lyrics
Gravity, dance with me take the weight off my feet Stormy clouds down below right above the dancefloor Gravity, drop my beat throw me down a hundred feet Something tore through my core gave my bones the weight of stone There’s a storm in my hand Death and growth carved in foam With nothing more than my words I catch my tears, eat them raw Stop, repeat, raise the beat bring me back to my feet I know you’re just a Physics law and so I’ll ask for nothing more All in all I’m the one on the edge of a gun If the flesh weighs a ton I’ll just leave it behind There’s a storm in my hand Death and growth carved in foam With nothing more than my words I catch my tears, eat them raw

Once Again 03:54
lyrics
I fell, tired, all of the sudden waiting for the spring Wake me up from the dust, I’ll try to forget my dream Let me feast my eyes upon the strangest ways you bloom from the mud of my fields Who said it ain’t fun to sit here and see? All I got to ease my mind is to weave my lies for free I’ll wait through the fall, whatever will be I’ll dive into dusk again, I will give my life for free Your beauty is a stab thrown in plain symmetry Cut into, then blow my mind [please, blow my mind away] with all the ways i’ve been kind [afterthoughts behind] and take my heart in vain Keep me awake to wish you a good night then sleep to rewind again Who said it ain’t fun to sit here and see? All I got to ease my mind is to weave my lies for free I’ll wait through the fall, whatever will be I’ll dive into dusk again, I will give my life for free Who said it ain’t fun to sit here and see? I’ll dive into dusk again, I will give my life for free Yet I’m here once again...

Still Life 04:20
lyrics
Although under the creek a taste of water is all that you need you wish for your home to grow where you fall draw a smile on water, a crease in the sea All you wish for is to soar, to wink at the sun tame the weather on wuthering moors Still life of tangerine skies low tones with rhythm and soul We’ll sing the tunes that we know from where the rivers are gold You know that tangerine ghost it floats wherever we go We’ll sing the tunes that we know Young thoughts, feverish dreams muddy waters, the trail that you leave We’ll meet far from home and grow where we fall draw our smile from water, drink from the sea Still life of tangerine skies low tones with rhythm and soul We’ll sing the tunes that we know from where the rivers are gold You know that tangerine ghost it floats wherever we go We’ll sing the tunes that we know from where the rivers are gold I’ll see you there my wayward friend with both our heads out of the sand And when the waves begin to dance we’ll talk of waterfalls and jazz

A Maze 04:02
lyrics
Life is grooving by your side show that you’re the one in charge There is something on your face something growing like a desert rose Crave the sugar in your veins death is grieving by your side Oh God! you’re walking backwards Take the Take the medicine Take it all! Take them Right on, right on take the medicine All we have to do is hide ‘till the others say it’s fine We’re still roaming through the maze ‘cause we’re aiming where nobody does Wearing our unique desire we wear it like a tree on fire So far we’ve been speaking backwards Take the Take the medicine Take it all! Take them
6.
Foreign Dance 04:08
lyrics
Hope for the best for the lover’s graceful end Dance on the ground like the trees that proudly bend to taste the sun Far, far from now lies a wound in some old town There, there you see stranger things, they read my mind Reverse the tape delete my rhymes to break the line deny my sight through whispers Laugh in the storm, louder the heat will relieve your heart Sail to the moon, the fool’s land Lift your arms, come on with children’s hands a foreign dance to come undone to greet the sun Sweet sour noise Getting lost in other’s lives World, where’s your heart made of tears and riddled minds? Reverse the tape delete my rhymes through whispers Do you recall when we were tuned? You read my mind through whispers
7.
To Waste Some Time 04:25
lyrics
Hold my heart ‘till the end of time while the dawn is taking time to rise Hypnotize, even space and time blending clay ‘till the morning lights Hold my eyes ‘till the end of time ‘cause my sight has never been so wide There’s someone feeding from the inside fill the jar with the rain outside I’ll break the law to get her I’ll trade my life to have her I spent a life to get there and waste some time together I’ll break the light Hold my arms for the end’s in sight and the dawn has been left behind Shape in the dark, all the rest on fire burning loud like a massive choir to get her I’ll trade my life to have her I spent a life to get there and waste some time together I’ll break the law to get her I’ll trade my life to love her I spent a life to get there and waste some time together

Ibiza '87 04:01
lyrics
All you should know is in my eyes There’s nothing more than what you see There’s nothing more All that you need is in my guise Leave at the door your hopes and faith and I'll let you in There’s a room in my head full of mist that never ends And I run in my place while the walls reflect my gaze All that I want... your dozing eyes and I’ll let you go There’s a room in my head full of mist that never ends And I run in my place while the walls reflect my gaze

“The concept and the artwork for this new album take inspiration from the first track of the album ‘Castaways Without a Storm’. The idea was already there in 2019, when nobody could have imagined the storm that manifested shortly thereafter, in the guise of a global pandemic with its disastrous consequences. Despite the generally comfortable life us ‘westerners’ were living, and mostly still are, we perceived a sense of disorientation and generalized apathy. A state of being commonly experienced by castaways, though in this case they are in this condition without ever being the victim of an actual storm. At this time we’re confident and hopeful that this massive earthquake shaking our existences will translate in a more lucid awareness and a spiritual elevation for us all.

Concerning the sound and the themes of the various tracks of the album ‘Castaways’: we moved very freely, painting in brushstrokes of various color and texture, almost in an impressionist way: especially the lyrics, but also in the writing and the ‘sound’. We translate our varied backgrounds, musical and generational, into an added value; this album, like the previous two, paints a broad palette of scenes and emotions.”
