And am I born to die To lay this body down And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown Into a world unknown A land of deepest shade Unpierced by human thought The dreary region of the dead Where all things are forgot Where all things are forgot Soon from from Earth I go What will become of me Eternal happiness or woe Must then my fortune be Must then my fortune be Waked by trumpet's sound I from my grave shall rise And see the Judge with glory crowned And see the flaming sky And see the flaming sky And see the flaming sky And am I born to die To lay this body down And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown Into a world unknown

Wonky 03:07
Spoken No one else here...the birds.......you just missed the fucking birds actually....what? Sung Hey girl let me out in I'm in heaven when you're singing I can't trust you when you're bringing I'm in heaven when you're singing I can't harm you when you're ringing All the time, all the time, all the time, all the time I'm in heaven when you're singing, I'm in heaven when you're singing Spoken Me and my little dance moves, when the sun comes up my music, it's just me, me, myself and I. A helicopter whirring, closer and closer to the sun.......we are the sun

Blindspot 03:44
I say it's Friday...no problem we say, don't need him....as often, fall down, don't get you as often, and E say, make me say, no problem. Can't be higher, took me higher, take me higher, there's no bigger life than this that life, I'm wondering if I don't come.....back with her, will you air? What happened to the character you created? I'm wondering if you ask me, what will I say? I'm wondering if you ask me, what will I say? I'm wondering if you ask me, what will I say? What will I say if you ask me? What will I say?

Fallen Snow 03:07
Hold your head up high, don't fall in shadows of fallen snow, all the time I've tried to find out all that I should know. all that shines I've seen in your eyes, don't stay out to late, find yourself in swollen river....all is fallen snow. Rap Everybody likes to shout get it in and get it out everything is roundabout nothing in is nothing out flying high you're moving low sun is shining you're aglow everybody seems to think I am there what else to bring cos say el fa a want it I say it I want it I say it I want it I say it I want it

Dark was the day and dark was the night, nothing was brighter than the brightest bit of bright. I see the horizon, I hear a string band, the earth spins around itself though nothing much is planned. Love can take you pretty fast, you better take it slow, love is all around you and love is all you know. Shadows lark around your head so you are not alone, I see your world is fighting still, you never really phone. A fallen tree reveals it's roots, you buy a brand new car, you will never be someone, you'll always be a star. I'm the only one around, I always seem to find, the clouds the just seem to melt away when I open up my mind.

Musicians of Bremen London, UK

Formed in 2013 in London, via campfire sessions amongst friends. A love of folk and outsider music prompted a flurry of songs both covered and self penned. Both members are self taught and their latest releases have seen them move beyond their initial influences to take in experimental electronica, ambient slide, lo-fi prescience and beats. ... more
