lyrics

Life is What you Make It (Crawford and Ives)

Remembering dreams lost so long ago
Like glimpses of light through a shattered lens
A mosaic of thoughts all jumbled and torn
Weaving its way through a road full of bends

Things never turn out the way that you want
The high jumps and falls of life’s twists and turns
Breaking the feeling of meaning and life
Like running through fire and feeling the burns

Life ain’t easy - it’s tough to stay afloat
Keep your head up and search for the boat

Life is what you make of it
Struggle or rise above
Life is what you make of it
Choose to live and choose to take the glove

Now dreaming is great but real life is better
The highs and the lows are part of my growing
To rise above is part of my living
So I'll get back out there and restart my searching

And living true to your dreams is closer than you think
When all you need is to find yourself, find your missing link

Life is what I make of it
I struggle but I rise above
Life is what I make of it
I'll choose to live. I'll choose to take the glove

Just saw them at RippleFest in Austin. Great live band! Really like this Demo album- sounds great on vinyl. Slightly different sound to the vocals, which I liked quite a bit. Music fantastic. jamjamkiley

God these guy's rock. Had the other two albums, came to this late, but wow, such an album. Love the raw "live" sound, each song is heavy and groovy with the right amount of soul in it. Need to see these live. thehairybadger26

Nick Leng - Drivers (EP)
by Nick Leng

The deep, dreamy music from this L.A. artist puts the emphasis on his soft, soulful vocals, resulting in low-lit love songs for late nights. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2016

Elegy

The two epic tracks on the latest from BC group Lakeman are mind-melters, opening slow and pensive before erupting into near-doom metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2022
