euphoria 06:26
As long as you own it And it doesn't own you Strung out on a Substance for two I’m the biggest fear In the back of your mind Dirty little secret You don’t realize So you think you're special And invincible Swearin’ your use Only medicinal It’s good to finally meet you I’ve been waiting for your call I only want a little But I’ll take it all What’s your method? The credit card crush? Does it pair nicely ‘Cause you're such a lush The length you go to for Euphoric Rush I’m looking for bliss In a sorrow situation Took the remedy In anticipation You’re in over your head Now whatcha gonna do You let the sedative Get a hold of you Its a shame The antidote didn't work Blame it on yourself Not the “pharmacy clerk” Dirty little secret Antidote dont work Yeah you took the remedy Antidote don’t work It didn't do it for ya Credit card crush Bag it up now A substance for two I’m onto you yeah…

I feel like moving on, I guess I stayed right here too long. I never meant for things to be this way, I’m just treading water… Creatures in the cornflower blue, Wires divide the view. A home star sets sky a fire, I’m looking to you. Forever, the one, Forever, the one behind, Forever, the one Chasing the dark. Searching the underground, No crystal clear for me, Just the velvet green of my dreams, How will you end the show? The magnetic fields will pull, They wanna keep me here for good. If I could find the will to break away, I could learn to swim with the tide. Forever, the one, Forever, the one behind, Forever, the one Chasing the dark. Travelling along, At the speed of my horseshoe mind. Will I find the end of the start, The start… Forever, the one, Forever, the one behind, Forever, the one Chasing the dark. Forever, the one, Forever, the one behind, Forever, the one Chasing the dark. Chasing the dark.

skeletons 03:52
If I’ve done wrong I’ll ask for forgiveness Exactly who I am? That’s only my business More than meets the eye Below the surface We’re all striving For some sort of purpose I’m all yours If you're all mine Flood gates are open Tell me is it divine? I got passion And yeah I’m confident I can live two months On a single compliment I am not, invincible by any means I am, human, the creator of all machines I live, my life, I make mistakes along the way I don’t, give up, not a sinner not a saint A bag of bones I got some skeletons The past is the past It’s somewhat irrelevant I’m flesh and blood With imagination A dainty dame Who never acts out of desperation I am not, invincible by any means I am, human, the creator of all machines I live, my life, I make mistakes along the way I don’t, give up, not a sinner not a saint

daddyo 03:08
Sometimes, When I look up at the moon. I like to imagine that, Somewhere you’re looking up too. Remember when, I was just a little girl? We promised we would we would always keep - each other safe from harm. Why did you have to go? I miss you so, My Daddy’o. Sometimes, It feels like you’re right by my side, But when I’m feeling lonely and blue, Heaven knows the oceans I’ve cried. Why did you have to go? I miss you so, My, oh my sweet Daddy’o.

As if I’m not what you wanted As if I’m not what you need Gettin’ hot and heavy on the highway But I’m about to lower your speed As if things have been forgotten As if I ever forgave Regret isn’t that uncommon I’ma take this one to my grave What if I said you were everything I needed Lived with the fact that you have been defeated There’s too much That’s too late You’re overrated If only you hadn't listened If only you had caved My heart wouldn't be imprisoned I wouldn’t feel so depraved Too bad you were so suspicious I was all sorts of misled You drove me to be vicious Full speed ahead What if I said you were everything I needed Lived with the fact that you have been defeated There’s too much That’s too late You’re overrated Too bad, so sad If only you’d been a - better man As if, you wish I’ll just sit back and watch you reminisce Don’t got time for hocus pocus There’s no magic to be cast I ain’t your magician ‘Cause ain’t got it half as bad What if I said you were everything I needed Lived with the fact that you have been defeated There’s too much That’s too late You’re overrated

If you’d finish what you started Tread waters uncharted There’d be no telling of what you could do If you’d reach full potential Not be so cynical Wouldn't be the failure you're used to If your heart is always in it And you keep your commitment This would be a walk in the park You shouldn't be so lazy But your room stays hazy You’re a flint without a spark A sun that doesn't shine A moon that doesn't rise A flame that doesn't light up the dark A bell that doesn't ring A song no one can sing Bout time you make your mark Your dream ain’t being lived And it’s getting hard to give When you see no reciprocity With unfulfilled potential You’re bruising your credential Enough of your hypocrisy A sun that doesn't shine A moon that doesn't rise A flame that doesn't light up the dark A bell that doesn't ring A song no one can sing Bout time you make your mark Are you afraid - of success? Enslaved - by your stress Were you forced on your way A direction that caused your dismay A sun that doesn't shine A moon that doesn't rise A flame that doesn't light up the dark A bell that doesn't ring A song no one can sing Bout time you make your mark You expect too much But who am I to judge At least I’m the one who's striving If you weren't so lazy And covered up those ladies You could be one beside me thriving A sun that doesn't shine A moon that doesn't rise A bell that doesn't ring A song no one can sing A sun that doesn't shine - its about time - that you make your mark

I'm on a quest for a light A spark if you will No need for alcohol No Drugs no pills A quest for something different A quest for a change And when I conquer My name will reign The world is the world You are who you are You only have so long To wish on a shooting star. A search for the truth And honorable mention So long they look past My imperfect reflection Why I think it's so simple Ill never understand You could be a twinkle In my master plan The world is the world You are who you are You only have so long To wish on a shooting star. As jagged hearts may stab and stab You always be there to bring the good out in the bad If only I could grasp it now here today I think of all the wonderful things I could say With wisdom of life And action of grace With strong awareness My hearts in its place Secure and smiling I hold onto my present For today is the day I vocalize my sentiment The world is the world You are who you are You only have so long To wish on a shooting star. The world is the world You are who you are

risk love 04:09
You don’t need no safety net Settling always somehow Turns into a regret You don’t have to bet it all Give a gamble even if it won’t Leave you standing tall Sift all the possibilities The leap of faith just might make you Fall down to your knees It doesn't have to turn out well At the very least You'll have a story to tell What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Play your part, get lost, go out and wander Stars can’t shine without the dark Risk Life, Risk Livin’ Risk Love A goal that’s out of reach Seems odd since that ones In sight for me This globes your oyster pearl It takes all sorts of people To make a perfect world With optimistic attitude What you put in Can make aspiration come true Fortune favours the bold Your times worth more Than the highest - karat gold What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Play your part, get lost, go out and wander Stars can’t shine without the dark Risk Life, Risk Livin’ Risk Love You could be able You should have a light heart You could be noble A masterpiece of art You could be adored You left so much unexplored Take a chance for romance Always wanting more Stars can’t shine without the dark Risk life, Risk livin’ Risk love What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Play your part, get lost, go out and wander Stars cant shine without the dark Risk Life, Risk Livin’ Risk Love

redeemed 04:04
I only got so many things to give You took me as a whole You have given me love to live Yeah - you have bound my soul Suffering from lust Only you can fulfill You taught me how to trust Even against my will My every thought Every hope and every dream Sin has forgot I am redeemed I am redeemed You provide hope in times of trial There is no life without you Although it took a while I knew you’d pull through I’ve loved before But it was never like this You were too hard to ignore I was longing for your kiss My every thought Every hope and every dream Sin has forgot I am redeemed My deliverance from sin My salvation Reaching to rid my shame Revoke an unlawful flame In full esteem I am redeemed I am redeemed You only got so many things to give I praise you as a whole I’ll give you love to live I have bound your soul My every thought Every hope and every dream Sin has forgot I am redeemed My deliverance from sin My salvation Reaching to rid my shame Revoke an unlawful flame In Full esteem I am redeemed I am redeemed

Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind ‘Cause this little town won’t let me go. I long for the open road, And the land where the wild things can grow. Crazy I may be but all that I know, Is my little soul hungers for more. It burns deep inside when I think of goodbye, But my dreams call to me from distant shores. Tell my Mama and tell my Pa, Oh how I love them true. And when this restless heart is still, I will come home to you. Down by the old trees we shared our first kiss And talked about the life we would live. We were too young then to understand, The future is written on the wind. Now the sun’s setting fast on the fields where we played And the shadows have grown long and tall. Farewell to my little town, Oh how I’ll miss you all. Tell my Mama and tell my Pa, Oh how I love them true. And when this restless heart is still, I will come home to you.

This lake we’re swimming in is a forgery, This thing we call reality makes no sense to me. I try to integrate, keep spinning all the plates, But the equation just won’t take this damn duality. Between the upper atmosphere and soil, We live and laugh and weep and work and toil. Never making sense of what lies beyond the fence, It’ll all be revealed when we shed this mortal coil. So what does it matter? Why should we care? When we’re all here right now, Like fish swimming through the air. Flying out to Red, the long way. Do we always make it harder on ourselves? Flying out to Red, the long way round. Do we always make it harder on ourselves? Go find yourself a new machine, One to take you to the edge of what we know. Ride the slipstream through competitors and clouds, Until you find the fold, the way towards the light. This waking dream is more than fantasy, The fruits of our imagining will set us free. To know it shakes belief, replaces fear and grief, To find what lies beneath our frail humanity. So what does it matter? Why should we care? When we’re all here right now, Like fish swimming through the air. Flying out to Red, the long way. Do we always make it harder on ourselves? Flying out to Red, the long way round. Do we always make it harder on ourselves? Flying out to Red, the long way. Do we always make it harder on ourselves? Flying out to Red, the long way round. Do we always make it harder on ourselves

home 05:07
Like Krishna and Radha Misplaced in this Maya Would Shiva’s Vasuki guide one to the other? I searched every subtle place Asked what am I for? The questions rang out from my core. Through visions and dreams I could hear you were calling But daylight brought sorrow for that which was missing I knew not what I had lost How could I forget Your sweetness, your beauty, your power? But I..hi hi I..hi..hi Oh I..hi hi Lost my way Mmm… I lost my way… Tears took their toll on us Through years upon years We waded through time ‘til we grew What nature made separate We sought to undo Somewhere and somehow we both knew. I looked in other worlds While you looked inside Filling your books with prophetic words and line Chance is the certainty From which we are made The tenuous threads that connected our minds But I..hi hi I..hi..hi Oh I..hi hi Lost my way Mmm… I lost my way… The breadcrumbs laid out through this universe, Distinct from the stardust which binds us Were scattered like ships on the ocean But shining like beacons to guide us ‘til I hi…hi, I…hi…hi… Oh I…hi…hi Found my way, Ooh we found our way… Home… You are my twin flame You light up my fire I never thought love could beget such desire. On Friday thirteenth In November you came And I knew that I’d loved you before.

about

Harvey's new record featuring Canadian artist Laura Cole is here! An eclectic collection of great motown, jazz, soul, rnb, dub, alternative, rock and more (yes it does all work together!) mostly recorded live off the floor at Harvey's Broadoak Studios. Laura is a rising star in Canada, with her debut album 'Dirty Cheat' which was released in 2014 following a duet with legendary producer, Daniel Lanois on the song, 'Papineau'. This is where Harvey first heard her and instantly realised she had the perfect voice and talent for 'human', an album he's wanted to make for a long time but hadn't found the right collaborator. Laura has been compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse and Etta James. This record blends an eclectic range of styles from 50’s Jazz to Rock to Dub to Motown and beyond!

Already receiving great reviews and much media coverage including plays on BBC Radio 2 in the UK, this is an album essential for all lovers of real, quality, organic music!

Featuring a host of world-class musicians and full horn and string sections, this is the big one!
