Hey, go on safari with me Hey, go on safari with me I have seen the city smog When I leave my daytime job And I wonder how it is to live the dream Hey, go on safari with me Hey, go on safari with me I want to leave the city life Chase the feeling deep inside And I wonder how it is to live the dream Hey, go on safari with me Hey, go on safari with me I’ll pack my bags and leave today The guide inside will lead the way And I need to see how it is to live the dream

Leaving Town 02:55
I wanna leave town ‘Couse I’m done making rounds And I want to know what it’s like To live my life in the light ‘Couse I’m down I want to get lost and found Till I will come around And I’ll leave it all behind To live in the forest of my mind ‘Couse I’m down I’ve been down for so long And I need a place where I belong That’s why I’m leaving town ‘Couse I can’t stand hanging round ‘Couse I’m down I am leaving town (4x)

I don’t know what I will find It’s only the first couple of miles I’m about taking my time Or surely I’ll lose my mind Maybe I’ll see things alright Maybe I’ll meet a new tribe Maybe I’ll dance with them all night And maybe I’ll change my mind I’m just trying to stay alive I’m on the run but I don’t hide I Guess I’m all by my self I know I’m all by myself

All by myself and it feels so free No one to care for, it’s only me I can see places where no one has been I’m walking around and it feels like a dream I have left the city far behind You think I’m crazy, but I disagree Living like this is easy, I wish you could see I’m breathing in Live without care I’ve been away now for quite sometime Sometimes I think about, what used to be on my mind I’m free but there is no one by my side It’s just another state of mind It’s all yourself being kind It’s all you shouldn’t leave behind It’s all another state of mind It’s all another state of mind

The Sun 05:08
I see the sun rise and flowers look so bright Life seems so easy when living a daydream Is this all inside my head All the memories I’ve bled I see the sun A new day has begun And I wonder how it is to be back home I see the sun And my mind starts to turn Each day I’m running from escape I’ve been missing friends I’ve had Cheer my up when I was sad Mary Jane comes playing games Underneath trees on Raspberry Lane I see the dawn breaking So much more breath-taking Knowing you’re lonely when she’s not besides me Is this all inside my head All these choices I regret I find myself When I’m trying to tell The grass was greener in my cell I’ve been missing friends I’ve had Cheer my up when I was sad Mary Jane comes playing games Underneath trees on Raspberry Lane "Well there he was, wandering trough the mountains and fields filled with effloressing blossom. Slowely drifting away further and further from the place he once called home. He entered an adventure filled with diffeculties and prosperity, still in search of the things that will define him as a human being. Though he loses sight of what he ones had, he gains fortune in every step he takes. He knows the meaning of the word, but does he know the meaning of life? And so he went on with the trip that would influence and shape him like he had never experienced before."

I recall my troubled mind in a state of decline, that’s when I knew it’s time Unlike many of my kind I was nowhere to be Found myself walking away with a dream in mind like a cloud high of the ground I could hear the natures sound as I looked around This time I’m feeling fine I got out of my mind Seeing lights I’m leaving behind Crazy bended mind or sad of what you’ve left behind The love she gave but you’re no slave to the live you used to live when there’s so much more to Give your mind little time it will come around to where this odyssey is bound But for now you are in doubt you remain in doubt

The Escape 00:50

I’m walking through the flower fields Reminding me of what is real Byrds all sing my favourite song Takes me back to times when I was young A place where I belong And I’ve been there all along I tried to change my state of mind Learn to see when you are blind When I was young I didn’t care About the people being fair I Thought that I would find the man Inside of me and who I am But now I’ve seen to realize That I’ve got nothing left to hide ‘Cause I am young A place where I belong And I’ve been there all along I’m coming home I’m coming home I’m coming home I’ve learned so much about my way Decided where I want to stay I was there where nothing’s wrong Takes me back to where I belong The place where I come from And I’ve been there all along I’m coming home I’m coming home I’m coming home

about

Vinyl copies are sold out!

Safari is our second album, released 4-10-2019 on Bickerton Records.

This album is a concept album. It's a story about leaving the city to live in the nature. You are tired off all the chaos around you, so you decide to leave and go live with the animals and whatever you will find to survive.
It will bring a lot of prosperity but also difficulties. So, put on the album, close your eyes and travel along with us!
