This is the calm before the storm
This is the sea between the isles
And this ain’t the time to chase the dawn
This is the time to count the miles
So hold your fire and clear your mind
You won’t get left behind
I was a shadow on the screen
I was a drifter on the prowl
Now I’m the lights between the scenes
Now I’m the wolf that’s yet to howl
Yet to break out, yet to run
Yet to be outdone
I was a shadow on the screen
I was a drifter on the prowl
Now I’m the lights behind the scenes
Now I’m the wolf that’s yet to howl

Bloom

Well I hit the road before daylight
And I caught the old and naked night
With the moon in bloom and every star in sight
And the music blurred to washed out strums
As I dreamed about the things to come
With the sky ablaze and shadows on the run
And I never would have thought I would end up here
I thought that there was nothing left to see
And I never would have thought it would take so long
Just to learn how to be free
Well the winter sun it came up slow
And the light was pale and settled low
As the mist grew on the restless car and road
And I never would have thought I would end up here
I thought that there was nothing left for me
And I never would have thought it would take so long
Just to learn how to be free
Well I used to think that we were doomed
All the good had came and left too soon
But now I see, in fact, we've just begun to bloom

Oklahoma

There’s always been this restless hum
Whispering through the night
Like a train still miles away
Promising a ride
Oklahoma, take me in
Summer never stays for long
But it echoes through the year
As the nights are cutting in
As the mornings blur
Oklahoma, take me in
All this fire in my belly going to waste
All these cold machines that take away the taste
All these middle men that keep us in the dark
All these clean hands and useless sparks
There’s a fractured memory
Somewhere in my skull
It never quite reveals itself
Though I pull and pull
Oklahoma, take me in

Vondelpark

Autumn, wandering through Vondelpark
Taking in the sights before it’s dark
You in your red coat, dreaming like a child
Watching the families slowly cycle by
I know there’s so much left to do
I want to do it all with you
Lately I’ve been doubting every move
Thinking that I had something to prove
But now as I stand with England out of sight
All of my selfish dreams appear less bright
I know there’s so much left to do
I want to do it all with you
So much to find
So much to see
Five years from now
Where will we be?

One In A Thousand
by Obey Robots
supported by 4 fans who also own “Vondelpark EP”
Before every vacation, I face the challenge of finding fresh music that is dynamic but not too hard, and that is so emotional and catchy that it doesn't get on my nerves after just two days of touring. During that search I discovered OBEY ROBOTS and it took me only a few moments to put "One in a thousand" on the playlist. The album rocks, combines strong "Therapy?"-like guitars with Laura's soulful, distinctive vocals to quite a few hits, just check "One of these days" or "Next Summer"!
