Be That Man 02:22
The party's due to start Gather up your mind All human beings there I hope they all got out Uncovered insecurities Raising all your doubts What's left to eat at you Has nowhere left to hide In the fire of meditation I will be that man All attempts at trying to bind me Spiral to their doom She is my loyal one My help my love my guide Good people stand up tall Remember your delight In the fire of meditation I will be that man All attempts at trying to bind me Spiral to their doom No-one can understand Somehow we're different I'm a natural man In the fire of meditation I will be that man Natural eyes I have see everything Open up and find In a newfound constellation I will be that man And we'll realise the same thing Love will blur the lines

I've seen your luck run out Far too many times I've been aware of things You hoped I'd never find Uncovered insecurities Paranoia's blind It seems to eat at you Disabling your mind In another situation I could be that man And we'll realise the same things Life can be unkind Where is the loyalty The help when you are down Some people get it all While others pay the price In another situation I could be that man And we'll realise the same things Life can be unkind I'll try to understand Sometimes we're not so different afterall In another situation I could be that man And we'll realise the same things Life can be unkind In a different constellation I could be that man And I'm going through the same things Love will blur the lines

about

"Be That Man" goes back to 2003 when it was written. The original demo I made around the same time as "Colours" was recorded with bongos through the soundcard on my brother's PC. Soon afterwards I recorded a straightforward acoustic and vocal only demo on my portastudio. I attempted a band version in 2006 before coming back to the song ten years later and eventually recording a new version.
