about

This track can be found on the 2019 album 'End Of The Strangers'. Back in 2018-19 I released each of the tracks on that album as singles on streaming services. I have now withdrawn these singles but I'm preserving them here, mainly for the artwork.

lyrics

A way through it
Feeling I remember
We say "its mine!"
When you get much wiser
You will understand
The race is not to win
There never was a sin
They've credit crunched your mind
And you will have to realise right now

Oh this world
There's nothing you can do
Find out what was there before you knew
Where that knowledge came from
What is there before you were you

Sun will shine
Even when you're sleeping
Promises
Leaders keep you dreaming
Of a better time
But nothing ever comes
The cycle starts again
And you will have to feel
The same things that you felt forever

Oh this world
There's nothing you can do
Find out what was there before you knew
Where that knowledge came from
What is there before you were you

Now the mysteries seem open
But you can't understand
It's not for you to worry
It was always in your hands

Oh this world
There's nothing you can do
Find out what was there before you knew
Where that knowledge came from
What is there before you were you
Oh this world
There's nothing you can do
Find out what was there before you knew
Where that knowledge came from
What is there before you were you
What is there before you were you
What is there before you were you

David William Edinburgh, UK

My path has been different from the start. I have spent most of my life as a musician making recordings from my home but now find myself playing live more frequently, especially online. I have no desire to get signed and follow the conventional music industry path but Music is what I do, almost 24/7 and I am forging my own path so all support of my work is much appreciated. ... more
