about

"Conveyer Belt" was immediately a different kind of song for me when it was first recorded as part of the Balcarres Street Demos in 2006. It had an ominous, slightly psychedelic feel to it that I knew could be further developed and refined.

This recording took place between 2018 and 2020.

lyrics

End of the empire makes things better
Wearing new clothes but watch the letters
Watch the letters

Out of the nightshift some would sweat it
Express yourself by all means let it
By all means let it

Be what you want but don't deny
The higher the tree the more to climb
There's more to climb

Morning to those aboard the train
Clean out the house and look to new places
Look to new planes

Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look to the gap between the words
It's there you change the things that you're dealt
On this conveyer belt

Trying to chain you to past lives
Bring it all forward into the Light
Into the Light

Deep underground you can't imagine
More than you're wildest dreams in action
So let it happen

Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look to the gap between the words
It's there you change the things that you're dealt
On this conveyer belt

Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look to the gap between the words
It's there you change the things that you're dealt
On this conveyer belt

Remind Me Tomorrow
by Sharon Van Etten

Well, I was introduced to the song Comeback Kid acoustically on a Tiny Desk concert and it really caught my attention. From there I went to the album version and also liked one or two others. David William
