chased by the street, try not to breathe while rushing by, try not to read the latest truth off a tv screen our planet seethes of selfish deed but no one seems really nervous i bite my tongue, try not to bleed i bite my teeth, try not to scream stop at a shop for smokes ‘n’ sweets for that‘s the shit i really need or i‘ll become really nervous another ruler broke the rules another killer in the news the rich may live their dreams of youth while countless chew on their last tooth life‘s passing by in the speed of dreams like it mimes the countless screens that seem to be followin’ me i got no choice not to join the stream and become one of the careless another ruler broke the rules another killer in the news our success tastes like failure and we don‘ learn to lose yeah another ruler broke the rules another killer in the news and all this repetition yeah all this repetition won’t make it true

Safe & Sound 06:57
i wear my face like a crown while i, while i feel it raining inside and sometimes, sometimes all the colors leave me blind and sometimes i wonder why wonder why it’s so hard to smile i wear my skin when i’m ’round town and grasp for breath like i could drown my mind at war, you see me frown but in the clouds i am safe and sound i wear my face like a crown while i, while i feel it raining inside and sometimes, sometimes sometimes i wonder why it’s so hard, so hard for me to smile i know there’s love though there’s no proof show me the difference between me and you and tell me is this real or just a dream? tell me is this real or is it just a dream?

about

"Honesty and integrity are at the heart of this record, which makes it is such a joy." (chybuccasounds.co.uk)

“If you are a lover of psychedelic blues, you should not miss this fantastic debut. They say that those who have magic do not need tricks, and without a doubt these two strangers have it.” (denpafuzz.com)

This is our first recording from back when SJ was just a duo. All songs were recorded and produced at home in Michi's living room (except for the drums) using only one microphone, so this may not be Abbey Road quality...

Samsara Joyride Vienna, Austria
