"Abram either wake up or go to bed.
You´re sleepwalking with a delirious head.
You were programmed a long, long, long time ago.
Your stories are old, old and your acclimation is slow.
Go to sleep.

Not much of what you say makes any sense.
Cook up some myths, then ask for obedience.
Even though you mean well, well most of the time,
you've aided delusion and created bias in our mind.

Go to sleep."

Sweet sweet lyrics IMO.

but it's not one half as bad as a lot of ignorence".

Even better:

You're not using a designated driver
to show you around
The folders are a bit too ordered
The sailors seem a bit to bored
Mountain tops seem nice from a distance
Close: rough and not so smooth
So these streets have been walked upon for centuries
I'm sensing owls aren't you?
Aren't you?

He does make some really cool music though. I originally found out about him by listening to Zero7. Him, Mishka and Groundation are on my chill out playlist.

I found him through a Sony Bravia commercial.

The one with balls bounching down the street.

The song was "Heartbeats" - one of my wife's favorite alltime songs now.




& the making of it...

Yeah most of those sounds are made by his single guitar as well. A sound like that, and lyrics like that, together, are rare in my book.
There's a lot of really good music out there, but not nearly as much good lyrics.

The weirdest thing about Jose is that he's Swedish. What the hell kinda name is that for a Swede?
