Ka-leid-o-scope (Professor Hawking) Imaginary time People think it's something you have in dreams Or when you're up against a deadline But it's a well-defined concept Imaginary time is like another direction in space Another direction in space (Finn) Planetary colours: red, white and purple Planetary colours: the final lightshow Planetary colours: blue, orange and yellow Planetary colours erupt Ka-leid-o-scope Planetary colours: red, white and purple Planetary colours: the final lightshow We live in a time filled with joys and wonders So much on the Earth for humans to discover But we aim our sights high into the cosmos Sets us to wondering of how this will be over (Professor Hawking) Imaginary time (Finn) It's all we have 'cause we don't know when life will end Is there a limit? (Professor Hawking) Imaginary time (Finn) I wonder if we'll feel it when it comes If the planets explode I'd like to see it in colour, colour Oh lord, yeah, yeah Planetary colours: blue, orange and yellow Planetary colours erupt

I need a kick, a beat, to move to I need a kick, do you see, to shake up my bones I need a kick, now you see, it moves me I need a kick, in the teeth, and don't hold back

Mad, mad, mad Childhood, you build a dream how you want to live your life, good Your teacher asks you what you want to be A hero, a firefighter or an astronaut But this one, he gotta breathe song And somewhere in my mind There's a little boy blue who's chasing the moon And he wants to get outside But he's being kept in by the way I live my life Lord, lord, lord He's getting mad, mad, mad He's made of ambition He wants it right now He feeds on successes But then he spits them out I try to do better But he's not satisfied The bar keeps on raising And I get left behind Love him, 'cause he'll raise you up to your highest heights Hate him, 'cause every time he's dissatisfied I want him to slow down, but he won't let me breathe If I crash down, (he what?) he drags me CHORUS Don't be fooled He's your tool And you drive him mad, mad, mad CHORUS Yeah, yeah, yeah Woo!

Airborne 03:39
It was early when you came and found me I was sitting on the cold beach sand You said you needed my help You were trying to get through to someone That you didn't understand But I knew him well I know me well, I said Hey now, hey now, come on, come on You don't want to love this guy Hey now, hey now, come on, come on He's just in his own world 'Cause when the music speaks I turn you off to listen You're not as important as melodies and rhythms I'm airborne, I know it, know it, airborne I'm airborne, I feel it, feel it, airborne 'Cause when the music speaks I turn you off to listen You're not as important as melodies and rhythms I'm airborne, I know it, know it, airborne And now my mind's made up I know you feel let down And you can curse me now But hear me out 'Cause in the long run You deserve someone Who's not gonna treat you wrong 'Cause when the music speaks I turn you off to listen You're not as important as melodies and rhythms I'm airborne, I know it, know it, airborne I'm airborne, I feel it, feel it, airborne 'Cause when the music speaks I turn you off to listen You're not as important as melodies and rhythms I'm airborne, I know it, know it, airborne

Hero 03:34
We had dinner tonight Just you and me We talked about our lives Just yours and mine And it's been a while since it was just us two You know I've spent all my life Looking up to you And you laid your heart out And I saw you as human Instead of the hero That I've always believed in We had dinner tonight Just me and you We talked about our lives Just what we're going through You've got a confused heart And I've got one too But between us, Dad Nothing can come through And you laid your heart out And I saw you as human As well as the hero That I've always believed in When I'm scared, I know that I can run And you'll catch me, you'll catch your second son (x∞)

I need to get away 'Cause my life is dragging me down I need a great escape To take a breath and figure out What it is that I need to change 'Cause I'm afraid I'm giving my all What do I rearrange? I need you to show me a way All I've got left's my face It wears a smile to cover the grey When did the colours fade? I am alone and I am afraid Of what it is that I need to change 'Cause I'm afraid I'm losing it all What do I rearrange? I need you to show me a way Show me the road to happiness 'Cause I need help getting me there Yeah I admit my weakness I am alone and I need something here I don't have faith to call on I don't have love to lean on But I need something to get me there I'm on the road to happiness I need to get away 'Cause my life is dragging me down Show me the road to happiness 'Cause I need help getting me there Yeah I admit my weakness I am alone and I need something here I don't have faith to call on I don't have love to lean on But I need something to get me there I'm on the road to happiness

Inside my chest There is a room A holy place Where I am home And through the door, The world outside Comes rushing in And I can't hide The sun is dawning The angels calling My time is running out My Mom is screaming She can't stop the bleeding My time is run out And from outside The sound of hooves My angel's come To set me loose On wings I'll rise To see the view Heaven provides For losers stuck in their room Inside my chest There is a wound Someone I loved Is gone too soon So drink the wine One final prayer Then you'll go home While I'm stuck here

Yeah! I hear the shotgun And out of the gates I run I'm not the type to stand and wait Hoping to get a break I am a tiger Prowling on the Earth alone I'm on the hunt for the future I want I'm gonna take it, gonna take it So when the light comes in I'm ready to go And I have never felt more in control My dreams are alive What a beautiful life And when the night goes down there's music around And colours are bursting in into sound My dreams are alive What a beautiful life 'Cause when I get knocked down I can make things better I've got the power now I choose to make things better I can make things better Come sit next to me Move a little closer Let me show you in to my life I moved somewhere new And written on the wall there "Happiness is here" Now and forevermore Now and forevermore Calmer now and I'm stable, but the joy is still alive (x4) And of course I've got doubts But the joy is still alive I can drown them all out If the joy is still alive Still alive, still alive I'm still alive I'm not the same as I was I hide away but the problem's not outside me I can still hear those words I used to sing so proudly But my conviction's blurred They don't have the same effect But they're all that I have left My dreams are alive What a beautiful life My dreams are alive What a beautiful life My dreams are alive What a beautiful life My dreams are alive This has to be beautiful My dreams are alive What a beautiful life My dreams are alive What a beautiful life My dreams are alive What a beautiful life My dreams are alive This has to be beautiful, beautiful This has to be beautiful (∞)

about

Album Fünf has shown a real development in my abilities compared to past albums. Since finishing the Album Four EP, I've been making a real effort to step up my production game. I did an online course in audio mastering as well as some research on my own, and I'm very happy with the results I'm now able to get. These tracks aren't top of the pops production-level, but I'm on my way there!

In terms of content, I've gotten more raw and emotional. I rarely used to write about my feelings, my thoughts, my dreams, my desires, but on this album things have gotten very personal. Tracks like Airborne, Road To Happiness, Mad, Mad, Mad and What A Beautiful Life | Happiness is Here | Worth all have meaning to me on a lyrical level as well as musical. Writing personal lyrics is exposing and embarrassing, but I think it's resulted in some powerful music. There's not a single track on here I don't really enjoy.

As always, I hope you find some enjoyment and meaning in these pieces of music.
