about

Back To:
Live tracks from Whangaehu Music Festival Feb 1997. We played two sets. An evening set at around midnight with a malfunctioning monitor system and an afternoon set the next day under the effects of severe sleep deprivation. It wasn't our best gig but it was filmed - on SVHS tape - with the audio taken directly from the camera’s built in microphones. In 2004 I took a copy of this audio to Neil Maddever who produced masters for a full length live CD. My plan was to release this as a companion CD to the Forms Of Escape album but subsequent events rendered this impossible. In '06 I found a better copy of the source audio. The four tracks included here are taken from this.

lyrics

Well sooner or later, gonna quit this mortal coil
Gonna step out of this tired body like I'm going for a Sunday stroll
No big deal it's easy. No big deal it's easy

'Til then gonna keep on dreaming
'Til then gonna keep believing in the things that make me breathe.

Well some men choose religion and still don't see the truth
And some men pay the dealer 'til they're no earthly use
These forms of escape come easy
So many forms of escape come easy

But I'm gonna keep on dreaming
And I'm gonna keep believing in the things that make me breathe,
The things that make me breathe. (x3)

My heart beats, my eyes see, blood in my veins, faster I breathe
Hear me shout, hear me scream, hear me breathe - Breathe.


Well sooner or later, gonna quit this mortal coil
Gonna step out of this tired body like I'm going for a Sunday stroll
No big deal it's easy. No big deal it's easy

'Til then gonna keep on dreaming
'Til then gonna keep believing in the things that make me breathe.
The things that make me breathe. (x3)

Breathe….
