Another question from the boy
He is inquisitive yet knowing
And she shelters his tiny soul
She knows there’ll be a broken heart
And fear may break his longest stride
She’ll do her best to nurture anything called courage
She might try to hide him in the rushes
When her embrace doesn’t seem quite enough
We are restrained
Try to contain
Sheltered from pain
This mother’s domain
From where he came
It feels the shame
Keeping her sane
This mother’s domain
He’s kicking little pebbles along his Brighton Beach
Oblivious to sorrow and joyous to the now
The point of being present so natural and devout
Is a boy who knows no weapons
And she’s singing him to manhood
She’s is showing a type of man who’s naturally curious
Who can channel him to kind
She just knows it’s third time lucky bring a child it’s inner peace
This time it feels so natural with a boy who knows no weapons
This album was one of the finds of 2021 for me. Recorded, performed, mixed and mastered brilliantly and not a single weak track on it. Go give it a spin Joe Adhemar
This is the album I released under my Squirrel alter-ego. It is funky, trancy, rocky and weird. Beck, Chemical Brothers, Oakenfold, BT and Prodigy fans will appreciate it. Joe Adhemar
