Name: The Trip
Duration: P00H04M06S
Description: This song emerged at a pivotal moment during the Summer of 2020. I was a ‘key worker’ throughout the first lockdown and my occasional journey along desolate roads to work seemed incredibly surreal to me at the time. I felt the ‘career’ version of myself slowly detaching from the ‘artist’ version. And I was enjoying this division of my sense of self.

lyrics

It’s 4:18 in the morning and the first smile has arrived 
As I light my first cigarette - The only one I need 
The coffee is Italian and it’s bitter as betrayal
 And the froth’s as white as seagulls that are standing in the hail
I’m going on a journey - I’m free within my car
 I’m playing Death Cab For Cutie and I’m travelling so far
And the tempo makes me faster in the slow lane of my life
And the sun still makes me dizzy as I drive away from me

Blindfold the sun and our laughter’s on the run 
From emotion hidden well from those who fear to think themselves
Mindful the one who gives without asking for the truth we belong to
We are coloured through our spirit selves

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
