This is where it all started, kind of. These songs are ancient dating back to 1996. In fact the second track Finest Hour was my first composition and because of that Houre suggested we could do something together. The initial get to know each other -phase was bit awkward as I was a high school grunge dude and Houre a heavy metal plumber. It took couple of beers and a few more in the Houre's garage but the result was a great one. A lifelong friendship, bunch of great songs and more to come.
In fall 2012 we found out the old lyric sheets and rehearsal tapes. We decided to re-record some of the old classics. The initial idea was to focus on acoustic and retro 70's sounds. As usual we couldn't get our hands of electric guitars. Especially the opener 5 Minutes of Fame (who needs 15) contains Houre's great guitar work which turned out the original for a different beast. Some of the arrangements are closer to their original roots though. Two years later we finally have a finished product of these sessions. The distance between us has secured that we don't have much time together, but when we do we make most out of it. These 6 tracks were produced with love and care combined with the experiment we've gained in last two decades. It's been a great journey so far.

"Amazing so...Let it flow"

1. FIVE MINUTES OF FAME
At last you achieved what you have always dreamed of It made you kind of sad As an ex-loner surrounded by the people It made you laugh which you couldn't stand Please don't fuckin' cry Every single soul wants to take your place And enjoy their five minutes of fame At last you decided to turn back time and change your life It made you kind of glad But every act you made increased the enormous shame which you felt from your fame Don't you fuckin' cry Every single soul wants to take your place And enjoy their five minutes of fame I know you're tired but it's your place to play to entertain And give your precious life away |
2. FINEST HOUR
The finest hour and I feel fine The finest hour I am ready to die The finest hour I'm happy at last The finest hour when don't ask Some day I'll be ready to reach The finest hour an unknown time Some day I'll be able to love The finest hour and I'll be gone Great moments of my life Great moments not many to hide Great moments will they last Great moments please don't ask Some day I'll be ready to reach The finest hour an unknown time Some day I'll be able to love The finest hour and I'll be gone |
3. ORDER
On the dark alley he is hiding behind the trash bin Spotlights don't reach him in the middle of rat shit She shares her food only when forced to She laughs 'cause she knows She is lost and not to be found He is Lost and not want to be found Watching from the outside She saw the rotten inside On the dark alley she was hiding behind the trash bin Spotlights did reach her in the middle of rat shit He shares his food 'cause he's forced to He cries 'cause he knows He was lost and found He is Lost and not want to be found Watching from the outside She saw the rotten inside |

4. WERE THERE FIRST
Have to find my Dionysos I don't need no Jesus I don't need your Virgin Mary Isis and Horus were there first Were there first Have to find my Dionysos I don't need no Jesus I don't need your Virgin Mary Isis and Horus were there first Were there first |
5. LET IT FLOW
Whatever it brought into my mind Whatever I tried to find out Secrets lurking behind the locked door It made me want to know some more Let it flow Things explode Amazing so Let it flow Throw it away Free association Throw it away Eternal damnation Whatever it brought into my mind Whatever I tried to find out Jesus lurking behind my home door It made me buy a safe lock |
6. WALTZ
There it arrives and I can't help it Moments of lust and joy Are all gone for a moment It's like a ten smiles against the grin Less is stronger all over and over again The reef of screwed up feelings Beats the hell out of the island of good vibes All nice familiar faces Turn out to be highly irritating All nice plans flushed away And I couldn't care less It's like a ten smiles against the grin Less is stronger all over and over again The reef of screwed up feelings Beats the hell out of the island of good vibes |
