Proved my self wrong on this one, so don't quite agree with the lyrics anymore :) but you can't argue a certain emotion in time, and how that emotion might still speak to others...

lyrics

LYRICS | SOME SORT OF FREEDOM

Perhaps it is possible
When you’re a kid or when you’re old
But somewhere in between
You’re too busy to enjoy
The little things, the simple things
The middle things, the big-ger T-H-I-N-G-S

Don’t want to be "it’s alright - pays the rent"
Don’t want to feel "not too bad, not too bad" - just averagely bad
Just want to believe that with a guitar
I can write songs and keep my youth on the boil
Well by doing this, That’s my only chance
For some sort of freedom – yeah freedom

Perhaps it is all OK
When you’re a kid or in your older days
But somewhere in between
Unless you’re lucky, it’s pressure all along
What little things, no simple things
Just middle things, all big-ger T-H-I-N-G-S

Don’t want to be "it’s alright - pays the rent"
Don’t want to feel "not too bad, not too bad" - just averagely bad
Just want to believe that with a guitar
I can write songs and keep my youth on the boil
Well by doing this, That’s my only chance
For some sort of freedom – yeah freedom

Now that I’ve got my own flat
It is indeed my very own spot
I can’t believe I’ve waited such a long time
But anyway, this is my house, this is my flat
And I can bang in as many nails as I want...

Don’t want to be "it’s alright - pays the rent"
Don’t want to feel "not too bad, not too bad" - just averagely bad
Just want to believe that with a guitar
I can write songs and keep my youth on the boil
Well by doing this, That’s my only chance
For some sort of freedom – yeah freedom
Well by doing this, That’s my only chance
For some sort of freedom – yeah freedom
Well freedom – yeah freedom etc….

ALiEN ALRiGHT Modi'In Makabim Re'Ut, Israel

Landing in the UK for an unexpected stay of 7 years, 'Alien Alright' is like an 'outsider's indie-rock diary' of music recorded during that time.

It's organized by order and consists of 14 albums - all 100% DIY, home-made.

Some of the albums are more properly produced, some are recorded with just vocals over an acoustic guitar, and 2 are improvised live.

You’re welcome to explore and enjoy :) ... more
