No Name Town

Slowly I’m falling,
I feel myself scrolling,
Inside this lonely place,
No face, no name,
No feelings or pain
I feel like I’m going down,
One of the hopeless in a no name town…
Curtains, they make us blind,
All this years we were outside,
And still the unwanted ones,
Custom, fences, nuclear strength,
Billion dollars in defense,
Hey I’m naked son,
Without a dug-out and place to run
Take away, take away
All your credit cards,
I don`t want to carry on your frantic blame,
I`m not the same anymore
I will find the will and strength
To break the score
I`m not your shadow anymore!
Slowly I’m falling,
I feel myself scrolling,
Inside this lonely place,
No face, no name,
No feelings or pain
I feel like I’m going down,
One of the homeless in a no name town...

Shall We Run?

So you think that I will change my mind And believe that I will change my view. Silent stranger - what you’ve left behind? Why you`re so afraid to be true? Ch. Shall we run? Shall we run? From the truth of today Shall we hide? Shall we hide? Shall we find another way? Ch.2 You say - Morning will ease the pain But I don`t think so. Daylight will erase the blame But if it’s deep inside the soul? Money will change the world But only for a while Ice of hate will melt But only from your smile... You think that I am blind, You think that all the rules you know... I hear the voice of your desire - To fall on knees, but to reach the goal Ch. Our shadows chase along the walls While we`re having here some fun. Don`t you see that we may fall? In the circles we run. Our sons will sing the songs for us That we have never heard Our dreams will melt into the grass But we have never thought... Ch. +Ch.2 Ch. Shall we run? Shall we run? From the glory of today Shall we wait? Shall we wait? For that final crushing day! Ch. Run, Shall we run?

When thirty five, You`re still alive, When sixty four You’re on the floor, Needy old people, Sit alone in their flats, They were once proud parents, And they were someone`s friends, You failed to see them walking near, You never saw their smile, While you were busy, they’d disappear, Don`t care just buy another tie! The flowers lay upon the ground, Just You and me and a speechless crowd, No one knows just what to say - Only a child is crying loud! You can build another market, On the place of cemetery, They were dying for our freedom, Deaf and blind - you won`t to see Wealth alone can`t last forever, Devil never sleeps alone, What will you do? When it`s your turn, And the moment`s long gone...

The Great Me
05:53
|

|
You know, I have to be strong And I have to be mad. Because they say I will change the world And there’s no place for regrets And no one will see me cry Oh, am I alive?! The show will never end The light will never show the truth. And no one will dare to see What lays beyond the Great Me... The Great Fear! The Great Lies! Years are passing by, The songs remain the same. The words are flying by It’s the part of the game that I choose That I play Where I stay It’s about the Great Fear It’s about the Great Lies It’s about the Great... Here standing all alone Fake crown within my hands Black lights beyond the scene The crowd in my head The taste will never satisfy And the work is never ever done. A clown lays down to sleep Big cash is burning my throne. And when the fire catches my lips I drink the poison in love VIPs. And no one really dares to see What lays beyond the Great Me...
”...Stand up and play!... Don`t be mad! Don`t be stupid!.... Where is my “Porsche”?......” Years are passing by, The songs remain the same. The words are flying by It’s the part of the game that I choose That I play Where I stay Here standing all alone With crown in my hands Black light beyond the scene And crowd in my head It’s about the Great Fear It’s about the Great Lies It’s about the Great... .... Me

Berlin & Leningrad

The clock is ticking, A rhythm echoes in my head, Something is missing, Something better left unsaid, Oh, the night will split this mortal coil The tide is turning, A soldier finally reached his home, His past is burning, His future - whisky and Long Tom, And old mother slowly touches his hair, Why life can be so unfair?! And no one, will understand how it feels When your life is in the dirt Banged up, smashed up! And no one, will understand how it feels And how it hurts, Bashed up, beaten up! How young I was - I tried to kiss the God, Now my friend is dead - So many fallen angels, so much blood, Millions died because of One, The God has blessed the barrel of the Gun And no one, will understand how it feels When your life is in the dirt Banged up, smashed up! And no one, will understand how it feels And how it hurts, Bashed up, beaten up! New York, Berlin and Leningrad, Are standing on the bones, Your bones - White stones! Strangers, friends and enemies Are all just ashes in the wind. West wind, East wind
West and the East, North and the South - Are just the parts of one cross, This cross is hanging in every house. Father ripped as he saws, Mother greets child alive, And brother wrote perfect song, And sister was never killed by a knife, And the flood is gone... And the sun dried all tears, And healthy child was born In the world free of fears! And your friend is alive, No more blood on the flag, You`re not afraid to speak loud, You`re not afraid to be heard!
No one will explain to you What are You doing here, No one will dare to blame you, The ways are so unclear, And no one will feel the way you do, When you`re on the edge! And no one we`ll dare to see the truth Life is like a sledge! Life is like a sledge!! And after all - We are doomed to fall! And there`s no safe way, Only yesterday, only yesterday!! I`m lost in yesterday, You’ve lost in yesterday! We`re lost... The God has blessed... ...the barrel of the Gun! The clock is ticking, The rhythm echoes in my head, Something is missing, Something better left unsaid, Holly night will split this mortal coil... The tide is turning, The soldier finally reached... ....His home...

Isolation (part 1)
01:18

She was searching fortune outside the homeland, She was blinded by the goal, She was a teenager with a pretty face, For the wealth she sold her soul. But splendor lost its light, And day turned to night, She is far - far away now Far - far away now....

Yeh, there is a crisis But only in my head, But what is for sure I`m not a fool anymore... Changes comes, Knocking on my door, Helpless - not broken I`m not a fool anymore... They are changing faces, They have golden store, They have sex in hotels, Would You please just buff a floor! Proper telephone numbers, Passion for the BMW Tricks, tobacco and white powder - Seduction is guaranteed!! Nothing matters, just hit the ball, Yellow, red - I don`t care at all, Just start your engine, Oh, here`s the BOSS From glossy magazine! You say you built the future, "New generation" shit you wear Trade another soul Beat swords into ploughshares! Yeh, there`s a crisis But only in your head, You want to fuck the world, Dead man walking! You’re dead! I can feel what is hidden, Under your wrap, You can call it "freedom", You can call it "generation gap" But I`m not a bellboy, Or someone you`ll destroy, Helpless - not broken I’m not a fool anymore...

She is sitting here on the sea-line Child lay sleeping on her knees, Night light shines and ocean breeze, Brings sweet memories of her home But there`s no way back, No way back, She is far - far away now, Far - far away now She is praying for her little boy, Like an abyss he has eyes, And she kissed her son - God gave new life, Oh please help him to survive, Please help him to survive...

My throat`s so dry, With a longing look, Swallow up the sky I feel like fish on the hook. Who’s out of skin I feel like inside out. I’m a wireless beam, Drowned deep inside the heart... Ch. Please talk to me, And break this silence, I’m not so strong, Please be the first, And say just a word to me... I`m king that’s lost his throne, Without your love, I lose control, I lose it all... Please say just a word to me. Far in the distance, Way out of sight, No more resistance, I need the light!!! Ch. And he said - I have big house, What is outside - is not mine, I live for cash to feel secure, And people think - "oh he’s so pure!" He’s built a castle in the air, And drinks some wine on the middle of the square, And beggar asks him for a tip, His empty voice belches up a lip...
Isolation is everywhere, Even here on crowded square, Isolate your mind and ride, But crafty thoughts you cannot hide! He smiles to me; he gives a wink to You, He lies to neighbor but the sky still blue, He walks away consumed with greed. Hey girl, you’re still a child, But you should know the man is wild, Don’t lose your faith - You are the seed! Don’t be afraid of the heat, Don’t isolate yourself from sun... (Say just word to me...) Don’t isolate yourself from Love Don’t Isolate yourself from me (Say just word...) Don’t lock up yourself your spirit is free, You’re not a hostage of disease! Let’s see the world in a different light, You and me, So hold on tight!

The Second Brightest Star
by Big Big Train
supported by 26 fans who also own “Isolation”
In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore.

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential.

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range.
