It includes 12 songs, with a sound more rock than you've heard from KG
before. Songs about love, politics, famine and the view of the world from
three young men in Australia.

Tuesdays kicks off the album. It's a song that tries to capture that feeling of being lost in a repeating world. Based around a letter to a friend this song has a strong sense of longing.

Tuesdays

I feel extremely tired recently
I’ve become a workaholic
I don’t want to let them down
So whenever they need me
I go to work

Tuesdays I fall away

I’m so happy that soon I will have a chance to see you
Chat with you enjoy the sun the beauty and you
It’s snowing here in London town
Loving it but it makes me feel
Paralyzed and lost
It’s really nice through the window
But I’m cold

I still haven’t had my chance
I’m disturbed and faint
Only 12 days to go and I still believe
You men are really bad to me
I told you about my friend
You’ve turned it into something worse
I can no longer pretend
Maybe when we know each other better

Dark Soldiers is the story of a man during the 1930s forced famine in the Ukraine. You can read about it <click here>

Dark Soldiers

For 200 years they’ve been holding a rope over my hands
For 200 years they’ve been holding a gun over my head
For what
But cheap food that tastes so bad
And I walk through this new but still old land

I see dark soldiers I still see dark soldiers
When she cries in hunger and I want to kill that man
I know she’s my love and I’ll do anything I can

I don’t wish to leave but there’s screaming and I have strength
Explosions around me but there’s little I could do
But that was then before I knew I had a chance
So I must go and take a chance right here I know

Like a carnival in the sky now
Closer and closer still
I can’t bare to see you die before me
Closer and closer still

Heart Attack there are many meanings to this song, take from it what you will.

Heart Attack

Time has been passing too quickly
And I think I’m gonna fall
Night after night I’m feeling like a heart attack
I’m so far down my head in my hands
My tears upon your breast

You lead me
And take me through this life
You’re the only thing
To light my way tonight

Baby darling please
Take me home tonight

Always wanted to know
How I’d age and grow
Day after day of pulling my weight through
Same four walls as ten years ago
Please help me so

Spartacus Aram Khachaturian composition Spartak inspired this song and the question, of what can be done to help the world, and what if we could change the past. How can one man inspire so many to rise up against the wrongs in the world and make a difference. To read about the character Spartacus that also inspired the mood of the song <click here>

Spartacus

Where were you when I was so young and freightened
How can they leave this place in such a mess
I can’t believe they’re apart of this human race

So here we are standing quietly
As this world takes a breath
While there’s so much pain and suffering
I want to change the past
But I know I can’t

How could one man inspire so many to take this empire down
Not in flames and rioting
But somehow with his mind
Peaceful with his mind

Do Others (ii-reun sarang) When hearing about a mummified body in Korean, a love letter from a wife to her husband was found intaked. The contents of this letter were that of a deep love, and non-understanding of her husband's death.

Do Others (ii-reun sarang)

You always said we’d be together
To die on the same day
How could you go without me
Do others love like we love
Why did you do alone
Leaving me sleeping and cold
I still feel you lying there
Do others love like we love

How could you go alone
I can not live without you
I hope I can be with you
Please don’t let me go

We often spoke if one should die
How we could not stand the day
Why can I only cry
Do others love like we love
But now I sit alone at night
Thinking I hear you
Thinking I see you staring back at me
Do others love like we love

Clutching for Something June 30, 1908 in Russia a large meteor hit the Earth and cause a blast 1,000 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The explosion felled an estimated 80 million trees over 2,150 square kilometers (830 sq mi). It is estimated to have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. This song is written from the prospective of a woman fleeing the explosion.

Clutching for Something

Early morning in June
A cloudless day time sky
A sun-like fire ball takes over the world
And she is left wondering why
Is this the end of it all

Clutching for something to hold on to
Clutching for a truth to hold on to

A thunderous noise shakes her very bones
Makes her think of the time
her sister told her their dad was gone
now she takes a strangers hand it’s warm and it’s strong
oh the screams she looks away oh the pain

How It's a love song.

How

Oh the night is so cold
You freeze cause you’re just skin and bones
You dream of the things you’ll never have
Lost in a world not made for you
I have to act
Like a crazy man
The stars never bring you any joy

How could I keep showing you how
How much I loved you
And how much I care
I rattle and I hum

Why are we all so confused
I wanted to be able to help you
I’d stop all the crying you ever had
stand by your mothers side to protect you
now I have to rage
like a crazy man
with so many dying I could not believe

Crazy Men This crazy world we are in, with super power nations telling smaller countries how they should behave. With kids taking guns to school. With babies being saved with medicines and surgery before they are born.

Crazy Men

Moving forward if only a few days left
Two men standing and waiting
How can one have the power to kill
Then complain when the other wants the same
Meanwhile a younger version of them
Play swap cards in the park
Destined to be in their shoes
In no time at all

I’ve been delayed just for a while
These crazy men have held me down away from you

So stupid these boys are taking their guns to school
Not yet men but even if they were
They can’t help themselves out of this mess
Their fathers have dragged their bodies down
Meanwhile a baby is born too small
And saved when she should have died
Now she’ll grow up not fully formed
She’ll die
It’s just a matter of time

So I Will Go This is a story of a man's realisation that his lover has died and left him all alone. The moments before she passed away, and the delusion that somehow she is still with him.

So I WIll Go

The cars outside are sounding like a storm
She’s standing at the gate surprised to hear my voice
So I run down stairs
A smile in my hand
She’s knocking at the door
I can’t wait to see her face

Then I realize there’s no one there
Then I realize there’s no one who cares

So I will go down to the ground
And there I will stay with my head in my hands

I remember when we both stood quiet on the shore
Dreaming about love and what it is for
I could have had a house
Or a child in your arms
But before I had a chance there’s graves falling from the floor
So we danced till she fell asleep
And I dared to hold her body
As it went limp

So Afraid Angry angry angry at the world. Just imagine how life could be if all the money spent by countries on weapons was put to good use for food and helping others. Why after so many years of human evolution is this still just normal and excepted?

So Afraid

You’re so afraid
Everyday the glitter is lost on me
Everyday salvation is lost on me

Cause every rocket that’s been made
Every gun that has been fired
Is just like stealing from the mouths of babes

You’re so afraid
But just imagine how scared you’d be
If you had no family
If you had no where to sleep and you’re cold
If the food you ate could kill you
And the water you drank makes you ill

Cause every rocket that’s been made
Every gun that has been fired
Is just like stealing from the mouths of babes
If you put just half this money
Into food and not to arms
Can you imagine how strong we’d all be

Make a Change Restless, and wanting to be something, be someone, change what is happening in life. This song is also inspired by the current industrial laws that are in effecet in Australia. It's the culture that these laws are killing. Everyone is fighting against each other in the work place, instead of working together. Why? does capitalise need to be this way?

Make a Change

I’m not gonna just sit along for the ride
I’m too restless
I’m gonna make a change
I’m not gonna just sit alone in the dark
I’m so lonely
I’m gonna make a change

I’m not gonna be a statistic
I’m gonna make a change
While all these suits they walk in line
I’m not gonna
I’m gonna make a change

It seems like they’re killing our culture
And I don’t want to see it fall down
These new laws and ways of thinking
Are just gonna bring us all down
Fighting against each other
Not working as one

Leaving You This song is an emotional jounrey enjoy.

Leaving You

I’m leaving you because of you
I can’t stand the telephone
Or the screen it hurts me so
My eyes they burn
Burn away
I’m leaving you because of you
I can’t stand to face the tears in my hands
I can not block them out

But I feel a change
Is coming soon

I’m leaving you because of you
You won’t take my heart for the truth
And I can’t bare the change in you
I’m leaving you because of you
And how dare you tell me
That I’m lying to you
This can not be true
