Dr. Beaf The track Pieces has the best bassline I've heard in a while. This band is like the relationship our organs have with our body. They are all in sync, compliment each other to make everything work in harmony. This album always hovers around the horizon. Great to listen to after work on the long drive home during a sunset. Favorite track: Pieces.

From Light 03:30
born from light we rose and danced on a tightrope oh it never gets old we never forget what we know we are the old dreams at the bottom of the sea rising to the surface with our memories form and shapeless i drift from one thing to the next i go resting in between the unseen and the unknown we expand like mysteries unsolved picking up what seems untouchable gathering speed beyond the seen a lucid dream yet to be on and on we come and go flames flickering taught to know time is moving us along on and on and on and on and on we come and go
2.
Pieces 03:54
sometimes we be fallin’ from the sky you’d be surprised just how fast we turn light on our feet digging holes searching for gold finding lies open eyes to see the invisible too slippery to hold too frenetic too bold pieces of a whole don’t you know these bodies get tired of movin' like machinery rustin’ over, weavin’ in and out of dreamscapes we escape into wandering hollow bones drawing mass we forget we are not our limits we are ageless energy unfolding unfolding free fallin' towards the light don’t be so tied to time
3.
Upside Down 03:58
i been upside down on a couple of things in my head they been rolling around how do i get over this feeling so stuck my feet won't move like i want them to and i just sink further into you how do i get over this feeling i'm so stuck circles become familiar feels easy a bit simpler to let gravity take me, sway me turn me inside out and in again no beginning or end no telling when we gonna stop pretending gonna stop this foolishness like sinking into quicksand i’m forgetting my footing don’t know what i did before
4.
Broken Lines 03:53
tracing the broken lines i echo back in between digits and digits undone time’s a widow who weeps and for her i breathe cut me down cut me up like loose leaf hang my property out to dry sinew settling like confetti and here i am falling like grace gather me in stones to skim the divide unshakeable my faith untameable my rage ‘cause collared and chained a lion is still a lion even when covered and caged muddy and muddled inside i know my role, i’ve walked these roads before running on empty until i hit the wall, slide onto the floor cut me down cut me up i need this hang my head in my hands and cry shattered pieces of me go missing i’m so dizzy from falling baptized in the underworld just to feel the contrast when i rise
5.
Static 03:57
static on the line it’s a distance well defined as drops of time puddle at our feet but i don’t want all this space in between us i don’t want to lose you lose love hurry hurry here we go now here we go now faster faster moving apart there’s no time to slow down all these games we play keep getting us caught up wound so tightly in our nets till we totally forget we bear down into spaces much too close hold us just to have a place to call our own but i know i could be your home i am building a castle in your comfort zone we touch down to break ground we are we are ready now
6.
Time War 03:26
in a time war by the fields where we soar like outlaws who flee from the world in the backdrop broken clocks and everything we know fallin’ down around us gilded in gold where do we wander when the sun disappears will we remember we were once here where do we wander
7.
Night Sky 03:44
on the merry go merry go we go round chasing silhouettes and sound fleeting flickering lights bright against the night sky feel it running up my spine away we go with our backs to the shore we’re looking for more more dressed and undressed slow light form rippling tides tornadoes oh, oh, oh we drift drop into higher states let shadows sound our escape i love the hide and the seek head start in the chase
8.
Oblivion 04:42
there will come a day when the lullabies in your landslide will begin to give way to a darker place will you stay or will you go will you stay or will you go into oblivion into oblivion walls up and you take up arms to fight against us as the days go on walls up and they won’t come down the higher you get the harder you hit the ground didn’t you see me standin’ there watchin’ you go by
9.
Left 01:58
into the night we went holding on to what’s left but will we forget will we forget into the night we went
10.
Otherside 03:39
never meant to disappear these shadows grow weary over the years feels like a disease that took over me i’m tryin’ to break free so i’m runnin' over runnin' over to the other side runnin' over runnin' over to the other side of this trying to get over over this trying to get over broken back and crooked from the carrying bent into my wings i'm no longer balancing my head been heavy not knowing for every ghost there’s a returning been here the whole time out of sight you will find me in the night
11.
Canvas 04:53
colors painted across my landscape because you know i can be your canvas or the whispers from your lips soft like ocean mist and i hear a roaring thunder echo all the crazy little worlds we’re made of isn’t quite enough it never was but your touch defines my love sing me i'm your melody
