lyrics
Sleeping. That’s all I’m thinking.
Drifting. And no-one’s taking.
All around the change of life is happening,
like we could never dare – or never care.
Thinking. The world is thinking.
Listening. And now we’re hearing.
Suddenly the sights and sounds surround us,
that were not there before,
Our mind’s closed door.
Honey bees and cherry trees and factory worker’s toiling through the night – it’s all right.
Keep us safe and so secure, never certain, now we’re sure – you’re vital.
Smiling faces at the gate,
the only contact that you make – be mindful.
We’re all as one.
Just be thankful.
Just be mindful.
Hush now. The world needs pause now.
Embracing chaotic calm.
Lightly then we tread untrodden sand,
leaving marks that pave the way, to better days.
Sharing a simple pleasure. Turning to face the rain.
Common times we climb uncommon mountains,
and here we are again. Gentle refrain.
Busy lives that fall from grace,
simple pleasures take their place – live smaller.
Trading stories of our time,
we laugh and dance and spill the wine – together.
And tomorrow turn the page.
The lights go out upon the stage forever.
We are as one.
Just be thankful.
Longing, We long for closeness.
To be held. And hold again.
Starved of touch we hold ourselves together,
and wash our hands again, to ease the pain.
Linger. The feeling lingers.
Gnawing – like salt on steel.
Where we go from here can’t help but wonder,
But knowing all too well, only time will tell.
Six feet distance far apart,
so far between two lonely hearts – we’re waiting.
Lonesome days bring lonesome nights, l
ike a bird that’s paused in flight – we’re waiting.
Lonely times breed lonely hearts.
Bad connections while apart. We’re aching.
We’ll be alright.
Just be thankful ... Just be mindful ... Just be thankful.
We’ll be alright.

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black
A soundtrack to a film that is both historical and autobiographical, Yang’s music here finds graceful beauty in slowly unfolding melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 4, 2023
The two epic tracks on the latest from BC group Lakeman are mind-melters, opening slow and pensive before erupting into near-doom metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2022
For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed. Trebör
Another GREAT! live album release and one that perhaps offers plenty of variety of the longer time slot and the set list which features a few surprises. Once again Jones is playing on his own and delivers the goods with his truly GREAT! performances and usual humour and interaction with the crowd. His presence alone makes it more warm and inviting and there is plenty here to get your teeth into. Highly recommended... Lee Lucas
