From The Sky
04:13

|
well I arrived on time
for your funeral
and I do what I can to get by
well the space man told me there's no space for you
but I made room anyway; he didn't even try
and while the angels worry all about their quotas
and the demons see their stocks on the rise
I'm just watching these fools just lose it anyway
it really comes as no surprise
and if you ask me where I came from
I came
from the sky
so you tell me that the spirits tell you in your dreams
well I'm surprised they didn't stop to mention this
because I parted the clouds and rode down on the light
and I sealed the deal with you with a kiss
and if you ask me where I came from
I came
from the sky
can you hear me?
and the angels ask me why I bother
and the demons want to know where I've been
I'm just another traveler
navigating by the stars
and I'm doing alright
for the shape I'm in
and of all the closed minds that I have opened
yours was one I might have closed again
because of all the mumbo jumbo that will twist ones mind
I just wouldn't even know where to begin
but if you ask me where I came from
I came
from the sky

Blink Drive
04:39
|

|
First I'm nowhere
then everywhere
I want to be
It seemed like never
took forever
but now I see
seemed I'd never
reach the stars
while still alive
it's just too far
only took
a moment
to engage
the one and only
the blink drive
and now I'm anywhere
and everywhere
instantly
and dark matter
will only scatter
where I used to be
seemed I'd never
reach the stars
while still alive
it's just too far
only took a moment
to engage
the one and only
the blink drive

I've been searching
through time and space
for a reason
to wanna see another face
and I've been travelling
in real time
for a travellers soul
just like mine
and in my travels
through time and space
I've yet to achieve
any state of grace
because I've been travelling
in analog real time
for a travellers soul
just like mine

What It Is
04:57
|
|||
|
well the people
think I'm crazy
but I don't mind
just a traveler
who lost my way
not sure what I will find
what it is
is it's time to go
is what it is
lookin out
at the universe
I admit that I am lost
just a traveller
who lost my way
not sure what line I crossed
what it is
is it's time to go
is what it is

Not Of This Earth

twenty thousand days
I still don't belong
I watch the stars above
and admit that I was wrong
arrived on halloween
till the moment of my birth
made from exploding stars
just not
of this earth
not of this earth
not of this earth
I try to communicate
I try to sympathize
but my message of love
continues to mystify
in all the universe
for what it's worth
you are not alone
we're just not of this earth
I found the only one
who is what she seems
if we can't live in peace
I'll fly in my dreams
but I still look around
and I pray they arrive
to change this world
while I'm still alive
not of this earth..

Against The Wind
06:17
|
|||
|
there's a cold wind blowin
keepin me from the rest
just out of reach
although I do my best
some born with wind at their back
but no hand to extend
seems like I'm always walkin'
walkin' forever
against the wind
the winter came on strong
frozen where I stand
spring comes and I'm on the run
but no telling where I'll land
some born with wind at their back
but no hand to extend
seems like I'm always walkin'
walkin' forever
against the wind
still I walk
and I still forge ahead
that wind blows cold
like it heard what I said
some born with wind at their back
but no hand to extend
seems like I'm always walkin'
walkin' forever
against the wind

Silver Thread
04:13
|
|||
|
went visiting far off lands
for a soul
with the answer
I'm looking for
just visiting space
through the atmosphere
and found an open door
I drifted all the way
on a Saturday
what my soul could find
just visiting space
through the atmosphere
nearly lost my mind
I stretched a silver thread
a trillion miles
further than I should
just visiting space
through the atmosphere
best I could

The Distant Stars
05:13
|
|||
|
well the space man told a story
about when they lived on mars
they always wondered what life was like
out in the distant stars
so they built themselves a rocket
and headed out into space
they gave up their old planet
to find a better place
and I said
now we're trying to live there
so we can go
to the distant stars
he said you can't even fix your own place
and you clearly had it made
the earthlings destroy everything
even nature begins to fade
and of all the marbles in the sky
this one was a jewel
we gave up that old planet
to find a better place
and I said
now we're trying to live there
so we can go
to the distant stars

Leave This World
03:30
|
|||
|
I'm gonna leave this world
a very happy man
I did the best that could here
without a plan
I'm going to point my ship
the hell away from here
I'll have a drink and a smoke
and I won't shed a tear
I'm on the run
and there's a very fine line
walking down your street
I thought you lost your mind
standing on your feet
best to walk away
while the body's cold
it'll be a little bit different
when I get old
I took a long long look
at how things have been
had a smile on my face
since I don't know when
been a long time since I cared
what anybody thought
things go a whole lot better
when I don't get caught
I'm on the run
I'm gonna leave this world
a very happy man...

Jeff Michaels Austin, Texas
beautifully explosive electricity for the discerning psychopath
If you like Jeff Michaels, you may also like:
supported by 4 fans who also own “Not Of This Earth”
So, this is my edited review. I recommend you buy this EP, if for no other reason, than BLACK MOLASSES. It starts softly with a clear near perfect vocal. Then builds into stoner rock perfection. The jam- guitar, drums & bass are just badass. Awesome. And the rest of the disc is freaking great in its own right. LOVE this ep. 🤘🤘🤘

Like Uncle Acid doing a retro blues rock album. Killer groove and flow. Looking forward to their upcoming release.

The Burden of Restlessness
by King Buffalo

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL.

Future Remains [LP]
by Hollow Ship
With its gradually-unspooling grooves and danceable beats, the debut effort from Swedish psych band Hollow Ship entices with every listen.
go to album
The debut LP from Kioea is dreamy psychedelic surf music that calls back to the '60s while feeling remarkably contemporary.
go to album
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect.
