1880 Rehearsals

by Battersea

/
1.
The Sound 03:12
For the sake of a sound For the sense of searching For the breaking grounds The countless rehearsing In the name of a song And the shame of bleeding When the words are wrong Just take the beating For it's the same ideals And the same set of wheels The spark and how it feels The sound got it moving A sound For the open ears For the full blown frequency's ignition A sound And the deep soul hears What is not shown In a physical transition In the back of mind To find inspiration And with the bare hands Witness creation For it's the same ideals And the same set of wheels The spark and how it feels The sound got it moving A sound For the open ears For the full blown frequency's ignition A sound And the deep soul hears What is not shown In a physical transition
2.
Hands On 03:10
No shame in hiding No relief in senseless acts No good from pride No promise in peace pacts No hesitation, come to this confession I confess that less is more Right through the window panes I hear the far off plains Announce the morning rains The wind it will carry Next to these river shores Down where the northern wind roars To find the cross marked doors And slander will carry Man hands on the decay to man Hands on – rock the boat Every lost soul is a loss for us all When a restless spirit hits the river it’s a call How faces fall to bone How lives are turned to stone No hurt or sorrow shown And the people will carry I see the maps are spread Attempts to wake the dead A rush of blood sent to the head And Charon will carry Man hands on the decay to man Hands on – rock the boat Every lost soul is a loss for us all When a restless spirit hits the river it’s a call Hands on – rock the boat To know that the tide will rise and fall When the ignorant armies clash for us all
3.
The Just 03:40
To try and comprehend Constructing reason Accuse and defend Rhetoric’s no field of sense Everything’s a reference – it’s all … Like dots at the end Like a dead cold silence Head in the sand Blocking any evidence Cutting every reference to all Friends and allies Slander and lies The holes in the outer wall [oohoohoo] Today come what may To find two bare hands Shaking the grounds of circumstance The heartfelt embrace Counting the days The just and the truth To hide behind The piles of paper Too high to climb If anything unstable and The truth might shake and later fall on all Friends and allies Slander and lies The holes in the outer wall [oohoohoo] Today come what may To find two bare hands Shaking the grounds of circumstance The heartfelt embrace Counting the days The just and the truth credits

about

Battersea Netherlands

Battersea smeedt songs. We zoeken catchy refreinen en gitaarlijnen. Ze duiken op waar we samen komen: in de studio, in de repetitieruimte. Onze songs bouwen we op een sterk ritme en een dragende basis van bastonen. De gitaarpartijen zetten de toon voor de sfeer en vullen de vocale harmonieën aan. Elke snare, elke tokkel en elk contrapunt wordt gewogen, tot het staat als een huis.
