Seven 03:13
I saw you on the seventh floor Heard your voice behind the purple door Oh July was a dancer, She didn't know how to fly She didn't know, But oh the world was wide on that pretty day Until we catch the overflow I saw you in the wicked haze Where the fire children learn to play Oh seven was a whisper On the edge of our time And I was born On the seventh floor when I caught your eye Until we catch the rising shadows On the envelope tree There's a letter for you there's a letter for me It's bad news It's really bad news

Pull me out Of your ocean of calm I want to be like you Yes I do I don't see the point In playing it cool with you Playing it cool Send me home Follow me down To the broken feeling Dancing for you I don't see the point In playing it cool with you Playing it cool

Island Song 03:08
Made a promise to the sand Let it fall through my hand Well I hope I'll keep my word You know, I'm feeling far away More than I can say Said a secret to the sea Turned away so I could be free Well you know I'm up on life But you know, I find it hard to take When a coast fades away Oh yeah
6.
Out through the wall Into the hall A pattern will emerge beneath the clay Into the cold Forgotten world Where tulips remind you of the rain And rainbows remind you of the hour People in the shadows Will in time illuminate Hey hey hey Looks like your love is here to stay Out through the door Been here before And many are the reasons to celebrate Your broken promise to the mirror When you held a shard of glass Tightly in your hand There are things I just don't understand It'll change in winter It'll change in spring Hey hey hey Looks like your love is here to stay

Lots of Love 02:18
Lots of Love, Lots of love Lots of Love, lots of love Lots of love, lots of love To you, to you I don't know where I'm going to But I know that I'm going soon To a place where nobody cares What kind of fancy clothes you wear And I hope to see you there Lots of Love, Lots of love Lots of Love, lots of love Lots of love, lots of love To you, to you I don't know what I want to say But I know I want to demonstrate All the things that you mean to me The many colours of the deep blue sea Do you know what I mean? Lots of Love, Lots of love Lots of Love, lots of love Lots of love, lots of love To you, to you Lots of Love, Lots of love Lots of Love, lots of love Lots of love, lots of love To you, to you To you, to you, To you, to you To you, to you

A Clearing 02:27
We've come so far We've come so far And who you are And who you are Is shining through Especially today We got so lost We ran across the years And now we've reached a clearing in the trees And now I want to celebrate your life And now I want to celebrate your style The things you do, I do appreciate It felt just like I was locked inside of my pain And now I've reached a clearing again We've come so far We've come so far And who you are And who you are Is shining through Especially today It's shining through It's shining through It's shining through It's shining through It's shining through especially today

Freedom is on the run Hiding from the sun Chasing all the blue-sky-blues from your eyes It's a message to you It's a promise so true Music is on the wind Written in colours, reflections, impossible ink Lifting all the people Above where they're told That they'd better not go The music is out of control Fascination it is for a change Like they un-invented the cage It feels too soon to say you're having fun But you'd better not fight it Or the wonder that lives inside it And soon enough, baby you'll know That your trouble wasn't a killer blow, Just a chance to grow Music is on the wind Written in colours, reflections, impossible ink Music is on the wind Written in colours, reflections, impossible ink
10.
Rea-realise the place you took Put it in a song or take a book If it's just a phase, this life we know Let us gaze into the dancing moon Leave your clothes upon a hillside if it makes you happy Your guess is just as good as mine, oh yeah Rea-realise the beautiful clear clear prism that you are When you twist like fire through the air Breaking every sound barrier It doesn't matter who you you know, what you find Pretty soon it'll all be left behind, alright Rea-realise the beautiful clear clear prism that you are Rea-realise the beautiful clear clear prism that you are That you are, that you are, you are That you are, that you are, you are, you are

Anyway 05:01
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway You stood at the top of the stairs Just long enough to see What it was that you were looking for And it sure as hell wasn't me I was thinking for a while in the sun How nothing really works out when you're young Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, what was I saying Oh yeah, repeating myself again Sorry, I am mesmerised I need to close my eyes To reveal the meaning that's inside Oh when you're young, nothing works out right Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway I lost my way so many times But it wasn't hard to find The wind is by my side I feel it so alive I was thinking for a while in the sun How nothing really works out when you're young

Sean Armstrong - a songwriter and home recordist from Scotland living in Berlin. he was raised in remote corners of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, where he would walk beside the iron grey sea. as a young grown up, he moved to Glasgow to study human beings. It was there that music found him, saved him, and simultaneously destroyed his life. Sean's music is handmade, all over the place, and to the point. He enjoys singing about love, harmony and nature, and attempts to channel the special sense of timelessness that he finds in his favourite music, which is mostly of the past.
