If there was a way That you could see Around the corner Would you look Around the corner Even before you had Walked there in Your shoes? If there was a way That you could see Around the corner Would you look Around the corner Even before you had Walked there in Your shoes? If there was a way That you could see Around the corner Would you look Around the corner Even before you had Walked there in Your shoes? If there was a way That you could see Around the corner Would you look Around the corner Even before you had Walked there in Your shoes? In your shoes. In your shoes. In your shoes. And you're walking in your shoes, oh. If there was a way That you could see Around the corner Would you look Around the corner Even before you had Walked there in Your shoes? If there was a way That you could see Around the corner Would you look Around the corner Even before you had Walked there in Your shoes? If there was a way That you could see Around the corner Would you look Around the corner Even before you had Walked there in Your shoes? Walked there in Your shoes If there was a way That you could see Around the corner Would you look Around the corner Even before you had Walked there in Your shoes? In your shoes. In your shoes.

Morning New 02:57
lyrics

The morning new It came to you, my friend I can't decide If life is wrong Or is the wrong my right? The mountain side It was less steep When I was not so high. The morning new The morning new Arose on you, my friend Behind your eyes I could not see If I was in your sight. The end of time Is not enough 'cause you're still On my mind Still on my mind You're still on my mind I walked alone Until I came to a cross in the road. A helping hand Is what I knew Came from a darker land. The morning new The morning new Arose on you my friend The morning new The morning new Arose on you my friend.

Can't Leave 04:20

I was walking alone into the night Ask yourself if you ever seen All those things that come out after the light Scarier than you'd ever dreamed Now you can take my blood if you'd really like 'Cause living here just feels like a dream All my memories are broken inside And I could never repair the seams And if you're feeling something That you haven't felt before It's probably because You're feeling it for the first time. If I'm dreaming something That I never thought about before It's just because You are on my mind. My mind has been wandering lately Could it just be the time of the year? In the pages of my diary It's just an empty space. An empty space where you could have been. An empty place where you should have been. But I can't lament the past 'Cause it goes so quickly. Your fingers have to grasp Onto every minute Every single moment that you Lived through before This time today I would say: You're not as young as you used to be. You're not as fun as you should have been And I can't leave you alone if I tried. I cannot help that you stay on my mind. I was walking alone into the night Ask yourself if you ever been. All those things that came out after the light, Scarier than you'd ever dreamed. You can take my blood if you'd really like 'Cause living here just feels so obscene. All my memories are broken inside and I could never repair the seam. I could never repair the seam I could never repair the seam. I could never repair the seam. I could never repair the seam. I'm not as young as I used to be. I'm not as fun as I used to be. But in the end I can't complain 'Cause I've still Got blood in my veins It's pumping round my Body day and night, And I've got the gift of life Right by my side.

Smile 02:56
lyrics

Walking alone again Looking out for a friend. Give me your hand to hold upon. I cannot tell you when we will get home. I like the shape of your smile. I like the shape of your smile. I like the shape of your smile. Softly spoken that's how we like. Too aggressive for these people at my side. Cannot tell if they are Left or Right. Only matters what is in your eyes. I like the shape of your smile. I like the shape of your smile. I like the shape of your smile. So transparent but can hardly see The signs of things that's coming up to me. Walking alone once again inside, But outside I cannot feel this fine. I like the shape of your smile. I like the shape of your smile. I like the shape of your smile. Darker clouds are forming from above Clouding the sky and make us feel like we just cannot love. Would you ever ask for a glove to cover up your hand, Even if it's covered with blood? I like the shape of your smile. I like the shape of your smile. I like the shape of your smile. Pull the thread and then we'll maybe see Unravelling of a tapestry Used to tell the story about you and me But there is only a string left in between.

Be Your Friend 04:16
lyrics

I didn't need to know What you're going to do I could stay around Like I always do. I could be your friend If you say alright. I could be your friend Almost everytime. By the time that you read my letter I will be long gone Round the corner and Way past your point of view. Tried to take the higher road But old habits die hard As if you needed evidence Or proof. Shorter of breath Heart is beating like a tiny drum Pulse is getting Quicker as I Think of you Waking up in the morning To an emptyness A darker sun will rise Shedding light upon the truth, but: I didn't need to know What you're going to do I could stay around Like I always do. I could be your friend If you say alright. I could be your friend Almost everytime. Would you ever anticipate A reasonable doubt Drawn from the Outline of your memory? Past is always sweeter When the glass is tinted Rose-colored pigments to Liven-up your feel. Just in case you were under the Impression that I cared For the way that you work out Your anxiety, When it’s much more important To establish common goals And make the preparation, Necessity 'cause: I didn't need to know What you're going to do I could stay around Like I always do. I could be your friend If you say alright. I could be your friend Almost everytime. By the end of this drink You will get another nail to drive Into the coffin built in front of you Better hope that the water Does not continue to rise And wash away All the things you tried to steal. You we’re asking me Something I just could not hear Over collapsing walls of society It was just another one of those things Caught between the edges of there and over here. I didn't need to know What you're going to do I could stay around Like I always do. I could be your friend If you say alright. I could be your friend Almost every- Almost every- Almost every night. I didn't need to know What you're going to do I could stay around Like I always do. I could be your friend If you say alright. I could be your friend Almost everytime.

Old Man Mike San Juan, Puerto Rico

Music for just after the after party

Hi, I'm Mike, I've been making music as "Old Man Mike" since 2009 after a friend jokingly called me that when I was listening to some nice morose (in the best possible way) Nick Cave music. I thought it was funny in my 20's, because everyone else was tiny and lil and baby. And those will get old quick. But Old Man Mike is ready made history: timeless ... more
