COS YOU CAN
Take a look at your life - Tell me what have you done
To make an impact - On the people you love?
Some say its not too late - To go back to the start
And give a little more time - And find a way out of here
You know you’ve gone so far
You cant push anymore
Just let the love rush in
Go run to the sun
And now youre feeling change - Maybe you can escape
From the records you made - And stories of shame
Cos its so possible - To reclaim your life
From the depths of despair - To the one that lies there …..(where…there)
You know you’ve gone so far - You cant push anymore
Just let the love rush in - Go run to the sun
Take a big long breath – feel the light coming# on
It’s a matter of time – you could take it right now
Cos you can……cos you can…
Its so possible

CHANGE THE WORLD
This life can be so unkind
With the things you’ve done
Who said it would be easy
She leaves on the out bound train
Doesnt turn around
To see what she will be losing
As we’re living in a crazy world
Reality lines are blurred
Struggling to make much sense of it
I’m done –sadly this is slowly sinking in
Hey there I never said I’d change your world
I never claimed I had the answers - Maybe this is how it is
I know you’re leaving to escape the truth
Really demanding my attention - Its been a long time there’s not much left
You’re lost in an unknown place
Where the days are long
And the nights are full of darkness
Confused on a lonely trail
Where the wind sets sail
And blows you far and onwards
And now if only you remembered when
There was never anything but this
Before you even knew of me
Life has a strange of way of letting go

HEADS TOGETHER
So it seems we’ve hit rock bottom and theres nothing else that’s left
Everything inside is madness and you cant escape from it
Memories of a by gone story left impressions on your tired mind
Take you back to a time when nothing affected you like today
Do you feel alone– do you try to hide
Do you open up– or hide away the tears
Getting by on the limited edge you try to cope with endless voice
Telling you that theres no hiding – do as I say
Following the rules – spoken inside you
Hidden from the fact – reality is crap
Can we keep our heads together – can we share and sort it out
Can we spend time together – and learn what its about
Can you keep your head together can you try to take control
In troubled times we have to find…..A way
Imagining the consequences of drug fuelled crazy dream
Cant see truth from delusion it’s a nightmare, see
You gotta talk it through – so many so like you
Gotta take control – let all of this go
“Transported into the dark – leaving sanity in the park
Breaking down at a sudden rate – clutching to your dearest mates
Wondering if it all goes wrong – will you get back where you belong
Hearing voices in your head telling you your life is dead
Buzzing with the overload – no escape – nowhere to go
Stress compression on a global scale – crushed with worry that you will fail
Panic stricken – gripped by fear - Heads together stronger here
Let the music let the music let this music heal”
Can we keep our heads together – can we share and sort it out
Can we spend time together – and learn what its about
Can you keep your head together can you try to take control
In troubled times we have to find…..A way

Hands to Heaven

RAISE MY HANDS TO HEAVEN
I sit here wondering just how to feel
Not sure if you know something I don’t
We’ve played our games too long it started to hurt
Not knowing when to stop – can this work
You disappointed me but my love shines through
And there’s only one good reason that’s I need you
You smashed my hopes and dreams you blew them away
I’m wondering if you feel as I do
So give me one good reason why my heart starts beating
When you slip in my mind
And give me one good reason why I feel I’m losing
This sense of foolish pride
So I raise my hands to heaven
And I pray you see me clear
Raise my hands to heaven
And I pray you need me here
Maybe Im optimistic I read to deep
Those little signals that you sent me
Maybe this sitations not as it seemed
Im not so sure now on reflection
You took control of me and threw me away
I don’t take kindly to rejection
Is this one sided well I have to know
If you really want to say you need me.

MILES AWAY
Here in closeness all the time
The space between us in our minds
Letting go I feel you’re there
Nothing here but distance shared
You flow over and over and over and over again
Opening memory consciously moving the end
You’re miles away
But you’re here with me
You’re miles away
But I feel you
I close my eyes and you are here
A state of love that brings you near
Over canyons - crossing seas
All unfolding as it seems
You flow over and over and over and over again
Lost in the moment so confident catching my breath
You’re miles away
But you’re here with me
You’re miles away
But I feel you
Oh oh oh oh you’re miles away – but you’re here with me

SORRY
Sorry but I fail to understand
What it is that made you feel so let down
Inadvertently somehow caused you pain
Wish I knew so I wont do it again
Sorry for the timing or for whatever was said
Sorry but I don’t know what your thinking your head
As your standing there in judgement over something that Ive done
Spare a thought me here as my world is breaking down
Im sorry for no reason - For violating you?
For making you think somehow I was out to get you
Im sorry for your feelings I only wish I knew
How to put this right and how to end this
Sorry but I don’t think this is fair
I stand accused of something in the air
A suggestion that I know just what you mean
But all Im feeling is a sadness and a need
To reach inside your consciousness and pull it from your mind
Your suggestion that I am evil is unfounded and unkind
So tape record our message and try to trip me up
But all you will be hearing is a certain sense of loss
I’m sorry for no reason - For violating you?
For making you think somehow I was out to get you
I’m sorry for your feelings I only wish I knew
How to put this right and how to end this
Maybe my naivety has played the fool again
Maybe there’s a side of me understands nothing
Sorry but in times like these I need more confidence
I’m trying to be impartial and I’m sitting on the fence
I’m sorry for no reason - For violating you?
For making you think somehow I was out to get you
I’m sorry for your feelings I only wish I knew
How to put this right and how to end this

LIKE I DO
No one dreams of better days to come
Of time under the sun – like I do
But no one feels the worry and concern
A sudden need to run – like I do
In my head I can face my fears
And turn them into positives
But oh … you got a long way to go - to carry what I know - like I do
Oh ..you’ve such a lot a more to learn - I wish you could face the world - like I do
You think I am so misunderstood
But no one knows the rules
Like I do
Feels like time is building up for us
But then I see it crashing down
But oh … you got a long way to go - to carry what I know - like I do
Oh ..you’ve such a lot a more to learn - I wish you could face the world - Like I do ……(like I do)
In dreams - in my head
It is clear – it make sense
I’m too tired to explain
Can you feel – like I do?

RIGHT TO DO
Seeing your face its clear
No one has got this near
All of the fears we felt
Seem to unwind and go
It feels so right to do
Watching the world float by
Circling your big brown eyes
Common sense fades away
With beautiful plans we make
All of it changed today
Its right to do
What we feel through
We cast away
The worries we face today
Somehow they fade to grey
None of it makes much sense
The final line of defence
Holding back from falling
Into new beginnings
Secrets and pure loving

ANGEL
You chose to be a part of us - And travelled from afar
And sometimes when I think of this – I’m overcome with pride
I’ll try to teach you all I know – Support your chosen paths
But just cos I’m responsible – you don’t belong to me
Cos You – you - You are an angel
Fallen from the heavens
You – You – You are my angels
Can’t believe you found me now
You travelled on a ray of light - Caught singing from the stars
Amazing how you found us - From all the souls on earth
And every time I look at you - I see our ancestors
Living, breathing once again - Following your life
Cos You – you - You are an angel
Fallen from the heavens
You – You – You are my angels
Can’t believe you found me now
Someday when you fly away - to make life of your own
I’ll say a prayer you’ll always be – safe here on the earth

NEVERMIND
I never thought I’d feel it
Never thought I’d stumble on the answers
“Never mind” is easy
Simple words that try to numb the feeling
Never mind – there isn’t time
And never mind – it doesn’t matter
Never mind – we all think you’re amazing
Never mind – another time
And never mind – I will be fine
So never mind you feel the disappointment
Never mind your never minds
We make a deal that this will be forgotten
So Never mind we have to find
A state of mind to move on to the future (with hope)
In and out the bright lights
Driving far away to seek forgiveness
Never mind how I could feel
I’ll have to deal with everything thats thrown at us
And put it all behind me.... 22/11/2011

It's all a matter of taste. I love this album. I love it's serenity, the beautiful instrumentation, orchestration and the great production. Ambient is not my cup of tea either, but this album crosses the borders of ambient music and prog. In other words: an awesome album!

22 LAYERS OF SUNLIGHT - Album
by ESP Project
supported by 7 fans who also own “As If... (double album)”
J'ai découvert ce projet grâce au EP "Three", j'ai tellement aimé que j'ai acheté les autres disques existants dont ce second opus ! Superbe production due a Tony Lowe qui a joué avec pas mal de monde ! Apparemment, c'est un grand fan de prog rock sophistiqué. La musique est inscrite dans notre époque, mais on remarque parfois par-ci par-là des touches de prog des '70's de toute beauté. Mes titres favoris sont "Gunshot Lips", "Algorithm", "Butterfly suite", "22 Layers of sunlight'...
