Waking up to a new day, just another day The TV is blaring news again Lying still, stationary Waiting for the world to end Nothing’s wrong Drinking lots of coffee with a dash of frothy milk Peeling a banana and listening to the Banshees The cat’s regurgitating food like yesterday Nothing’s changed at all but there’s a dirty war three hours away Walking in the garden with the sunshine on my shoulders My bare feet in the soil and I can feel the dirt between my toes There’s misery and poverty with a splash of agony So what’s a man to do when he’s overwhelmed by it all Lying stationary in my bed Waiting for it all to pass There’s just no making sense of senselessness I just wish I could pretend nothing’s wrong

about

Earlier this year I was feeling completely overwhelmed by all the world news. I just felt like hiding in my bed and pulling the blankets up.

One morning though, while I was drinking my coffee, a melody came to my head and before I knew it words were pouring out. A new song took form, which has now resulted in the 'Overwhelmed'-EP.

Caution is advised.


Lyrics:

Waking up to a new day, just another day
The TV is blaring news again
Lying still, stationary
Waiting for the world to end

Nothing’s wrong

Drinking lots of coffee with a dash of frothy milk
Peeling a banana and listening to the Banshees
The cat’s regurgitating food like yesterday
Nothing’s changed at all but there’s a dirty war three hours away

Walking in the garden with the sunshine on my shoulders
My bare feet in the soil and I can feel the dirt between my toes
There’s misery and poverty with a splash of agony
So what’s a man to do when he’s overwhelmed by it all

Lying stationary in my bed
Waiting for it all to pass
There’s just no making sense of senselessness
I just wish I could pretend nothing’s wrong

about

Guflux image

Guflux Utrecht, The Netherlands

"Guflux" is the musical brainchild of Dutch singer/producer John van Loon from Utrecht. The music brings ethnic sounds and melodies, with electronic beats and seductive vocals. Guflux does not like to limit itself to single genres, so you can expect acoustic cello, raw electronic beats or primal percussion. More info at www.guflux.nl ... more
