Starman 01:24
look at me now i'm a starman into the sky with a barman look at me now i'm a starman into the sky look at this place it's a verse with so many places to go and each one is filled to the brim with so many things i'm still here writing grand gestures to you in my head i'm still here writing grand gestures to you hearing me sing it's a racket just do something with your time you know noone else will ever do it for you move on in place in illusion something to say some confusion nothing to hide you can feel your back on their eyes i'm still here writing grand gestures to you in my head i'm still here writing grand gestures to you i'm still here writing grand gestures to you in my head i'm still here writing grand gestures to you

Moving Over 02:54
lifted up the sky to see that you are what nobody else could be where you are lifting up the sky you'll see that you are what nobody else could be simplistic pleasures, i saw the wall walk, off, my, dear, i, can, not, hear lay down on my floor you don't really draw me lay down on my floor (where you are, where you are) you don't really draw me (where you are, where you are) (draw me draw me) i am moving over

Famous 04:26
i want you to know my name i'm over easy not afraid of empty hands or holding back in situ tune arresting lack adoring world in rising star fall back and need a lower bar in lack of place and knowing names in turn they know he doesn't say where are you count me too who are you count me too what is this count me in feel remiss yes i do in belief she loses sight but turns around avoids the fright of ghastly yearning hoping too and mediocre tv tunes want a go i don't know is that so i don't know want to play i can't say feeling grey that i'll say what to do turn to blue do you know i'll have a go see that's right i'm feeling fine you're taking flight i feel just fine i want you to know my name i'm over easy not afraid of empty hands or holding back in situ tune arresting lack adoring world in rising star fall back and need a lower bar in lack of place and knowing names in turn they know he doesn't say in belief she loses sight but turns around avoids the fright of ghastly yearning hoping too and mediocre tv tune

Across 06:39
we will go across the town and then we'll be in nottingham cross the skies and blueish seas and then we'll be in ulysses every now and then we'll fall and then we'll call and then we'll go up and over like they say down make believe route motorway so i won't see you i'll know how to be true in the end go i don't need you to show why won't we do in the end of this one bing bong so why won't we do? i'll know how to beat you in the end so hard to see through the words bouncing over and opening my head

Lucid 02:02
it's enough to be in dreams nothing else is ever as it seems write it down before you go in an hour you will barely know know yourself and it will be push a finger through your hand to see waking up inside a dream spin in circles to avoid awaking, i'm baking in bedsheets and summer heat i'm afraid of what i'll do if i see you i'll be sure to act right unpredictability never really sure of what it makes me i'm aching to be you
6.
if you really love me let me know and i will know your name you will do the same if you wanna show me just go on and i will not complain you will do the same when i look at you i see him in my eyes my dear double reflection flesh and glass silly people sleep in let them be there's time for all to see time to disagree thunder lightning what a show it's so frightening to look at you and see him in your eyes my dear a double reflection flesh and glass still i look to you and notice in my eyes and ears somebody saying shades of black

Celeste #2 06:05
this is how you make me feel celeste in two this is how you make me feel celeste where are you i'm not surprised by this i'm not surprised by this, or this this is what we did last week celeste move on this is how we feel now celeste she's gone move on
8.
Moving On 04:02
moving on it all remains remote and cold you talk to me i'm still afraid there's empathy in what you say i talk to see years have passed you know my name i tend to ask were we the same you're still moving over me as i attempt to reconcile the past faces looming over me as i remember to resolve my past cycle out instil a frame say the words absolve the blame cut them down to make a point move your hands distill the point words are bouncing over me as i intend to focus on the past singular in entity the group dynamic can't escape the past i resolve to make a point it's clear to me we're living in the past you explain we'll both be free submerge yourself in living in the past instil a frame
9.
Two Houses 05:57
lived in two houses lived in two houses i know how it seems falling down i know what it means working out i know how it seems falling down i'll say what it means working out i'm walking home, i'm walking home to home
10.
Sacred 04:12
the seeds you've sewn aren't growing empassing you on the end your feeble form is throwing words around like a tender look at me i'll be a passing light to you i'm nothing more the place you saw was sacred the people there are naked holding hands and simply letting on discreetly til' you see the night is passing by but when will it arise by and by I'm floating by oh my i think i see the peak of it
11.
Go Away 02:04
spin in two and never far i'm sorry hither to and oh so on the floor run away baby run away sweet bitter order makes a stand to see fit to broader shoulders don't believe it's true run away baby run away sweet run away you're not me run away i'm beat
12.
Readymade 05:26
so we content rely on sleep an opening too small to see his final work, surprisingly a game of chess suffice to see it's okay i know you'll be okay i know just look through and you'll find in this wonderland of mine wrote a book to explain how to set it up again and i hope you see what it meant to me and i hope you see what i want it to be i'll be gone readymades the nineteen thirty eight surrealist convention the large glass and bicycle wheel first papers the waterfall and the illuminating gas tiny versions of his works in a little brief case the final problem, white moves first

Regression 11:22
pt1 i've fallen asleep at the wheel i've fallen asleep on the job i've fallen asleep in the middle i've fallen asleep on the floor i'm going to see what is real i'm going to see what is not i'm going to see how i feel i'm going to see it a lot if i could see, if i could know where could i be pt2 i won't ask you again i will ask you to repeat the question i won't motion and then turn around and pretend to miss you sideways i come down to see the play pt3 if baby was my name throw my bottle on the floor look for answers in their faces just cry and ask for more if baby was my name i would read up on the facts and i'd tell them all i learned but they never listen they will never listen until you're listening and at that point it's all far too late they will never hear you they will never listen to what you said they will never listen until you're dead they will never listen until you're dead so stop asking questions that we don't know just stop asking questions until you know please stop asking questions you're making us feel slow we'll take off the helping wheels and let you go

about

Hello there. It has been a minute, i know. Lots has happened since i was last around, to both of us i am sure, but this is not the time or place or space. I recorded this album back home at my mother's house during the first of the lockdowns that took place in twenty twenty. It was a period of sunshine and thunderstorms and childhood/lack thereof. It was a very happy time in my life, in the top two or three at least. Despite all that was happening outside of myself i couldn't help but enjoy everything it brought me. Freedom in lieu of itself, or something along those lines. It was a last gasp of the life i had known as a child, before the great drain and before my own manouveurs took me away. I was incredibly happy. The weather felt like it changed daily, rain sun storm, unbearable-heat and rain again. I was very happy. I remember sheltering from the rain with my friends. I wrote and recorded these songs during that time, in my sisters old bedroom that is no more. It was my very first real album. When i left manchester to return to my prior life in brighton it slipped away, somewhere along itself. At some point i gave up on it. I forget when. Bigger and better things, i said. And did, i suppose. Nearly two years later i feel ready for it to come out, in much the same state i had left it in. A state i deemed unfinished at the time, deeply and perhaps mistakenly. I guess it is finished now. The next step in that very same process. You'll never be a kid again, kiddo.

I hope you enjoy listening to it, sincerely. It has been a long and strange path to be able to say such a thing. I love this album, and i am so very proud of both the me who made it and the me who is releasing it. We are probably more alike than we think. Love, ike xxx

Written and recorded by Ike Goldman at Clarendon Road, Zetland Road, and London Road between March and July 2020
