Opaque 03:46

It’s maybe something And it’s maybe nothing I may be difficult And somewhat opaque It’s maybe something And it’s maybe nothing I may be difficult And somewhat opaque But some can see through me, and Play me like a movie, and Make it seem easy At least I’m not fake But some can see through me, and Play me like a movie, and Make it seem easy At least I’m not opaque It’s not all about me - but I look around me - what Is there to say now - that The sky up above me - has Clouded over Where is my four-leaf clover? If we take a different course It could have ended worse No one will ever know Time has obscured the flow Other dimensions are Entirely possible Where we discover our Unique Potential It’s maybe something And it’s maybe nothing I may be difficult And somewhat opaque It’s maybe something And it’s maybe nothing, and I may be difficult And somewhat opaque But some can see through me, and Play me like a movie, and Make it seem easy At least I’m not fake But some can see through me, and Play me like a movie, and Make it seem easy At least I’m not opaque If we take a different course It could have ended worse No one will ever know Time has obscured the flow Other dimensions are Entirely possible Where we discover our Unique Potential Some can see through me, and Play me like a movie, and Make it seem easy At least I’m not fake But some can see through me, and Play me like a movie, and Make it seem easy At least I’m not opaque -- Words and music by Andrew Lawrence Jackson Copyright 2017 Andrew L.

Tap The Void 04:42
lyrics

Little words I leave around Begging for silence Fewer and fewer And farther between Little lies Told in secret Linger in silence Linger there longer Go sight unseen Little misgivings Little mistakes Hoping for quiet Smaller and smaller Till nothing remains — It takes a leap of faith To forget what you know And the places you hid It takes leaps of faith To forget what you thought But you didn't do - and thought that you did Board up the windows Seal the walls Tap the Void Smaller and smaller Till nothing remains Tap the Void -- Words and music by Andrew Lawrence Jackson Copyright 2017 Andrew L.

Push till you get it Push till you get it now Push till you get it Push till you get it now They’re not gonna give it till you - (push till you get it) They’re not gonna give it till you - (push till you get it) They’re not gonna give it till you - (push till you get it) They’re not gonna give it till you Say it like you mean it Don’t give up so easily Burn it up at both ends Burn it up repeatedly Don’t rush into it Think it over thoughtfully The change you want to happen May not come so easily So push So push till you get it Push until you get it now Push till you get it Push until you get it now They’re not gonna give it till you - They’re not gonna give it till you - They’re not gonna give it till you - They’re not gonna give it till you Push till you get it So push till you get it Push until you get it now Push till you get it Push until you get it now They’re not gonna give it till you - They’re not gonna give it till you - They’re not gonna give it till you - They’re not gonna give it till you -- Words and music by Andrew Lawrence Jackson Copyright 2017 Andrew L.

Deep Dark Places 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I did some deep thinking They were talking in the other room Took me to deep dark places Had to get out of there, it couldn't be too soon Ah… in the other room Ah… in the other room I said “people are funny” There’s always someone who isn't in on the joke I had to reevaluate ‘Cause just look around and you can see what I mean I did more deep thinking And just like the first time, it just got me in trouble Now I try to stay elusive Steer clear of anything that isn’t fun or required Ah… the deep dark places Ah… the deep dark places I took the hard path through the forest It was longer and darker and deeper and stranger It’s a way to build character I wasn’t about to believe in their bullshit I try to come to terms with intention And balance it out with some kind of acceptance Now that I have your attention (assuming) I’ll try to back it up without too much reluctance Ah… the deep dark places Ah… the deep dark places -- Words and music by Andrew Lawrence Jackson Copyright 2017 Andrew L.

Fear What's Coming 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Do you fear what's coming Are you afraid to say Is it unclear what's coming At the end of the day If you can't see what's coming Are you losing sleep Is it a distant drumming You hear through the day Getting a bit surreal again Hard to define what's real, again And then, and then, and then Place the blame on Any one of your friends And then, and then, and then Shake off the oncoming Dread again Do you fear what's coming Are you afraid to say Is that a distant drumming You hear through the day Getting a bit surreal again Hard to define what's real, again At the end of the day -- Words and music by Andrew Lawrence Jackson Copyright 2017 Andrew L.

We Are Beautiful 03:56
lyrics
buy track
I am one of the beautiful people You are one of the beautiful people There’s no end to the beautiful people Let’s all pretend We are beautiful people Find something to focus on That gives you a purpose And use your intention To see it through Doesn’t matter what Other people think The only thing that matters Is what it means to you I am one of the beautiful people You are one of the beautiful people There’s no end to the beautiful people Let’s all pretend We are beautiful people -- Words and music by Andrew Lawrence Jackson Copyright 2017 Andrew L.

For The Future 02:43
lyrics
buy track
Get ready for the future because it’s here Get ready for the future because it’s here They’ll take their time to deceive us They’ll take their time to make us feel satisfied I did some thinking Now it’s after the fact I did some research How to stay on track Get ready for the future because it’s here Get ready for the future because it’s here -- Words and music by Andrew Lawrence Jackson Copyright 2017 Andrew L. Jackson

about

Following up last year's "Postmodernism" and my "Metamodernism" EP released earlier this year, this 7 track mini-album is an upbeat collection of new songs in a minimalist style. Despite a few dark overtones (due to the current climate), my overall message in these songs is a positive one of staying on course, finding your purpose, and discovering your unique potential.
