The Path 05:54
The Path Traveling through the ages Raveling words of the sages How do we go from here The path is unmarked and unclear Left to our own devices Having to make all the right choices The clock is ticking away And the fools are leading our way Think about today It’s not yesterday Think about today Make tomorrow a better day Histories writ on yellowed pages Strutting our hour upon these stages Where do we go from here The path is unmarked and unclear Left to the whims of the Bezos The Eks and the Musks and the zeroes Time is slipping away Keeping the wolves at bay Think about today It’s not yesterday Think about today Make tomorrow a better day

The River Flows Here they come, here they come Let the Kingdom come Hear them come, hear them come To the beating of the drum Over the walls And through the halls Heed their call For the weak shall fall Hear them pray, hear them pray The gods they betray Join the fray, join the fray They shall not lead you astray Over the walls And through there halls Heed their call And the meek shall fall Crusaders in perfect regalia Crusaders in perfect regalia Crusaders in perfect regalia The river flows, it never lies Here they come, here they come Let the Kingdom come Hear them come, hear them come To the bleating of the dumb Over the walls And through the halls Heed their call For the weak shall fall Crusaders in perfect regalia Crusaders in perfect regalia Crusaders in perfect regalia

Dancers In the Sun Everybody is talking about dancers in the sun They lost in the way they are all cold in the sun Everybody is talking about dancers in the rain They lost in the waythey are all thirst in the rain You better stop it Or just love it You better leave it

Sora To Kumo 06:49
空と雲 長く細い坂の途中に お前の黄色いうちがあったよ 何か食べ物を買ってから (何か食べ物を) 友達がくれた犬を連れった (友達がくれた) その辺りには古いお寺がたくさんあって 子供達が楽しげに遊んでいた 冬は雪の上を滑りながら 夏は蝉の声の中を 何か食べ物を買ってから (何か食べ物を) 友達がくれた犬を連れった (友達がくれた) その辺りには高い木立がたくさんあって 空と雲を少しだけ隠していた

Do What You Please Don’t do work that you don’t enjoy That’s what my papa said to me Hard work alone won’t make you happy You got to do what you please Take a god look around you Do you like what you see? Take a good look at your life Is it the way it should be? Without a dream you’re a boring man That’s what my mama said to me Got to have a dream, got fo think big You got to do what you please Take a god look around you Do you like what you see? Take a good look at your life Is it the way it should be?

流れに立つ 今ここに立っていて まだたくさんのことが 待ち受けている 先延ばしになっても手はつけた方がいいって 今初めてそう思えた 足は止まらない流れの中に 晴れ渡った空は頭の上に 焦らないでいい けど欺かないで 行こう、燃える陽に 導かれて 息を吸って、それから吐いて 心のままに進めばいい 目は見開いて、手は胸に もらった言葉を思い出して 
分かれ道で立ち尽くし どちらへ行けばいいか分からなくても きっと星が教えてくれる さあ、自分の勘を信じて 息を吸って、それから吐いて 道を選んで進めばいい 目は見開いて、手は胸に もらった言葉を思い出して 
今ここに立っている
川はいつだって焦らない でも僕には分かってる 今が思い切る時だって 何てことない一日 でもそこにすべてがある そう、だから大丈夫 目を上げて辺りを見て 腕を翼に、さあ、飛ぼ

about

The Wild Machinations II is the follow-up to Marcos and The Wild Machinations’ eponymous 2021 debut album. Featuring 8 songs (five by Marcos Fernandes and three covers) revolving around the themes of direction and orientation (and of course, love), the collection offers observations on the capricious twists and turns of life and the meanderings of a lost people and a rudderless society.

As Fernandes explains, “while making this record, the song order for the album presented itself to me. It seemed to want to tell a story. I was thinking what it’s about - what story it’s trying to tell. It’s pretty much rooted in the present. Not so much in the past or the future. Living, breathing, in the moment. Like a jittery news reel.“
