The 12 Stages Of Freedom
Music and Lyrics – Stu Hunter
In moments
Uncertainty flows throughout the garden
Truth in a perfect lie cracks the dawn
Shaking the faithful canon
Unspoken
This garden is no Eden
leave by the pearly gate
Drops in the ocean
Wash away the sin
An Odyssey begins of questions not answers
circling misty doors of promise
Answers of black and white tempt the heart
memories of promised Zion
Unspoken
An alien in the nation
Guilt a shadow
Observed, never private
No peace in the home
all eyes watching
Never all alone
Feeling separate
No way to return
Cut ties hanging
Still moored to the child alone in the distance
Go now, find the child, alone in the distance
Go now, find the child, small child, bring him home.
Don’t climb the 12 steps to freedom, they are desire
Only way back, is down
Walk
Chase the dream
Miss the boat
let it float away
There are pathways to unearth in the water
Don’t delay
The moment, the master
Steps measured in lifetimes
Walk
Breathe the night and time can unpick the stitches
Hold the line
In clouds, the eyes are blind
Truth is the entropy
Hidden behind the flags of belief are frozen hearts
Here my child, I’ll hold you
Time brought me to you
I was there, I know
I’ll be your guide
joy is your fortune
Watch the cloud dissolve and taste your freedom
My love, I feel you
Gone is the darkness
Kiss my eyes and sleep
Our dreams are young
Vast as the universe
The only limit now is imagination

Nock et al prove that you don't need to go beyond pure, traditional jazz techniques to produce some amazing tracks. As long as musicians can produce sounds like this, jazz will never die. Eclecticon

The guys set out to make a record with a specific feel, a recreation of the old Prestige Jazz sessions. They succeed. Every track feels like a classic. Matt Erion
