water

Posted by luke thompson under: Music; Ramblings.

I am the stranger in the shadows

I am the sleeper at the wheel

Am I the choice & the anonymous voice

That says none of it’s real

I’ve heard the footsteps of the hungry

I’ve heard the breathing of relief

I heard the scream of a mother in a dream

But that could have been me

I walked out to the grieving ocean

I lay down by the thirsty sea

I found a man there dying without water

He looked just like me

I have come from the walls of worry

I fled the wounded streets of war

I walked a thousand miles in the wrong direction

But what was it for?

I am a chorus of the guilty

I am the water on the ground

I am collectively the face of the lost

Who want to be found

We drink to love and to deception

We drink to charity and greed

We drink to numb the very thing we’ve become

When its water we need

singing just for fun

This is short film/doco I made over the past year, in my spare time and sleepless nights. Documenting a New Zealand tour, hanging out with friends and driving around the country in a blue bus. visit www.youtube.com/lukethompsontv to watch Part 2.

amazing grace in a little old church

Posted by luke thompson under: Videos.

When we were on tour in the south island we came across this little old church in the middle of no where, the key was in the door so went in to have a look. We stuck around for a few hours singing and playing. Good times. The video camera ran out so we only got three or four songs but we must have sung twenty something… Check out some others on youtube.

satellites – new video

Posted by admin under: Videos.

Check out the new music video we made for ‘Satellites’. Its bits and pieces we shot on the recent tour and even some footage from way back recording the album, which feels like seven years ago! I think i’ll make a short film/doco out of the footage we shot on tour, using all the most boring parts…maybe.
