„Wake up Louisiana!” Wake up! Wake up! It's time for Mardi Gras So take your dress The Most colorful you got And please do not forget to wear some beads on your neck Look out! Look out! Indian tribes begin Parade of joy Down in New Orleans Big Chief screams at the front: „Madi cu defio” Oh, directly to lonesome hearts Like a river flow these sounds I can't wait for a chance to dance on Second Line From smile to smile I'm meeting friends of mine No matter where from, no matter who they are You can be part of the feast The feast of happiness Oh, directly to lonesome hearts Like a river flow these sounds I can't wait for a chance to dance on Second Line

Gallants 04:15
„Gallants” Come over here pale Join me in this mess Bring us some booze, Weed and snacks Don't you think that We're kind of psychopaths? 25 years of our life But what important is ahead In general I'm sure we'll never change ourselves Because this spirit made us friends It's tough to keep it in this town I know you'll never let me down I still remember All the stupid things We did together As kids And even if some fuck ups happened to us We go through it together With no doubt I'm sure we'll never change ourselves Because this spirit made us friends It's tough to keep it in this town I know you'll never let me down And even if some fuck ups happened to us We go through it together With no doubt I'm sure we'll never change ourselves Because this spirit made us friends It's tough to keep it in this town I know you'll never let me down

„Self-Identity State Of Memory” By night, still asleep I'm sneakin' out to the forest Stupefaction I used to live with Now's replaced by courage Gusty wind blows in the trees HowlS down the mindstream Everlastingly takin' me To the void deep inside me Where's the way out? I need some indication A shadow once caught escapes again I feel like a cowboy among the tumbleweeds Seconds before duel to the death The difference is ain't got no gun But the truth that's gonna break us down Never mind all the risk and wounds that follow Indication is what I need now Where's the way out? I need some indication A shadow once caught escapes again Could I wake up? Could I have this confession? Erase my memories

Memphis Blues” Memphis, oh oh oh Watchin’ you grow in the Sun Listenin' to your artists and the songs Feelin' good playin' all night long Howlin' Wolf with amazing hoarsness in his voice B.B. King, Hank Williams and the rest The time when world got changed But most of these guys Worked hard on cotton farms In the maize fields played some blues Whiskey flowed straight from their shoes Music of the gods imbued with pain and suffering The wildest of the wild but still just human beings That's the landscape of those times Memphis hey hey hey Last thing you can do is to pray City of the brightest memories The place I've dreamed about but never seen Homeless in the street listen to guitar music bits Dancin' in the rain in his holey shoes With eyes directed towards the Moon Great gig in the sky For the angels and the rest Movin', shakin', dancin' till the end of happiness Music from them hearts fallin' deep down the great lake I wish I could wake up one day and hear what they say About the Memphis Blues Memphis, oh oh oh Watchin’ you grow in the Sun Listenin' to your the artists and the songs Feelin' good playin' all night long Howlin' Wolf with amazing hoarsness in his voice B.B. King, Hank Williams and the rest The time when world got changed

"Black Tombstone" How does it feel? When your days seem numbered What does your face look like To your children and wife? Do you still care what other people think of you? Or are you scared of what life will bring soon? I got to confess That I think too much And when I'm aware of this It makes me sad Suddenly today My girl tells me about her dream She saw a black tombstone prepared for me And I was next to my hero - Wyatt Earp And I was next to my hero - Wyatt Earp

New Prince 03:52
„New Prince” Oh Wonder, I'm in fire Standing with no words Time counter got stuck No way to restart There's a dark, mysterious glow What did you show me the path there for? Now I'm drownin' into your eyes As a tear I twinkle like a star Oh Wonder, it's too late For me to repair our hearts There's a dark, mysterious glow Me and you Are shinin' all so bright We can just remain here for awhile Or return to the mess we've already cleaned
7.
„Old Fashioned Hollywood” The love I'm sharin' with you is the only one Though sometimes I just cannot hide the fire Trust me I'm gentle but let me be at last Like the guy from movies - Cary Grant Take a piece of my lonesome heart I'll take care of you like Humphrey Bogart I'll take you for a walk singin' in the rain I'll kiss you like Clark Gable kissed the girls Old Fashioned Hollywood Old Fashioned Hollywood Oh, I wish I'd been back there When Grace Kelly was a movie star When the music was important And art was real Besides I always try to get back With so much emotion I discover Something has changed a lot And something is the same But where the hell is honesty? Can you tell? Old Fashioned Hollywood Old Fashioned Hollywood Oh, I wish I'd been back there When Grace Kelly was a movie star When the music was important And art was real

„I've Got This Train” I've got this train, oh darlin' I've got this train I've got this train, oh darlin' I've got this train I hate to say but I gotta go It's too late to explain to you why Now wipe the tear and promise me You'll keep me in your mind I've got this train, oh darlin' I've got this train I've got this train, oh darlin' I've got this train Took me so long to emancipate From the botttom of my soul The time's movin' faster than the train I'm on Jesus, keep me in your care I've got this train, oh darlin' I've got this train I've got this train, oh darlin' I've got this train

„Everyday Chances” What will bring you news today? Political war or motives to blow away? Will you take someone with you? For that trip beyond your mind To save mankind Every morning I see their end Blood is pouring Right on my hands Hope is not a fact Do you believe or not? Don't call my name Don't call my name Bunch of people on the streets Tryin’ to move the crowd and prevent defeat What will you do in this case? Will you pray? It won't help I'm serious man Every morning I see their end Blood is pouring Right on my hands Hope is not a fact Do you believe or not? Don't call my name Don't call my name Every morning I see their end Blood is pouring Right on my hands Hope is not a fact Do you believe or not?

Ownbackyard 04:04
„Ownbackyard” Little steps in the garden Smilin' faces of my family What am I still worried about? Creatin' nonsense stories about life My home over the mountain It seems to be a sanctuary for my soul So far, far from the city I spend every single evening here Just me and my dreams This is the land with no expectations Landscape of sparklin' sands and diamond trees At the end there is us Standing with no pain facing the gulf My home over the mountain It seems to be a sanctuary for my soul So far, far from the city I spend every single evening here Just me and my dreams

"The Shore Up In The Sky” Lying right on my bed Eyes closed Unsteady breath Dream takes me to places I'm afraid But I wanna go You should've told me You should've told me What this is all about Whenever you're here I feel like in heaven Tonight It takes It takes us up Love I experienced there Kindled me, haunted me But now I realize There's such a thing between us You should've told me You should've told me What this is all about Whenever you're here I feel like in heaven Tonight It takes us up Into the shore in the sky I'm grateful for this grace I want to embrace you So tight It makes me feel like an angel It makes me a part of paradise Tonight It takes us up Into the shore in the sky I'm givin' you my heart I'm givin' you my soul I'm givin' you my life I'm givin' you my love It makes me feel like an angel It makes me a part of paradise

about

This third album "The Shore Up In The Sky" (Gusstaff Records/Borówka Music) will hit the stores in November 2015 and is a new path chosen by the arist from Wołów. This time the young musician decided to record an album the way his idols did in the old days - live at the studio. The accompanying musicians are members of the band Two Timer from Poznań: Ernest Kałaczyński (guitar), Łukasz Rudnicki (bass) and Max Psuja (drums). The guys met on a first rehearsal and it worked right away so the musicians decided to register with them the whole album, which will be released this fall. There are also some special guests as well like Leszek Laskowski on pedal steel guitar, Ania Brachaczek (BIFF) and Gosia Siara Witkowska (Qlhead + Siara).

On "The Shore Up In The Sky" Peter is looking for some another sounds close to his soul so you'll find it all on this album. Not only acoustic indie folk and alternative country but some more paths, from rhythm & blues till psychedelic garage rock.
