North Star 03:56
Reflections Wild eyes feeding senses in the darkness To find your Self you turn the stars counter-clockwise Bring the heavens near Behind the sunset Beyond the mirror Bring on the night Trace the pointer line You’ll know which way to climb I’m channeling the North Star What brought me here has got me looking up I’m channeling the North Star That which brought me here is gonna take me Ignited by the magic of the night sky as I kiss you No clouds to hide naked under the sky Be the star that brings the other stars Igniting wild hearts Orienting from afar With this beauty of the night I am never lost I’m channeling the north star What brought me here has got me looking up I’m channeling the north star that which brought me here is gonna take me I’m channeling the north star What brought me here has got me looking up I’m channeling the north star That which brought me here is gonna take me Ascension of a Wild Star Chasing hearts within the darkness Time to decide if the price is your life You want to she’s burning desire flames the sky Igniting wild hearts Orienting from afar With this beauty of the night I am never lost I’m channeling the North Star What bought me here has got me looking up I’m channeling the North Star That which bought me here is gonna take me Igniting wild hearts Orienting from afar With this beauty of the night I am never lost I’m channeling the North Star What brought me here has got me looking up I’m channeling the North Star that which brought me here is gonna take me I’m channeling the North Star What brought me here has got me looking up I’m channeling the North Star That which brought me here is gonna take me

Digging through yesterday I smile then you walk away Same old universe Outside walking Waving and a-talking Then you clamp your eyes on me Sometimes it rains And you still remain Nothing washes you away No matter what comes down You're always the same Put on a show for me Embrace your insanity Then the message relax or die Turns you from my eye I want to be born Cut through all my old weird endings Sometimes it rains And you still remain Nothing washes you away No matter what comes down You're always the same Sometimes it rains And you still remain Nothing washes you away No matter what comes down You're always the same Always the same... Always the same Sometimes it rains Sometimes it rains and you still remain Sometimes it rains and you still remain Always the same Sometimes it rains Always the same And you still remain Always the same Always the same

Flying high when I did depart The world in hand and a foolish heart Allow myself to feel everything And I fell down 'cause the arrow came We shone bright to the sea below Wind and rain will forever glow Hearts and arrows Things we'll never know The journey starts with the feathers you grow What brings me down is no place to go There's nowhere left but the ocean And these waves I just don't know Just a drop in the ocean Caught by the storm Rain falling, wind storming What is all this that's forming? We shone bright to the sea below (Lift me out...) Wind and rain will forever glow (Lift me out...) Hearts and arrows (Lift me out...) Things we'll never know It's in my bones, born to fly Heart and soul, I do abide Could be shot in the heart twice To not go up, I'd rather die Drop in the ocean Caught by the storm Rain falling, wind storming What is all this that's forming? We shone bright to the sea below (Lift me out...) Wind and rain will forever glow (Lift me out...) Hearts and arrows Things we'll never know (Lift me out...) We shone bright to the sea below (Lift me out...) Wind and rain will forever glow (Lift me out...) Hearts and arrows Things we'll never know (Lift me out...) Lift me out... Lift me out... Lift me out... Lift me out... What is all this that's forming... Lift me out... Lift me out... What is all this that's forming... Lift me out... Lift me out... Lift me out... Lift me out... What is all this that's forming? Just a drop in the ocean Caught by the storm Rain falling, wind storming What is all this that's forming? We shone bright to the sea below (Lift me out...) Wind and rain will forever glow (Lift me out...) Hearts and arrows Things we'll never know

So Lonely 04:24
Well someone told me yesterday That when you throw your love away You act as if you just don't care You look as if you're going somewhere But I just can't convince myself I couldn't live with no one else And I can only play that part And sit and nurse my broken heart So lonely, I feel so alone So lonely, I feel so alone Well no one's knocked upon my door For a thousand years or more All made up and nowhere to go Welcome to this one man show, so lonely! So lonely, I feel so alone So lonely, I feel so alone Just take a seat they're always free No surprise, no mystery In this theater that I call my soul I always play the starring role So lonely, I feel so alone So lonely, I feel so alone Just take a seat they're always free No surprise, no mystery In this theater that I call my soul I always play the starring role So lonely, I feel so alone So lonely, I feel so alone

The Nomad 04:23
Eyes that shine His pen scratches No more cables Open spaces No planes in the sky Fuse boxes A land of horses Rusted pipes Two ancient tribes Nomad through The office door Distracts the line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight… Signs of life Your hands grasping Midnight bus stop Charge of lightning Vines are growing wild Cellphone screens They’ll be here soon Overgrowth And cans of beans Nomad through The rotten floor Deflects signs that mislead The line of sight… The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight… Nomad through The rotten floor Has faded with the light The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight... Nomad through The office door Distracts the line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight… Nomad through The office door Has faded with the light The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight The line of sight…

We share a pulse we share a breath In Deepness we align say my name say my name A shot of sunlight caught my eye Shine a light on our shadow sides We could be magic, Kings queens and warriors. There’s always more to know, We are soft wired after all, Eyes like fuses, burning bright. We share a pulse We share a breath Eyes flash in time with our minds Say my name say my name You’re the light within my eyes. Shine a light on our shadow sides We could be magic, Kings queens and warriors. There’s always more to know, We are soft wired after all, Eyes like fuses, burning bright.

Firing out at me Firing out at you What comes down Scatters around And scatters over you Deeper - bullet - blue sky You run run run When you can fly eye eye You are the sun You are the gun When you realize You are the sun You are the gun When will you realize Shining in the sun Glinting of a gun Bullets tear And scatters over there Your words don’t care Deeper - bullet - blue sky You run run run When you can fly eye eye You are the sun You are the gun When will you realize Firing up, glinting sun Triggers minds today Colors shine, shooting high Flash inside the ray Firing up Glinting sun Triggers minds today Colors shine Shooting high Flash inside the ray Holding head up high You are my right side On the run You are the gun Confusion meets the eye Deeper bullet blue sky You run run run When you can fly eye eye You are the sun You are the gun When will you realize Firing up, glinting sun Triggers minds today Colors shine, shooting high Flash inside the ray Firing up, glinting sun Triggers minds today Colors shine, shooting high Flash inside the ray Firing up, glinting sun Triggers minds today Colors shine, Shooting high Flash inside the ray

Split Brain 04:00
Cut in two Split down Heal my life See what I don’t feel Close one eye We don’t know what Make stories up Ask me why and I am lost Like a split brain confabulate anyway Ten hours Two sides Separate minds Not sure who it is that does the listening Not sure why I’m grabbing somethings missing Electric light it got me down In my place a broken crown But I’m not shaking anymore, anyway Ten hours Two sides Separate minds

about

This album is an invocation - inviting us to be in the present moment.

The lockdown was a reflection of our need to connect… to reach out… but also to find resilience within. Like so many, Adam turned to music for solace during the lockdown – the project started with a reworking of "So Lonely"…

Realizing that being disconnected is also an opportunity to be connected, immersing in the world of music and feeling, Adam started to write songs looking inside and looking to the stars for guidance – North Star.

The album's themes are vast with lyrics exploring split brain patients, Jungian archetypes and shadow sides, the journey of the Sufi mystic and the ancient explorers following the night sky.

Weaving acoustic guitars and cut up samples of strings and synth, drums, heartbeats and vocals fused both with a little regret and above all hope - Shadowbanned’s music and soundscapes tap into a unique space, offering Adam a blueprint to which he can weave and spin a body of words and melody into. It doesn’t just stop there, the web catches more ideas as they go along, creating layers and developing a pulse that tattoos its rhythms into your brain.
