clearhythm Soulful vocals from one of the true talents of this generation. Tasteful strings, heartening vocals, strong melodies and a tasteful splash of piano on Mourning Light. Alley is a personal favorite, with an inspiring message "I am not alone". I personally know the artists, and they are all heartfelt, generous, kind people, just like their music. If you love acoustic ambient good time vibes, you need look no further. MAJK is pure magic! Favorite track: Alley.

Twine 04:53
Tell me when you arrive Bodies unravled caught up in the light Should I fall in for a while Closer like the curious kind Call me I'll come anytime Bring me your water I'll drink it like wine Help me leave my trouble behind The bed, the sheet, or the lover entwined Ooh I want you like a summer prize Ooh I hear the dehydration cry Ooh I'm naked under fire eyes Ooh I wait until tomorrow night Call me I'll come anytime Bring me your water I'll drink it like wine Help me leave my trouble behind The bed, the sheet, or the lover entwined Ooh I want you like a summer prize Ooh I hear the dehydration cry Ooh I'm naked under fire eyes Ooh I wait until tomorrow night

Science 05:14
She kneels down behind the mountain with a shroud of gold wrapped around her shoulders / all the buildings reach up to the sky and try to fly but end up falling over / The falcon sitting on her perch she's cryin' out for her companion / and I'm sitting watching purple fade as fog machines blow in to fill the canyon Now I'm building a ship out of matchsticks and glue and I'll sail this wide world over to get myself back to... Leaves fall down from maple trees into the stream in hopes of starting over / roads that long ago were tread by cart and hoof now sleep beneath the clay / bones beneath the meadow sigh as passerby bend down to pick the clover / and I'm sitting watching water fall as summer comes to take me far away Now I'm digging a tunnel with a spade and a soon and I'll dive to the bottom to get myself back into... And I can walk upon the water I cut a hole right through turn to face the frozen desert to see that polar view And I'm connecting all the pieces to make this body new this time it's all or nothing I want the whole of you In the name of science all of you In the name of science oooh oooh the name of silence oooh oooh The name of science...

Banjo Song 02:50
Woke from a bad dream wild heartbeat I thought I gave it all away. Passing moments death he stole them under the cover of our sleep. Hearts bleed white lies Golden alibis And what good is that to me? Oooh, love will know my name Oooh, truth will know my name Oooh, trust will know my name Oooh, love will know my... One golden sunrise, two heartbeats same lie Three ghosts are at my door Find awe in beauty and live what moves me until the memories turn to blood And hearts bleed white lies Golden alibis And what good is that to me? Oooh, love will know my name Oooh, truth will know my name Oooh, trust will know my name Oooh, love will know my name Oooh, truth will know my name Oooh, trust will know my name Oooh, love will know my …

Alley 04:51
Early is the mockingbird that calls to me from the shadow of the tree that falls upon my window screen. I am not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone. I am not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone. Old alarms and neighbor's yards filling up the morning our trampolines are carrying laughter through doors opening. I am not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone. I am not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone. Pass me my robe and I will walk the alley road home. Pass me my robe and I will walk the alley road home. Instruments among us shake the dust loose from above. Kettle tea from five-flavor-berries save me from unhealthy... I am not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone. I am not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone. Oh but so it goes, sometimes it rains grey tears in spring break away from all feathered lies that mistake me for someone of another kind. I'm not one to rewind it. Anyway another day comes. Moving on this chapter's done Pass me Pass me my Pass me my robe

Colibri 03:37
*Note: the English lyrics are Kelly's loose interpretation of Mathew's French lyrics, not a direct translation. Petit léon, dans la forêt Tes pieds marchent au soleil Et puis, ton pas écho Colibri, tu n'arrête pas // So I wait just to see Aller, venir, ici, la bas // you come walking Enfin, tu bois // my way L'eau de vie // The heart beats On danse la valse au dessus // Footsteps fall below the green Les arbres rouges dans la rue // red of tree whispering to me Et tous les phares // It's not too far Illuminent les arbres // to light the dark Avec nous, le bois bouge // I'm with you, the water moves Avec nous, les bois bougent // I'm with you, the water moves Le chemin des étoiles // Ships of night pass in flight Vous promenez sans bouger // I come alive Alors, vous marquez // Desire Les traces du monde // This time around On danse la valse au dessus // Footsteps fall below the green Les arbres rouges dans la rue // red of tree whispering to me. Et tous les phares // It's not too far Illuminent les arbres // to light the dark Avec nous, le bois bouge // I'm with you, the water moves Avec nous, les bois bougent // I'm with you, the water moves

Well leave. Darlin', leaves on a tree, they fall occasionally - Careless and utterly head over feet. That's me, darlin', that's me. But the morning light it's burns uninvited and all the time runs and weighted and wild like the memories swiftly divided and seemingly left behind. So what am I but a gullible girl who fell for the moon and away from the world and into the bed where I wanted to feel your skin. Where regret slipped it's way in. And anchored my new smarter self deep within the embarrassing stunts that we pull for the lusts that blinds us from us. So leave. Darlin', leaves on a tree, they fall occasionally - Broken and tired with gravity. That's me, darlin', that's me. But when the day comes that we meet once again, well I'd like to think that you're still my friend but I'll never forget the morning light. No I won't forget the morning light that burned like a bruise on the pale white skin of my sorry old self that night. So I want you to leave. Darlin', leaves on a tree, they fall occasionally with love so heavy the branch must release. That's me, darlin' that's me With love so heavy the branch must release.

Mystery 05:35
You're blowin' through my mind blowin' through my mind as a wind in the trees You come like a bird Come like a bird To roost on the palm of my tree And If I knew from where this wind came I might know your name If I knew from where this wind came I might know your name Wrapped in flowers Wrapped in flowers And such sunlight Your dive is soundless Your dive is soundless As a seedling comin' to light Won't you come into the light Won't you come into the And If I knew from where this wind came I might know your name If I knew from where this wind came I might know your name But you're a mystery to me You're a mystery to me Yea yea, you're a mystery to me The Dream unfolds And we won't know just where it goes The trail unfurls As the fiddle necks curl Beneath our feet And If I knew from where this wind came I might know your name If I knew from where this wind came I might know your name But you're a mystery to me You're a mystery to me Yea yea, you're a mystery to me

Space Escape 02:19
Darkness reigns today Shadow overtaking Wind shakes my breath away Devouring all the waking Darkness reigns today Shadow overtaking Wind shakes my breath away Devouring all the waking Darkness reigns today Shadow overtaking Wind shakes my breath away Devouring all the waking So do I hibernate? My space escape Or do I stay? Find light and retaliate Find light and retaliate.

Into the Sea 02:41
Took a walk into the sea through the waves, the wind beneath the shadows. All the fishes they swam with me, and danced with me, and led me down to the land of forgotten things. Lonely, lonely are the memories that are left behind, left to die in the deep Broken windows let the water in, it flows right in over skin and bone, bone and skin. into my blood... Took a walk into the sea through the waves, the wind beneath the shadows. Love me like I won't ever leave I'll never leave if you take my heart to the sea when you go.
