Music Is My Medicine When I’ve had enough, and I can’t go on And all the right oh it seems so wrong, oh I don’t give up, no I don’t give in I just turn that dial and start listening to my song My favourite song Cos music is my medicine I take a dose every day and let it chase my blues away Hey - hey, hey, - hey hey Yes music is my medicine Reggae, funk or rock n roll Country jazz or old time soul - oh oh oh oh – oh 0h oh oh When I’m feeling low and I can’t get up And the darkness oh it just fills my cup, oh I don’t give out, I don’t give in, I just lay on back, with my earphones in and I’m gone Really gone When the needle drops, oh the pain it stops, and the healing starts to flow Cos music is my medicine…… Clive Williams 2021

Livin’ It Up On Love Feast your eyes upon this world Realise what its worth Recognise the truth, that you're the living proof Don’t open up the door, blow off the roof! - And start … Livin’ in up, livin’ it up, livin’ it up on love Livin’ in up, livin’ it up, livin’ it up on love – Lo-o-o-ove. It’s what youre looking for Don’t give up do it, live your life The way you wanna do it – live your life Don’t give in to it live your life The way you dreamed it should be There’s a fortune at your feet (streets paved with gold) And everyone you meet (is warm not cold) Fate’s got your name, written in its book All you have to do, is take another look – and start … Livin’ in up, livin’ it up, livin’ it up on love Livin’ in up, livin’ it up, livin’ it up on love – Lo-o-o-ove. It’s what youre looking for Don’t give up do it………

Avatar 03:49
Avatar You’re not your body, you’re not your brain You only think you’re dancin’ in the rain You’re not a woman, he’s not your man There’s so much more in this master plan Avatar, Avatar, you drive your body like you drive your car Avatar, Avatar, oh can’t you see that’s what you are This earthly body, it’s just a suit It may look handsome it may look cute But there’s no limit to you and I As Jimi said “excuse me while I kiss the sky” Chorus We’re all just actors, in a play -rewriting our scenes every day It’s like ‘The Matrix’, a made-up world - A movie set into which we’re hurled An Avatar, an Avatar, A supernova superstar!

Spirit (Won’t Break My…) Can’t put a mask on my heart Or vaccinate my soul No, no heavy mob, could do the job, of taking inner control Of my soul, no, no They ain’t gonna break my spirit Nothing’s gonna stop, nothing’s gonna stop, Nothing’s gonna stop, stop me dancing No one’s gonna rob, no one’s gonna rob, rob the love from my heart They can take away my job, and try to steal my freedom But oh my God! they’ll never stop me believing To my soul, no, no Nothing’s gonna stop, nothing’s gonna stop, Nothing’s gonna stop, stop me dancing No one’s gonna rob, no one’s gonna rob, rob the love from my heart Won’t break my spirit! Not my spirit, my spirit, my spirit, my spirit Clive Williams 2021

A Mile In My Shoes Take a look, take a look at my life x 2 Hey Politician, can’t you see my problems I don’t see why there’s so many of them Its just so obvious from where I’m standing Why are my shoes so hard for you to stand in Hey Protester, can't you see my problems....... Got so much pain, trouble and strife, why won’t you stop messin up / my life… And walk a mile in my shoes, you’d understand my views Just walk a mile in my shoes And see why I choose what I choose Hey there woman, can’t you see my problems….. Hey now man, can’t you see my problems….. Chorus x 2

Fear 03:19
Fear There’s a virus going round – of epidemic proportions It’s causing unrest and social distortions It’s a plague – changing how we behave Yes Fear (Fear!)– its here Forget about the bugs – they’re small Compared to the panic – that’s got a hold of us all We’re losing control of our senses Giving up our only defences Yes Fear (Fear!) – it’s here No mask is gonna save us – because the hand they have played us…is Fear - Its Here The ultimate pandemic - a global epidemic Socially systemic – globally endemic Fear – its here The more we keep our distance, the weaker our resistance Its clear – Its fear

Human Touch 03:23
Human Touch To live this life, beneath a mask Is more than one should ever ask To never hold, kiss or embrace Is building us all a hellish place We need it oh we need it, we need it oh so much A world full of care and human touch We want it, yes, we want it, we want it oh so bad Cos life without love, will only drive you mad I want it – human touch A child is born, it takes a breath It knows no fear of life or death It feels the touch and knows the love Skin on skin, not hand in glove Chorus Clive Williams 2020

Meditation Is The New Rock n Roll Meditation is the new rock n roll It heals the body and it soothes the soul Opens your mind to a whole new show Takes you places that you just wouldn’t go Meditation - is the new rock n roll The new rock n roll No need for drugs or, alcohol All you need’s a little, self-control And you will fly, up above Full of joy and, perfect love Meditation is the new rock n roll It heals the body and it soothes the soul Opens your mind to a whole new show Takes you places that you never would go Meditation - is the new rock n roll No more just hippies and, Buddhist monks Are getting high on the, real funk Now everybody is now, out to prove You don’t need needles to get in the groove Clive Williams 2019

Love Or Fear 04:03
Love Or Fear With all the things I do and say, I try to ask myself each day These three things before I start, like all of us, to play my part Does it bring on a smile, or a tear Is the road ahead blocked or clear Will I do it for love, love or fear Oh, its so easy to pretend, that we’ve no choice, oh and to defend All the crazy things we do, but next time ask, I beg of you Does it bring on a smile, or a tear Is the road ahead blocked or clear Will you do it for love, love or fear Does it bring on a smile, or a tear Is the road ahead blocked or clear Will you do it for love, love or fear

about

Two years in the making, this album captures my feelings and thoughts about living in the world today. It deal with our relationships with each other as fellow humans, but also with ourselves and our higher selves. Musically it uses rhythm and rhyme and beat, harmony and melody to carry my words joyfully into your awareness.
This album is a collection of dance music based songs. I have called it 'Soul' as I feel that best describes its overall feel.
I have enjoyed immensely creating this and its companion album, 'The Awakening - Rock' and now hand it over to you, for your pleasure and engagement.
I hope its in some way lifts or inspires or informs you to like me awaken to the majestic fullness of our being.
Thank you for getting this far.
Clive
