Seldomo Lush Instrumentation and carefully crafted lyricism pushes this album into uncharted territory for King Mulhacen. Glad to say I shared a stage with this group while they were just a DUO. Hope they stay making records for some time to come. Favorite track: Wanted.

Slowly, show me Wasted, waiting America, wake up We’re forging our past to come back to us Come back to us Come back to us Slowly, show me Wasted, waiting Where are you going to? What have I done to get away from you? America, wake up We’re forging our past to come back to us. Come back to us Come back to us I was only waiting on some sign I was only waiting on life to intercede And it leads me Slowly, show me Wasted, waiting America, wake up We’re forging our past to come back to us Come back to us Come back to us I was only waiting on some sign I was only waiting on life to intercede

Well I was born long ago I was young, but way too old Playing games with sticks and stones Yet it was words that broke my bones Went away to the north of Spain Sought redemption in a pouring rain Found the strength to fill the cracks A way forward, no looking back New Orleans here I am I am boy, and I am a man New Orleans take me in For I know I’m bound here again

Wanted 06:03
You’re hard on yourself But that doesn't make you faulted any less In corners and cells Ideas will hold you hostage in your head And they’re callin’ You’re a wanted man No trial no bail They’ll throw you away and consummate your guilt Perpetual hell And there’s no escape from what you’re feeling now And it’s callin’ You’re a wanted, Wanted Man And they’re calling you back To that sound And you can’t take it back No you can’t You’re hard on yourself But that doesn’t make you faulted any less In corners and cells Ideas will hold you hostage in your head And they’re calling you back

Lost in a daze Waiting for Any change I’ve been waiting, waiting long and longer I’ve been waiting Holes on a page Words untold They won’t stay I’ve been waiting Waiting long and longer I’ve been waiting Leave me to my pain Let the rain Wash away And so, I hope For a better way One where I can afford To feel something more Please don’t let me go Please don’t let me go Please don’t let me go On unknown

Sleepless 04:58
Lay down your arms, kid It’s an open page And I can pretend that I’m in Still I can’t see no way You say it will pass, Simmer down, relax Let's just be And how, How long til I fall In love, but not undone? Spring now looms ahead Like an ocean wave The storm clouds descend on my head And I can’t get no sleep It’s raining hard But I know it’s all in my mind Fear now gives way To an all out rage It’s shattered glass, I’m thrashin’ around now But I can’t get no release All the cold is taking it’s toll on me Could I be wrong? How could I be? And how, How long til I fall In love but not undone?

Carol 05:01
Yesterday I got a ticket Parked in my own driveway The ticket read sir, You don’t deserve all the treats And the treasures You’ve had in your day So I dug them up And wrapped them around my eyes It turns out the gold That we were all told to find is actually family That we left behind Carol, Carol, Carol! Won’t you be fine Carol, Carol, Carol, Carol Cancer can’t kill the divine Struggling with the day no more Struggling with the day no more Struggling with the day no more Struggling with the day no more Struggling with the day no more Struggling with the day no more Struggling with the day no more Struggling with the day no more Yesterday I got a ticket, I parked in my own driveway

Thought I saw you today Your hair always glimmered And how you wore a smiling face Though the lights had got dimmer Some nights I wake to questions Was it more than I could take To walk away? So I wander back to your embrace Your world wreathed in color And all those words I couldn't say Now collapsing and smothered Some nights I wake to questions Was it more than I could take To walk away? Cuz you’re the raft I’m floating on But as the tide rolls forth I see the sun Why should I atone For the wave I broke from? Thought I saw you today A mirage in that summer

Come back home Find your own Come back soon Come back do You never call me anymore And after all these years I hardly know you It doesn’t do me any good To think on all those times I held you close Carried you home, Made sure you felt Safe and warm Light the way Get here safe Light a flame Light won’t fade And if I tried to talk it out Would you acknowledge me or walk away If I hadn’t been so cross Would you think better on this broken home With a white picket fence Warm summer air That gave you all Come back home Call me son Come this way Come to stay

Lilac Girl 03:15
And though words are weak to explain Here’s this song that I thought I should play I’ve been waiting my whole life To see her face Love was fire that night on the escape Oh my, oh me, lilac girl You put color to the light in my world Sometimes I wonder How she feels when she’s alone And I want to be there wherever her life goes At every broken road I’ll be here to carry you home How happy I’ll always be To know that after all She chose me Oh my, oh me, lilac girl You put color to the light in my world

Fading Away 07:23
I’m fading away I’m fading away I’m fading away from a place I must leave I’m fading away So it seems Some days are the same Others pass, as a dream The faces and names are erased, suddenly I look for the glow of a sun Shining down Its light summer rays shift my gaze Homeward bound Reflections of a world that has blown over A wind yet fills the sails on my mast And so I stand here feeling that much older Four years I’ve spent assembling this ships cast The years they pass The years they pass Love will hold you through a sleepless night Love will sail for open seas Love will fly unchained across the plains One love stays, another leaves Slowly, show me Slowly, show me Slowly, show me Slowly, show me
