Oh-woh-oh-oh Oh-woh-oh-oh Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I never planned, to be alone Forever searching for people unknown Take me away, from my mind Or they’ll be waiting to take us down the line, and I Ohh, wonder where the love is going Ohh, free me while you can You see me slowly drowning Your last words still resounding And you always gave your love away And that’s all, they say Our dreams subsumed, by the tide They left a chasm that’s eight miles wide So old flames burn, hopes recede You know I’ll follow wherever you lead, still I Ohh, wonder where the love is going Ohh, free me while you can You see me slowly drowning Your last words still resounding And you always gave your love away And that’s all, they say I’m alive to your pain, feels like the ocean drives us down I’m consumed by flame, under this mask lies a frown You see me slowly drowning Your last words still resounding And you always gave your love away And that’s all, they say You see me slowly drowning Your last words are still surrounding me And you always gave your love away And that’s all, they say

Live Your Life 04:34

Take me by the hand and you’ll never see the bad in my reason See my come alive and you'll get the other side of the treason Keep it all in mind and you’ll burn inside, what’s the meaning? Get there in the end and you’ll save your friend, it’s a feeling Live you life today-o There’s no other way-o On your sha-na-na-na-knees and pray-o Now I will never lose hope I’ll stay-o As the others knew they would rather soon be few, they were eager Watch the river flow, see the faces come and go of believers See the sun rise how it lights your eyes, you’re a dreamer That’s the kinda guy who will get so high, you’re a leader....leader Live you life today-o (You gotta fire me up, you never hold me down) There’s no other way-o (Forget the ones you left behind) On your sha-na-na-na-knees and pray-o (Keep fighting for what you’re here for) Now I will never lose hope I’ll stay-o What did you do to deserve this? I never said a word at the right time, oh When will I see some emotion, mm? When will I turn this life of mine? What did you do to deserve this? (How can you talk about love?) I never said a word at the right time, oh (There’s something up above) When will I see some emotion, mm? (How can you talk about love?) When will I turn this life of mine? (There’s something up above) Fade in time.... Put your doubts to one side, take the setbacks in your stride, keep a-movin’ If you start to fall, just make sure you stand up tall, you’re improving Understand that fear keeps you’re mind clear when you’re losing Wonder what went wrong but you knew all along, you were using....using Live you life today-o (You gotta fire me up, you never hold me down) There’s no other way-o (Forget the ones you left behind) On your sha-na-na-na-knees and pray-o (Keep fighting for what you’re here for) Now I will never lose hope I’ll stay-o (I’ll move heaven and earth, if I can prove my worth, to feel hope in my heart once more)

Redemption 04:15
lyrics

Well you talk about redemption On a sea in a fire of gold How you never thought that time would pass you by So you open up your heart girl Cast your head up to the sky See the whole truth of light and love Reflected in your soul And wondering if all along Your trials were to create you strong That’s how you keep going on To prove you’re right To save your name, and To die in the light Never let go ’Til your heart stops and you’re below Well the fall of man came early If he ever fell at all By the wayside was the pride he stole from you So you walk on through the motions While you wander what is lost Then the time comes to move on But nothing’s what it seems Cause’ everything was so serene, with fields green You’ve waited so long That’s why you keep going on To prove you’re right To save your name, and To die in the light Never let go ’Til your heart stops and you’re below I won’t forget you You said ‘remember’….it’s been forever I won’t forget you You said ‘remember’….it’s been forever Stoned lover, take your heart away Burn it like bridges to your shame To endure ’til you fall To shoulder the blame, and To break down the wall Never let go To prove you’re right To save your name, and To die in the light Never let go To endure ’til you fall To shoulder the blame, and To break down the wall Never let go ’Til your heart stops and you’re below

Overflow 04:27

Everywhere Your words fall silent The night quietly draws near Where is home now? Under the stars My fingers slide across your scars… If you are ready, come and pull me steady It’s all I want If you are ready, come and pull me steady I never did tell you lover How could you know? You’re telling me, I don’t agree With you walking out the door Drift away To shores unknowin’ The time is right, you’re overflowin’ Permeate The glowing fires Emancipate your deep desires… If you are ready, come and pull me steady It’s all I want (You want me baby to love you) If you are ready, come and pull me steady I never did tell you lover How could you know? You’re telling me, I don’t agree With you walking out the door I left, I left my lover So far behind Oh Lord it’s true Is there, is there another? That I may find Might it be you? Let’s start a new heaven, we needn’t fight a war Everyday If it’s over, if it’s over Won’t see me til the otherside Let’s start a new heaven, we need a little more In every way If it’s over, if it’s over You won’t see me… If you are ready, come and pull me steady It’s all I want (You want me baby to love you) If you are ready, come and pull me steady I never did tell you lover How could you know? You’re telling me, I don’t agree With you walking out the door

about

'Volume I' is the first collection of singles released by Pilgrims' Dream; it also includes previously unreleased track 'Overflow'. This music was written at a time when Ouseley, a former Marine, was suffering from chronic illness and unable to sing. He created the tracks as instrumentals using production software, and when recovered added the vocals.

Influenced by bands such as Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver, Ouseley created an ‘incredibly harmonious’ (Indie Pop-Ups) sound that ‘really pops in all the right ways’ (Ear To The Ground Music). It has seen him reach the finals of the American Songwriting Awards, and received international radio airplay. These self-produced singles have gained over 100,000 streams on Spotify as well as featuring in the Alexrainbird YouTube compilations which have had millions of views. ‘Redemption’ also saw Pilgrims’ Dream named Richer Unsigned’s ‘Artist Of The Week’ calling him ‘definitely one to watch’ and lauding his ‘unique blend of harmonically rich music’.
