Paradise 03:56
Paradise Oi it's me I'm calling through a line directly to you and the distance that is between us it should stop because we are, two of those that should be together working at the same time using the same frame of mind and in my case that is fine when I'm talking to you I get a shiver up my spine we're like the sun and the moon fork and knife relaxing my friend because you know it will only be a short while Until we find.. Paradise this life on earth what we are given from our birth it's good, make it what you want it to be because you're feeling on top when you're moving on your feet (x2) And there's the Caribbeans ..speakin with their funny English Sayin 'yo Tobago it's the place to go You never gonna find a place so chilled and slow' Selling their jewelry at their store Minglin and dinglin from their ears to the floor with those girls Kirsty and Nicky looking on sideways saying come and stay tonight you know we just may oh guys well you know you are my new friends and I don't wanna leave cos I know that I've found Paradise life on earth what we are given from our birth it's good, make it what you want it to be because you're feeling on top when you're moving on your feet (x2) Dancing in the heat on this warm summers night on the beach round a fire acoustic guitar rustic amplifier yeah It will only be a short while (Solo sera un ratito) It will only be a short while (Pra que te quedes a gustito) It will only be a short while (Le le le) Until we find Paradise this life on earth what we are given from our birth it's good, make it what you want it to be because you're feeling on top when you're moving on your feet (x2)

Cazzibean 03:53
Cazzibean Hey, I saw a shade underneath a tree Looking high up into the golden blue sky It's shining down through the camphaloral leaves As I walk the Channon, I see the market people The vibrant colours And that's Tommee over there Playing maracas Feel as you move from side to side You feel the rhythm of the night Having a little drink at the beach and I’m feeling alright And I always feel so good when I see you I always feel so at home You make me feel at home And I know this will take us very far To see you dancing underneath the stars You know that you Don’t need to hold Onto who you think you are Break the chains That keep you bound Let's go dancing to this sound Sugar shake it shake it You know you won’t break it Look at me I’m feeling fine I’m chasing only colours lit up by the night sky It’s shining down on me I feel this old Old big old tree Growing from the garden How I cried when they chopped you down How I always feel so sad when I see the forest cut down and burnt to the ground and the sky isn't blue like it used to And I know this will take us very far To see you dancing underneath the stars You know that you Don’t need to hold Onto who you think you are Break the chains That keep you bound Let's go dancing to this sound

The Light 03:30
The Light Moving up from the ground to the sky to the sea Greens became greys Black and the whites Not so easy to see as We question who we are Earth springs life right from the start But we’ve got to meet Futures sons With presence bold Of righteous beliefs Dignities told Care for the truth You’ve got to have values of gold But constantly we see Only a hand before the breath But what is there to see If we aint got nothing left No I won’t be held to pay It is the children of today Who’ll live with the fate Of what’s to come And this world that’s always running I saw you bring the light Making a change ready to fight For a future that is whole Do what’s right within your soul As the earthquakes thunder And the waves suck us under I laugh (hahahaha) I’ve got my sunshine happy Accessorized gadgets in my pocket Don’t tell me no bad news Cos I’ve got a faulty fuse Burnt up it may be havoc Wreaked upon this little planet Chaotic meteor Like a comet I will soar To an end that’s bonafied I’m going to stay alive No I won’t be held to pay It is the children of today Who’ll live with the fate Of what’s to come And this world that’s always running I saw you bring the light Making a change ready to fight For a future that is whole Do what’s right within your soul Think twice before you Decide to damage something For the loss and sorrow It will be felt tomorrow x2 No I won’t be held to pay For it is the children of today Who’ll live with the fate Of what’s to come And this world that’s always running I saw you bring the light Making a change ready to fight For a future that is whole Do what’s right within your soul

Dynamo 03:50
Dynamo I can’t say that I am sure Of what, I am missing with you girl, This love, This love ain’t seen no good It’s seen the good It’s laying dead On the ground Well I can give so good When you walk my way Although, Though I can’t be so sure That I am the one To play your games I’d prefer to walk away And here we go Full on it seems And you, Without you near I guess I’ll wait By the phone For your call Your call Babado Babadey To you I’m a game Something to play A trophie to win Woah to you I’m a game Something to play Another Trophie to win You’re just another Dynamo And you Like a loveless soul You’re out of control Like some dynamo That never quite explodes Ready to steal the show Here I’m hanging low Though you will never Let me know And here we go Full on it seems And you, Without you near I guess I’ll wait By the phone For your call Your call Babado Babadey To you I’m a game Something to play A trophie to win Woah to you I’m a game Something to play Another Trophie to win You’re just another Dynamo

Talk of Love 04:06
Talk of Love Well I’m not scared to fall Though with it comes the pain And it’s that of which I am afraid I feel the ease to wear My heart upon my sleeve Jasmine was uncaring She wanted more than me And whilst I worked Into the night Jasmine became Mans delight To my surprise Waiting to find The love I can’t deny To receive in all the wonder Not escape the love devine In my time Whats this talk of love And are you really true to that? For you could be a trap door Waiting for a latch You know that I don’t want to trip And find that I can’t get up Held only by the visions of you above Be down, deep, damp in love For what is love? Over time I see the waves get higher Thicker than before Old habits break So much harder They’re slower to escape And more hurtful as they fall Waiting to find The love I can’t deny To receive in all the wonder Not escape the love devine In my time Whats this talk of love And are you really true to that? For you could be a trap door Waiting for a latch You know that I don’t want to trip And find that I can’t get up Held only by the visions of you above Be down, deep, damp in love Feeling lonesome but I know it’s good I’ll be patient waiting here for you Whilst in limbo fill myself with love For I’m a child here sent from up above Sent from up above sent from up above

Dream Sailor 03:40
Dream Sailor I dreamed I was a wise sailor Sailing across the world to find The other me I saw him and I called out the window ‘Can you help me find my dream?’ ‘Courage’ he said ‘Well it’s all you need.. just run and jump! There’s a love for you indeed, There is a love for you indeed, There’s nothing you can’t do’ Then sailing into my mind.. ‘Oh Jesse, I see you are living in me, you have got to trust me you can be, living in this world doing what you love’ ‘But can we change? Like really can we change? I haven’t got time for these things! I’ve got to be living a good life That I’ve got the right to live. I always feel like everybody’s Putting me under pressure to live Some kind of life that they want me to live I ain’t got money Just a smile to give’ ‘Then speak with me to my heart and I will, part for you the sea take my hand, walk with me, walk with me’ ‘Well I don’t know, if I can grow the perfect way of no insanity alone I can’t live I can’t hide I can’t eat I can’t sleep I can’t know, I feel I’m changing into something And I can’t believe I’m blowing in the wind’ ‘Yes these changes are blowing, In the air that we all breathe I can throw you a line Be the sign of an angel But life comes once You’ve got to jump to Catch your dream… For only the courageous Ever find their dream’

about

6 track EP 'Dynamo' explodes with passion and ingenuity. Evolving from years of performing in Australia, Brazil and Europe, the EP crosses a wide range of genres such as Roots, Reggae, Latin, Island Music, Folk and Rock.

It is rich and earthy, subtle yet punchy. A distinctly Australian sound, combining blazing horns, latin guitar, ukeleles and tight percussion. Lyrically exploring the joy of the journey, the chance to dream and the confront of love lost, it is a snapshot of all these things that are Jesse Witney.
