It's one of those times that I can't seem to find the words or thoughts These hazy eyes, the perfect partner to my weary mind And it's not been a matter of days, in fact it's felt like an age since I last sat down or I saw a town that wasn't linked by shows And fatigue's soon ignored as your feet hit the board Or as the beat hits the floor, these are the moments we're living for The ones that constantly try to appease our 9-5s They're the ones that justify all the things that we forsake You are not your job and you are not the clothes you wear You are the words that leave your mouth so speak up, speak up loud For none of us want to sit in evaluations taking notes for hours We're all sick and tired of waiting. Let's set sail And fatigue's soon ignored as your feet hit the board Or as the beat hits the floor, these are the moments that we're living for The ones who constantly try, to appease our 9-5s They're the ones that justify, all the things that we forsake Why do we look to the tide when we find that our minds are getting stale Why does it bag me this place on the waves And are we looking for meaning from demeaning and soul destroying task we do all the time on the shore And as I picture you on the television Talking all the seller hook past all the people walking It's about then that I realize that you're the same as me So call me Ishmael, we are all striving for The thing that makes this grind worth surviving Be that our white whale or the one little moment Where our dreams still feel alive And as I picture you on the television Talking all the seller hook past all the people walking It's about then that I realise that you're the same as me So call me Ishmael, we are all striving for The thing that makes this grind worth surviving Be that our white whale or the one little moment Where our dreams still feel alive
I just watched Matilda, the original version on TV and at the end, Matilda starts reading Moby Dick. "Call me Ishmael" she reads. Tears! For so many reasons. My younger brother Rene loved this album sooooo much. Rest in peace Rene. You & your love of good music with meaning still lives on. Art unites us all.
Was asked when I was on boarding at my job if I had a preferred name, so I said... "Call me Ishmael". Didn't know there was a song out there, and a apt one at that.
I remember being at the O2 festival in London for the Daft Punk set, super pumped and you hit me on the back of the head because I was interrupting your view. I was by myself and you were sitting with about 4 or 5 friends. Hope you're proud of yourself.
Came along way from halfords 😁. Just heard you were playing leigh folk festival tonight, shame I heard late, would of been there. Continued success pal 👍
Perfect! I love this song! I've been listening to this song for 6 years now, every time I'm sad it makes me come alive and makes me want to get up and run again. Thank you, love you madly!
That first album of yours was absolutely groundbreaking I never heard anything like it in my life. So fresh and fun. I used to listen to it and drum along to it. Great to see you’re still making music !
