Much too much going on here You can't recall How it feels the first time before you fall Can't you recall how it feels before you fall I want to be a part of you, but I can't Much too much going on here I can't even tell Nothing for some or something for nobody else Can't you try and tell what it is - a game, a tired conquest

May Day 03:49
I'd rather be a monkey Climbing up the trees With no worries in my head But on which banana I will feed I'd rather be a giraffe And hang out with the little clouds Then the city will not bother me No matter how big or no matter how loud Rise up to the sky and meet/greet the sun Wait around for the moon to swoon I'd rather be a wolf Hikikomori? Hikikomori. But I think I'd go quite mad With no friends to watch the show I'd rather be a turtle With my home right there on my back Win the race anyway Even though I'm really quite the slack Rise up to the sky and meet/greet the sun Wait around for the moon to swoon I'd rather be a human Like the ones that lived back when I miss my mother nature I'd die to see her again I'd die

Calvaire 02:34
Hey! Make a sound if you hear me.. Your senses are lost? Unify and come back again! Because nothing ever changes, except you And change is overdue You know no-one's quite as eager for you to push that button It'll all come crashing down Level it with the ground Maybe then, you'll be able to tell the lie from the lie

IT 02:36
Lay your head on this pillow made of sand And feast your eyes on the glory of the skies Because everyone's there, and you - you're on another side What's the difference? Isn't that it? Water's flowing to end up where it once began Start all over, thought an artifact Animal saviors; deny yourself to yourself, what's that? Is there a difference? Isn't that it?

ABC 02:57
Don't you know, don’t you know, it's so easy to lie? But didn't anybody tell you, the truth's got nowhere left to hide. How low can you sink? How high must you be? Before it all goes click, and you realize.. There's no need for worry Everything you want is right here There's no need for anything Just reach out your arms and see

about

'Today Is Tomorrow' is a mistranslation of the name of an Amazonian shaman with a pyramid-shaped head whose name could also mean 'The End of Time'. It is an imaginary band crafted by sole member Adham Zidan (The Invisible Hands, Procession Towards The Unknown) to flesh out arrangements to his songs.

Recorded in two decrepit homes across Cairo with minimal equipment, 'What's To Want' is the soundtrack to a battle between escapism and elevation. Musically influenced by the timeless melodies of the great European composers, the rhythm of Tropicalia, and the song-forms of that moment before psych turned to prog, it is an alchemical suite where the city is vacated of all its inhabitants and filled with the quiet air of the forest at dawn.

Recommended if you like: Syd Barrett, Brian Eno, Broadcast, Chico Buarque, Mike Oldfield.
