No one knows Passengers vanish Life is that short You never know what Last sight will be Searching, searching waters Searching, don't give up searching -- Repeats in Turkish

Five A.M. Summer heat Magic strikes Hearing a song Staring eyes Listening Go and fall On the high Across the sea Orca stands My flower heart Changing it's hue Hold my breath Passing by Free and calm Saying, "Hi!" Rimless sea on High tide now Sailing, blazing sun Find my freedom Shadows gone Moonlight, endless space Free fall into Future whole Wondrous, Earth and sea Find my freedom Shadows gone Moonlight, endless space Eternity This is it Place within Matching the scene Love burns out All my pain Sacred space Where I am Free fall into Future whole Wondrous, Earth and sea Find my freedom Shadows gone Moonlight, endless space

Place called, here and now Self is alive, dream is on Light of secret, pulsations Dancing here now My journey is on Took my chance To golden climb - Garden Love Space time, here and now Future past void, obsolete Decisions thoughts, based in fear Maybe in love Desires disguised Take a chance To golden climb - Garden Love Here Now All we have Love Star Giant Red Real Peace Armor goes Here now Know yourself...

Super State 05:49
Sail, timeless Through the islands and stars High mountains Shadow of Jah, calling Journey to, loving home Come from afar Find my peace Super State Nature grand Twelve men are strong For the win Welcome to my Super State Where I recuperate Good weather and the food is great Got the sockeye salmon I don't want your New York steak Got the best jamming and we're smoking on the super dank The stuff that's grown on the west of the Cascade mountains The desert in the east and the islands west We just trying to live in peace Guns and violence is a mess When I turned five we moved from Minneapolis So here's where my heart grew The rain and the clouds yea That's nothing to argue 'Cause Cali got a drought and Florida's getting flooded So here I'll live it out from the valley that is Sudden Right by the lake living good in my home In my Super Sate Home sweet, lush green In our love, Super State

Riky - why’d you have to part early ? And leave us Tricky - was the way that you ran on - with the world Crazy - was the love that you knew of - as a child Black Tar - burns on silver tin foil - kill the pain Fare Thee Well You will stay - in our hearts Peace, so long - can’t let you go Ace of Hearts Slide Off the Chart Prince of - Tiger Mountain the big wild - on the high Soaring - angels lift you on love wings - you can fly Rockin’ - through the fog the haze - form the beat Grateful - for the time we had here - meet again Fare Thee Well You will stay - in our hearts Peace, so long - can’t let you go Ace of Hearts Slide Off the Chart

about

The debut album from Celestial Navigation was recorded in a log cabin nestled in the woods of the North Cascade foothills. Somel's compositions blend elements of jazz, rock, classical, reggae, and avant-garde. All the sounds are organic, mainly acoustic. Piano, Upright Bass, and Drums were recorded live. Featuring passionate violin solos, elaborate time changes, complex harmony and existential lyrics; the music transports the listener to another time and place.
