Today 03:00
It’s all about today Gotta get these clouds away You can’t always be afraid Gotta paint a different picture what you really wanna do Is start aiming for the truth And stop looking for excuses When you really gotta get up The minimum is in your heart start reaching for much higher then the pinnacle Solidify your inner body Gotta make it through the day to really be somebody. Ain’t no way you gonna let them tell you what to do gotta walk right on your lane and create something new Every step you take is printed on this lonely path and who even knows how long it’s really gonna last Jump in the rhythm Take it from the beginning Gotta want to be winning If your lost just forget it Someday you’ll get there Just for once start believing You can not keep advancing If your stuck in your feelings You gotta face yourself to really see yourself evolve And it might take a little courage if you wanna know You can’t escape you gotta take it, make it to the end And there’s no space for you to fake no you cannot pretend. It’s all about today Gotta get these clouds away You can’t always be afraid Gotta paint a different picture what you really wanna do Is start aiming for the truth And stop looking for excuses When you really gotta get up There’s no place to hide away Gotta finish up the book so you can turn another page so many reasons to not stay But it’s maybe now you’ll find out what it means to really change. Only you can make it right You can turn this upside down won’t be long ’til you step out Enjoy the sun while it’s still out Running running running running through the different functions all the breaths that you be taking just to figure something out life is boring if you always gotta see things coming just sit down relax your back and watch your dream becoming The minimum is in your heart start reaching for much higher then the pinnacle Solidify your inner body Gotta make it through the day to really be somebody. It’s all about today Gotta get these clouds away You can’t always be afraid Gotta paint a different picture what you really wanna do Is start aiming for the truth And stop looking for excuses When you really gotta get up

You are the sun to me Am I too far for you to see You are the sun to me Am I too far for you to see Cause every time you’re knocking at my door I Wish that I could make this life just slow down I really wanna get to know you right now ‘Cause anytime I think you make my mind shine. You are the sun to me Am I too far for you to see You are the sun to me Am I too far for you to see Take a ride out on this feeling It’s the right time we can be free We can bike down to the wheat fields And just lie down feel the wind breeze I’ve never felt so comfortable Next to you I can’t move I don’t want to go I’ll blow a cloud where we can sleep Find a spot to meet in peace Won’t change my mind don’t think I’m blind It’s just your light is in my eyes You are the sun to me Am I too far for you to see You are the sun to me Am I too far for you to see ‘Cause your touch is must like the warmest shower on a walk to the park we can go for hours You’re the summer to me and I want you to see how sweet like a peach a true lover can be We could go out on a boat and just cross lake Let our fingers feel the water and then stop to gaze at The mountains in the background are higher then us but the way I make you smile is more than enough. Cause every time you’re knocking at my door I Wish that I could make this life just slow down I really wanna get to know you right now ‘Cause anytime I think you make my mind shine. You are the sun to me Am I too far for you to see You are the sun to me Am I too far for you to see

Dice Rolled 02:42
Let’s make an album in one night I got my brain loaded And trying to make everything right right now’s my main focus I got it all figured out don’t let it slip away ‘Cause by the end of this line I might just miss the phrase Drift for days, leave the bills and forget to pay ‘Cause our thoughts are getting smelly with the shit they say Hey haven’t you checked your heart lately who’s knocking at your door when you don’t want anybody around What’s the true cost of ageing being proud of yourself just ‘cause you lost some weight, Great But who cares but your mother about your problems And who’s really there when you want them. Is your cat loyal just ‘cause he’s stuck in your apartment started planting some seeds ‘cause you thought you’d have a garden But nothing went the way you planned Oh yes sometimes it’s hard to be a man I made a beat in a second now I’m just saying something I want some weed but I know it won’t take the pain away Just waiting for some kind of dream to come save the day I gotta pave my way I hate to play this game I made a beat in a second now I’m just saying something I want some weed but I know it won’t take the pain away Just waiting for some kind of dream to come save the day I gotta pave my way I hate to play this game Dice rolled who knows where your chance goes When life’s cold drink some hot chocolate it might warm you up they say that time knows how to heal your scars. Why does this line gotta rhyme with the other ‘Cause morning toast just feels sad with no butter wait, no offence to vegans though I’m just trynna share my feelings yo. Who wants to teach you a lesson? The one who dreams he can get there He’s got a ticket for the show but he’s not sure he can make it Maybe he sees what the rest fear he really needs to be left here looks like being mixed up is what’s keeping his Head clear My verse sounds like a chorus my chorus sounds like a verse It’s ‘cause I write upside down and go around like the earth. was I really talking about myself in the third person? Didn’t your voice sound weird the time you first heard it? I made a beat in a second now I’m just saying something I want some weed but I know it won’t take the pain away Just waiting for some kind of dream to come save the day I gotta pave my way I hate to play this game I made a beat in a second now I’m just saying something I want some weed but I know it won’t take the pain away Just waiting for some kind of dream to come save the day I gotta pave my way I hate to play this game

Feelings 03:34
All of these problems you can’t solve you look at the world like a damned cause Wishing somehow you could get lost but this looks more like a stand off. Better watch out what you ask for might just come through the back door hard to follow the pace here one more step in the matrix “Fate what you make it”, easy to say when you’re living your life yo Give me a reason, I want to believe there’s something I might know under the ceiling deep in the sea where i’ve sunken these feelings freedom for me is the little achievements, I find hope. like the rain only ’til it soaks you stand the pain only ‘cause it goes want some time but you have no patience Hard to get what you’re looking for Got you thinking what the funk Got you thinking it’s not fair Got you eating all this junk got to leave but no one cares All of these problems you can’t solve you look at the world like a damned cause Wishing somehow you could get lost but this looks more like a stand off. Better watch out what you ask for might just come through the back door hard to follow the pace here one more step in the matrix Feelings I don’t really think you wanna deal with Might be time to get up and admit it You be doing it just for the business can’t we all relate to these Feelings I don’t really think you wanna deal with Might be time to get up and admit it You be doing it just for the business can’t we all relate to this First of all you get know yourself Then you climb over all these fences Got to focus on just certain steps for a while Life’s a bet, gotta guess First of all you get know yourself Then you climb over all these fences Got to focus on just certain steps for a while Life’s a bet, gotta guess The world is your witness What’s on your wish list? Cannot resist it Take out the bills pay Who’d you think you’re playing with? you simply got no way in this Don’t let them ever see your cards They gave you those you’re playing with What? All of these problems you can’t solve you look at the world like a damned cause Wishing somehow you could get lost but this looks more like a stand off. Better watch out what you ask for might just come through the back door hard to follow the pace here one more step in the matrix Feelings I don’t really think you wanna deal with Might be time to get up and admit it You be doing it just for the business can’t we all relate to these Feelings I don’t really think you wanna deal with Might be time to get up and admit it You be doing it just for the business can’t we all relate to this

Listen 02:36
Listen I could tell you things that you really don’t wanna hear But I’d rather stay chill ‘cause I had a long day And I won’t be the one to make your fear disappear You got yourself for that so you can go look in the mirror And I won’t be the one to rhyme every line perfect but I see the right signs ‘cause my vision is worth it Listen Now I’m just trynna do the right thing You’d be surprised the change of atmosphere my mood just might bring My mind swings up and down the cliff I see the ground approaching Now see me rise up to the clouds i’ve never been so focused But like a story I can easily be ended So every little piece of time I make sure that I spend it the luggage is only getting heavier As I walk up this hill Got my spirit looking everywhere For something to build Enough with torn down castles it’s like my life is a beach when I just can’t stand, burning sand on my feet and late at night I understand all my demons I’d rather cool down if this hell is between us I used to want to be the deepest Now I know my weakness Hogging the microphone at every party every weekend A certain harmony in silence was just all I needed From all these friends to all these enemies I greeted, Some fools taught me lessons Some wise ones fed me fast food philosophies I don’t do hypocrisy Have you heard me properly? Am I the anomaly in your system full of standards and procedures “You call me stupid ‘cause I don’t accept your needle but I’m just lucid and I can detect your evil” I guess we’re even And as the day turns into evening light reflects on all my feelings The darkness helps me think there’s nothing bad to it just woke up from a dream and I’m just glad you here. Now just let me do my thing I can make you move my way Open up my door for you, open up my door for you yeah Now just let me do my thing I can make you move my way Open up my door for you, open up my door for you yeah

about

Soundchecks In Heaven is a project entirely written and produced by Imagine.
Imagine, known as part of the group Captains of the Imagination, has been making beats for
about 2 years now, sampling and digging songs from all around the world and different eras.
After recording more than 110 solo songs over his own beats, he decided to take the very best
ones, which has become this 5-track EP. In this piece of work he lets his vulnerability speak,
talks about his view of our current society, asks himself existential questions and also sings of
love in a more simple and sunny way.
