Just here my self waiting on my own Just here Ill stay Just here myself standing in your way Just here ill wait Someone take me Straight Ahead I got time drive me Anywhere Just here myself Just here Waiting on my own Waiting on my own Waiting on my own Just here for you Someone take me Straight Ahead I got time drive me Anywhere I dove in so quick I deserved to break my neck But I came away with a concussion and a 10 inch split on my head

The clouds arrive and cover over the breathing city floor Picks out every single hand One by one by one by one Im so alive Theres so much more And you tell me I won’t live Forever Cut me I’m clean Wash me I’ll bleed Cheers to the future I got all that I need One chance to gather all my strength and take me back to my old young self again The clouds pass by and reveal the city lights A new face, a new walk, a new shot at life A new face, a new walk, a new shot at life A new place a new place a new Cut me I’m clean Wash me I’ll bleed Cheers to the future I got all that I need I want to feel sun I want to feel light I want to taste everything you put into life I want to feel safe I want to feel at home I want to feel loved when Im on my own I want to feel sun I want to feel light A new face, a new walk, a new shot at life A new face, a new walk, a new shot at life

You gotta live in hope You gotta believe in anything, whole You gotta live and help yourself look forward You gotta leave with something more than this You gotta live with hope, time and joy You gotta live with self pride and worth You hold my innocence And put it in your world You carry away my innocence And put it in your world You carry away my hope My sun My timing And my goals And my blood is pumping and warm And my brain is shouting as something only can You hold my innocence And put it in your world You carry away my innocence And put it in your world You carry away my My whole life right in front of me You gotta hold you hope on something real You gotta hold you hope on something real You gotta hold you hope on something real You gotta hold you hope on something real

Occupy your attention with time It feels right It feels fine Now to focus on and direct your conscious on Reject any content that defines To find affirmation in an absurd meaning of life An excuse gives permission to lie Be quiet we don't want anything to find And nobody could have prepared you for this But nobody wanted you to miss out Recognise the same place, the same sound It feels good to be found I watch the catalyst of your hopes and doubts turn around I put off waiting for somebody else What I anticipated now I exceeded but not by myself And I feel like anybody else
5.
You need thought You need voice You need direction You need choice You need knowledge You need love You need now (All I need is right in front of me) You need flight You need ground You need drive You need sound You need silence You need life You need laughter You need courage You need growth You need compassion You need self You need I I need you I need this

Kosovo 02:20
No-one seen me for 48 hours Theres nothing for the dogs to smell Iv been walking this track for hours And the blisters are starting to swelt Are they waiting at home by the phone lines Does the community still hold its hope If I dont come home in the meantime It was a beautiful night for a walk No-ones spoken for 48 hours Drowned out by the sound they hear first Forecast is predicting more showers And the power stations have all been reversed Slow down Don't stay It's all changed Don't wait For me or anyone else For me or anyone else You where always alright on your own You where always alright on your own If I dont come home in the meantime It was a beautiful night on my own

Your happiness was a goldmine I thank you now for all you've done A gift worth more than you realised Extends further now into more life You never leave us Your questions will never become right The innocence lost from within The vision ahead appears so bright Then two cars collide in your headlights You'll never leave us here Not now Your always with us all Right now You'll never leave us here Not now Your always with the full moon light now Now Your always with us You'll never leave us Your always with the full moon light now

Hold them there Hold them close Square me up And hit me home Give me something to feel Give me something to win Give me something to feel Now hit me, hit me instead All your pride won't hide you All your strength won't hide you All your size won't hide you All your lies won't hide you And you dare show your wounds And you dare show your wounds Now you give me something to feel You give me something to win Now hit me hit me hit me instead And ill sort it out on my own And you dare show your wounds And you dare show your wounds Now you give me something to feel You give me something to win Now hit me hit me hit me instead Hold them there Hold them close Square me up And hit me home Give me something to feel Give me something to win Give me something to feel Now hit me, hit me instead

A perfect photo In the right light A quick announcement And news of life A foreign culture Welcomed home A forgotten breakthrough A brand new song And I would not miss this Not for anything And I would not miss this Not here, not now, not for anything And this is the most beautiful place Iv ever seen And this is the most beautiful place Ill ever be Make it count Make it count You make it count Just trying to make a connection with anyone who listens Im just trying to make a connection with anyone who listens Or maybe just with you Or maybe just with you Or maybe just with you Or maybe just with you Or maybe just with you Im trying to make a connection with anyone who listens And ill make it all for you Ill make it all for you

And its so close And its so near And its so quiet As its almost time Its the only thing I ever wanted The only thing I ever loved The only thing I ever needed The only time iv got And its here and its now and its free

about

Produced and mixed by Australian producer Mikey Young Cheers to the Future marks both a triumph of Young’s laconic approach to making records and a transformation in style for Zombeaches. Before, a celebrated live act. After, a band that found cohesion in the confines of studio and created a work that swallows you up in melody and story.

What’s most surprising about Cheers to the Future is that behind the dense walls of guitars and drums played beautifully loose and bravado and clashing sequences - is a collection of vocal performances turned down low telling stories of optimism.

And so over three days Zombeaches put together a record that feels seminal and poignant. A documentation by James Young of a year that had watched the foundations of his identity shake, regathered, grown and finally found his centre. And this sense of positivity can be heard all throughout the album. A haiku to those times in life where everything seems more simple, calm, and peaceful. Something, no doubt, we could all use right now.
