Another Day 03:31

I’m not you I’m not me I’m empty as the space In the cosmic sea I looked online But I couldn’t really find The space between The lines of reality Or a reflection of The man I used to be But I’m doing fine Yeah I’m Ok Watching my thoughts Go drifting by Floating like clouds In the clear blue sky Nothing to be No reasons why Just another day I’m not here I’m not there I’m lighter than The darkest despair When demons grin I’ll welcome them in Won’t believe the lies They’ve come to bear Or let them know I don’t really care Cause I’m doing fine Yeah I’m OK Watching my thoughts Go drifting by Floating like clouds In the clear blue sky Nothing to be No reasons why Just another day Mm mm mmmm Mmmm mm mmmm Mm mm mmmm Cause I’m doing fine Yeah I’m OK Watching my thoughts Go drifting by Floating like clouds In the clear blue sky Nothing to be No reasons why Just another day Watching my thoughts Go drifting by Floating like clouds In the clear blue sky Nothing to be No reasons why Just another day My place in reality Just another day My place in reality Just another day

Still Believe 03:10

If your life seems like You’re living in a dream And you think your thoughts Are what it means to be Tethered on a merry go round Your dignity’s unfurled Trying to find sacred ground In this ever changing world If you find That it all comes down To the love that we give for free Will you still believe When the thoughts in your head Seem like who you really are Floating on a dream But you don’t know where to start Arising in the emptiness A constant picture show Thoughts of hope Thoughts of war Thoughts you can’t control If you find That it all comes down To the love that we give for free If you find That it all comes down To the life that we choose to lead Will you still believe Will you still believe What if there’s no fault Are we sitting ducks Do we punish the losers Do we praise good luck We praise good luck Good Luck If your life seems like You’re living in a dream And you think your thoughts Are what it means to be Tethered on a merry go round Your dignity’s unfurled Trying to find sacred ground In this ever changing world If you find That it all comes down To the love that we give for free If you find That it all comes down To the life that we choose to lead If you find That it all comes down To who we want to be Will you still believe Will you still believe

Can't Wait For A Savior 03:05

Is there any wonder There’s shadows lurking from down under Is there any wonder We lost the holy grail I got a feeling That something needs revealing I got a feeling That we’re underneath the veil I hear the thunder Don’t know what the reason is We’re breaking down in stereo We may never pass this way again We can’t wait for a savior Is there any wonder That money’s just a lonely number Is there any wonder There’s never enough I’ve got a feeling The future we are stealing Will raise one day To call us on our bluff I hear the thunder Don’t know what the reason is We’re breaking down in stereo We may never pass this way again We can’t wait for a savior Can’t wait for a savior Why don’t we worry About nuclear thunder Why do we worry As the climate slowly fails I’ve got a feeling That something needs revealing I’ve got a feeling That we’re underneath the veil I hear the thunder Don’t know what the reason is We’re breaking down in stereo We may never pass this way again I hear the thunder Don’t know what the reason is We’re breaking down in stereo We may never pass this way again We can’t wait for a savior Can’t wait for a savior Can’t wait for a savior

I’m on fire My senses burn like a funeral pyre Wakes my mind Old stories from my trauma times Just a child in the land of fear Shine your light on me Wake me up from the Munchian scream Love will set me free Daring to face the demon’s dream Psilocybin See a sign A broken crib from infanticide Letting go Turning shadows into rays of gold As the walls just disappear Shine your light on me Waking up from the Munchian scream Love will set me free Daring to face the demon’s dream Psilocybin Waiting in the blackness, counting every breath The things I can’t face, are sometimes worse than death I’m turning and running and burning and willing to die, Learning to fly Shine your light on me Wake me up from the Munchian scream Love will set me free Daring to face the demon’s dream Shine your light on me Wake me up from the Munchian scream Love will set me free Daring to face the demon’s dream Psilocybin Psilocybin

Sailing on a broken dream Losing faith in history Hard to know what’s real these days Hard to say that I’m ok Fear can break your heart in two Don’t let the poison Flow like a river Flow like a river Now nah Into your heart Don’t let the poison Flow like a river Flow like a river Now nah Into your heart Into your heart Into your heart I used to think that I was smart Didn’t have to play my part Thought I stood on solid ground Now my world is crashing down Doubt will steal your life from you Don’t let the poison Flow like a river Flow like a river Now nah Into your heart Don’t let the poison Flow like a river Flow like a river Now nah Into your heart Into your heart Into your heart Gonna let it all flow away Empty my mind Give it to fate I’ll leave it all up to you Flow like a river Flowing on through Let your love come shining through Don’t let the poison Flow like a river Flow like a river Now nah Into your heart Don’t let the poison Flow like a river Flow like a river Now nah Into your heart into your heart Into your heart Into your heart Into your heart Into your heart Into your heart Into your heart Yeah yeah yeah yeah Into your heart

Come All You Dreamers 03:21

Mind games tripping My thoughts repressed Holding my cards Tight to my chest Shaking like a leaf When things don’t go my way They’ve got four I’ve got three He’s got a plan That will set us free I’ve heard everything These hucksters got to say Come all you dreamers Stranded in the night Ascend from the shadows And claim your birthright And give love love love love love To the people in your life Blackbird singing Beneath a scarlet moon World cries out It’s siren’s tune I’m standing at the doorway Trying to get in Seen the path to The emerald dawn Break these chains Of right and wrong Take back this life That was never theirs to give Come all you dreamers Stranded in the night Ascend from the shadows And claim your birthright And give love love love love love To the people in your life Won’t be a circle Just growing old Reviving dead spaces Do what I’m told I won’t be a hater Living in fear Walking on eggshells Year after year I won’t be your sinner I won’t be your dog I won’t fear the reaper Cause I’m gone gone gone gone gone Come all you dreamers Stranded in the night Ascend from the shadows And claim your birthright And give love love love love love To the people And give love love love love love To the people And give love love love love love To the people in your life

Hold On To The Tears 03:35

I’m a dark shadow You’re my dark knight Together we are bound To rage against the night I’m a diamond boy With a fractured memory You’re my golden girl That’s come to set me free Hold on to the tears And let love reign Time and time again We can meet the pain There’s blood in the water We can make it anyway Hold on to the tears And let love reign When I was young man I held my troubles inside ‘fraid to show my sorrow I was sure I’d surely die That was a long time Before I married you I’ve learned to see the sunshine And let the blood go running through Hold on to the tears And let love reign Time and time again We can meet the pain There’s blood in the water We can make it anyway Hold on to the tears And let love reign Across the water, Across the water where the wind blows free I’ll meet you there Beyond the storm clouds Beyond the storm where we can breathe I’ll take you there I’ll take you there Hold on to the tears And let love reign Time and time again We can meet the pain There’s blood in the water We can make it anyway Hold on to the tears And let love reign Time and time again We can meet the pain There’s blood in the water We can make it anyway Hold on to the tears And let love reign Hold on to the tears And let love reign Hold on to the tears And let love reign

Give It Away 03:39
lyrics

It’s a shame how we lose our sight Howl at the moon in the dead of night Looking for a hand to bite, to feel OK It’s a shame how we always need more Eager for a plan to even up the score What are we looking for, it’s hard to say We got it all if we stop the fight Give up the need to always be right We got it all if we take our light and give it away Give it away It’s a shame how we carry on Searching for a reason our love is gone Looking for what went wrong, to feel so sane It's a game of push and pull Hiding all the scars we can’t control Afraid of letting go, to feel our pain We got it all if we stop the fight Give up the need to always be right We got it all if we take our light and give it away Give it away There’s a place where I can go In my mind and in my soul To seek the path that I once lost To give my life at any cost Ah, ah, ahh Ah, ah, ahh Ah ah Ah, ah, ahh Ah, ah, ahh Ah ah We got it all if we stop the fight Give up the need to always be right We got it all if we take our light and give it away We got it all if we join our hands Claim the ground on which we stand We got it all if we take our love and give it away Give it away Give it away

Will You, Won't You 03:11

There’s no time like the present To see what we have learned Years are just illusions That will never return We can laugh at our hubris Think that time is on our side But if we believe in forever It’ll take us for a ride Will you, Won’t you Won’t you join the dance Instead of standing in the pouring rain, just hangin on Will you, Won’t you Come give life a chance Cause there’s no chance to fine ourselves When we’re gone, when we’re gone There’s a light in the darkness Beneath the Raven’s call She said don’t take life for granted Cause the writings on the wall There is no bigger meaning Then the love that we grow These moments are so precious So let the future go Will you, Won’t you Won’t you join the dance Instead of standing in the pouring rain, just hangin on Will you, Won’t you Come give life a chance Cause there’s no chance to fine ourselves When we’re gone, when we’re gone In this life together To see us through the fall Let’s go out walking in the rain honey Bare feet, bare foot and all Will you, Won’t you Won’t you join the dance Instead of standing in the pouring rain, just hangin on Will you, Won’t you Come give life a chance Cause there’s no chance to fine ourselves When we’re gone, when we’re gone Yeah there’s no chance to fine ourselves When we’re gone, when we’re gone

There’s one thing I know is true Your love is all that I need No strings attached or due This love I give is free When the world is coming undone You shine like the sun And hope is all that I feel On your birthday Another turn of the wheel This life that you’ve given to me Awakes me from my delusions Falling in love with you You’re my rose for every season When the world is coming undone You shine like the sun And hope is all that I feel On your birthday Another turn of the wheel For you are my life, my star above A scared gift, a gift of love Calling out like a shot in the dark From the depths of my soul Together we flow Together we flow on There’s one thing I know is true Your love is all that I need No strings attached or due This love I give is free When the world is coming undone You shine like the sun And hope is all that I feel It's your birthday Another turn of the wheel Another turn of the wheel

about

Singer-songwriter Forrest Hill finds himself on familiar yet uncharted terrain with his sixth solo album, Beyond The Veil. After the success of his previous release, Living On The Edge Of Time, Hill returns with a new collection of tracks that delves deeper into existential questions while expanding his sonic palette into new psychedelic folk-rock territories.

The songs on the album craft a musical journey that begins with detachment and alienation, gradually moving through confrontation with personal demons and environmental concerns before discovering redemption through love and present awareness. "Beyond The Veil is my examination of what it means to be human—from moments of alienation and uncertainty about the future to profound spiritual awakening and connection," states Hill.

Beyond The Veil marks Hill's third collaboration with acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist J. Christopher Thomas, whose partnership began in 2020. Together, they've expanded Hill's sound to incorporate modern psychedelic elements that nod to The Shins and The War On Drugs, while maintaining the folk-rock foundation that has defined his post-hiatus career.

"The collaboration with J. Christopher Thomas has been instrumental in bringing new dimensions to these songs," Hill notes. "We've pushed into territory that feels both fresh and authentic to where I am as an artist right now."
