1.	I Got The Satellite 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Everybody's looking for the sun, locked inside of the tower like a maiden With a million shekels in her hand she gazes out through the eyes of a stranger Wonders when the hero's gonna come , somewhere out of a smile from tommorow Travelling thru the emptiness of space, she lives in hope there's the dream that'll follow.. I got the satellite and constellations go to my head, I roll thru the dark for just a moment of light with you You're such an open heart I feel it but i don't understand, caught in the wireless of my cerebral mind like glue ..and Danie's standing here saying there's no love in her world, wanting a sky that there is never the time to view and the people go on and on thru stories of their lives Yeh the people go on and on and on tonight , but its hard to be strong when you're caught in the barrel of a gun that won't let them run.. but you let them run.... I got the satellite and conversations go to my head, I roll thru the dark for just a moment of light with you You're such an open heart I feel it but i don't understand, caught in the wireless of my cerebral mind like glue
2.	There You Are 02:50	lyrics	buy track
I can't see the light That big old sun shines into a car There You Are.... Alone once again I need someone to swing on like a star There You Are... I scented the night when i was a boy the moment the actress came.. Hung up like a dress fumbled in the dark, whispering out her name.. Morning stained in a room of toys that were broken... Saturdays love is sundays' drowned I stumble out the bar There You Are....
3.	Velvet Dream 04:03	lyrics	buy track
All american endless street The 4th of July See the people dance in the heat as you go by in the blink of an eye The strangeness of everyone Out here at the show All smiling and then they're gone but you'll never know whats happening below as they come & go Yeh yeh yeh yeh With the tourists behind you & your home light to guide you Now you gotta free that velvet dream & do it, do it, do it, do it With the winter nights fading & the summertime waking You just wanna be where love could be & do it, do it, do it, do it See the dust that blows the news from yesterday All the stores are closed & the people've gone away Feel the sun that burns the distance in your eyes It's good to be alone there's freedom in the skies Oh my precious girl I loved you like a child Along these empty streets all my feelings running wild Won't you dance with me ? I'll be your valentine & this can be our home A dream that's yours & mine

5.	I Wish I Could Say I Love You 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Your love is like a dream i knew Your love is like a calling I wrapped it up in all i am to help me when i'm falling And i'm well out of sight but i've been to the light I WISH I COULD SAY I LOVE YOU JUST LET IT FLOW OUT AND TOUCH YOU AND NOT BE AFRAID ABOUT YOU....TONIGHT You smiled at me when i was down I made it last a highway I walked it through the crowd outside but lost it on the runway... And i'm scared of the flight and i'm scared that you might I WISH I COULD SAY I LOVE YOU JUST LET IT FLOW OUT AND TOUCH YOU AND NOT BE AFRAID ABOUT YOU....TONIGHT Everybodies got the world in motion Gotta try to make it to the ocean If i ever thought we'd be i'd turn it around now I'd turn it around now And i'm well out of sight but i've been to the light I WISH I COULD SAY I LOVE YOU JUST LET IT FLOW OUT AND TOUCH YOU AND NOT BE AFRAID ABOUT YOU....TONIGHT Everybodies got the world in motion Gotta try to make it to the ocean If i ever thought we'd be i'd turn it around now I'd turn it around now
6.	Love & Joy 04:14	lyrics	buy track
I'll sing a song of love and joy through the blues those avenues of a heart that's not been round Out of sight -in the night Out of touch -It's all too much But when it comes to loving you i'm a fool still at school I just give myself away with every look -an open book and every gush - as i blush Every clown falling down Every song i put on.... Talking away through the tears for your hopeless man who's got you in the can He's pawning off your world I'm biggin' you up like a child at a divas door You've heard it all before All the better things you ignore But i don't mind 'cos i love you the way you are and see you like a star Feels colder when you're gone I got a plan -it's a genuine honest way I'll tell you about someday Or maybe i won't say at all Orbitting the sun we make our way through it Or to put it another way we're travelling through everyday in dances So how could i do it down ? The moment i wake up might not be too pretty Head full of muddy dreams hung on some memory that's haunting till i feel the sun come round again.. then you're there, we're here with love and joy Aiming for the stars like a leaf blowing Some day we're gonna be ash in the cemetery -I know it There's always been one way out Moving right along we got to keep going around like a satellite Here then we're out of sight , its over but you know that we'll be found again then you're there, we're here with love and joy
7.	All The Way To My Love 02:09	lyrics	buy track
All the stars in the sky look down from my window Painted on the night All the way to my love Can never be sure if she will be waiting Or fading out of sight All the Way To My LOve Here in the morning sun Blue eyes come out of the light Here where it all begun Blue eyes can play on a smile Blue eyes will stay for a while The fear when its gone The fear of it breaking Aching inside All the way to my love
8.	Springtime 02:23	lyrics	buy track
My love walks and the colours of the sky run clear through the pages of the rain and tears to your shadow eyes that made it here Weekend flies in the devil-light of late night shows Celebration for the Genes and Jo's The smell of factory and the scent of rose Springtime life Another world we knew Happy days in the middle of the whirling street Everybody wants to get back home Everybody wants to feel complete She's so fine and i love everything i dreamed was hers Tried to find it in 1000 girls The reflection on a sea of pearls Springtime life Another world we knew
9.	Clouds 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Just like this earth seems my world keeps turning Different moods spinning round and round The sky is blue then the clouds start forming and i fall like rain back to the ground My growing's much like the seasons changing I flourish out when the weathers right Then shrink like leaves when the winter's calling Just waiting for the warm spring light And sometimes i can feel so high I'm flying like an arrow to the sun and some days that's but a memory Guess the whole of my life is never won.. Thoughts run wild like the wind that's blowing Some soft and warm as a summer breeze The air then turns and my mind starts flowing to thoughts so cold that they could freeze.. And sometimes i can feel so high I'm flying like an arrow to the sun and some days that's but a memory Guess the whole of my life is never won..

11.	In My Former Lives 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Loved you in my former lives as long as i can remember Loved you when i was Joan of Arc as i watched the dying embers Loved you as i climbed the scaffold, finished my time as Ruth Ellis Loved you when i was Romeo & i clambered up the trellis In My Former Lives Loved you as the great Omaya, down below the waves rolled in Walking out upon the wire, i saw your face again In My Former Lives Loved you in Casablanca even though i was only Sam & i loved you again in Harlem, waiting for the man..
12.	In Montreal 02:51	lyrics	buy track
I'm touching down in Montreal Montreal is not my destination I’m looking for some peace of mind A little love, a little recreation A little love, a little recreation A little recreation Part business - part pleasure I'm looking for whatever I can find but nothing lasts forever & there is always something left behind There is always something left behind Life is so unkind A taste of cold, cold ashes on my tongue My place is in the sun Not chasing after shadows This race is run, let’s find a place for fun Take care of number one And face up to what matters What really matters Longing for liaison Ready for romance I hope you understand There is always something left behind There is always something left behind But I always keep an open mind I'm the hoping kind And Montreal is waiting for me After all those places I’ve been Montreal’s been waiting all this time I may be late but that's all right ‘Cause I believe She is waiting And I just need to meet her yeah–yeah – yeah
13.	How Could I Fall In Love (With You ) ? 03:38	lyrics	buy track
How could i fall in love How could i fall in love How could i fall in love with you? Our love will be for all time There'll never be another girl I wish that the sun would shine Wish it was a simple world How could i fall in love How could i fall in love How could i fall in love with you? Say the same prayer inside Put it on the face of love A smile from your distant heart Hold you when the seas are rough How could i fall in love How could i fall in love How could i fall in love with you? A castaway the moment i met you And all my songs were sung I gave away myself when i tripped on your acid tongue How could i fall in love How could i fall in love How could i fall in love with you?

about

A compilation of various tracks i've recorded over the years that i still love -but for various reasons havn't made it onto any of my albums before.. 13 Velvet Dreams....The oldest "In My Former Lives" recorded in 1998 & the youngest "Velvet Dream" recorded in 2017...Click on the song titles for stories on each track..All songs written by Steve Ison except "In Montreal" (Music Steve Ison/Lyrics Alistair Sutherland ) & "In My Former Lives (Words/music Steve Ison & John Wragg)..All performances Steve Ison except "Springtime (Trumpet by Liz Ralls) & "In My Former Lives (Reverb lead guitar Harper Stephens)...Thanx to Tom Livemore for doing an excellent mastering job & Colette Degiovanni for her beautiful cover design...

"I am simply loving this album. I cannot for the life of me get these songs out of my head. As I am writing now, I am listening to it for the 5th time. Every single song is simply a knock-out. Too good guy! I hope you are not looking for sales of your past work as the measure of success in this crazy age of free music circulating online. You have made it, man! The true mark of success is putting together artistic creations of this calibre—super original, singable, listenable, fun, catchy. And then to have fun doing it, it doesn’t get better than that!"
