If I could crawl into the shadow Into the shadow I would crawl If I could follow in their footsteps Take a look over the wall If I could get inside this feeling I might just be able to understand Bad water, sweet survival Seem to be coming hand in hand Free Fall Free Fall But something keeps pushing me higher Maybe I’m mad Cooler smarter gotta be All reason gone Must get over this energy Across the world tonight we’re Going down To where the fires keep burning Where the fires keep burning Down, down ... Red blood is rising in the distance Burns a hole into the day There's not enough to feed the hungry But just enough to feed the flame Free Fall Free Fall But something keeps pushing me higher Maybe I’m mad Cooler smarter gotta be All reason gone Must get over this energy Across the world tonight we’re Going down To where the fires keep burning where the fires keep burning Down, down ... Where the fires keep burning Going down Down, down ... Going down Down, down Going down Where the fires keep burning

I’ve been thinking about the future I feel its coming on just fine With a deeper understanding Not just a state of mind But they keep telling me The end is near But I don't feel it in my bones Just as long as you’re here And the sun is in the sky A new tomorrow All this talk about religion No one's making any sense Why don’t they talk about The deeper meaning Instead of sitting on the fence So don’t tell me 'bout The end of everything I don’t feel it in my bones Just as long as you’re here And the sun is in the sky A new tomorrow A new tomorrow But if you come to me and tell me That its really gonna be alright I will believe you Cos I feel it in my heart And deep in my soul Deep in my soul Deep in my soul Before my life It had no meaning My soul was crying out for help But now everything’s just falling into place You can see it for yourself So don’t tell me I’m on my own here Cos I don’t feel it in my bones Just as long as you’re here And the sun is in the sky A new tomorrow A new tomorrow

Don’t be sad Don’t be blue Your time is coming Real soon Listen close to your heart Listen close to your heart When it rains you feel like crying Because up here theres no tomorrow Only now And time is standing still for you Your gold is trusting in the moment Don’t think bad don’t think back Cos you don’t have to keep it in Just leave the pain in the past Just push it over Roll it away When it rains you feel like crying Because up here there's no tomorrow Only now And time is standing still for you Your gold is trusting in the moment Beautiful colours Of light surround me As far as the eye can see Love is reflected in the sunlight of your world Can you see the weather Don’t be sad don’t be blue Your time is coming real soon Listen close to your heart Listen close to your heart Listen close to your heart To your heart Listen close to your heart

One silver thread Floating in the breeze Everywhere I go Wander long with me Night and day Bend and sway Like a tree One silver thread Taken by the wind I tend to stray in the same fashion Mile upon mile I can pin your stride like a twin Do do do ... One silver thread One silver thread One silver thread One silver thread One silver thread Drifting cross the sea The moon was tangerine This is not a dream Part of you Part of me Evermore Far as I see Silver thread Silver thread You and me yeah you and me Silver thread One silver thread One silver thread Taken by the wind Floating in the breeze One silver thread Floating in the breeze

Take lesson from the gardener Keep it safe within your heart Well its no secret We could lose it If we don’t know where to start The earth below is the sky above And the signs are there to see Your green fingers making the world a better place Green fingers giving back what we have taken away Walking deep into the forest Breathe in deep the love of life Hold the image just for a moment and move ahead a hundred years The sea below Is the sky above And the signs are there to see Your green fingers making the world a better place Green fingers giving back what we have taken away Taken away Taken away Taken away Fire the beacons on the hilltop Send it out into the night When the power is rising And the love is growing Move from darkness into light The earth below is the sky above And the truth is plain to see Your green fingers making the world a better place Green fingers giving back what we have taken away

Well no one said it would be easy That everything would work out down the line We said we’d build a better future this time Far away the smoke’s still rising As they drive into the wire Close my eyes and pray A time will come when we will see An end to all hostility There will be peace If we can trust The light the shines in all of us Far away the sun is rising giving life another day Close my eyes and pray A time will come when we will see An end to all hostility There will be peace If we can trust The light the shines in all of us There will be peace And we will trust The light the shines in all of us in all of us in all of us End the suffering Find the cause No more killing Useless wars End the hatred Find a way So we can fix things Save the day A time will come when we will see An end to all hostility There will be peace If we can trust The light the shines in all of us A time will come when we will see An end to all hostility There will be peace If we can trust The light the shines in all of us

Let me show you round One pretty town Cobbled streets an all A summer festival Maybe we’ll take a drive Into the countryside Heady forest Look left now Look right - the view is beautiful We duck and dive - between the green With wooden field Seen unseen Sacred places - Famous face So hazy under A blue blue sky I remember I remember Blue blue sky song of summer song of winter Blue blue sky Why river Wye Do you run red when it rains then blue like a blue blue sky Blue like the sky Blue like the sky Blue like the sky Blue like the sky As a dream I see Monnow Street The morning sun could blind someone maybe you and me At a small cafe where people sit and search With a clock thats late through the iron gate of St Mary’s church A castle wall the wishing well an even bell supernatural Time and space one smiling face So hazy - lazy Blue blue sky I remember, I remember Blue blue sky song of summer song of winter Blue blue sky Why river Wye Do you run red when it's raining then blue like a blue blue sky Blue like the sky Blue like the sky - Magical Blue like the sky Blue like the sky One pretty town Blue like the sky Blue like the sky Blue like the sky - Magical Blue like the sky (repeat) Like blue blue sky

Indigo Moon 04:31
Theres a beautiful glow on the horizon Rising up to meet the sky Stirring my imagination Still the breeze to justify Indigo moon Wash over me Paint me the colour of your heart Indigo moon Confide in me Show me the secrets of your night See angels dancing on the water Coming through to meet your gaze Waking up high inspiration Things that vanish in the haze Indigo moon Wash over me Paint me the colour of your heart Indigo moon Confide in me Show me the secrets of your night

As the day flows into night you can remember Looking deep enough inside you'll remember Use the feeling make it last for all time Its so easy, just go with it be calm, be still Flow Straight to the heart Close your eyes and be at peace you will remember In the cool tranquility you'll remember Use the feeling make it last for all time It's so easy just go with it be calm, be still Flow Straight to the heart Flow Straight to the heart Use the feeling make it last for all time Making ripples on the waters of peace and love Flow Straight to the heart just go with it Straight to the heart just go with it Straight to the heart Straight to the heart

In so many ways I’ve understood But it's so wonderful The way you believe in love Let it shine Within this heart of mine In life As a dream Nothings really as it seems We rise and we fall into the beauty of it all The sun will rise to feed another day Cos love is here and love is here to stay All these thoughts of mine were running free I was losing control of reality But your Faith Let it shine Within this heart of mine In life As a dream Nothings really as it seems We rise and we fall into the beauty of it all The sun will rise to feed another day Cos love is here and love is here to stay Close down the visual Shut down the memory Hear the people talking small Give it your best shot Give it everything you’ve got Cos the time is now And the heart is open Now this sheet of ice between us Shatters into miracles of calm So we can fly to the moon Within this heart of mine In life As a dream Nothings really as it seems We rise and we fall into the beauty of it all The sun will rise to feed another day Cos love is here and love will find a way

I believe in everything I believe in everyone And I believe that everyday We can make a difference I believe in the future I believe in life I believe in honesty And I believe in love I believe In you I believe in me And I still believe in miracles and the spirit of the free I believe in human I believe in hope and I believe there's one way We can save it for our children.

about

From colour, through words and music, to the innerlife

“Beautiful energy! …has all the qualities of a great ESP album!” – Pierre Prog – ProgCritique – FULL Review in English - esp-project.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/innerlife-1.pdf

"Fabulous album ... Tremendous piece of work" - Garry Foster - Prog Rock Files - WCR FM - www.wcrfm.com/shows/garryfoster/

Video Promo - youtu.be/qkVLdbznMJc

The first project written and conceived by Tony Lowe for the ESP Project was a multi sensory, multi media concept influenced by the colour spectrum, including visuals, music and lyrics and the use of corresponding scents. All in all, creating a complete sensory experience in three areas, with a 13 song soundtrack by Tony Lowe and Alison Fleming.

Imagine a place where a world of music, colour and scent combine, surrounding and engaging you, the audience, in a glorious tri-sensory experience. Each composition is influenced by the colours in the visible spectrum corresponding with a mood experienced when listening to the songs as they flow through different musical styles; including rock, pop, acoustic and orchestral. Most people are aware of the influence of colour on our moods and emotions, the subjective power of a particular image, and the manner in which music can move us deeply. Combining these with a sense of smell produces a powerful sensory experience. An experience of this unique event will positively change perception of our world.

A sold out live show of the album was performed once for the Action Aid Charity by Tony and Alison with a full band including Vari-Lites for the colour changes, in London in 2008. There was a limited edition CD at the time and we now have the ability to create the right kind of visual presentation, so we’re re-issuing an updated version of the soundtrack.

Full length videos to go with the songs and music will be available on YouTube in 2023.
