II are the remaining members, Alex Band and Aaron Kamin, II is the title of the Album, II is the release of the Album.
Alex's voice is chilling and Aaron's guitar is planetary, the tracks are warm, mature, and romantic, there is a lot of intensity in the lyrics, in the application and execution, I would say simply fantastic. Another beloved cover, the MAN, the most extraordinary and complicated mechanical machine of living gears that amiably unites with a handshake under the symbolic winged and graceful protection.
"One By One" - a melodic, sunny opening a poem where love shapes the soul and body - "Our Lives" hot track, the sensual and seductive voice melts between two naked bodies embracing amidst whispers and deep exchanges - "Things Will Go My Way" light guitars and percussion introduce an explosive progression of liveliness and symptomatic desire to dream - "Chasing The Sun" very decisive and pressing, a lot of expressive romanticism surfaces, the dominant percussion and the electric guitar maneuver through the song of songs - "Believing" the voice becomes an iris at 360° where to abandon oneself means to let the soul, now faded, immerse in primary colors - "Anything" very beautiful, ample rhythm and the percussion are masterful as a delicious love to be meticulously preserved and consumed in small essential doses only on Dr. Strangelove's prescription - "If Only" gentle and calm track, silvery refrains, fleshy and dazzling voice - "Somebody Out There" the guitar carves a rough line, the voice fills this line traced on the skin like warm breath that penetrates the ear, making you shiver with pleasure whispering silent, exciting words - "Surrender" sparkling and enchanting, playful and innocent, a puff of wind - "Dreaming In Red" guitar and percussion skip like many children in a courtyard focusing on balancing on one leg in that unforgettable game called "world" - "Your Hope" the vocal parentheses of Aaron and the charismatic voice of Alex are the perfect concluding frame of this extraordinary picture.
A "transshipment" of purity and lovingly carnal desire, expressive healthy emotions, in short I would define this Album as an effervescent vitamin C aspirin for those moments in life when fatigue prevails.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Our Lives (03:54)
Is there love, tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Of a better life
In this world
Divided by fear
We've got to believe that
There's a reason we're here
Yeah, there's a reason we're here...
Oh, yeah...
Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...
See the truth, all around
Our faith can be broken
Our hands can be bound
But open our hearts
And fill up the emptiness
With nothing to stop us
Is it not worth the risk?
Yeah, is it not worth the risk?...
No, yeah...
Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...
And even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
Cause these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...
We can't go on
Thinking it's wrong to speak our minds
I've got to let out what's inside...
Is there love, tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Can we get it right?
Yeah, can we get it right?...
Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...
And even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
Cause these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...
Oh, yeah, let's make the best out of our lives...
Oh, yeah, let's make the best out of our lives...
06 Anything (04:05)
I will be there
Always waiting
Waiting for you
To let me inside
Where your fire burns
In a city of angels
Just like a river rushing straight into the sea
I'm the one thing meant for you and you for me
[CHORUS:]
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
And as you sleep
Eyes to the window
I'm watching you dream
Well are you dreaming of me?
So why can't you see
You're all that matters
You know if this earth should crack
I'll be your solid ground
I will be there to catch you when you fall down
[CHORUS]
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
I'd take the stars right out of the sky for you
I'd end the world give you the sun, the moon
For all of time, forever loving you
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
08 Somebody Out There (04:08)
Well the scene begins, a little girl is crying
And the light in the hallway is dim
And she sits right back, thinks of the reason
Why nothing will fall into place
She gets more and more curious with every day
More furious in every way
And she screams out loud,
Why's it happening to me
And the answer is It's meant to be...
[CHORUS:]
Well she's on her knees
And begging please
She wonders if there's somebody out there
To make things wrong
To make things right
It might be
That there's somebody out there
She moves amongst the crowd,
The people they walk by
She questions why they'll have to die
If it's part of our lives,
So beautiful and precious
She knows that she shouldn't be afraid
Of all this...
[CHORUS]
There's times that she hates you
There's times that she thanks you
And hope that you might understand
It gets hard down here
So many things to fear
But it's all just a sign that you're near...
[CHORUS]
09 Surrender (05:26)
So, here we are, all alone
As the wine makes you mine for the night
Soft is the way that you feel
And hard is the way that we breathe
In, out, we're moving
Around with the dirt on the floor
I know what I lack is devotion
And I can't fight this off anymore...
[CHORUS:]
We'll go surrender to the night
We won't look back at our lives
And when you sleep, I'll be there
To kiss your lips, to breathe your air
Right or wrong, it must go on
After this night, we'll leave it all behind
Two hearts beat as one
As I open my eyes
Well do you want me to keep going?
Cause I have already come all undone...
[CHORUS]
Now she's calling
And it hurts me to go
Away from my favourite addiction
There's no way that she'll ever know...
We'll go surrendering to our lives
When you sleep, I'll be there
To kiss your lips, to breathe your air
Right or wrong, it can't go on
After this night, we'll leave it all behind
But I'm still feeling
Drawn to you
In my dreams
So it seems
The man in me always
Gets his way
Never pays
For what he's done
I need you now love, love, love
I crave you now love, love, love
