Love'n'Joy - Bender on the Silk Road

by Love'n'Joy

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Iconic debut album released on a CD for the first time!

    Taking influence from the golden age of 60s and 70s, british pop and trippy psychedelia, Love’n’Joy’s music perceive to be the journey of "tribal collective unconsciousness".
    But they also put an element of hard rock – with Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin among their influences – and plenty of guitars, which lend a rougher edge. Their work reflects the spirit of a new, resurgent ukrainian rock music.

    Travelling across Europe and the UK to collect donations for their donation campaign „Musicians Defend Ukraine”.

Come About 05:25
Come About (lyrics) Hook come about, say it loud, come about Verse 1 Underneath the glow of the milky way Where the crimson sun kisses verge of a day Hollow wind keeping sweeping ridge of dune And a tumbleweed prays for rain to the moon Verse 2 Across the boundless sea of the barren gold holding rope of hope loony bunch drifts slow every forward step distance rise from the side on the burning heat there is no place to hide PreChorus shadows swing in circle dance feet get drowned in shifting sands looming all around fooling soul with doubt desert laughing loud will you come about .. come about .. come about? Chorus1 Loose coming all of a Fuzz spreads under my feet Ease rising when I almost lost my beat Truce pulling up dusty curtains Peace ties my will and my fate Breeze comes alone from a garden when in my mind I hear you say "Caravan must lead its way" Hook come about, say it loud, come about Verse 3 Underneath the glow of the milky way holding rope of hope loony bunch went astray Across the nameless sea on to where, and why Bird of prayer is alway high on the sigh PreChorus2 shadows swing in circle dance feet get drowned in shifting sands looming all around fooling soul with doubt desert laughing loud will you come about .. come about .. come about? Chorus2 Loose coming all of a Fuzz spreads under my feet Ease rising when I almost lost my beat Truce pulling up dusty curtains Peace ties my will and my fate Breeze comes alone from a garden when in my mind I hear you say "Caravan must lead its way" Loose Fuzz Ease Truce Peace Breeze in my mind in my mind in my mind I hear

Blitz 04:45
Blitz (lyrics) Verse 1 My well considered My well considered blitzkrieg has failed My flaming arrows Burned out and ashes covered my name In a light of morning On my way to your ivory tower top You dropped me down but atleast I've got - You are made from hot flesh and blood Hook 1 Take a second start Find another way But don’t give up on a riddle Take a second start Find another day I'll catch the wave of revival Verse 2 My head still swirling As you sent me back to square one But I keep learning I took a hundred trips around the sun My scars they shine bright Lighting up the map of my winding road When others dropped out I still row Row for myself and for my Bro Hook 2 I'm on a second start Getting on a way I won't get stuck in the middle I'm on a second start Closer to the day To catch the wave of revival Chorus 1 My aim is true and the time is near the skies are blue now I see it clear The day is new and the day is wright I hear it rising with a tide Been up and down high and low No place for fear any more Verse 3 My well considered My well considered blitzkrieg has failed My flaming arrows Burned out and ashes covered my name In a light of morning I'll climb your Ivory Tower top I'll pass the trap and I'll get that drop of your hot flesh and blood Hook 3 I'm on a second start Getting on a way I won't get stuck in the middle I'm on a second start Closer to the day To catch the wave of revival Chorus 3 My aim is true and the time is near Skies are blue now I see it clear The day is new and the day is wright I hear it rising with a tide Been up and down high and low No place for fear any more Been up and down high and low No place for fear any more Been up and down high and low No place for fear any more Been up and down high and low No place for fear any more

Brut 04:29
Brut (lyrics) Hook 1 Shoot him down, shoot em down Verse 1 Here comes a King 'Sleaze', carrying old disease To the town where you're born to the town where you breathe He talks a big win he wants you join in, And all the junkies lined up for his dose of gasoline I'm not gonna listen to your fairy tales of the past I'm not gonna listen to you blaming all on the west I'm not gonna seek around for your glory day I'm gonna test my dance out on green grass over your grave Hook 2 Shoot him down, shoot em down Verse 2 Here comes that Dick - tator, burned his home later Now he’s there in your yard he wants to see what you've got With all his scary toys, he leaves your brother no choice While all the monkeys on there kneel befor his black Rolls-royce I'm not gonna listen to your fairy tales of the past I'm not gonna listen to you blaming all on the west I'm not gonna seek around for your glory day I'm gonna test my dance out on a green grass over your grave Bridge (Call his mama to take him home, little boy seems so alone) Jingo boy knocks at your door Jingo boy comes with a sore Jingo boy knocks at your door Jingo boy comes with the war Verse 3 My heart is moaning with the southern wind My mind is groaning they let him in My heart is drowning on the black sea hole My soul is crawling for the tribal call

Raving Referee (lyrics) Yeah! Right! Yeah! Right! Yeah! Right! Yeah! Right! Verse 1 Each time I turn on my TV i get this disappointing feeling Like everything that I can see just a part of dirty double-dealing Old lies from the government fat faces from the parliament just try to make more money and act as if its funny yeah Verse 2 Ech time you try to analyse they flood your head with advertising I hope it's not a news for you mean fukers wanna just to hypnotize you Ordinary person in the street can't satisfy his basic need they try to knock him of his feet It's so hard to make ends meet Chorus 1 There is nothing we can change or we don't want? We are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall There is nothing we can change or we don't want? Hope we are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall Verse 3 Each time I turn on my TV I wish that you and me can hear em squealing Let everyone can watch them run like a pigs from a gun man I mean it Ordinary person in the street can't satisfy his basic need They try to knock him of his feet It's so hard to make ends meet Chorus 2 There is nothing we can change or we don't want ? we are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall There is nothing we can change or we don't want? Hope we are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall There is nothing we can change or we don't want ? We are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall There is nothing we can change or we don't want? Hope we are not like those empty dolls that are still propping up the wall

Verse 3 Man or an animal Man or an animal Hide deep in the dark You never know You'll never know Before you try your luck Man or an animal Who will be relevant While deep in the dark You never know You'll never know Before you try your luck Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ...

Starry Night 05:06
Starry Night (lyrics) Verse 1 Girl, can you hear the words of spell? ringing like a crystal bell wind's getting mild swing like a child On the waves of midnight air leave your shell for pillow's care Silver moondile calls for a mile .. Chorus 1 ..Up high Above the city light Up high under the star-lit sky ... far from concrete maze away from blinding haze ... right to the splendor of night Verse 2 Girl, dream is yours but words are mine For you I've found a perfect rhyme Island of light, queen of the night Strike the dark with diamond eyes Send us deep in lullaby wind's getting wild swing like a child .. Chorus2 ..Up High Above the city light Up high under the star-lit sky far from concred maze across the limpid grace Up High Above the warning line Up high Lets catch a satellite Fill it with a tender sound and pont it to the ground right to the old part of town where love can’t be found in the sight of a dawn Chorus 3 ..Up High Above the city light Up high under the star-lit sky far from concred maze across the limpid grace Up High Above the warning line Up high under the star-lit sky On the lucid soar will open up the door right to the newborn dawn And the first ray of sun will remind me you’re gone..

Stolen Pearl 04:02
Stolen Pearl (lyrics) Verse 1 All, all the places you know And all those spaces you wish to go They can't compare with the one It lies beneath the blue skies Lies and shines in your eyes Out from the sea Chorus 1 la la la la la la la la la la la la Stolen pearl is on my mind Verse 2 All, all your goals and awards And all your golden rewards They can't compare with the One (can't compare with the one) that lies beneath the blue skies Lights you up in the night One day you'll see Chorus 2 Paint the portal on my bedroom door Spill the black sea on my kitchen floor Colors changing and the time goes by Stolen pearl still on my mind Paint the portal on my bedroom door Spill the Black Sea on my kitchen floor Days go round days go by Stolen pearl still on my mind Mine Mine

about

“THREE MEN UNITED BY A DEEP LOVE FOR THE CLASSIC 60S SOUND, PSYCHEDELIA, BRITISH POP, A SENSE OF OPTIMISM AND POSITIVITY, THAT’S UKRAINIAN BAND LOVE’N’JOY. TAPPING INTO WHAT THEY PERCEIVE TO BE THE JOURNEY OF "TRIBAL
COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUSNESS" SOUNDTRACKED BY THE RETRO GENRE, THE GROUP HAVE RECENTLY STARTED TO SPREAD THEIR WINGS OUTSIDE THE EASTERN EUROPEAN NATION TO TOUR IN SWITZERLAND, FRANCE, POLAND, GERMANY, AND FURTHER AFIELD.”
-DROWNED IN SOUND

“COME ABOUT IS LIKE AN EXPERTLY PACKED SUITCASE THOUGH; THERE’S SO MUCH GOING IN, BUT IT ALL MANAGES TO FIT AFTER YOU SIT ON IT. IT’S THE DESSERT YOU WEREN’T EXPECTING AT THE RESTAURANT, THE EXTRA QUID FOUND IN YOUR JACKET, ALL THAT.”
-FOR THE LOVE OF BANDS

“THEIR MUSIC HAS A DREAMY QUALITY, AND HARKS BACK TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF 60S AND 70S BRITISH POP AND TRIPPY
PSYCHEDELICA. BUT THERE’S AN ELEMENT OF HARD ROCK TOO – THEY COUNT JIMI HENDRIX AND LED ZEPPELIN AMONG THEIR
INFLUENCES – AND PLENTY OF GUITARS, WHICH LEND A ROUGHER EDGE; AS THEY THEMSELVES SAY, THEY WANT TO “EXPRESS THE SPIRIT OF A NEW, RESURGENT UKRAINIAN ROCK MUSIC.”
- EUROPAVOX

"ANTON PUSHKAR, ANDRII SUKHARIEV, AND SERGEY ZLOBIN ARE THREE UKRANIANS MAD FOR BRIT-POP AND 60S
PSYCHEDELIA. HEAVEN KNOWS HOW THEY MANAGE SUCH CONVINCINGLY ENGLISH-SOUNDING VOCALS, BUT THIS IS VERY
IMPRESSIVE”
-2XS ROCKS
