“Charged with Pop sensibility and Art Rock energy”
Powerful and defiant,’Saviour’ is a sonic satellite launched into the darkness - a beacon of hope - a search for unity and healing in a fractured and polarised world.
“Creating this album has been a process of looking inward through the microscope as much as looking outward and upwards through the telescope into the universal’. G
POLARCHORAL, the 5th solo album by GRICE, explores the bi-polarity of personal relationships and ideologies, the attraction and division of people and the confusion, conflict and hurt prevalent in our times.
lyrics
LYRICS
Hide the workings of the martyred mind
And you can laugh if you can smile
And face another tragic time
And take the pill and make it mine
I won’t be told, I’ll just be fine.
Saviour of ourselves
Go crazy on ourselves
Saviour of ourselves
Go crazy on ourselves
Saviour of ourselves
Are you living today?
Have you something to say?
Are you still in the dark?
Don’t you think we should start?
Through an opening mind
Through an opening mind
OK
Chase with winning hands and losing face
It’s on the cards - the Royal hush
Now baby don’t you want him back
It’s always right - if it’s not wrong
We want the world - it’s where we belong
Saviour of ourselves
Go crazy on ourselves
Saviour of ourselves
Are you living today?
Have you something to say?
Are you still in the dark?
Don’t you think we should start?
Through an opening mind
Through an opening mind
With a winning hand and a losing face
Well, It’s on the cards - the Royal chase
Have you something to say
In the dark, In circles we chase
With a winning hand and a losing face
It’s on the cards - the Royal hush
Now baby don’t you want him back
It’s always right - its never wrong
We want the world - it's where we belong
Saviour of ourselves
Crazy on ourselves
