Dolphins 04:10
I dive like a dolphin Into and out of the waves I feel the rush of the ocean Coursing through my veins Get out of my way… I’m alive once more… Get out of my way… Honey I want more… For the times that I was honest Open Strongest Enamoured by you… Get out of my way… love Can you taste the saltwater Now that it’s all that remains Well that’s the crest of a deep swell Breaking through your skin Get out of my way… I’m alive once more… Get out of my way… Honey I want more… For the times that I was honest Open Strongest Enamoured by you… Get out of my way… love Get out of my way… love Get out of my way… love Get out of my way… love Get out of my way… love, love, love (Don’t stop until you start believing Can’t stop to fight through the feeling)

You're dancing to the groove Pulling crazy mad moves Oh, uh huh There’s something I like It’s you that I like I kick off my shoes I’ve been waiting for a girl like you It’s you that I like You’re sending your advances To the boy deep inside I was lost out here Feeling lonely inside Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing I’ll spin you right around And slide you up and down Oh, uh huh There’s something I like It’s you that I like I’ve never been a mover But dancing now with you I am Elvis It’s you that I like You’re sending your advances To the boy deep inside I was lost out here Feeling lonely inside Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing with you Tonight I feel like dancing with you Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing with you Tonight I feel like dancing with you Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing Tonight I feel like dancing with you Tonight I feel like dancing with you (Things are looking up now I’m here with you I don’t want to catch my breath here dancing with you)

Wishing Well 04:54
Who’s gonna haunt me now Come alive with the wind in your sails The desert rains beat down Tracing your face in the sand I remember your eyes… The way they still wanted me… And I wish I could’ve been that man You said you saw in me… I sewed your tears into my heart… In the hope they’d encompass me… My very own wishing well Where I burn a candle I feel your fingers upon me now Run their course down the nape of my neck Who am I to be a cynic This could be the limit of love I remember your eyes… The way they still wanted me… And I wish I could’ve been that man You said you saw in me… I sewed your tears into my heart… In the hope they’d encompass me… My very own wishing well Where I burn a candle Who’s gonna haunt me now Come alive with the wind in your sails Who am I to be a cynic This could be the limit of love I remember your eyes… The way they still wanted me… And I wish I could’ve been that man You said you saw in me… I sewed your tears into my heart… In the hope they’d encompass me… My very own wishing well Where I burn a candle Where I burn Where I burn a candle Where I burn Where I burn a candle How I wish you well Ooh girl Your my wishing well This moment, that magic Keeps burning me still I’ve been lost here in silence It’s made me feel ill Yes it’s more than just science It’s blood, sex and triumph too

The Truth 04:17
Time is no-one’s business Stop begging for forgiveness You’re back to twist my melon again It’s so strange that I could love you Strange that I could need you Strange that I could love you, more I could never love you I could never love you, more And here we go I can’t stand it But that’s the way it has to be… Oh, I got lost in the magic Caught in a reverie… You’re chasing my shadow I’m taller than you’ll ever be… I don’t need no answer The truth lies inside of me… I came in here with nothing You fool you gave me something Dancing after midnight again It’s so strange that I could love you Strange that I could need you Strange that I could love you, more I could never love you I could never love you, more And here we go I can’t stand it But that’s the way it has to be… Oh, I got lost in the magic Caught in a reverie… You’re chasing my shadow I’m taller than you’ll ever be… I don’t need no answer The truth lies inside of me… (The truth my dear is I’ve been waiting most of my life. I’ve been hiding, waiting for you to accept. Time has nothing to do with you. And you know what? It doesn’t matter. The truth is inside me! The truth is inside me!) We’ll touch the painted sky And we’ll climb higher… We’ll touch the painted sky And we’ll climb higher… Oh, the truth lies inside of Truth lies inside of me… Oh, the truth lies inside of Truth lies inside of me… Oh, the truth lies inside of Truth lies inside of me… Oh, the truth lies inside of Truth lies inside of me…

Well have you asked yourself What makes you a man And as you contemplate Do you have plans? The world won’t stop To let you off So stop staring out your window… Staring out your window… Whatever it takes Before we fall We’ve got the notion now We’re invincible Shout it loud It’s time to getaway This is the life we’re after… Come to the love Come to the light This is the life we’re after… Well have you found yourself There praying again Or have you still got faith And that never ends What if a great woman Could find you too But she’s not here to save you… She’s not here to save you… Whatever it takes Before we fall We’ve got the notion now We’re invincible Shout it loud It’s time to getaway This is the life we’re after… Come to the love Come to the light This is the life we’re after… This is the life we’re after… This is the life we’re after… (Enter the love, enter the light) Whatever it takes Before we fall We’ve got the notion now We’re invincible Shout it loud It’s time to getaway This is the life we’re after… Come to the love Come to the light This is the life we’re after… (You can change it now this life is yours If you’re too strung out and sensible Cos time won’t wait for you my friends There’s a light out here that’s beautiful… There’s a light out here that’s beautiful… There’s a light out here that’s beautiful… There’s a light out here that’s beautiful… There’s a light out here that’s beautiful…)

If there’s magic in me Why can I not see Through the coconut trees Dancing on my stereo A lebanese lover Beauty undercover That’s how the sandstorm blows I hear the voices The voices of Babylon Beyond the desert Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the desert Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the Kush Beyond the desert If the truth that you seek Finds it’s faith in me As the monkey nuts speak Chasing me in monotone A seven seas wonder Left to be discovered That’s where the sandstorm blows I hear the voices The voices of Babylon Beyond the desert Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the desert Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the Kush Beyond the desert Open your eyes There is love There is light In the darkest of nights I hear it in the voices… I hear the voices… I hear the voices… I hear the voices… I hear the voices The voices of Babylon Beyond the desert Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the desert Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the Kush Beyond the desert Beyond the Kush Beyond the desert (Sometimes the sun gets in your eyes The curtains close and carpets fly)

Are you just like me You want to be free You scan the horizons In search of the Helios door We don’t count time It seems we’ve always known there is more… Inner light… Rushes at me through the flames My synapses fire in my brain… And baby we wanted this It’s immortal bliss There’s no pain… The Helios door The Helios door… We’re so frightened to see Truth and reality We move through the world As chameleons hiding our hands Hassassin cold blood Hand in hand we walk through the door… Inner light… Rushes at me through the flames My synapses fire in my brain… And baby we wanted this It’s immortal bliss There’s no pain… The Helios door The Helios door… Inner light… Rushes at me through the flames My synapses fire in my brain… And baby we wanted this It’s immortal bliss There’s no pain… The Helios door The Helios door… (Because the night It hides the knives Let’s touch the light Let’s touch the light)

It’s too early in the morning We’re fed up of talking The tears streaming down your face Say there’s only so much, we can take Is it too late? Oh baby I love you dear But I can’t find the words to say ‘I love you’ this time And I’m hurting inside Just shut-up and kiss me my love Before the fire expires again Could this be love… Could this be love… It’s like we’ve been here before this And our fate keeps on calling For the real truth is hard to take When you want to give up, please just wait It’s not too late And it’s never been so clear to me There’s a darkness that we both bleed shall we let the light in? Embrace the cool scent of sin? Just shut-up and kiss me my love Before the fire expires again Could this be love… Could this be love… For the moments and the madness I never knew we’d feel ashamed For everything we’ve said and done Why does it hurt so much? Higher, higher Baby I’m burning Fire, Fire Baby I’m burning And you know I’ll always love you And I know I’ll always need you I can feel our hearts hurting From the moment we kissed Could this be love… Could this be love… Higher, higher Baby I’m burning Fire, Fire Baby I’m burning And you know I’ll always love you And I know I’ll always need you I can feel our hearts hurting From the moment we kissed Could this be love… Could this be love… (Open your eyes again (Repeat) Baby how I want you Baby how I need you (Repeat))

You know there’s something wrong In the bottom of this pit For all that they have taught you You know you’re more than this Bring out your vision Dance before the mission Where the light comes in Sparks fly, your nervous now… Arms wide, you can let the light in… Sparks fly, your nervous now… Arms wide, you can let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… So don’t you take the blame For finding you don’t fit They think that they can own you But their just talking shit Bring out your vision Dance before the mission Where the light comes in Sparks fly, your nervous now… Arms wide, you can let the light in… Sparks fly, your nervous now… Arms wide, you can let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the Light… Let the Light… Let the light in… Sparks fly, your nervous now… Arms wide, you can let the light in… Sparks fly, your nervous now… Arms wide, you can let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… Let the light in… (Let the light in… Let the light… Let the Light in… Let the light in… Let the light… Let the Light in…)

Words 05:50
You sat amongst them You came to protest You came to tell them let’s stop dealing in bombs You sat there with them You got trapped among them You sat there gasping inflating your bonds And now you know how it feels to fall into fire You said you’d tell them Exactly how it was But now you’re sat there Eating all your words Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire… Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire… You sat amongst them You drank it with them You downed the poison that’s blinded your eyes You sat amongst them You got fat amongst them You sat there laughing inflating the lies And now you know how it feels to fall into fire You said you’d tell them Exactly how it was But now you’re sat there Eating all your words Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire… Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire… No man should ever walk alone No man should ever have to walk by themselves to face such darkness For we shall be there with you and together we will make our stand For this is what makes us human We are afraid but not scared to fight for what is right And we shall beam a beacon of light For even in our darkest hour We will not suffer We will not fail For we are together A part of what makes us whole For even here with nothing They cannot take everything We still have our words Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire You said you’d tell them Exactly how it was But now you’re sat there Eating all your words Words that come between us Words could set the world on fire… Fire… Fire…

about

Azumini London, UK

Writing in the desert of Kuwait has clearly influenced Singer/Songwriter Oliver Borrow (AKA Azumini). Far from being melancholic it's beautiful and gushing with hope.

Azumini writes and records on a laptop, whilst travelling across the Middle East and Asia.

Debut LP ‘Last Fire Burning’ in Feb 2016 and 2nd album 'Beyond the Desert Kush' in 2017. Forthcoming 3rd 'Daylight' is out in April 2018.
