1.	Terminal 01:20	lyrics	buy track
I have a vision of America Seen from the air, 28,000 feet and going fast A one armed man in a Fresno parking labyrinth A giant primeval bird, a burnt tree In an empty lot in Modesto And miles and miles of hotel corridors Elevators with citizens I have a vision of America
2.	Climbing Up 03:48	lyrics
You call me up late trying to tempt fate It dives and sinks low A crime that has no witnesses to speak Out on what they see But when you fall down Wanna fall I can't help but meet you on the Holding on to one last hope Holding on to what you know I have nothing left to see Everyone wants a piece of me Everyone wants a piece of me Driving through the night asking for a light I lock eyes with you Our little rendezvous We walk through the haze Different types of shades In-N-Out we go Learning how to know But when you have it just to have it Does it really make it all that low? Holding on to one last hope Holding on to what you know I have nothing left to see Everyone wants a piece of me Everyone wants a piece of me (Sen. Nina Turner) Come on somebody! Cutting through the crowd Between the valley sound It twists and turns uphill All hail the tourist thrill Climbing all the way to the Climbing all the way to the Climbing all the way to the Climbing all the way to the top The top
3.	Nightfall 05:01	lyrics
Never had enough of loving Never had enough of you Took another hit of passion Laced with memories of you Now you see We ain't ever going We ain't ever going home again It's not me That you're really wanting That you're really wanting for the nightfall Never loved another so madly Never felt so much pain Took a trip inside my mental Nearly lost my whole damn brain Now you see We ain't ever going We ain't ever going home again It's not me That you're really wanting That you're really wanting for the nightfall Now you see

Looking to the future, what's in store Nothing ever seemed to go before He lives in a house off Figueroa Giving everything for a life to love In a backyard all alone Together we're far from home In a backyard all alone Together we're far from home Even in the night time there's a shot But I don't know how long I've got And every time he brings up someone My mind is on the floor Reeling in this moment I just look at you Haven't heard such thoughts In a setting like this But I forget to write All the things he said Even in the night time there's a shot But I don't know how long I've got In a backyard all alone Together we're far from home In a backyard all alone Together we're far from home

Underwater from the waist deep They turned and laughed at me Having nothing in their prayers I cried an apology Undercover in the walls where They hide just wait for me Happened to go too long Then they said this to me This is the place where you forget just what you need This is the place where you can live your fantasy This is the place where you forget just what you need This is the place where you can live your fantasy Locking up the doors behind There is security A helmet placed upon the head Is such a luxury I couldn't help but think about The day we went to sea The last time I saw your face Smiling back at me This is the place where you forget just what you need This is the place where you can live your fantasy This is the place where you forget just what you need This is the place where you can live your fantasy This is the place where you forget just what you need This is the place where you can live your fantasy This is the place where you forget just what you need This is the place where you can live your fantasy
9.	What's That 03:47	lyrics
Thinking Having little thoughts I call you over just to see you There's a glimmer of some light When you catch my eyes Through the haze of night Crawling End up on the scene I don't really feel like me love Went and got myself a mess Pouring more for me but I just want more less Shifting Making all the moves You watch them line up for the showing Cover their faces in the blood Lift up the gates again Just to watch the city flood What's that that you said to me What's that that you said to me What's that that you said to me
10.	Lake 05:27	lyrics	buy track
Time slips through my hands Sand falls in a glass Years happen so fast I dwell on the past But you are focused in view Today in a bathing suit Never left her and you Mop on the floor Til it's heavy to walk All the bad that you think It would be on her thoughts And it falls on your feet And it wakes me up I can't help all the lies And it adds any faults over Paths seen from up high Dreams I can't deny You (and) I ( have) No (time) To (waste) When (there's) So much left to see Everything I want Is sitting in front of me Taking up space In the picture of life I have made for myself With you by my side All the time Beautiful and divine What else can I say Floating on water I have a feeling I won't forget this moment So forget everything you know Let it all be free

about

If you’re climbing up the walls from being stuck inside for days, if not weeks at this point, well, we’re all in the same boat on this one. But at least we have music to get us by and Heads or Heads is providing an assist with the brand new song (and lyric video) for “Climbing Up.” The track marks the return of Kansas City-based producer and filmmaker Alex Harbolt after his debut record, Am Enigma, dropped in 2018. “Climbing Up” is your first preview of what’s to arrive on Harbolt’s sophomore record, Low Angles, which will see its proper release on May 1st.

“Climbing Up” wanders off into the territory of nu-disco which Harbolt was inspired to pursue after he and his girlfriend visited Los Angeles. That visit pushed him to begin writing a loose concept record from the vantage point of a Kansas City artist, taking a look at California idealism and the drastic discrepancies between the two locations.

“‘Climbing Up’ is my first attempt at making disco,” comments Harbolt. “There’s a lot of references to the LA trip, you hear ‘in and out we go’ but literally it’s ‘In-N-Out.’ How could I not write about my first time there? On the bridge of the track, there is a recording of Nina Turner speaking at a Bernie Sanders rally in Queens, New York and she yells to the crowd ‘come on somebody,’ which was another moment I knew I wanted to include somewhere on the album. It just happened to fall there.”

Despite his talents as a songwriter, Harbolt kind of walked through the backdoor to a career in music. With a passion for film making, it was never an ambition of his to record music even though he had a talent for it. Am Enigma was originally planned to be a gift that Harbolt made for a close friend, with a few family members also hearing the record. Before he knew it, the album began gaining popularity once uploaded online and suddenly Harbolt had to give some serious second thought regarding his career ambitions.

The idea to record music was originally inspired by when he first visited L.A. and what a surreal change of pace it was when compared to living in rural Missouri. Needless to say, the vacation to L.A. has been nothing but beneficial to Harbolt with his creativity both as a songwriter and behind the camera.
