The album comes in a recycled egg box cardboard Digipak 4 panel case with an 8-page booklet with artwork by award-winning artist Sam Hayles, who has worked with Skindred. The booklet includes photos by Filipe Rafael. The discs trays are not made from clear plastic like most digipaks, but are made from recycled egg boxes and have a central cork stud to mount the disc on. The four page printed outer is also made from 100% recycled card stock with a slightly rougher texture than the standard digipaks. This album is environmentally friendly!
Includes unlimited streaming of Songs Of The Now And Then
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
We are all "Living Books" but reading one another can be tricky.
lyrics
What has been written and spoken has been misheard and misread, When you try to help and love and show, They only hurt your head. Should I say I am loyal, Should I say I am true, Would you tell me something different, will I ever see through you?
I am a living book, read me, So are you, take a look, I'll read you too.
I am transparent but no ghost, I am no angel or demon, just your host, Can you answer my questions, Can you hazard a guess? If I told you that I loved you, would it leave you in a mess?
I am a living book, read me, So are you, take a look, I'll read you too.
We put on smiles and social graces, How absurd our changing faces.We put on smiles and social graces, Never mind our changing faces. We put on smiles and changing faces, How absurd our social graces, Changing faces, changing faces, social graces, changing faces.
I am a living book, read me, So are you, take a look, I'll read you too.
