2020, a Vision 03:20
lyrics
Sittin’ here and eating immature oranges From the tree I found in the garden of eden I resent all the people of their own success Oh, I hide away from my own true self The list goes on (the list goes on) The list goes on Of my promises to keep My promises For 2020 I like to make the strange familiar and the familiar strange I love speed, I love life Jung and Freud, you ought to psychoanalyze My promises My promises for 2021 My promises And she’s the one She’s the one I truly want, yeah

Aphrodite 04:34
lyrics
This day last week you packed your clothes right before my eyes You said you didn’t love me anymore But I knew those words were nothin’ but lies, oh Did you hear the news? They canceled 2020 (they cancelled the year 2020) But I still love you, my dream girl come true Oh, I love you I used to lay in bed all day and stare at my ceiling Hoping to get some sleep The sleep I haven’t gotten this entire week, no No way in hell I’d last that long I couldn’t even sleep after I heard our last song

Lonely 03:08
lyrics
Life can be so fun You know, it hurts to be someone I’m not I’m just one of many lonely people Life can be so wrong Sometimes, it hurts so bad When I’m lonely I’m just one of many lonely people
5.
Time Goes By 04:08
lyrics
You’re not so young as you used to be Time goes by so naturally, oh Spend your time just wastin’ away You don’t care for anything that goes in your way Nothing is wasted in a life like yours Nothing gets wasted, no There’s a riot in the streets but no one knows what for Don’t empty your heart when your wound is still so sore
6.
A Love Like Hers 04:49
lyrics
Hey, how are you doing? Pretty fine, what about you? I was thinking about the thing that you said the other day A love like hers is something you don’t meet everyday A love like hers, only a minute away Baby, please don’t leave me I love you, I could do anything for you You were thinking about love and so on Then you said “I can't go on” A love like hers is something you don’t meet everyday, oh A love like hers, wasted away
7.
To Write a Letter 03:17
lyrics
I tried to write a letter You know how it feels Try to put your love in words and meanings But it doesn't work out that well My love is more than words can tell My feelings is more than I can spell I don’t know how to show my love for you But then I sent the letter I hope that you will read it, babe Just call me if you don’t understand And I’ll try my best to explain Let me take you out for dinner Let’s maybe go out for a film too What do you do when a love is leaving you? A week has gone past And she hasn't sent anything back Maybe I was a fool To try to take you back for me Will you ever understand? Will you ever forgive me? I want to spend the rest of my life by your side
8.
Do You Wanna Go to the City 03:09
lyrics
Do you want to go to the city with me, my love? If you don't want to, you can stay here with me Do you want to go to the city with me, my love? Hey, do you want to leave the country with me? Such a drag to be here, wasting our time Hey, let's just leave the country for our hearts instead Oh, let us find a place where we can call our home, my love A place for us to be, only you and me Let's go away to a place where we can be
9.
A Better Way 03:10
lyrics
(Sometimes) I get so sad when I'm all alone (Someday) I will find a better way (Sometimes) I wonder if you wonder the same things as I do (Someday) We will find a better way I’ll find a better way, oh You know I’ll find a better way
10.
For a Thousand Years 04:24
lyrics
Love makes you tired and I’m so damn tired So tired I could sleep for a thousand years I will lay in my bed, I will get out of my head I will dream away and sleep like I was dead Oh god, I hope it won't be long Until the summer’s here and the winter will be gone Oh gone, gone forever Love makes you tired and you're so damn tired So tired you could sleep for a thousand years And you lay in your bed, nothing could get out of your head You tried so hard to dream but only thought of her instead Oh god, I hope it won't be long Until the summer’s here and the winter will be gone Oh gone, gone forever (yeah) Sleep, I will sleep Yes I'll sleep, yes I'll sleep For a thousand years
11.
The Past 05:01
lyrics
I turned our love into a song Two or three minutes then it was all gone The song of the past A song that didn’t last A love of the past Two years is a damn long time I don’t know what’s hers and what’s mine The song of the past A song that didn’t last A love of the past Of the past, of the past I think I'm alright, after all I think I’m alright, after all I think I’m alright, after all, yeah

about

The debut of Douglas Diamond, recorded in the spring of 2020 in a very cold basement with broken gear and constant power shortages. The record is a summarization of what unconditional love can be, and of its many different forms it can take.
