Never thought that I’d grow up to be
This punker kid with no identity
Playing songs that no one knows
At ill-attended shows
Wondering what the hell this life is for
I go for ALL but still want more
You blazed a trail where there was none
And I descended on
My path in life, my destiny
You paved the way for so many
Why wait to honor someone when they’re gone
The time is now, I’ll show you how
Raise a glass to Bill and sing along
When things were dark you were a light to me
And everything you said would help me see
You pick me up when no one can
Shape the person that I am
Keep reminding me what I’m here for
Go for ALL and still want more
You pull my heartstrings with those songs
Of love and hope and loss
And silly words that make no sense
I hope you know how much you meant
Why wait to honor someone when they’re gone
The time is now, I’ll show you how
Raise a glass to Bill and sing along
Raise a glass to Bill and sing along
Don’t wait to sing along
Don’t wait, I can’t thank you enough
For what you’ve given us
That album felt like coming home after a long time away but still being proud of everything I'd seen while I was gone. One minute and twenty seven seconds into "Kenver" feels like the culmination of everything I've loved about this band since I was a kid. It feels like the best parts of freedom I've felt on the best nights of my life. Scott

This album is next level for HP2. From the metal guitars of Big Energy to the jazzy sounds of N.B.T.S. it's all over the place musicly. Yet at the same time a cohesive collection that is uniquely Half Past Two. The production quality is also top notch, from the clarity of the recording to the mix the let's all of the performances shine. Erik Aasness
