Toss the anchor, ditch the oars
I know what’s worth fighting for
Clip the wings, break the ties
That bind me to this cheap disguise
Day in, day out
Maybe we get stronger in the end
Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
Cause you know how it’s done
But it takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
The person you want me to be
Falling forward, crashing down
Facing backwards, turn around
Close the door on emptiness
And skip the scene of discontent
Day in, day out
Maybe we get stronger in the end
Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
Cause you know how it’s done
But it takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
That you want me to be
It’s better that you have a plan
When you’re worse off than you understand
I know we get stronger in the end
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
