lyrics

I hear the sound of no sound
and I know it’s the sound
of the world spinning round
for the first time
this part of the world
for the first time
this part of the world

I hear the sound of no sound
and I know it’s the sound
of the world spinning round
for the first time
this part of the world
for the first time
this part of the world

It seems possible to me
though impossible to see
how all of us can agree

I saw a sign
saying ‘Peace In Our Time’
and I know it’s a sign
don’t be afraid
don’t be afraid

It seems possible to me
though impossible to see
how all of us can agree

I hear a choice comes from one voice
I saw a sign saying ‘Peace In Our Time’
and I hear the sound of no sound
and I know it’s the sound
of the world spinning round
for the first time
this part of the world

Anything you wanna do
and anything you wanna say
anything you wanna do

Don’t be afraid

For your country
is my country
and my people
are your people

We are a motherland
send our children out into the world
deep inside we are heartbroken

Now it’s time
to heal ourselves

Don’t be afraid

Bandcamp asks "Why is this a great record?" This band makes me feel like a fan. Since I saw them live I have only ever had one album in my car CD player -this one. Andy White

Designer

I have listened obsessively to The Barrel since it came out. I have no idea what it is about. That's not the point - it's brilliant. Andy White

Live at Tramps NYC 1995
by ALT / AT

What a concert! Liam's Amazing Grace is incredible. Tim's vocal at the start of I Decided to Fly. The crowd are stars. Try to download and listen without gaps to get the whole ALT live experience. Andy White
