Sandglass
See the time pass
There’s a crack in the sandglass
See your time pass
By the look on your sandglass
Sigh on fly on
What would you think if the sea turned pink
While you shed your tears wailing on a boardwalk
So what you’ll do if all plans came true
Though you never ever knew what the hell to do
What would you think if the sea turned pink
While you shed your tears wailing on a boardwalk
So what you’ll do if all plans came true
Though you never ever knew what the hell to do
See the time pass
There’s a crack in the sandglass
See your time pass
By the look on your sandglass
Sigh on fly on
How does it feel if the funk gets real
And all your plans don’t work that you’ve always worked on
So what to do if dreams won’t come true
Though you told us all you knew what the hell to do
How does it feel if the funk gets real
And all your plans don’t work that you’ve always worked on
So what to do if dreams won’t come true
Though you told us all you knew what the hell to do
See the time pass
By the look on your sandglass
Sigh on fly on
What would you think if the sea turned pink
While you shed your tears wailing on a boardwalk
So what you’ll do if all plans came true
Though you never ever knew what the hell to do
What would you think if the sea turned pink
While you shed your tears wailing on a boardwalk
So what you’ll do if all plans came true
Though you never ever knew what the hell to do

Solitude
Lonely Jack trapped in his box
Ready ’n’ Hot to start a lotta noise
Lonely birds must walk their dogs
Poor attempt to find the cat of choice
Lovely Jack trapped in your head
Working hard to open up your eyes
Angry birds shitting on your hat
Trying hard to look like butterflies
Solitude can’t bring me down
Loneliness is not the ground at all
Solitude, don’t bring me down
Loneliness is not the ground at all
Lonely Jack trapped in his box
Maybe waiting for a joke to come
Lonely birds still walk their dogs
but there’s no cat around if you need one
Solitude can’t bring me down
Loneliness is not the ground at all
Solitude can’t bring me down
Loneliness is not the ground at all
Angry Jack trapped in your head
Working hard to open up your eyes
Angry birds shitting on your hat
Trying hard to act like butterflies
Solitude can’t bring me down
Loneliness is not the ground at all
Solitude, don’t bring me down
Loneliness is not the ground at all

Path
What does it mean if your lawn turned green
While you leave the path that you always walked on
Now what you’ll do if all your plants turn blue
Though you never, never knew what the hell to do
We burned a lot of gas in the name off Jazz
Though we told the whole world to save their children
So what to do if words won’t come true
Though we always thought we knew what the hell to do
What does it mean if your lawn turned green
While you leave the path that you always walked on
Now what you’ll do if all your plants turn blue
Though you never, never knew what the hell to do
We burned a lot of gas in the name off Jazz
Though we told the whole world to save their children
So what to do if words won’t come true
Though we always thought we knew what the hell to do
What does it mean if your lawn turned green
While you leave the path that you always walked on
Now what you’ll do if all your plants turn blue
Though you never, never knew what the hell to do
We burned a lot of gas in the name off Jazz
Though we told the whole world to save their children
So what to do if words won’t come true
Though we always thought we knew what the hell to do

Das Meer
Ich schaue auf das Meer
Und wünsch’ mir etwas mehr
Gelassenheit
In dieser wilden Zeit
Yeah
Die Möwen ziehen dahin
Bin froh, dass ich hier bin
Am weißen Strand
Ooh
Und ich seh’ es tut weh
Doch es ist vorbei
Yeah es ist heiß
Ja so heiß
Mmm
An diesem Strand
Yeah
Hab’ ich mich verbrannt
Ooh
Die Möwen ziehen dahin
Bin froh, dass ich hier bin
Am weißen Strand
Wo es begann
Ooh
Und ich seh’ es tut weh
Doch es ist vorbei
Yeah
Es ist heiß
Ja so heiß

Rescue
I can hear the grass grow
Looking for rescue
I need you like you do
There’s no way to get through
I can hear the grass grow
Looking for rescue
I need you like you do
There’s no way to get through
I can hear the grass grow
Looking for rescue
I need you like you do
There’s no way to get through
I can hear the grass grow
Looking for rescue
I need you like you do
There’s no way to get through

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range.

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that.

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Aussie six-piece showcases a buoyant co-mingling of jazz-funk grooves, snappy post-punk riffs, and krautrock motoriks.

Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music. Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts.
