There is no Christmas still in Aleppo As a matter of fact, we have no one there Sitting on my couch and watching the videos A can of coca-cola in my hand Maybe just one drink was all I demand Somebody was waiting for something we didn’t know Some kind of joke or some kind of miracle Um... The story’s never been told Um... The story was way too old Um... How could we ever know? The place we never went, the child we never met Were on the news again, my coffee turned cold The gunman’s dead now, war hasn’t come yet The blood won’t spill on me, at least I was told Um... The story has been told Um... The story has been too old Um... How could we possibly know? Um… Buy something tomorrow Um... There ain’t any snow Um… Have to close my windows Turn off the radio There is no Christmas still in Aleppo As a matter of fact, we have no one there Sitting on my couch and watching the videos A can of coca-cola in my hand

I wish I could give you everything I owned I wish I could tell you everything I know The brightest star at night might be gone tomorrow But we've been here long enough to let it go So we will find out how much time we love wasting Believing inside your room I need a voice to read the lines I've loved the most I need a place to stay with all the friends I've known Too many we can see, so little we could have cared The weather's looking good, play hide and seek somewhere When our world is turning to the shade we can always lie here Dreaming inside your room I used to be away from the busy streets I used to be afraid of their rolling heat But now our time has come To be alive together The pain we felt today They don't have to be remembered I long for life in here, I long for a brand new day We'll be starting inside your room Inside your room Inside your room

Every day, every night I've been looking for a little chance Compromise and jealousy Sometimes make my shoes so heavy Was I born like this? I fake a smile and have my cry inside I close my eyes and have a prayer in my mind Don't let the sun go down Hold your last beam of light Make your choice right now Wake me up when you cry The boat will sail away I'll see you again someday Tell me why , they said to me You deserve more than what you can be Simplify your lullaby I don't understand a word you've sung Shall I be myself? The rain will burn The sun will turn to black I fare you well Before you ring my bell Don't let the sun go down Hold your last beam of light Make your choice right now Wake me up when you cry The boat will sail away I'll see you again someday The boat will sail away I'll see you again someday

What If? 04:34
What if we couldn’t stand tall? What if they don’t know me at all? What if I don’t have it anymore? What if I? What if I? What if we never change? What if we don’t care a thing? What if I am here to entertain? What if I? What if I? What if the train never arrived? What if the dead came alive? What if the ceremony revived? What if I? What if I? Everything has to change Everything is just one last thing Everything is here to entertain Everything, everything

So many tongues were broken So many birds had fallen So many skies were closed So many windows open They said I sounded so much like Nick Drake I told them I - I don’t know who he is Is he a writer, a gambler or a dreamer The sun is up, the moon is down My friend Let it all begin again Too many angels fallen Too many devils risen Too many truths uncovered Too many myths unanswered And that is why We are just in a circle What have we done? Put down all of your burdens Heavens were damned Hells were blessed In my church The moon is up, the sun is down My friend Let it all begin again Let it all begin, let it all begin Let it all, let it all Let it all begin again

Killer Whale 06:30
Killer whale in the deep blue sea Swimming to the edge of the world He's alone but now he's free Going to the place he got lost No matter if it's day or night Killer whale will still be searching for his light Until the day he dies Paralyse your mind Get ready to fly to the sky Beautify your prime Take a look at the melting ice Killer whale Killer whale in the deep blue sea Thinking about the time he sleeps Your family is too hard to fish Your eyes are just too good to weep When you'd found the light you saw You know it's only Something you have seen before The reflection of the moon Paralyse your mind Get Ready to fly to the sky Beautify your prime Take a look at the melting ice Paralyse your mind Get Ready to fly to the sky Beautify your prime Take a look at the melting ice Killer whale

Have you ever felt the blues of Jimmy Lee Williams? Have you ever left home thinking if you are the only one? But we don't do it here anymore We only share our jokes No more teachings, no more preachings Or reading your second-hand books Even though the crisis here is new Nothing wrong to prove my point of view Someone else will shake your sunshine Someone else will know It's too risky to be sober Take off all your clothes There's a beach in Somalia Locking up fishermen's souls I wanna see how life's been there This is where I will go Even though we never have a clue The dream is made-up but the fear is true Now we're so lost - what you gonna do? How much longer til we make it through? You can be my guest today Help me blow my blues away in time Have you really felt the blues of Jimmy Lee Williams? Have you told the hobo about The prize that you have won? You can dial back to the number If they can stand your jokes They'll wish you luck and turn you aside Without a second look Have you ever, have you ever..

Throwing candy out to the crowd, dragging down the main The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth who's always got something to say You're sitting around at home now waiting for your brother to call I saw him down in the alley, having had enough of it all Said you can do what you want to whenever you want to You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you All spit and spite, you're up all night and down every day A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger You can do what you want to whenever you want to You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you Now you can do what you want to whenever you want to Do what you want to whenever you want to Do what you want to whenever you want to though it doesn't mean a thing Big nothing

Blackout in Adelaide The bugs were singing louder than before Lagging behind I was kind of missing my home Heavens for sale I've been dying from mortality Starlight ramble Tossing all the tide Tide Tender as shoreline Diving in the good old days Catching the sparkle They were staring back at me Tide

Hey Do You! 03:20
Hey do you need someone to comfort you? Hey are you too lazy to break the rules? There is no one coming by There is nowhere you can hide Maybe we can say goodbye To our crazy little mind You can tell me how Every time is now In the end we won't be here around Hey do you lose control when you have to choose? Hey are you so confused, don't know what to do? If you're early, you can wait Turn your head and go your way Make them suffer and make them pray When they find out it's too late What you doing here? What you fear is near Someday you will vanish from your tears Hey do you need someone to comfort you? Hey are you too lazy to break the rules? Hey do you lose control when you have to choose? Hey are you so confused, don't know what to do? Hey do you need someone to comfort you? Hey are you too lazy to break the rules? Hey do you lose control when you have to choose? Hey are you so confused, don't know what to do?

about

Our mutual solitude brought us an unforgettable concert last year. This collective memory has been well-preserved by the latest limited transparent vinyl Alone Together Live. The world is in such turmoil; But music will continue help us find each other.

Hong Kong singer-songwriter Jabin Law first live album Alone Together Live is inspired by his previous double album Ahistorical. Thanks to the rearranged music by the bands, the first half is an acoustic set which explores loneliness through poetic lyricism; The second half is almost like an alternative rock party, releasing the desire to reconnect with people around albeit such hard times.
