She was a corvette Amazon A spark in the night Driving lonesome Texas road As fast as the light She had no fear, she was so free A shooting star striking so far The night is bleeding She was so fast, she was a blast A snaky light tearing up the night The sky is crying Oh, Corvette Amazon Angel's heart in a rocking soul A free spirit in a rolling mind She was a corvette Amazon A knight on her ride A satellite lost on the edge As sharp as her pride She was the sword leading a horde Three hundred some horses power The road is shaking She was a kind of hurricane Going somewhere as from nowhere The road is quaking Oh, Corvette Amazon Angel's heart in a rocking soul A free spirit in a rolling mind

Fake Talk 04:05
Woke up this morning with a taste of TV BS. Smells like fake talk trash stuffed deep down my eyes. My ears are bleeding with that noise and lie It's only eMpTyV and unreal reality shows. In the street, bipeds fake talking Hunting on gray matter. Noise drilling my ears to get my mind contaminated. People everywhere fake talking in unison as loud As the deafening silence of a superficial relationship. The day is ending, fake talk keeps going Words still screaming in my skull I can't hear a thing anymore. So shut up, shut up, I can't hear you, I can't hear you I can't hear you, I can't hear you...

Father's Day 05:09
You ran away as soon as I was born Leaving me alone in the storm You turned off the light on my life Like a shadow dying in the dark Alone I had to learn How to dance on the rope So many times I fell Without a strength to hold my hand I've got your blood Maybe your face Still I wonder how Do you feel now I can forgive But I can't forget I cannot hate But I can't ignore you. You chose to turn your back at the mirror Leaving me alone with a host In a white glove you erased your mistake Strangling the first cry in the silence So many times I cried Without a shoulder to lean on Alone I had to guess Why I've been slapped in the face I've got your blood Maybe your face Still I wonder how Do you feel now I can forgive But I can't forget I cannot hate But I can't ignore you.

about

It is a rare thing to find a band that is influenced by so many different genres and has the ability to show them in one album. 4Element is such a band. Throughout the album you feel you are relaxing over a drink at a jazz bar only to be softly transitioned into a hard edged heavy metal melody that trashes you around the room.

The album opens with a slow jazz bass riff and a melodic guitar ("Ducks On The Wall"). It then tackles subjects as varied as love ("Corvette Amazon"), big media propaganda ("Fake Talk"), warped mind ("Insane Madness") and a child's abandonment ("Father's Day"). And in the middle of all of it is a good dose of instrumentals ("Mid Century Sky Jump" & "Seasons") to let your mind fly through the ether.

You can tell that 4Element prides itself on dynamics, beautiful melodies and massive sounds for good measure. This is definitely the album for the living spirit that listens to music deeply with their mind and heart wide open.
