about

Following on from 108's debut EP 'Nine Times Twelve', 2020.

'Life Express' is the first tracks from 108's forthcoming LP 'DEVOTION' due for release in February 2022.

'Life Express' tries to capture something of the awareness of the big clock ticking. The chaos, brilliance, excitement and knife edge existence of life. To be aware of every moment, whether living life in full on party mode or basking in the more quiet, contemplative times. Whatever path we choose, we all die alone leaving behind the consequences of our actions.

Or... on a lighter note, its about a bunch of pissed up whisky drinking hillbillys dancing round a camp fire!" Yee Haar!!

lyrics

'LFE EXPRESS'

Riding the life express and I’m just holding on
Jumped on the all night special – arrives in the morning

There’s angels in heaven and they’re turning the lights on (repeat x4)

Fell asleep in the Forest
Underneath the trees
Heard a lot of commotion
Something’s bothering me
And they’re calling

Angels from heaven
Shine a light on me
A Garden to die for
Got all we need
but we’re falling

Riding the life express
Hoedown - we’re having a party
Sure sign - we’ll have some fun

Sweet home Alabama – southern cross and stars
Hell knows what they’re drinking, heaven knows who they are
But they’re calling

Riding the life express
And I’m holding on
Jump on the all night special
It’s a Hoedown and we’re having a party
Sure sign that we’ll have some fun

And they’re calling

It’s a Hoedown and we’re having a party
Sure sign that we’ll have some fun
