Lyrics: Wake up, what’s in front of you? Relax, the change is overdue Shake up, the path and the pace Sit back, this might be my place Hold on, to the placid in the rough Back to, what was once enough Breathe long, the turning of the page And view, the true and the staged So I make lemonade till the fight don’t feel the same Watchin’ seasons change till the fire, till the fire don’t feel the same

Moments 02:28
Lyrics: Try measure the length they go these moments from the start Am I middle, in between or has this moment played its part? From reflection on the past to a swift and clear expire How long these moments last are where my thoughts reside
3.
Lyrics: Bring pace and chance to prove Here it comes but I can’t see the way with the speed that it moves Bound to this sloping hill and the next Just keep this rolling stone from the bottom lying still And it's all right now Yeah it's all right now When leap comes to crawl hold on pick wind up and pursue and break on through the wall And if sunlight falls too fast cold and quiet wait until the dawn and move like it’s the last And it's all right now I can be the one with the rockin' beat though Yeah it's all right now I can be the one with the rockin' beat though

Lyrics: Can I stop, or slow this ship, that’s now in sight? Or has it passed, on it goes, into the night? Will this be the one and only thing that stops a perfect scene? Will this be the one and only thing that’s standing in between? Distance in between Is it the same as me? Mast is still in view Is it the same as you? Will this lighthouse, pull in this ship, is this the plan? Or guide it through, to dock into, some other land? Will this be the one and only thing that stops a perfect scene? Will this be the one and only thing that’s standing in between?

Lyrics: Is this a familiar breeze that’s caught up and following me? I recognise these trees That’ll change eventually I don’t know which way we’ll go Whichever way that river flows Running fast or running slow come ride this river with me For now this lion’s asleep No roaring crashing of sea And I’ll know when it wakes will be the end of my journey
6.
Lyrics: Seems to be, that I can’t see this whole wide breathing forest for the trees I know I can’t run, I know I can’t hide from these branches but I need something to hold and ground my feet Clear as I can see this mark reminds me Gotta say, if I wait too late will all behind me be just a vision of peace? I’ve been awake, to the change I need Now a mark to remember reminds me permanently Clear as I can see this mark reminds me to keep on pushing for this hope and many more Keep me impelled with a warmth to relate Drive to act and to contemplate If I keep my eyes on this chosen place the fifth of March next year won’t be the same
7.
Lyrics: This ain’t a story from the sea of leviathans, and giants beneath This ain’t a story from the king with knights away, a chalice back they’ll bring Just a story for you and me At least the start, the rest we’ll see For eyes and ears here presently Just a story I hope we’ll keep This ain’t a story from above of lightning bolts and, goddess of Roman love This ain’t a story from a field entrenched within, a letter not yet sealed This ain’t a story from the sea Just a story for you and me This ain’t a story from the sea Just a story I hope we’ll keep
8.
Lyrics: They say, you can be anybody when wrapped in hopes and dreams Will I stay, undoubtedly? Or will I fade, dissolve back to the sea? Will I be somebody else? They say, every part of me in seven years will be a memory Will I change? In time we’ll see Or be the same? Someone tell me I plea They say, all our history Resolves, resets, repeats the same story Will I build, this reverie? Or fall back to that known reality? Will I be somebody else? Can I be somebody else?

about

Toby Mobbs’ debut album ‘Placid In The Rough’ brings together 8 tracks released individually over the span of two years. PITR follows the easing of the worldwide pandemic through the slow transition from home recording to studio with an increasingly growing group of collaborators as physical distancing restrictions began to ease. PITR brings together a multitude of Mobbs’ musical inspirations from hard rock, to folk, to pop, to orchestral. From this has emerged one of the most diverse collections of genres released by an independent artist, tied together by introspective lyrics and melody at its heart.
