You're Beautiful 04:07

The War is over and nobody wins I see you over there with all of your skin It’s beautiful The campaign has ended and nobody won And all of the fighting has just begun It’s beautiful You’re beautiful Time is standing on top of the son When time keeps standing we’ve already won It doesn’t matter what you say You’re beautiful It doesn’t matter what they say You’re beautiful It doesn’t matter what they think You’re beautiful

I can’t find the truth inside me anymore I can no longer fight inside your secret wars No more decisions meaning a universal fight I can’t find the truth inside me anymore I feel you move and I feel I’m moving too Inside the light, inside tonight I feel your groove and I feel you moving too Inside the light, inside tonight Mankind loses every time while we wait around to die

I never said you were a fool I know your love for me was real But that look in your eyes won’t heal You lay around cause you can’t feel I’m sorry I put you in this place I’m sorry you no longer know how to chase I know if I change my mind you’d take me back But I’ve seen how happy you are where you’re at I cannot offer you those things Like freedom from strings And dreams I think you’re better off where you are Sometimes the best thing you can do for a friend Is let them leave you behind while they change And hope someday they’ll come back around again

Don’t you think you can move me like chess piece? Understand my conditions I’m a man who’s at his end I’m the one who killed his friends Don't you think you can pull me like a kite? Understand my positions I don't need to smoke anymore to "be" conscience Just know I need to live the constant Pressure that gets you down Pressure that makes the world go ‘round I got a picture on my wall full of parrots I got money in my wallet full patriots Don't you think you can screw me any way you please? Understand my religions I’m the man who’s seen the end I’m the one who saved all his friends (I tore down that picture of my patriots) Don't you think you can scare me like a ghost scene? (There is nothing in my wallet but parrots) Or understand the panic (Life can get you down man) I’m the man who’s under ground (Before you know it, life can get you down) I’m the one they never found When they say they’re friends, they’re not friends When they say they love you, they hate you We’re all wishing for another get ‘round We wanna see the world come up and go down Just like the sun, it comes up then it goes right back down We’re all itching for another party We wanna stay up till the sun comes down It’ll come up in the morning but we won’t feel so good World destruction is coming to us But we gotta stay strong because we can Oh no, here I go again

You gave away your feelings when you walked into the room Went straight for my heart with your eyes But your words have no affect on me anymore You can keep all of your hate Why do feel the need to feed on someone else’s pain? I guess it’s just in case you need someone else to blame I’m sorry I’m not the man I used to be, I no longer feel alive

I saw you sleeping on top of the hill Work hard, then you get nothing I saw you preaching on top of the hill Work hard, then you get nothing I saw you creeping at the top of the hill Work hard, then you get nothing I saw you peeping from the top of the hill Work hard, then you get nothing I saw you clinging to the top of the hill Work hard, then you get nothing I saw you being from the top of the hill Work hard, then you get nothing I saw you reaping on the top of the hill Work hard, then you get nothing I saw you seeing from the top of the hill Right now there’s a beautiful girl beside you Right now there’s a beautiful face inside you I saw you stealing from the top of the hill Work hard when you get something I saw you preaching on top of the hill Work hard when you get something I saw you creeping at the top of the hill Work hard when you get something I saw you peeping from the top of the hill Work hard when you get something I saw you reaping from the top of the hill Work hard when you get something I saw you feeling from the top of the hill Work hard when you get something I saw you being from on the top of the hill Work hard when you get something I saw you seeing from the top of the hill

When you’ve lost it all And you can’t feel what I’m feeling You lost control and now you bring up stealing I never stole All of the lights that I tore above you All of the lights that I put inside of you Somebody please take me away Somebody please rescue me Somebody please All of the lights that I put inside of you

about

Craig M Clarke’s music sounds exactly the way he sees everyday life. Deep. Dark. Devout. And daringly to the point.

The audacious singer (and founding member of The New Slave and D.W. Holiday) recently moved from Northern California to Reno, Nevada, where the surroundings gave him a fresh and new sense of freedom – to write songs that are even deeper, darker and devoutly more daring. The cool nightly winds that followed Craig from the corner pub to his recording studio relieved his soul from the heat of the day, as he lay down electronic beats that dig as deep as the duende in his lyrics.

For his latest album, “Here I Go Again,” Craig worked with Sacramento music icon John Callan (SymbioticBiorhythms), who mixed and produced the album. Craig sometimes refers to the album as “The Ghost of Frankenstein," because he related to the theme of a "monster" like Frankenstein being perceived as ferocious. "With this album," explains Craig, "I set out not to destroy the monster in my head, but to understand him, find his weakness and then manipulate him into doing my will."

“Here I Go Again” will be released digitally worldwide on July 31 (via Snowstorm Music) and in Europe on August 6 (via Raw Onion Records).

Craig M Clarke has shared the stage with the likes of The Mountain Goats, The Besnard Lakes, Tobacco, Hood Internet, Califone, Two Gallants, Film School, Scissors for Lefty, Von Iva and Loquat. Craig's influences include XTC, Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Robyn Hitchcock, ELO, George Harrison, Donovan, Grandaddy, Blonde Redhead, The Smiths and Morrissey.
