Wanderlust Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll I thought about you only yesterday The time that we shared seems so far away I still hear you asking me to stay But home is where the heart is I thought we were one but I was one of three Sailing on a river in Egypt to the sea So I jumped ship and now I’m feelin’ free So another one bites the dust Another ship turns to rust Another love boom to bust I’ll find a love that feels like home A love that I can call home I still get your phone calls now and then All ‘How’s life…’ & ‘Remember when..’ I hear your stories about other men And how we’re getting older Life can change in a heart beat We never know who we’re going to meet Love cats always land on their feet Another one bites the dust Another ship turns to rust Another love boom to bust I’ll find a love that feels like home A love that I can call home I’ll find a love that I can call home A love that feels like home And now with wanderlust keeping me enthralled I'm wondering about the next port of call Maybe Spain, maybe Portugal I'll find a love that feels like home

All I’ve found Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll I’m on the road I’m on the move Nothing to gain, nothing to lose If I don’t go now I’ll never know Wind in my hair ease my mind Leave my troubles way behind If I don’t go now I’ll never know All I’ve found I’ve found through pushing on Rise again and move beyond And this journey never ends.

Rise like the Sun Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll Freedom my love. Love my freedom. I do love our kisses but you know I don’t need them. I've fallen deep even though it’s just begun.

I follow my heart woman I’ve made up my mind but Que Se ra se ra. I let you go, see you fly. Rise like the sun (repeat) Rise Woman Rise Woman I see you being the best woman you can be. Wings feel the wind lifting you to be free. You know that I love you. My love knows no doubt. Well… Fly now woman yeah I’m all about it. Freedom my love. Love my freedom.

Free Again Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll Every day that’s ticking over, I’m another day older, Feel the weight I feel the burden bearing down on my shoulders, I’m living the life you told me. I’m living the dream you sold me. So why does my soul just want to scream? Oh set me free yeah. Yeah I wonder if I’ve lost my mind. I wonder if I’ve wasted my time, Then I re awake, realise what it takes, To be free again Now I burn all these illusions. Break free from these chains. I’m gonna climb atop the carriage and take hold of the reins. Well I take a leap of faith. Yeah I take a leap of trust. ‘Cause it’s not a matter of if, just when. For I know I must, I must be free. Yeah I wonder if I’ve lost my mind. I wonder if I’ve wasted my time, Then I re awake, realise what it takes, To feel free again (repeat) I pick myself up and dust myself off. I’ve ridden the peaks and hit the bottom of troughs. Rough and tumble, some days I stumble. Get back on my feet now I’m ready to rumble. Always respectful yeah always humble. Just chipping away till my obstacles crumble. I’m living my life. I’m living my dreams, as the ocean is home to all running streams. I’m free again. Oh free again. Free again. Finally free again Free Again. Quiet my mind. Free Again. Follow the signs. Free Again. Yeah choose my line. Free again. Yeah free again. Well I’m finally free again. I’m finally free again. (repeat)

Down to Earth Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll Coconut thuds as it hits the ground. Buzzing kids all gathered around. Full basket balances on Mama’s head. Good food, fresh milk, no need for bread. Papa climbs another palm with a blade, keen skills and a strap of yarn. Making his way toward the sky then thud, thud, thud as the coconuts fly… Down to Earth. Living in a paradise. Down to earth. We count these blessings twice (repeat) Tide rolls in pushing swell . To wrap and bend as it does so well. Inside section, utter perfection. Pull in tight for a closer inspection. Daylight coming closer Let me out we’re gonna make the most of These sunny days, perfect waves We fly so high yet the vibe it stays… Down to Earth… Simple life. Simple Love. Simple days I’m dreaming of. I choose this. Let go of that. Listen to the rhythm that’s where it’s at. Sun it rises. Moon it wanes. All we gotta do is step up and maintain. Bringing it up. Bringing it in. Feel suns rays falling on my skin and… Down to Earth…

Steps Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll A sense of space a sense of freedom A time and place a way of being Here with you. Only here with you A love supreme my whole world spins One night ends one day begins right here with you Only here with you A step I take A step I give to you A step I awake A step I live this truth A sense of peace a sense of knowing Trust in love I feel it growing Know the truth. Now I know the truth Glowing ember dancing flame draws us in it calls our name to live the truth. Only live the truth Chorus All those days spent wondering how it all will work out Sometimes searching far and wide only to be so close I face the dawn’s golden rays. Great Eastern Sun Shadows falling far behind me. The search is over A sense of ease, a sense of flowing Trust the breeze will keep on blowing Fill these sails. Not afraid to fail A step I take A step I give to you A step I awake A step I live this truth (repeat) With you

BEYOND THE SKY 04:17

Beyond the Sky Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll No words describe the feelings I’ve got today, What can I say? They’re not going away. I tried to turn and walk the other way. But with me they stay. Come what may. Surrounded by the vapours within cloud nine. Green ginger wine, the pleasures all mine. We fall from the sky for a second just to check the time. 11:59. Let the bells chime. I hope you know all the pleasure you bring. Through the visions that you see, and the images you sing. The world through your eyes is a beautiful thing. All the colours on the breeze on a butterfly wing. A butterfly wing you sing. We’re naked when we’re born. We don’t take nothin’ when we die. We will make it through the storms. We will soar beyond the sky, home. Home. Welcome to the next seven laps of the sun. Cycles begun. Return to the one. Been thinking about the beautiful things you’ve done. Motherly love, now the child has become. The stories that you tell go beyond your years. The canvas hears, mixed paint with tears. Hanging right there on the wall beyond your fears. I hope you know all the pleasure you bring. In the visions that you see and the images you sing. The world through your eyes is a beautiful thing. The colours on a breeze in a butterfly wing. In a butterfly wing you sing. We’re naked when we’re born. We don’t take nothin’ when we die. We will make it through the storms We will soar beyond the skies, home. Home.

I WANNA KNOW 08:08

I Wanna Know Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll I caught a glimpse of your lips on the incoming clouds singing the calm before the storm. I read your messages in the offshore mist that drifts and falls and alludes to your human form, so beautiful. I hear your dripping honey words in the songs of birds as they fly in from the sea, singing a sacred invitation to come and play out this divine union between you and me. I wanna know, where all the rainbows go. Do you know where all the rainbows go? (x2) Beyond the grey blue darkness and the rolling thunder lies the golden crimson of a love unknown. Free falling through a sunset spell that I’ve been under, on a flight path only Icarus has flown. And I see your silver lined intentions as I spin and fall through the blue, Feels like a train I might have missed that may never have arrived I’m still waiting to catch to you. I wanna know… Well I did not realize you travel as the flow cries amidst the blue, green, indigo and orange babe. Have I been loving a disguise? Well I’d like to think otherwise… But you and I both know that nothing rhymes with orange. Storms pass and skies clear to reveal hailstones melting in a patch of clover. I see four leaves pressed into a ball of ice so I know our good love carries over. I see your beckoning colours reaching down to the hills now replenished, so green and so fair, Blowing leaves like your hair just spinning in the breeze as you whisper, “ Yeah, I’ll meet you there…” Where? At the end of the rainbow I now sit surrounded by these colours that one can never hold. Now you know I love dearly, but now I sign off sincerely, Yours truly, One Pot of Gold. I wanna know, (I wanna know) where all the rainbows go, (I wanna know) Do you know, (I wanna know) where all the rainbows go. (I wanna know)

Golden Lyrics by Shannon Sol Carroll A piece of sugarcane ash sticks to my skin As another piece falls into the ocean Black ribbons fall twisting from a sweet golden cloud As the sun now be setting through it well I find myself thinking aloud These days are golden. These amazing moments just keep unfolding. Well these days are golden, golden, golden. Let go of all I’m holding onto. Yeah well I caught my reflection in a rock pool at low tide. Just like the fish in there, well, nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. I lay in the stillness. I just drift and glide. I’m feeling good things are coming and I just got to wait And swim away with the rising tide. These days are golden, golden, golden. I let go of all I’m holding onto. Yeah these days are golden, golden, golden. These amazing moments just keep unfolding. Let them flow. Yessah well moment to moment now I flow on to the next. Well life is so simple please don’t make it complex I fill my half full glass with a new context Now it’s overflowing now with a meniscus convex. Poetic licensees yes we rhyme with ease, Opening doors of perception ‘cause you know we got the keys universal In the moment no rehearsal these thoughts on the airwaves like seed dispersal. Fly, fly on. Fly on. Fly, fly on. Fly on. These days are golden, golden, golden. I just let go of all I’m holding onto. Yeah hey. Well these days are golden, golden, golden. These amazing moments just keep unfolding.

MINDS IN THE WATER 05:29

Minds in the water A circle of hearts and minds in the water, Brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, Come together to honour the oceans. We give our respects and offer these flowers, Bring on the dawn from the darkest hours, Shine on the light on the colours of these waters. Now is the time to know the minds in the water, Now is the time to hear the songs of the sea. Yes I believe that all life is equal, All that exists is not just for people, So we stand and defend as Our Planets Keepers, We make our future as we make our choices We have our two hands, two feet and our voices, Action speaks louder than word and thought, Future generations need our support. Well the time has come. The time has come. The time has come. The time has come. Rise up. The time has come. The time has come. The time has come. Yeah you and me. Now is the time. Come together. Come together.

They have now successfully forged a bond of sonic elements that represents their coastal roots and strikes a chord in the hearts of passionate music lovers around the globe. It's this quality that has lead to invitations to grace the stages of diverse festivals, at home and abroad, and to record soundtracks to several internationally released surf films.

Band of Frequencies 2012 album release ‘Rise like the Sun’ is a potent and honest collection of songs that speak volumes about their intriguing journey. Lead singer/songwriter Shannon Sol Carroll says “This album represents an evolution towards truth and a documentation of all the stages along the way. From devastating heartbreak, through escapism and self-protection into letting go, facing fears, stepping up and truly living whole-heartedly; this album is the most raw and complete reflection of life’s experiences I have ever written by far.”
