One Dream 03:51
Chorus; There's only one dream that I have over again I have many things that I have wanted But there's only one dream that I have over and again Verse: Heaven knows all about cause and reaction You see a man with no dream Is a man throwing caution to the wind It's as though there's a storm hanging over me Come to take me away As though I have no control Chorus: Only one dream that I have over again I have many things that I have wanted There's only one dream that I have over and again Verse: I know how to enjoy the simple things here in life I am drawn to knowledge I want to know you I'm drawn to better knowing myself Bridge: Every time I get closer, it feels like I'm holding the truth Every time. Then it goes. And slips right through my fingers Go chasing a fantasy You know the feeling When you just want to be nice and close with a passion Chorus: There's only one dream Every waking hour There's only e dream that I have 'till I open my eyes I have many things. Not much I have needed

Rock On 04:43
Verse: Place a flame for the man as he stands at the intro. Ain't getting through no pearly gates down under. I'm that colour you love to hate. No lesson learnt 'till he cried, cause he tried and he crashed and burned. I drove through wicked. Threw it back to reverse and let rubber burn back over that sucker like I had a need to know Even Oprah sayin' everything as it is and how you seeing it is how it's all supposed to be. Hear what I'm saying unless you're deaf blind and dumb. Propaganda got us all proper fucked. Chorus: Rock up and rock on. Here we come, to let loose. (x2) Verse: I paint a picture all you're seeing is hate mate. And that;s the history of our country of late. Careful how you step to me, careful how you bring, careful what you're wishing for. Wishing to be a citizen, ain't no better once upon a time than now, as it goes a little something like this. See the children of our next gen same old game just in different names. See what you bring is you bringing us undone. A fairytale, with no happy ever after. It about greed, money and the power, and it always end in a war. In a war. If anything I would begin it again. We ain't talking about time. Talking about rights, talking about lies, talking about life, talking about I. Talking about I and I. Chorus: Yeah we rock. So rock on. Here we come. To the present we come. Yes we come to let loose. Here we come. Here we come, here we come. Break Down: Rock up. Rock on. Rock up up on now Chorus: Rock up. Rock on. Rock up up on now (x4)

Verse: It's been a long time coming my way Cried alone died alone Always living in hope and made another mistake After all that's been said and done I've been living for you Chorus: This here could be all that I have ever wanted This here could be all that I would ever need Verse 2: Cycle keeps on going around As much as I fight I keep falling down I need to keep getting up I start to think that something ain't right It should not be like this I feel something's amiss Chorus: This time it could be all that I have ever wanted This here could be all that I would ever need Bridge: Fool to think one thing could solve The challenges that keep on coming our way For it's never one thing This I've found the hard way So I'll keep searching. I'll keep searching on It's been a long time looking for truth I'm getting older, my children are grown, and I still learn things I feel I should have known Chorus: This here could be all that I have ever wanted This could be all that I would ever need This here could be all that I have ever wanted This could be all that I would ever need

Talk To Me 03:22

There seems to be a way that things are done. Seeing that the done ways of things needs to be held accountable for creating imbalance. Making a stand, taking action. Making decisions not to walk the path most trodden. Walking away from the footsteps of man.

Footsteps 03:50
Verse: Walking away from the footsteps of man, change has come today. We've hung on to hope for far too long. Time has come when we're walking away. All in the name of someone trying to do right in the footsteps of man. I keep on falling. See I know my name but don't know who I am. So I keep on walking in the footsteps of man. Chorus: Walking away from the footsteps of man, change has come today. We've hung on to hope for far too long. Time has come when we're walking away. Pat Mau Verse: We gaze through a different mirror You see true colours I see grey clearer My mind's at war, self destruction's nearer I heard that change starts within that mirror Look to find your own written path Through tracks be laid by dirty feet of past Young diss the journey so let's will the quest For without struggle there be no progress Identify no pandana life And I was raised to walk my peoples pride No lessons learnt if you no even try There is no change if you now will to fight right Chorus: Walking away from the footsteps of man, change has come today. We've hung on to hope for far too long. Time has come when we're walking away.

Ooweee 03:58
My mind wants you. Torn by the need to want to do what's right. I feel I'm going crazy. Verse: Sometimes I enjoy being led astray Treated like a toy Who'd have thought that it mattered Ever mattered at all Caught up in a moment Standing up again to fall Chorus: Oooh wee if I did not know better Oooh wee I would be all over you Oooh wee like it never mattered Ever mattered at all Verse: Sometimes it enters my mind. All of my might, heart and the soul. I'm starting to go. Going somewhere, taking control What I can do Chorus: Oooh wee if I did not know better Oooh wee I would be all over you Oooh wee like it never mattered Ever mattered at all Verse: Shining through. Like one in a million. Suddenly there is something that means Something to me. Chorus: Oooh wee if I did not know better Oooh wee I would be all over you Oooh wee like it never mattered Ever mattered at all Outro: Oooh wee Oooh wee Oooh wee if I did not know better like it never mattered, ever mattered at all Self control Oooh wee Oooh wee Oooh wee I would be all over you Oooh wee Oooh wee Oooh wee going beyond

High Times 04:47
Verse: I had hopes that I would some day be able to turn around Never mind me. What about others? Even still, what of the young? Such a pity there's so much missing, so we chase to be fulfilled Convinced of lifestlyes of the supernatural Chorus: High times are over. Verse: Heavy into it for so long, its as though my soul is apart from me Eat sleep and breath with a greed, with an urge to satisfy those needs Separated from my learnings, been convinced that what we have is it Torn apart by my need for the truth. Now it makes no sense to me Chorus: High times are over. These high times are over BD: These high times are over Taking it right back. Right down. Back to reality. Chorus: High times are over. These high times are over Outro: Oh we're not feeling right... the trumpets! Blaring inside Started off all good Think it is magic... unrealistic The stories we've locked in For our lost friends.

about

From hip-hop roots to soulful social statement, Radical Son’s debut album Cause & Affect is both potent and sublime. It conjures uncompromising visions and merciless lyrics of where we’ve come from and what could be. After an incredible transformational life journey; one that every man can relate to, yet would never chose to go through, Radical Son re-emerges as Australia’s own big black soul man with a capital M.

Cause & Affect will take the listener on a sonic journey of contemplation providing thought provoking content and insightful message. It’s reggae-esque, dub, soul and classic R’n’B influences and all round great grooves will appeal to those with a penchant for the likes of Fat Freddy's Drop, Amy Winehouse and dare we say it, Messrs Gaye and White. Since the album’s release, the band have enjoyed high rotation on Australian national broadcast radio ABC Triple J and Double J; have featured regularly on National Indigenous TV (NITV); headlined a sold out show in Melbourne as part of the Australasian Worldwide Music Festival (AWME); performed at festivals such as the Brunswick Music Festival, Moomba, Contemporary Pacific Arts Festival, Sydney Festival, NAIDOC Week, Spirit Festival, Rivers to Recognition festival, as well as tours with the legendary Archie Roach. In 2015, the band were nominated for both Best Music Video (Human Behaviour) and Best Cover Art (Cause ‘N Affect) at the National Indigenous Music Awards, for which they won the award for best cover art.
