10 to 5, tired eyes, wish this day would end The red light shining bright through my windscreen, then To my side, your eyes wide and it's hard to tell Are you lost, are you found and how can I help? I see you, do you see me? I see you, what is your story? Chorus: You're just a pavement soul, was it always your goal? You're just a pavement soul, was it always your goal? You're just a pavement soul, was it always your goal? You're just a pavement soul, was it always your goal? I see you, do you see me? What is the story, is this your dream? Chapters from in the past, the ones that matter Do the memories last? Did you make them shatter? Are you somebody's child? A sister or brother? Are you a friend? With a father and mother? Assume and accuse, must drown you all the time I carry the guilt myself, whilst you carry the sign The streets your home, with guests unknown Was it always your dream? Was it always your goal? Choices made, you made your own To see this world, as a pavement soul I'd love to find out, what it is you're all about I'd love to find out, what it is you're all about

about

The 2nd single by Chris Massey's new Thief Of Time project sees him continue to travel an electronic pathway and to reflect on personal experiences & significant chapters from his own life and the characters that have been present, all done with a spaced out, cosmic and almost cinematic soundscape as he further flexes his skills within the studio and with guest Manchester artists along for the ride!

Pavement Soul is written about individuals seen regularly in a local location to Chris whom would sit on the pavement by a retail park with a sign asking for any spare change. As Chris said, 'I would see the same regular guy by the lights near our house and would always wonder about his life and his background, where he had come from, what choices he had made and if he had family who were aware of his current whereabouts. Whatever the answer, it's a seemingly sad existence that I don't think anybody sets out to achieve, or maybe they do?'

The resulting track is an electronic-funk-mutant pop attack on the senses which features an incredible vocal & lyrics by Manchester based artist & performer NIIX who brings an angelic ethereal presence. A Certain Ratio's Donald Johnson features on bass guitar along with additional synth stabs & squeaks by bandmate Martin Moscrop all alongside uplifting pads, glitchy beats & synth programming by Massey.

The track will also be tied into The Mayor's Charity and will see a donation from initial sales go towards tackling Manchester's homeless crisis.
