Bedlam Jackson

ABOUT

You’ve heard his work, but probably have no idea who he is. Over the last decade Taurees Habib has helped design the musical pallets of some of Hollywood’s biggest films. As lead sampling engineer for Hans Zimmer, Taurees has contributed to the sound of blockbusters from Man Of Steel to Interstellar.

The next stop on a journey that started in the underground music scene of Karachi, Pakistan, where he grew up, is his latest project Bedlam Jackson, a culmination of what he has picked up along the way. As writer, producer, engineer, and performer on the self titled Bedlam Jackson EP, Taurees has created a unique blend of dancy grooves, unapologetic guitars, electro-pop synths, and soulful vocals.

MISSING PIECES

Wasted, just a little bit
Get on, get on, get on
Shout 'till they can hear you
Play that song, play that song
You see through, but you think you've got it
You don't care if it ends
You're right, go live it, go live it, come on 

But I won't talk about missing pieces, I won't talk about it
I won't talk about missing pieces, I won't talk about it
I won't tell you what's missing, she said I won't talk about it
I won't tell you what's missing, she said I won't talk about it 

But all we want is a little bit of everything, all we want is a taste
All we're on is a little bit of everything, keeping us awake
All we want is a little bit of everything, all we want is a taste
All we're on is a little bit of everything, keeping us awake 

Move on to another place
Alone, alone, alone
Looking for another face
You know, you know, you know
Forgetful we're stronger
How it goes with you all depends
Get by, repeat it, repeat it, come on 

But I won't talk about missing pieces, I won't talk about it
I won't talk about missing pieces, I won't talk about it
I won't tell you what's missing, she said I won't talk about it
I won't tell you what's missing, she said I won't talk about it 

But all we want is a little bit of everything, all we want is a taste
All we're on is a little bit of everything, keeping us awake
All we want is a little bit of everything, all we want is a taste
All we're on is a little bit of everything, keeping us awake 

I won't talk about missing pieces, I won't talk about it
I won't talk about missing pieces, I won't talk about it
I won't tell you what's missing, she said I won't talk about it
I won't tell you what's missing, she said I won't talk about it 

But all we want is a little bit of everything, all we want is a taste
All we're on is a little bit of everything, keeping us awake
All we want is a little bit of everything, all we want is a taste
All we're on is a little bit of everything, keeping us awake

SET YOU OFF

They say you'll never get older if you never did try
To take the weight on your shoulders 'till you're buried alive
Nothing could set you right, always looking for a way out
Nothing could set you right, and you're trying to escape now 

Were you and I living for real? 
Set you off and repeat
Were you and I living for real? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 
It don't matter to me, It don't matter to me 

They say you'll never see danger if you're feeling alright
It looks a little bit stranger when you open your eyes
Nothing could set you right, always looking for a way out
Nothing could set you right, and you're trying to escape now 

Were you and I living for real? 
Set you off and repeat
Were you and I living for real? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 
It don't matter to me, It don't matter to me 

Who will learn from us? Who will learn from us? 
Who will learn from us? Hey, yeah, yeah
Who will learn from us? Who will learn from us? 
Who will learn from us? Hey, yeah, yeah 

Were you and I living for real? 
Set you off and repeat
Were you and I living for real? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 
It don't matter to me, It don't matter to me 

Were you and I living for real? 
Set you off and repeat
Were you and I living for real? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 
It don't matter to me, It don't matter to me

IN THE NIGHT

Started out a lie, we were living machines
Believing that was enough
Now we're cold and mindless, living out broken dreams
And we've got no plans to wake up 

But all this time there's no way we could fake it
We've been at it for so long, at it for so long
All this time there's no way we could break
It's been a habit for so long, habit for so long 

Because we all look so different in the night
Yeah we all look so different when we're not trying to live right
But this ain't home, and we don't know
That we all look so different in the night 

Shout until you're right, until we know what you mean
Though you've never had much to say
Now we run and hide like we were born to pretend
Oh we all do it the same 

But all this time there's no way we could fake it
We've been at it for so long, at it for so long
All this time there's no way we could break
It's been a habit for so long, habit for so long 

Because we all look so different in the night
Yeah we all look so different when we're not trying to live right
But this ain't home, and we don't know
That we all look so different in the night 

All this time there's no way we could fake it
We've been at it for so long, at it for so long
All this time there's no way we could break
It's been a habit for so long, habit for so long 

All this time there's no way we could fake it
We've been at it for so long, at it for so long
All this time there's no way we could break
It's been a habit for so long, habit for so long 

Because we all look so different in the night
Yeah we all look so different when we're not trying to live right
But this ain't home, and we don't know
That we all look so different in the night

BROKEN BONES

Hear you coming down like a lonely rain
I would stay for you, but it never changes
It's hard to say, but you know it's true
And these broken bones, these broken bones won't let me move
These broken bones, these broken bones won't let me move 

Hear you coming back, this storm again
Wandering, wandering until you found your way in
And I've almost tried to tell you that I've got to leave you soon
But these broken bones, these broken bones won't let me move
These broken bones, these broken bones won't let me move 

Do you still believe that the words that you spoke
To the devil you know, not the devil you don't
Could bring us home with something new? 
It's harder to listen to, but in all fairness
Our love for delusion's forgone self-awareness 

When you're tired of believing
There's something you're not seeing
They'll never let you think that it was true
Yeah you're down, but you're not sleeping
You're just staring at the ceiling
And these broken bones, these broken bones won't let you move
These broken bones, these broken bones won't let you move 

Hear you coming down like a lonely rain
I would stay for you, but it never changes
When you're tired of believing
There's something you're not seeing
They'll never let you think that it was true
Now it's time, I must be leaving
But I'm just staring at the ceiling
And these broken bones, these broken bones won't let me move
These broken bones, these broken bones won't let me move
