I WONDER
An’ I wonder
Have you ever tried
And you could see your life
From the other side?
An’ you can be so beautiful
And bright
But all you wanna do
is live your life
Hate can break a thousand lives
And more
Only love can stop it
Coz it’s pure
To break the darkness
There’s no easy way
When there is no one
That you can blame
An’ I wonder???...
An’ I wonder???...
An’ I wonder
If you’ve ever cried?
An’ you could live your life
In another time
You could make your wrongs
Turn out all right
An’ you could run beside
An’ join the fight
Now hate can break a thousand lives
And more
Only love can stop it
Coz it’s pure
To break the darkness
There’s no easy way
When there’s no one there
For you to blame
Ohhh ohhh etc
An’ I wonder
If you’ve ever lied
To look in your life
Things you want to hide
You could be so fanciful
And light
But all you wanna do
is save your life
Hate can break a thousand lives
And more
Coz only love can stop it
Coz it’s pure
To break this darkness
There’s no easy way
When there is no one
That you could blame
An’ I wonder
An’ I wonder
An’ I wonder
An’ I wonder
If you’ve ever tried
You could change your life
In this boring time
You can be so powerful
And right
But all you have to do
Is to decide!
Hate can break a thousand lives
And more
Only love can stop it
Coz’ it’s pure
To break the darkness
There’s no easy way
When there’s no-one left
For you to blame
ohh ohh ohhh etc
An’ I wonder…

I Wonder, is the next chapter taken from the highly praised Life Everywhere album on MFS, by Alanas Chosnau & Mark Reeder.
As our modern World seemingly spirals out of control, it appears we are continuously willing to hand over the reigns of power to ever more narcistic politicians, who have only their own business interests at heart.
Well, we might work in a business, but we certainly don’t live in one.
Day to day life is already a struggle without someone making it worse.
Instead of squandering millions on vanity projects, or wasting billions on waging war, surely all that creativity and money could be spent on making our World a happier place for us all?
Imagine a well-balanced future World, where ALL the leaders actually cared for the well-being of the people they governed.
Life everywhere, could be so different.
I Wonder imagines what a despot, or tyrant should be thinking as they lie to their supporters and the populations who pin their hopes on their office.
This song is a message to all self-centred power-hungry people, dictators, demagogues, tyrants and oppressors.
A reminder that by spreading love instead of hate, we can live in a far better, brighter and beautiful World.

I also produced the STOLEN Fragment album and I released it on MFS. STOLEN are a great band from Chengdu, spearheading the sound of young China with their super, surrealistic sinographic style. Alanas Chosnau & Mark Reeder
Zachery paints a prophetic picture of a dystopian New York with this album. It's rough around the edges, but it is exactly that which gives its charm. No frills... just fear. Alanas Chosnau & Mark Reeder
Jennifer displays her more experimental side with this album after her retropoppy Chemistry single. It's well worth the listen though, as it shows how diverse she is. Alanas Chosnau & Mark Reeder
