Impetuosity Of Youth V. When I was younger There are things in life that I would come to understand I took for granted Every opportunity at my command My mind is stronger Than it’s ever been before and now I see the light I can’t imagine Life without a chance for me to make it right Day and night we’re challenging time to obey Insisting that we get just one more day Just to say what we’ve learned along the way Here we are These moments are all that we have Remembering all of those memories Good or bad As we march forever more [Scat adlib] V [prime]. When I was younger [younger] There are things in life that I would come to understand I took for granted [granted] Every opportunity at my command [‘mand] My mind is stronger [stronger] Then it’s ever been before and now I see the light I can’t imagine [‘magine] Life without a chance for me to make it right [right…] 1st H. Day and night we’re challenging time to obey Insisting that we get just one more day Just to say what we’ve learned along the way Here we are These moments are all that we have Remembering all of those memories Good or bad As we march forever more [Synth Solo] 2nd H. Impetuosity of youth reveals How life can show us all Impetuosity of youth is real Before we rise, we fall Impetuosity of you reveals How life can carve our days Impetuosity of youth is real We all must find our way

Perfect Storm V1. Something in the air Now a threat to everyone All across the world Social distance has begun People trapped inside As the days go by and by Systematic crimes Protected by design H. We stand unified Demanding the truth when justice is denied We won’t step aside Until we are seen as humans in their eyes This time, it’s on This is the perfect storm Revolution conquers all The writing’s on the wall V2. We the people stand Ready to put up a fight Punishment awaits For the law that takes our life Evidence reveals There is more than meets the eye We cannot pretend That something isn’t right H. We stand unified Demanding the truth when justice is denied We won’t step aside Until we are seen as humans in their eyes This time, it’s on This is the perfect storm Revolution conquers all The writing’s on the wall [Repeat] B. Stand up and fight For what is right We won’t back down Standing our ground H. We stand unified Demanding the truth when justice is denied We won’t step aside Until we are seen as humans in their eyes This time, it’s on This is the perfect storm Revolution conquers all The writing’s on the wall [Ooo]

Painfully V1. In my heart, you were mine I will cherish all these moments that we left behind You are gone, far from me Our entanglement feels like a distant memory [Refrain] Hard for me, to see the world without you in my life Painfully, I understand the reason for goodbye V2. My first born lives in you And I don’t exactly know what you intend to do Tensions rise, everyday Our emotions boiling over as we break away [Refrain] Hard for me, to see the world without you in my life Painfully, I understand the reason for goodbye [Ooooo] Hard for me, to see the world without you in my life Painfully, I understand the reason for goodbye

about

The 8th album, and the first 'self-titled' project in the discography.

In the tradition of crossing the various genre streams, this album is a culmination of the signature, eclectic style that is prominent throughout all of the W.K albums. The influence of various artist yields nods to legendary acts such as: Stevie Wonder, EWF (Earth, Wind, and Fire), Gino Vannelli, Level 42, and Jeff Lorber...while also giving reference to the undersold influences of the W.K rock realm: Van Halen, Toto, Yes, and Rush to name a few.

This is the only album to date that is solely performed from front to back by W.K, without any other musicians or featured artists. Each song/composition is reflective of actual situations, reflections, and connections. All songs recorded during the quarantine period of 2020 [March-June]. The eldest composition, "Kingdom" was written in 2002, while the most current song, "Painfully" was written on 21 Sept 2020 (11p).
