earth 05:00 video
We're lost in suspension But you make me feel like home If the ending is coming Then I don’t want to know Baby what were the chances That we would make it this far Do you love the circumstances or what we are? Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth? Too close for discomfort You knew me at first sight I’ve been trying to read you When I look in your eyes We could stay here forever Live our lives on the moon I don’t want to go back, if it means losing you Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth? Maybe we weren’t meant to come back down Down to earth Maybe we weren’t meant to come back down Down to earth Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth? Will you love me back on earth?

home 03:57
I found a place pastel and electric Sherbert skies over cold hard edges It’s not perfect but it feels like heaven Paradise lost back when we were together I’ll be there before you know it Close your eyes and dream of me I’ll be there when you wake up There's only an ocean in between At night we live loud sipping drinks on the beach With the dolphins and sirens singing to the seas When the sun goes down it s so magestic All the pretty lights look like stars reflected I’m not myself when you’re not with me We're racing our cars down electric streets You’re my holy grail, my only fantasy I’ll be there before you know it Close your eyes and dream of me I’ll be there when you wake up Theres only an ocean in between I’ve been sleeping in a different city Where nothing sparkles, there’s nothing pretty My heart can’t walk on these narrow roads Since I saw you, you made me grow I’ll be there before you know it Close your eyes and dream of me I’ll be there when you wake up There's only an ocean in between There's only there's only there's only an ocean In between There's only there's only an ocean In between

free 03:21
You came walking Through waters and rivers You came crawling underground Just to be here To be yourself And most at all To be free They could never contain you They were trying to tame you But you kept going cuz you're unafraid And you've been hurt You've been falling You've been fighting All alone And noone was looking When you were winning When you were slaying Dragons blindfolded Just to be here To be yourself And most at all To be free They could never contain you They were trying to tame you But you kept going cuz you re unafraid And you know you re not alone You re one of so many Numbers uncounted all fighting for pride Just to be here To be yourself And most at all To be free They could never contain you They were trying to tame you But you kept going cuz you're unafraid They could never contain you They were trying to tame you But you kept going cuz you're unafraid

nothing 03:34
Nothing makes sense And all is stupid I lost all hope There's nothing I can do I've been worthless From the moment I was born No one loved me And all abused me I never stood a chance Oh the stars they are turning And the fire is burning I don t know what to do Where to go But it's alright Oh the stars they are turning And the fire is burning I don't know who I am And I m afraid But it's alright Every step I took was in vain And everything I did turned dark I have been tossed about Never knowing what was going on Never knew what to do I never owned myself So I couldn't act I had never learnt to be myself I couldn't even think Left alone is all I have Left alone is all I know Left alone and I'll come through Left alone in my head Oh the stars they are turning And the fire is burning I don't know what to do Where to go But it's alright Oh the stars they are turning And the fire is burning I don't know who I am And I'm afraid But it's alright Oh the stars they are turning And the fire is burning I don't know what to do Where to go But it's all right Oh the stars they are turning And the fire is burning I don t know who I am And I'm afraid But its all right

about

bayes features 5 live-coded creatures, which are one by one set free into the digital algorithmic universe.

"One foot in the virtual world, Lou explores frontier tech with ease. Unlike ageworn steel-driving-man anxieties about mechanical colonization, the speculative folklore of bayes collides the woman and machine myth to release an abundance of fusion energy. Here, the future fits like a glove. Anxieties are reserved, instead, for struggles with more ancient adversaries, embedded in the limbic, the DNA.

From "home" to "nothing," the multidirectional transmissions unspool like anchorless lines wavering across a boundless sphere. The song cycle - as linear as it is circular - descends into the core of human emotion as it drifts into uncharted nonbeing."

-Rick Weaver

"Bayes tells stories of a girl in the future, who is partly physical, partly virtual and trying to find her quest.
I wrote and produced this album over the past three years, travelling in between L.A. and Berlin, meeting amazing people and making new friends along the way, most of which are represented in his work in one way or another. [Compare huge credit section].
Most of the production happened in 2019 though, when I was recording all the music and vocals in July 2019 in Berlin."

- Byrke Lou
