Venus Moon 04:53
Come with me, I will show you, you will see If you trust me, I will take you, we’ll be free Don’t you see that I will love you for all eternity When the flowers are in bloom and the sky’s beauty is our room We will sing together this golden tune We will sing together under our Venus Moon This golden tune Our Venus moon Our love is strong We belong together Come and see, my heart bleeds for you, everyday From the morning, to the evening, I’m in pain I do need you, need you to heal me, with your love and harmony (Don’t you know that) When the flowers are in bloom and the sky’s beauty is our room We will sing together this golden tune We will sing together under our Venus Moon This golden tune Our Venus moon Our love is strong We belong together This love wont be our broken (heart)

Into my life you came and we found love every hour Nothing can stop our love for each other There is no other You make me feel so good inside, I just want to sing! Doo doo doo doo doo doo I know I want you Doo doo doo doo doo doo I feel your love Doo doo doo doo doo doo I know I need you Doo doo doo doo doo doo I feel your love The sun set on the water, But the night’s still bright, the moons out tonight. Subdued by the light in your eyes I am bound to this love we’ve found You make me feel so good inside, I just want to sing! I like the way it feels, when I look into your eyes You are such a, such a sweet surprise I’m starting to see through your disguise I look into your eye’s and it makes me cry, cry…

I'm Free 04:18
Don’t grieve for me now I’m free I’m following the path god laid out for me I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and I left it all I’m Free I couldn’t stay one more day To laugh to love to rise above to work or play Tasks left undone they must stay that way I found my peace at the close of the day I’m Free Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you my love for all tomorrow My life’s been full I’ve savored so much Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch Maybe my time seemed to brief Don’t lengthen it now with this undue grief Lift up your heart and come share with me God wanted me now he has set me free I’m Free

So long and hard this life can be All for the love and the misery No right can make this right for free Take responsibility for what I have I’ve brought unto me It’s what keeps us alive This struggle you see Sometimes I feel like I can’t see Lead by my tongue to tastes so sweet So I push my self far away from me It hurts to have a weathered chest Though my heart beats strong and I will do my best It’s what keeps us alive This struggle you see It’s what keeps us alive This struggle you see

Blonde-eyed devil your words have caused me pain, But I’ve let them go now like a thunder storm drops it’s rain. Bruised little boy, you’ve used me, revealed your ways. I’m over you now! I won’t be your crutch and cane. Ungrounded haste, induced pain, screams that’s stained my mind Lost brother was it really worth it? Was it really something that you wanted to say? Did it make a difference to bring it up any way? Now it’s interfered and our friendship’s gone astray? Is there really nothing left for us to say? Ungrounded haste, induced pain, screams that’s stained my mind Lost brother was it really worth it? Let us not worry, breaking vow There will be no fight in the end There will be not fight with these tears I will not hate you, forgive I’ll try Let us remind ourselves that we both have needs. Let us remember the past that we bleed. Please don’t mistake me now you know we both must feed. But I will not pull you from the ground like a weed. Ungrounded haste, induced pain, screams that’s stained my mind Lost brother was it really worth it?

She wouldn’t see it, she couldn’t see if he was there Tears rolled down her flushed heated cheeks, she had lost his dawn No bright horizon, no dew drops in mourning, the air’s been dried She couldn’t see him, but she could feel that he was there Blinded by the sun that no longer shines The post comes on Tuesdays, but it seems it’s been delayed, so she stayed Closer to home, and near the phone waiting for a sign Her hope for arrival and her hope for survival became so clear Far from the now, for reasons untold she knew you were near Blinded by the sun that no longer shines No longer shines, No……. No longer shines No…… Just a son sedated by the norm He was hooked at the lip to a system of form. Tempted by the chance to dance with success He gave his voice for valor and nothing less Romanced by belligerence and burning rites He ended up just a pawn numbed by militant might He hauled indignity atop his saddle, just a war horse, carrying a rich mans’ rattle Now the son has set and darkness fell and mother’s has wept. She found lunacy and sorrow, lunacy and sorrow, knowing she’d be alone tomorrow She lies gazing at the moon in the haze She’s stuck in a still malaise In a still malaise In a still malaise With a wishing mind and a will to find he set off All other matters and mothers tearing patter slipped away He sauntered far and he swelled with temperance he thought there was time Now she’s all alone and she’s falling stoned, her eyes don’t lie Blinded by the sun that no longer shines No longer shines, no……. She lies gazing at the moon in the haze She’s stuck in a still malaise She lies gazing at the moon in the haze She’s stuck in a still malaise In a still malaise

Fly Away 03:43
I want to fly away I don’t like it here Been on a long, long trip, my heart beat it skipped But I will not die today cuz I will not stay I want to fly away I want to fly away I want to fly away Fly away I will not cry that day But I will be sad to leave, leave, leave Bet on a lass I did now my hearts gone and ripped I know it’s right anyway I cannot stay I want to fly away I want to fly away I want to fly away Fly away I can’t lie, betray So please don’t ask why I wave good-bye It’s time to take back my grip my roots are stripped It feels so good to say I’m on my way home I want to fly away I want to fly away I want to fly away Fly away

On Track 03:14
What happened to you my friend Living a life of pretend Where di you go? I thought I saw you show it was your time to grow Your chance to know and you threw it all away for her Your self inflicted Absolved in your comfort Dissolved in water On track again Keep trying to pretend it’s the end Derailed at the bend Your eyes were open Shocked and broken Despair set in you shout out you defend Clouded mind stop trying to find reasons Start looking within scour the depths of your soul Don’t sacrifice your self, reveal the new you Shocked and broken By your lovers end She’s gone away

Step into my floral office Smell the sweet aroma in the air Feel my eyes admire stemmed beauty, feel my stare Taste the heat in my wind and the salt that you wear I want you to breath me in Together we can live a little sin What’s the difference anyway? I want to give you a little of my love What's the difference anyway? I want to give you just a little of my love Stop making this so hard You know you want to meet me Accept the sign, stop acting blind, my love’s not hard to find Behind my glass doors lies the key, multi colored flowers for you and me I want you to drink me down & take me in Forever fill your vase with my gin (Where we lay… Each other… where we lay) It’s a conquest baby, I must have you my lady. With this pressure pounding on my chest, I can feel you and I know you’re the best. With the softest pedals and the sweetest caress, I want to give to you what I’ve never given the rest. I’ve been blessed, yet tested and misdirected by your ways. You’ve left me still, stuck, in a daze, always asking how to get out of this maze. Yet the salt from your brow still makes me scream and shout, shout. Blossom beauty you are my floral ruby. I’ll be your host, I’ll hold you close I won’t let you go, but I’ll let your grow. All the cares and comforts that you could expect. They’ll all be your if you just nibble my neck You’ve stepped into my floral office Why must you still make this so hard? You took my key, you watered me, and we quenched our thirst Please don’t ignore your needs. Lets feed each other until we burst Now I know you’re not too shy It’s for the best, stop asking why

Sugar Honey 05:13
Come with me, I’ll take my time It won’t be too long before you feel sublime. I’m feelin’ the heat, all through my spine Would you join me for a glass of wine? I’d like to bet that we wont have any regrets. Let us re-live the moment, the moment when we first met Sugar honey won’t you be my girl? You will see, this feeling right Love has come over me, I’m holdin’ on tight! Breath with me, like second nature Let us exist in effortless might We can build a fort, climb a tree, comb the sand While we walk hand and hand. Together we can remedy our emptiness And fill it with a sexy kiss! Sugar honey won’t you be my girl? You’re so sweet, in your absence I can still feel the blood runnin’ down to my feet Will you meet me on stormy nights? And seek shelter in each other’s rites? Together we can hibernate, contemplate With the power of love we will levitate Transcend to a new love, So pure we will rise above Sugar honey won’t you be my girl?

As One 09:45
As One We are coming together as one We are coming together as one And it feels so good So real it is, the need for union The seeds of love need watering And our lives need not be numbed down We are as one with this need for union, communion with the divine together intertwined we shine. With all the pain in the name of power people’s gain we need to stand strong and not let our bonds wane. We need to stop this oil bloodstain! This occupation of another peoples land can't continue to stand in our mothers and fathers hands. There is no way this fight is in the name of the one, the creator, he ain't no dictator. We need to stand together united in the light from above, united, united by compassion and love. People don't fail us now! Let us come together like the seeds of diversity in a wildflower meadow do sprout. Where the rolling hills where the numbers of beauty aren't measured in singularity and doubt. But in the whole, the collective, where cohesion mounts. We are coming together as one We are coming together as one And it feels so good

Tell me are livin’ Tell me how’d you give in I sure hope that you’re breathin’ I sure hope that you’re still dreamin’ Of what could be…. Tell me are drownin’ Tell me are you bound in Has time stood still, left you screamin’ Have the rhymes left chills remindin’ you… Of what could be…. Hear me this time Don’t slip through the cracks numbed and blind Feel the surge Let go give into all that you see Remember you are a part of what could be Tell me are you finally free Tell me how it feels to see what you see Is it all that you wanted to be Now that you’re livin’ in this harmony Of what you thought could not be…

Originally from Santa Rosa, CA, singer/songwriter and guitarist Ian Franklin performed with a variety of ensembles in the San Francisco area before moving to Boston. In 1995, Ian Franklin formed his first band, Gollum, a fusion, rock-funk and hip-hop group. The band found great success as one of the better local acts in Northern California from 1995-1998. Following this 3-year musical stint Franklin quickly grabbed onto another project called Cory's Slug and performed in the local music scene with them for 2 years. Following Cory's Slug, Franklin joined up with a separate power trio called Wish, an ambient tribal-rock group. In 2002, Wish released the album Full, culled from countless jam sessions in a WWII asbestos bombshell bunker in Santa Rosa, CA. One of Ian Franklin's most recent accomplishments to date is having his song,” Perfect World," selected as the title theme song for an incredible upcoming documentary entitled, "In A Perfect World - Listen To The Children." Ian Franklin has fine-tuned his skills through extensive study and training at Berklee College of Music along with years of live performing to create his very successful project Infinite Frequency.

THE DEBUT RECORD
What If…, Infinite Frequency's debut record, features an impressive and original collection composed by front man singer/songwriter and guitarist Ian Franklin. This work was recorded and mixed on analog tape by Joe Laquidara at Oak grove Studios in Malden, MA. What If… captures the sonic texture of Infinite Frequency's live performances. Ian Franklin chose to record on analog tape to ensure listeners the same passionate and dynamic experience that is an Infinite Frequency performance. What If… is a musical journey through Ian Franklin's life, touching on love, friendships, inspirations, joys, passions and pains. Franklin hopes that the album provides listeners with a distraction from their own lives, to enjoy life in the infinite expression of music. Just like the underlying theme of the album What If… the idea behind the band Infinite Frequency is a collective of members and their inspirations and aspirations. The vision behind Infinite Frequency's sound is to invite the masses into sharing a unified direction, a reformation of the way we live; the album ultimately calls for social change. With songs relating to all of life's ups and downs, fans can truly relate to their own lives through the musical experience the album provides.
