3 Minutes Music & Lyrics by Karen Langley and Rob Williams
25 chains, some locks and a rope, a lead lined chest and a sliver of hope….
I’ve done it before, I’ve done it before, in time and with zeal, I’ll do it again!
Most think it’s a hoax, but it’s painfully real; now comes the plunge, through the bubbling water….
They think I am lost, like a lamb to the slaughter! Three minutes I have to break free of the bonds…the silence awaits me, pushing me hard, pushing me hard to the bottom.
Tight lungs I cannot contract! My pain is part of the act.
My mind is still as the lock is opened; a spiritual freedom that takes only seconds, only seconds….
Three minutes I have, 3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have to unlock my chains…..3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have to unlock my chains and get to freedom!
I surface, to meet the applause that beckons – clap,clap,clap,clap,clap,clap,clap….
It’s better to breathe; it’s better to breathe and dive again another time.
It’s better to breathe; it’s better to breathe and dive again another time – listen to the waves lapping against the sides!
Be careful of the hubris that kills you; be careful of the hubris that will kill you; be careful of the hubris will kill you; be careful of the hubris that will kill you!!!!
It’s better to breathe, it’s better to breathe and dive again another time,
It’s better to breathe, it’s better to breathe and dive again another time…..
25 chains, some locks and a rope, a lead lined chest and a sliver of hope….
I’ve done it before, I’ve done it before, in time and with zeal, I’ll do it again!
Most think it’s a hoax, but it’s painfully real; now comes the plunge, through the bubbling water….
They think I am lost, like a lamb to the slaughter! Three minutes I have to break free of the bonds…the silence awaits me, pushing me hard, pushing me hard to the bottom.
Tight lungs I cannot contract! My pain is part of the act.
My mind is still as the lock is opened; a spiritual freedom that takes only seconds, only seconds….
Three minutes I have, 3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have to unlock my chains…..3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have, 3 minutes I have to unlock my chains and get to freedom!
I surface, to meet the applause that beckons – clap,clap,clap,clap,clap,clap,clap….
It’s better to breathe; it’s better to breathe and dive again another time.
It’s better to breathe; it’s better to breathe and dive again another time – listen to the waves lapping against the sides!
Be careful of the hubris that kills you; be careful of the hubris that will kill you; be careful of the hubris will kill you; be careful of the hubris that will kill you!!!!
It’s better to breathe, it’s better to breathe and dive again another time,
It’s better to breathe, it’s better to breathe and dive again another time…..

Paul Rote surely has a point. It's absolutely amazing how many good things prog are coming from Norway. I already have many of the songs features in this compilation in my collection (be it Bandcampy digital or old-schooly physical formats), but for sheer sympathy I couldn't pass this NYP offer. If you're a prog fan and haven't noticed the Norwegian prog scene yet (er, is that possible?) check it out. Definitely! And this is a great starting point...

An enjoyable & interesting collection of prog rock. Nice introduction to many artists I’d not heard before, & a reminder to dig a little deeper into the music of others I’ve only scratched the surface of. Salva, the band who sings my favourite song on here, sounds a lot like the band Grand Tour. 7.5/10.
