One Life 04:41
Sure as a river flows into the sea Nothing really can take you away from me Nothing real can be threatened and love can’t be denied Though I have tried, I have tried... One love, one truth, one moon, one sun No one in this world can take this all away from me One life, one chance, I’ve just begun To discover secrets held for all eternity I have stared into the blackest souls Shared my life with those who tried to make me less than whole They pulled me down and thought my love could be denied I have cried, I have cried... One love, one truth, one moon, one sun No one in this world can take this all away from me When I look around what do I see? See the beauty in this world or darkness around me? Every day brings a choice and it’s me who’s in control To be whole, to be whole... One love, one truth, one moon, one sun No one in this world can take this all away from me One life, one chance, I’ve just begun To discover secrets held for all eternity

Here you are from another lifetime A gift from my past Together so fleetingly Something that didn’t last Now you are here again Lying so near again A bittersweet irony You feel like the one Precious love so soon packed away Precious love borrowed from our yesterdays I feel so lost before you came I’d given up on life and love You awoke me from this empty nothingness Told my soul not to give up I want you here again I need you near again This bittersweet irony Could you be the one? All we have is this borrowed time Stolen moments of a love that isn’t mine This bittersweet irony Won’t you say you’ll be the one? What a fool I was to walk away from love What a fool and now I just can’t get enough This bittersweet irony Won’t you say you’ll be the one? Can I believe that we will have our day Give me hope that we will find a way This bittersweet irony...

Travelling light I was going nowhere No end in sight on a long and lonely road Nothing but miles of barren land An endless night, no hope of morning No glimpse of light to make the darkness disappear No one to take me by the hand Then you appear and you turn my life around I lost my fear and in a moment I was found You touch me, I’m falling deep within your heart There’s no turning back, I felt this from the start We can rise in love, ascend to higher ground There’s no turning back, with you I’m homeward bound Heat of the night, all our passion burning You brought the light and made the darkness disappear When you took me by the hand This feels so right and I can’t help believing I’ve reached the end of this long and lonely road And finally I understand When you are near I open up, I can feel Everything seems possible, everything seems real You touch me, I’m falling deep within your heart There’s no turning back, I felt this from the start We can rise in love, ascend to higher ground There’s no turning back, with you I’m homeward bound

Should have known right from the start That your sweet words were empty works of art You’re cold, so cold Did you mean anything you said? Now that you, you have climbed inside my head You’re cold, so cold Empty promises Empty Lies Now that you have removed your disguise You’re cold, so cold You walked away into the night Didn’t look back ‘til you were out of sight You’re cold, so cold What goes on inside your head? You brought me to life and now you leave me dead You’re cold, so cold Empty promises Empty Lies Now that you have removed your disguise You’re cold, so cold You brought the fire to my heart Passion burns and now you tear me apart You’re cold, so cold I overdosed on your sweet love Now I’m addicted, you’ve had enough You’re cold, so cold Empty promises Empty Lies Now that you have removed your disguise You’re cold, so cold

Walk Away 04:01
Walking in this empty night, alone here in the rain Feels like I have lost this fight and I won’t be back again All the things, you said to me, rebounding in my head You said you wanted to be free, to be alone instead Walk away Walk away Walk away Just another love gone wrong we’ve both been here before Another tired, worn cliché, you leave me wanting more I was dreaming into things that were never on your mind I never thought this day would bring the night to leave behind Walk away Walk away Walk away Take my anger, take my shame, I’ll leave them just for you Walk away with love’s bad name, now you and I are through Walk away with bitterness, walk away with pride Walk away with loneliness and tears you’ve yet to cry Walk away Walk away Walk away Walk away Walk away Just walk away

Higher Love 03:41
When the night is never ending and the world is closing in Hope is gone, there’s no pretending And you don’t know where to begin When your pain is getting stronger and you feel you can’t go on Can’t go on like this no longer No longer where you belong Just when you feel like giving up and you feel all hope is gone Open your heart Can you feel the love? Can you feel that the love is strong? Higher love Higher love Higher love I was feeling broken hearted Everything I loved was gone Everywhere I looked was heartache I didn’t want to carry on I didn’t have no one to turn to Didn’t have nowhere to go Except a place held deep inside me Stronger than I could ever know Just when you feel like giving up and you feel all hope is gone Open your heart Can you feel the love? Can you feel that the love is strong? Higher love Higher love Higher love Just when you feel like giving up and you feel all hope is gone Open your heart Can you feel the love? Can you feel that the love is strong? Higher love Higher love Higher love Open your heart, can you feel the love?

Shadow 03:50
Now you’re gone I can breathe again Now you’re gone I can’t believe That I could fall so easy How I made you everything to me I should’ve seen the signs before me And the writing on the wall I should have never shrunk to fit you To enter into your world so small Something changed, re-arranged Something’s lost but nothing’s gained No! I let the dark surround me When you pulled me to your shadow How could I be so careless? To leave with you all my hope and dreams No happy ever after No hope for us tomorrow You really couldn’t care less You have killed love again it seems Now you’re gone I can see the light For you were standing in my way You really could have had it all But you had to throw it all away Now you’re gone I can see the truth That you were only held by fear You will never let another Close enough to ever shed a tear Single minded, I was blinded You walked away with nothing to say No! I let the dark surround me When you pulled me to your shadow How could I be so careless? To leave with you all my hope and dreams No happy ever after No hope for us tomorrow You really couldn’t care less You have killed love again it seems

Another heart will love you as I do And after you have put them through The sky highs and the depths so low That they have nowhere else to go but far away from you (far away from you) Another heart will walk away yet still hold onto yesterday And the moments that you shared (moments that you shared) Another heart will keep looking back Another heart won’t face the fact that you never really cared (never really cared) Tell me how do you live with yourself? (with yourself) Tell me how do you live with yourself? (How do you live? How do you live? How do you live with yourself?) Another heart will try too hard Another heart you’ll disregard and throw into the air (throw into the air) Another heart will stay too long Left wondering where it all went wrong When there was nothing there (there was nothing there) Another heart will hold your ghost when it loses what it loves the most Haunted by a lie (Haunted by your lie) Another heart will bruise not break when it sees all it believed was fake When all its’ tears are dry (all its’ tears are dry) Tell me how do you live with yourself? Tell me how do you live with yourself? Tell me how do you live with yourself? (How do you live? How do you live? How do you live with yourself?) (How do you live? How do you live? How do you live with yourself?)

Ritual 03:41
One year on Nothing but tainted memory You’re long gone Into a place that used to be Burn the past and all that wasn’t meant to last Time to cleanse my soul Rewind, erase, destroy the place you held in me Time to make it whole (Ritual) I sacrificed too much time on you (Ritual) Free my mind, got to make it through the flames (Ritual) Cleanse my soul and make me whole again (Ritual) Forget I ever met you or even knew your name No! Wasted time You’re just a stain on my heart A bad design That never fit right from the start I was blinded by your kindness and a love that you could not sustain (You talked the talk, you couldn’t walk the walk) You’ve moved on and now you’re gone, an emptiness You’ve left nothing but pain (Ritual) I sacrificed too much time on you (Ritual) Free my mind, got to make it through the flames (Ritual) Cleanse my soul and make me whole again (Ritual) Forget I ever met you or even knew your name No! (Ritual) I sacrificed too much time on you (Ritual) Free my mind, got to make it through the flames (Ritual) Cleanse my soul and make me whole again (Ritual) Forget I ever met you or even knew your name No!
10.
Put aside your fear and cast away your doubt Just close your eyes and dare to dream Don’t believe that it all could end in tears Nothing is ever what it seems (You’ve gotta love) Love for the sake of love There are no second chances (Love) Love for the sake of love Love won’t let you go Some may say that nothing good will last forever And they say there is no ‘one’ Some may say that no one ever stays together It’s always over before begun (You’ve gotta love) Love for the sake of love There are no second chances (Love) Love for the sake of love Love won’t let you go (Love) Love for the sake of love Go find where your romance is (Love) Love for the sake of love ‘Til love is all you know (I believe, love won’t let you go) (I believe, I believe, I believe, love won’t let you go) I believe that you are waiting somewhere for me That every heartbreak leads the way When I have fallen, I rise up to all I will be To the hope in a new day (You’ve gotta love) Love for the sake of love There are no second chances (Love) Love for the sake of love Love won’t let you go (Love) Love for the sake of love Go find where your romance is (Love) Love for the sake of love ‘Til love is all you know

about

Modovar's long overdue second album 'Of Uncertain Origin' is finally released on 11th October 2021  

Chronicling a year in a life of love lost and found, betrayal and heartbreak, breakdown and breakthrough, of broken dreams and new tomorrows. 

Never wanting to align with any particular genre or scene, Modovar's musical inspiration comes from many sources; from synth pioneers, torch song singers, film noir soundtracks and with more than a nod to the dance floor, 'Of Uncertain Origin's ten song cycle is both immediately accessible and richly diverse.
