    "Bender on the Silk Road"
    Iconic debut album released on 1st of February 2019

    Taking influence from the golden age of 60s and 70s, British pop, and trippy psychedelia, Love’n’Joy’s music perceive to be the journey of "tribal collective unconsciousness".
    But they also put an element of hard rock – with Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin among their influences – and plenty of guitars, which lend a rougher edge. Their work reflects the spirit of new, resurgent Ukrainian rock music.

lyrics

Love'n'Joy - Raving Referee (lyrics)

Yeah! Right!
Yeah! Right!
Yeah! Right!
Yeah! Right!

Verse 1

Each time I turn on my TV i get this disappointing feeling
Like everything that I can see just a part of dirty double-dealing

Old lies from the government fat faces from the parliament
just try to make more money and act as if its funny yeah

Verse 2

Ech time you try to analyse they flood your head with advertising
I hope it's not a news for you mean fukers wanna just to hypnotize you

Ordinary person in the street can't satisfy his basic need
they try to knock him of his feet
It's so hard to make ends meet

Chorus 1

There is nothing we can change or we don't want?
We are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall
There is nothing we can change or we don't want?
Hope we are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall

Verse 3

Each time I turn on my TV I wish that you and me can hear em squealing
Let everyone can watch them run like a pigs from a gun man I mean it
Ordinary person in the street can't satisfy his basic need
They try to knock him of his feet
It's so hard to make ends meet

Chorus 2

There is nothing we can change or we don't want ?
we are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall
There is nothing we can change or we don't want?
Hope we are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall

There is nothing we can change or we don't want ?
We are not like those empty dolls that are still live behind the wall
There is nothing we can change or we don't want?
Hope we are not like those empty dolls that are still
propping up the wall

The chosen title “Half Home” turned out to be a kind of prophecy. The recording and mixing of the album was completed on February 21 in Kyiv at the CrimyRec studio, exactly 3 days before the start of the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine.
