Welcome.

"The colors start to
become one.
I used to walk but
soon I start to run."

"So let me pass like drops
into an empty glass,
so I can see.
My head is spinning into
a paper cup of greed.
And then I sink."

"Once you've seen
that all will pass,
nothing-
no, none of it lasts,
just relief
from what's bound,
simply moments
floating round."

"And I don't want to be a bore,
and I don't want to miss a day,
and I've got to stop myself
from all that I could say."


About The Old Kings:
Formed in 1997 in Singapore, The Old Kings have undergone numerous line-up changes, experimented with many styles of music, and have written, recorded, and produced 3 albums.

The newest album, their 3rd, represents a blend various musical styles including pop, rock, jazz, contemporary folk, easy listening and alternative.

"The Inn of Happiness" is a promising and eclectic album demonstrating strong original compositions, highly skilled musicianship, creative and intricate arrangements, and quality production.

The songs are introspective and melodic, the instrumentation is pleasant and retrospective, and the album exudes a warm yet haunting and reflective feel.


"Chalk on the sidewalk-
smeared by the rain.
Today was a good day,
but it was all in vain."


Patrick Linton and Sean Nerney make up the core of the group. Patrick's songs, vocals, and guitar find a perfect match in Sean's inspired keyboards, arrangements and production.

The two met as students many years ago. The dissolution of the previous Old Kings brought them together and they embarked on a fresh musical project.

Deciding to keep the name "The Old Kings" because of the success of the band, Patrick and Sean began extensive recording sessions in early 2002. Mastering of the album took place at MYX Studios.

Enjoy.

The Old Kings. Welcome to the Inn of Happiness.
