The song for casting away bad political energy.
Inspired by and in support of the courageous people of Belarus, this is my way of sending humanitarian cultural aid to assist with the "exorcism" of Europe’s last dictator.
When the scales of power are rigged, force must be deployed asymmetrically. Everyone helps the best they can. Creatives get creative. Artists get artistic. I've been more than happy to put my music at the service of my Belarusian friends:
- Lifting spirits and activating protestors in front of the Belarusian embassy in Vilnius.
- Performing "musical exorcism” at the #LaisvėsKelias rally for a nationwide audience on Lithuanian TV
- Organising a musical rally at European Humanities University for independent radio station in Minsk, Radio Plato.
“Time to go” was initially an obituary song. It grew into a way of releasing negative energy during the COVID lockdown, and when I began to sing it in front of the embassy of Belarus it naturally became “Time To Go Lukashenko”. I then understood that it was no longer mine.... that it had a greater purpose to serve.

--//LYRICS//--
Oh oh oh oh
I came to the party
I came to say Hello
I came to the party
But now I have to go
You know its time go
Oh oh oh oh
And though I played my part
And though I played it well
You know I’m going to burn in hell
And though I did my best, and I’ve got lots to show
Time claims us all and its mine to go
You know its time go
Oh oh oh oh
go! go! go! go!
We came to the party
We came to say Hello
We came to the party
To say its time to go
You know its time go
Oh oh oh oh
And though you played your part
And though you played it well
We know you’re going to burn in hell
And though you did your best, and you’ve got lots to show
Time claims us all and its yours to go
It’s time to go!
You know its time go
Oh oh oh oh
