I could be a sunken ship
Clinging to the ocean floor
Far below the rolling waves
From the shore
To the shore
Off the radar
Off the course
Not a splash
Not a sound
Water-struck
Water-bound
I could be blue-back whale
Sleeping on the bottom
Of the sea
Deeper currents
Colder streams
Starless nights
Silent dreams
Dreaming empire of the blue
The eons gone by
The history washed away
Mighty Flood
Mighty Wave

Falling

I'm falling
Falling falling bright star
'Cross the night sky
And the world is at rest
Past the Northern Cross
Past the glowing belt of Orion
And the clouds
Floating West
So I'll pass
Like a rock through the water
A ray through the haze
Drawn
Like a part to the whole
By the gravity of things
Falling into place
I'm falling
Falling falling faster than a lightning
Through the darkness aglow
So the atoms form
So the planets dance around the sun
As above
So below
So I'll pass
Like a rock through the water
A ray through the haze
Drawn
Like a part to the whole
By the gravity of things
Falling into place

We Are The Prison
05:11
|

|
We are the prison
The locked door
The lost key
We are the walls
Within the walls
Aren’t we
Long live the lover
Long live the enemy
Everything goes
Everything dies
Will this?
Time will stand still
And I’ll wait until
In the crystal house on the hill
All the lights are out
Holding my breath
Holding my breath
Slipping in and out of the sleep
Out of the room
Out of the cage
Out of the cage
And back
One spark
One fuse
We light up
Tall flames
O how
Bright we
Burn

A circle in a circle
The golden rim of the horizon
We float
We float
Towards the centre
In a cloud of stardust
In the hour of no hour
Ours is what isn’t ours
Slow down, slow down
The rolling sunset
Stay a little longer
Up above and down below
Rugged shadows on the snow
We grow
Halo
Halos
On my neck a breath of ice
Sundog’s frozen amber eyes
That glow
Too close
Too close
Too close
Too close
And the cold
And the warmth
Of the hand

O bright phoenix star
Shine a myriad of dazzling rays
The bleakest of hours
Gone, the night’s turning into day
Stay bright
Throbbing light of a million suns
Tonight
Is the birth of the new world to be
Tonight
Is the start of the future to come
And it’s alive, alive in me
O welcome the night
The darker, the better
On the verge of the void
There’s a promise of a new dawn
Stay bright
Throbbing light of a million suns
Tonight
Is the birth of the new world to be
Tonight
Is the start of the future to come
And it’s alive, alive in me

Solaris
06:09
|
|||
|
Hurricanes and solar flares
I can feel you getting closer
And the new day came
Nothing’s the same
Nothing’s the same
Ripples on the water there
The shadow of the blue-eyed giant
Reaching tender waves
Into the air
Into the air
All that we’ve dreamt is here
Inside the blue infinite mirror
All of the worlds
All that there is
O Solaris

Fireworks
06:25
|
|||
|
Out of the cheering crowd
Ribbons and bows
Out of the day
And into the dark
A silent parade
We’ll go
Onto the lonely top
Close to the dancing sparks
On top of the hill
With our heads in the clouds
And the trembling sky
Is on fire
Our eyes will light up
For a second and now
Just a trail of smoke
On the way down

Father, the bird is dead
We have ended
On the rocks beneath
Fading feathers in my hand
Is it time to grow teeth?
Grow teeth
Father, how short’s the flight
Was it just a dream within a dream?
All is said and done and now
All I want is hurt him
Hurt him
Hurt him
Was it your hand, my hand, his hand?
O my goodness
Was it your face, my face, his face in mine?
Is it over before it begins?
Was it his face, my face, your face in his?
Father, the flowers bloomed
Those were really flowers of evil
And we’d meet by the cemetery gate
Not the gates of Eden
Father, the fruit was sweet
It was cursed and rotten to the core
And we fell softly in the arms of sleep
Just to wake up naked
Naked and sore
Was it your hand, my hand, his hand?
O my goodness
Was it your face, my face, his face in mine?
Is it over before it begins?
Was it his face, my face, your face in his?
You

I have to restrain myself from being too effusive about 'Anyway, Still'. This is truly unique music of beautiful, beguiling power which resonates long after each listen. A true gift. I'll be eagerly awaiting all subsequent releases. Thank you Exit North.

The Extinct Suite

Beautiful late night, early morning, whenever. Calms, soothes and ultimately enriches the soul. If you haven't heard it yet, also try the album Steve did with Maiya Hershey. Equally gorgeous and good for the soul in these strange days...
