CARMILLA
I’VE BEEN A TIME TRAVELLER
FOR A WHOLE NIGHT
SAW THE RISE AND DECLINE
OF HUMANKIND…
ON A PINK HAZY MORNING
CARMILLA WOKE UP
AND SAW THE WINTER QUEEN
LAYING ON THE GRASS
THOUGH THE DAYS WERE GROWING BRIGHTER
THE GOLDEN AGE HAD GONE
KINGS AND MASTERS
IN THEIR CASTLES
RULING ON A HEARD OF PAWNS
NOW THERE’S BARE CONCRETE GROUND
WHERE A WILLOW STOOD UP
I NO LONGER THINK
WE ARE FROM THE SUN
FOR THE SMARTEST ANIMAL ON EARTH
NOW SITS ON HIS TOMBSTONE
LIKE ENDYMION WAITING
FOR A LOVING MOON
THAT’S LONGTIME GONE

A song of greed

A SONG OF GREED
WAVES RAIN AND A SOFT BREEZE
LIKE A LEAFLESS TREE
WATER WASHED THE KEEL
I PULLED MY FISHING NET
OUT OF THE SEA
AND IT WAS EMPTY
SAW A GOLD FISH
IN THE BLACK SEA
(I HAVE TO KEEP
ALL THE GOLD FISH FOR ME)
I WILL SELL WATER
’TIL THE RIVERS RUN DRY
(AND BUILD A CASTLE
AS HIGH AS THE SKY)
MY HEART WAS FULL OF GREED
NO BAIT LEFT FOR ME
NO FLESH TO LURE THE FISH
I SAW A LONELY WOMAN ON THE SHORE
WITH NOWHERE LEFT TO GO
NO CARE IN THIS WORLD
NO MORE GOLD FISH
IN THE BLACK SEA
I KILLED A WOMAN
AND THE RIVERS RAN DRY
(MY CASTLE CRUMBLES TO DUST
AS I DIE)

POST-ATOMIC REVERIES
LIFE WAS SWEET
DOWN SOUTH BY THE SEA
EMERALD WATERS
RED AUTUMN LEAVES
BUT WE COULD BE
IN ENGLAND NOW
LIKE A BIRD
I FIGURED IT OUT
WE COULD FLY
FROM HERE TO LONDON
ONE THOUSAND MILES
TO FIND A NEW PLACE TO HIDE
BUT IF I COULD FLY
TO STAVANGER
I’D JUMP FROM A CLIFF
AND FLOAT OVER THE GULLS
OF THE NORTHERN SEA
FACELESS SHAPELESS
WAS THE HUMAN BOMB
HOW COULD EVERYONE
BE SO NUMB?
BUT WE COULD SWIM
IN THE OCEAN NOW
LIKE A FISH
I FIGURED IT OUT
THOUGH THERE’S NO THAUMATURGE ODIN
TO UNBURN THIS WASTELAND
AND MAKE LIFE SPRING AGAIN
YET IF I COULD BECOME A SAILOR
THIS BOAT WOULD BE HOME
AND EVERYWHERE ON THE SEVEN SEAS
I’D ROAM
THE GREED OF MAN
THE WAR THE LAND
THE WEEPING MOTHERS
ON THE STRAND
IF ONLY WE COULD TRY
AND UNDERSTAND

PHANTOM LIMB
THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG
IN WHAT I SEE TODAY
IN THE PERCEPTION
OF REALITY
IT’S LIKE THE SYNDROME WHERE YOU FEEL
YOUR AMPUTATED LIMB
YOU TALK OF A CONSCIENCE THAT DON’T EXIST
PEOPLE STRUGGLE
IN THE WORLD YOU SAY
BUT ARE YOU DOING
ANYTHING
TO RELEASE THEM
FROM THE SLAVERY IN WHICH THEY LIVE
OR ARE YOU JUST TRYING
TO LIVE COMFORTABLY
IN APATHY
THERE’S TORTURE
PAIN AND KILLING
EVERYWHERE
AND ALL TO SATISFY YOU GREED
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A
SIMPLE REVOLUTION
JUST GO BACK TO YOUR BASIC NEEDS
AND SO WHEN YOU’LL SEE
WHAT I’VE SEEN ONE DAY
THE DAY WHEN I WATCHED
THROUGH THE GLASS
YOU’LL REALISE THAT ANIMALS
WANT TO BE FREE
AND LIVE
JUST LIKE YOU AND ME
THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG
IN WHAT I SEE TODAY
I’M JUST AN ANIMAL, YOU SEE
BUT WHEN YOU SAY
YOU’RE AN EDUCATED RATIONAL BEING
JUST THINK ABOUT SARCOPHAGY

I AM A FLOWER
I AM A FLY
I LIVE BY NIGHT
I’M A NIGHTFLY
FUZZ LULLABY
ARGONAUT OF THE AIR AND TIME
A BLACK HOLE KITE
A SATELLITE
SEE ME REVOLVE AROUND THE SUN
AND WHEN IT DAWNS
DROP OUT OF SIGHT
I AM A CHILD
I AM BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
A NEWBORN CHILD
SOON I WILL GROW
WHAT WILL BE NO ONE MAY KNOW
A PASSER BY
A CARPET RIDE
SEE ME AS DOWN THE ROAD I GO
WAVING GOODBYE
WAVING GOODBYE
I AM A FLOWER
BLOOMING ONLY FOR AN HOUR
A FADING FLOWER
STILL WONDERING WHY
ALL THAT LIVES MUST SLOWLY DIE
A BUTTERFLY
A FICKLE FLIGHT
SEE ME DISSOLVE IN WATER PETALS
A WHIRLING CLOUD
SHOWERING DOWN
I AM A FLOWER
I WAS ONLY BORN TO DIE.

EURA
MOMENTS OF GLADNESS
TURN INTO SADNESS
THE EARTH SWINGS AND SWAYS
COME WHAT MAY
WITH THE SUN
OF THE NEW DAY
TO TAKE MY GRIEF AWAY
MEMORIES FADE
OF THE GOOD TIMES WE SHARED
SAD BEING AWARE
WE WERE GOING NOWHERE
PORCUPINE BUTTERFLY
FLATTERED BY YOU
MARDI GRAS LULLABIES
I SANG THEM TOO
FOR YOU
MOMENTS OF GLADNESS
TURN INTO SADNESS
THE EARTH SWINGS AND SWAYS
COME WHAT MAY
WITH THE SUN
OF THE NEW DAY
TO TAKE MY GRIEF AWAY
WE’RE SATELLITES
IN A SLEEPWALKING DREAM
YOU SELL ME SAND
WRAPPED AROUND A SUNBEAM
EVERYTHING ROTS
AS WE’RE SMILING SERENE
TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES
AND YOUR HEART
WHILE I LET YOU IN
WHATEVER MAKES
THE SUN RISE EVERY DAY
WILL MAKE NO ENZYME
GET OUT OF MY BRAIN
AND WHEN THE FLOOD COMES
WITH THE MONSOON RAIN
I’LL BE A PLUMBER
AND THE OCEAN WILL OBEY

The Orange Flood
07:12
|

|
THE ORANGE FLOOD
IN THE FROSTY MORNING
AS I’M WANDERING AROUND THE TOWN
THROUGH THE SWARMING STREETS
I FOLLOW THE MAN OF THE CROWD
THE STREETS AND THE CROWD LINGER
THROUGH THE SEQUENCE OF MY DAILY LIFE
EATING SLEEPING MEETING PEOPLE
FIXING THE KNOT OF MY TIE
WALKING BY THE RIVERSIDE
MY VISION DRIFTS DOWN TO THE SEA
WOMB OF LIFE AND MOUNTAIN’S BRIDE
I WILL HIDE INTO THEE
UNTIL THE FOREST CALLS ME
AND I COME BACK HOME
JUST TO DAYDREAM
I’M WELCOMED BY AN ORANGE EMBRACE
AND I LEAVE ON A SUNBEAM
THE SOUND IS SPINNING ‘ROUND
ITS WINDS CAST OUT THE CLOUD
UNDER MY FEET
THE CARPET’S TURNING
GREEN AND BROWN
AND THOUGH THE RAIN IS POURING DOWN
THE SUN SHINES HIGH
AND COLOURS DANCE IN ORANGE NUANCES
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
THE SOUND IS SPINNING ‘ROUND
MY FEET DON’T TOUCH THE GROUND
WHILE THE TURNTABLE’S PLAYING
THE MUDMEN’S THEME OUT LOUD
AND THEN A KULNING FROM AFAR
A GENTLE AIR
I OPEN MY EYES AND
THERE’S FOREST PEOPLE
EVERYWHERE

LULLABY N. 2
I’M LETTING OPIUM
BRING EVERYTHING AWAY
THOUGHTS GET CLOUDY
IN THE SPRINGTIME DAY
LADY LIGEIA IS DEAD
AND ELVES ARE DANCING
AROUND HER BODY
A PINCH OF STARDUST
IN THE NOTHINGNESS
HER EVERLASTING BEAUTY
IS IN A CAGE
IF YOU COULD LIVE FOREVER
WOULD YOU DREAD THE CHANGE?
BUT WHEN FOREVER ENDS
THE UNIVERSE GATHERS
IN A FLOWER
AND NOTHING BURSTS
IN MILLIONS SKIES AGAIN

DREAM N. 1
SITTING ON HER THRONE
SHE’S SO ALONE
SITTING ON HER THRONE
SHE’S SO ALONE
SHE WOULD LIKE TO WALK
ALONG THE CITY SHORE
DOWN BY HER ROOFLESS HOUSE
WHERE SOLDIERS SHOOT NO MORE
AND THE SUN
MAKES THE WATER GLOW
’TIL THE STARS
ALL AT ONCE THEY FLOW
TO THE SKY
SITTING ON HER THRONE
SHE’S SO ALONE
SITTING ON HER THRONE
SHE’S SO ALONE
I HAVE SEEN HER FLOATING
ON AN INLAND SEA
CHAMELEON DANDELIONS
SPRANG FROM THE TREES
CHILDREN STARED
AT A SINKING SHIP
AIRCRAFTS BOMBED
WITH CANDIES AND SWEETS
FROM THE SKY
FROM THE SKY
FROM THE SKY

THE ANCHORITE
INFINITE SKY
IS WHERE I CAN SEE
TIME’S RUNNING BY
WITH OR WITHOUT ME
RIGHT INTO ETERNITY
HERE DAY AND NIGHT
MILD WINDS LULL THE TREES
WATERS FLOW BY
AND THE FOREST SINGS
OF SOLITUDE AND OF DREAMS

Psychedelic Folk project based in Paris, France.

Though only their third studio album release, these veterans have been around for almost fifteen years--and they keep getting better with each release--which is hard to manage since their quality of compositions, performances, and production have always been top notch. A band that really should be heard!

Magick Brother & Mystic Sister

This release makes me think of early delving from folk groups into jazz territory, with some Canterbury thrown in, The quartet really captures an era without falling into sentimentality, sounding like a lost soundtrack some mod 60s film at times. Airy, spiraling, effected vocals blend with what sound like vintage keyboards, guitars, bass, drums and flute for a lysergic trip back in time.

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem!

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-)) Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) .
