White Breath

Spring is born from Winter’s queen
I see the witches change from greys to green, yeah
We got the sun, we got the Sundays
The exiles from the South return
They’re singing stories from another world, yeah
We got the sun, we got the Sundays
The angels are awakening
And they are hungry for the mortal things, yeah
We got the sun, we got the Sundays
The death and resurrection rites
Require savagery and sacrifice, yeah
We got the sun, we got the Sundays
Whiteness of the breath
Walk away from here
Old way home
Takes too long
Cold walk home
Move too slow
Whiteness of the breath
Air instead of death

Green Horn

So I believe what I can see
I don't care for much else
Except the things that pull the strings
Can make me doubt myself
Invisibly yet plain to see
They call me to inspire
I don't reject but come correct
I'm looking at the fire
The ladies and the gentlemen
Seem older and more wise
While I still feel like seventeen
It's clear I'm left behind
Take all you want, I'm undefiant
I'm fine with what is mine
Take all you will, I'll linger still
I'll have what's left behind

April pt. 1

Spring is here again, we are glad to be content
Winter's at an end, there's time to spend for days on end
Waking from a slumber I was under like a spell
Underneath the mountain I was counting down the days
Starved for conversation, hibernation's been too long
Went there down a well but how I came back I can't tell
Never ending haze, like a filter on my days
Cold has come and snow has come this late
I've returned and now the weather's changed

Tremolyre

Tremolyre was what I called my wired six string
Sing the songs I wrote when we were young darling
With you I feel like I am in a dream talking
In too deep I'm getting into sleepwalking
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out again, oh yeah
The waking world pulls us back
I must return to the land
A spool was dropped in a well
Still under your spell
Breathe out again, oh yeah
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out again, oh yeah

Springtime
Birdsong calls the green
Meanwhile
Blossom in the trees
Springtime
Aching to appear
True power
Slowly is revealed

Insight

You wanna know what it feels like
Shut the fuck up, this is real life
You wanna know what I hide
Confide in me
You show me yours and of course
I’ll show you my inside
And if you feel so inclined you can leave
If you feel so inclined
You can stay for a while
Roll over to your side
Fall asleep
Take your time to digest
How a careless caress
Took the load off your chest
Wiped you clean
You do not know how it can be
Bitter when first it was candy
You wanna know if there’s more glitter than gold
You show me yours and I’m sure I’ll activate plan B
Do you think would you mind
We could swim side by side
We can dive into the cold green river
Leave our clothes at the shore
Have our bare skin endure
Just a touch if we shiver
Touch some more
If you feel so inclined
You can stay for a while
you can leave at your own chosen speed

Alesis Dream Punk

Pulled out of the air into being
Drawn together from threads and strings
Taking shape as we go along
Build to make it strong
Sines will oscillate when we sing
Sound can travel through anything
The air is full of waves like the sea
Don't remember me

April pt. 2
03:15
|
|||
|
I've sure been here before
In dreams or real
Complete and out of hope
I cannot leave
Won't do this anymore
Out of ideas
Belief, a fragile sport
Thought I was free

Blue Jeans
02:15

|
Just within reach
Spinning at full speed
I feel the heat as we touch
Satellites fell
Out of the blue sky
I’ll pack the heat don’t you
Tell at the hotel
Switch from your blue jeans to your gown
At the hotel
Watching the sky burn
Take from my heart what you need
No use to run
This kind of love is the bomb

The Savage Rites
03:18
|
|||
|
Let me turn back
Cause I have wandered from the path
I won't look back
What's past is done, I'm done with that
A cloud of wings
If you lie still won't hurt a bit
We're made to sing
Perform the savage rites of spring

Around the bend
These scars are all that I have left
So I can pretend
Not even close by any stand
I comprehend
The situation I am in
This time I'm here
No reason to be somewhere else

Soaring high and pouring down, warms me with shimmer and roar. Early tracks are 'gazey, later ones lean psychedelic. Distant vocals wind their way around several pieces, part of the instrumentation, not apart from it.

Cruel Optimism
by NATURAL VELVET
Dreamy indie pop bent with just a bit of dissonance hits all the right notes and all the wrong ones.
