Blinded by the veil
Steam rise to the sail
I set a course for the source
But the storm was in force
I can’t sleep can’t sing
So I sink softly
I kept cool for the catch
But my song was no match
Bear the wait bear the weight
Won’t you burn anyway
And I breathe smoke
Burn on burn on
It’s treacherous under the surface
Perilous your secret purpose
I go to the depths alone
To sink like a stone like a stone
Like a stone
Subtle the sea
Mighty the beast
I was only waiting for how you would say the word
I’m adrift with thoughts of your sweet discord
You crash against this rock but I am anchored in too deep
To move the madness and the mass that I keep
So I breathe smoke
Burn on burn on
It’s treacherous under the surface
Perilous your secret purpose
I go to the depths alone
To sink like a stone like a stone
Like a stone

From a Fiery Surf

He swims like a song in the deep of the sea
Billows smoke to the bloom of the tide
Smolders his way to her unmended mind
Allure of beauty and pride
He's so gentle so giving but she’ll never be filled
Yet he'll burn on blowhole flare
A great dark cloud of compassion booms
Still waits for a life they can’t share
From a fiery surf stretched on ambient wings
His pure melody rings clear through her space
Her heart glowing red in the dark a ruse
She’ll harpoon upon every embrace
One more chance to explain I believe
Pulsing blaze and heartbeat entwined
Though I realize that I am too good too good
Her siren’s call fills my mind
And what I wish I could say is
I am no longer here awaiting
I won’t see your ghost
You left me inside my head debating
That’s what hurts the most
I tried and I tried I cried, won’t fall though
Rise and release the stone
So don’t tell me now because I won’t follow
I’m nobody’s man but my own

Ripple in the Sky

Breaks on through
With a ripple in the sky
Emerge shining right
Like the sun casting hope
No more smoke to choke
Can’t help but smile at all that pain
It’s the end of a beautiful thing
With intentionality and action
We will grow we will grow
I know this to be
My home complete
A city overgrown
With expressions of our own
We help we sing don’t worry
You’re here you’re here and you’re family
In a place where we give our all
To all and all that’s small
To all and all that’s small
To all and all
All and all
All and all that’s small

Serenity Within Chaos
03:17
|

Adapt like water
Know to flow, see the sea
Fins set to wander
Only so, be to be
The serenity within chaos
I get caught up in the flame (but there are)
Wonders deeper than waves
Resist, release and follow aim (far)
Accept this change
The serenity within chaos
Don’t worry don’t worry
It’s by streams that I remember
I’m lost a quiet ember
Always far from where I am
Moments drip right through my hands
But all brooks evolve
And form great rivers all
To merge back home again
Then fly as rainfall
So while I sound
I’ll rise and harmonize abound
Mold to whatever
Even never
We share the same goal
We share the same whole
Because if the world stops singing
Then surely it will fall

Emerge Victorious

|
We embrace with grace and breathe
We will see each moment we meet
As it is not as we want
Because there's more and we move on
Like the dew and the waterfall
And the endless blue it calls
Us to all and all
All and all
All and all that's small

So It Goes

We say bye again, and so it goes
It’s the fourth time to end, yeah so it goes
We do we think we talk we, can’t convey anything
So we laugh cause we see, we are living, and what more do I need
Just let it go (8x)
So I’m going to die, of course no regret
No beginning no end, no cause no effect
It’s a world we can’t change, don’t that make sense
No beginning no end, only moments, seen all at the same time
Just let it go (8x)

Luminescence

Some may say well isn’t it only fantasy
But to the heart and mind is it not reality
The truest form of expression following a whim
And the child who lies within
Well these stories they form our view of all
So we share but act like a fool behind a wall
Well I need something new a muse, yes I, I need what was
Creating and just because
Oh no can’t hold it back
A fire winking through, in the dark; impact
Beyond follows ending, but who knew or ever saw
That the words we’re sending, always held it all
When it’s in place
it’s outside time and space, a moment to embrace
I know what I have to do this time
But I can’t recall that state oh state of mind
So let me fall asleep
For in that sleep I’ll dream

Surely the best psych/stoner/prog one-man band in the world. Naturally fluid music not possible to stop to listen to... This guy is a true melody master

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia. Here's my full review - https://www.7thlevelmusic.com/?p=12710

This is a bad-bitch. Not sure how to categorize them, but definitely worth purchasing.
