lyrics

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

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 Dmitry Nevozhay

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+... rick-taylor

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 Nik Havert

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