Nothing@All
She’s feeling higher than Christ
She’s got a long way to fall
Just let me know when you’re leaving
I think there’s nothing at all
I think there’s nothing at all
He’s taken leave of his senses
No sense in leaving it here
When you can’t get through the defences
But you’re getting so burnt
You feel so damn near
She’s got fire in the work house
He’s got fire in the brain
He got a bullet-proof sky
She got bullet-proof son
They got removable stain
And did you doubt the troubled fictions
As they lined up their restrictions
At your door?
Hazy lines and fine distinctions
Jilted lovers, Richard Nixons
We all want more
I can’t take you for granted
What if we could undo?
You could leave any day
What if we could reason?
And I only catch fleeting glimpses
Something’s getting broken
Of things we needed to say
What if we could stay here?
Well, you may be dreaming rainbows in a cloudy sky
But you’d better make sure
‘Cos while we tidy it up, we’re just making a mess
And then we all want more
We’ve made it a mess now
We all want more
We’ve made it a mess now
We all want more
So, if they gave you my number
Why don’t you give me a call?
And let me know when you’re leaving
I think there’s nothing at all
Nothing at all
But we could take
We could take just a little bit
Take just a little but more
She’s feeling higher than Christ
She’s got a long way to fall
Just let me know when you’re leaving
Because there’s nothing at all.

Go Slow (Part 1)
You look so pretty
Won’t you come and live with me?
I’ve bought this sapling
But I really want a tree
This river has a source
But we all run towards the sea
Go slow
I’m spending all my time
Just keeping up to date
Chasing down the deadlines
Trying to outrun fate
Some days the future meets me half way
But it’s mostly running late
Go slow
There’s a shiver and a rush
It’s the thrill of the chase
This thing can do 300
When I’m driving interstate
If I push it to 320
Will I win the human race?
Go slow
When you know it’s not here
Will you know it’s not here
Now?
The bird that flaps its wings
Corrects the curvature of sky
The rainbow curries favour
From the hidden rule of pi
The mountain splits the lonely heights
To balance out the moon
But the music of the spheres refuse
To modify their tune
The prey that breaks its cover
Sees horizons close in faster
Are we more alike than different
When we’re staring down disaster?
Can we remedy all reason?
Set the seasons straight?
Can we mend mistaken meaning?
Unravel twists of fate?
Life joins up the dots
Of all these random chances
No one here decides
How a single thing advances
I’m driving interstate
To change these scenes in my rearview
If I give up what’s inside
Could you give up what’s in you?
Change these scenes in my rearview
Could you give up what’s in you?

Go Slow (Part 2)
Sent out in semaphore
It’s not my own
Guess I just wondered
Do you really want to go home?
Do you really want to come home now?
Do you really know it’s not here?
Do you really want to come home now?
Do you really know it’s not here?

Implications of love and hate
Something we all share
Everything can be upside down
Just act as if you care
The inner weavings of time and place
The movement of a wave
The architecture of breath and light
The beauty in your face
--
The algorithms of fight and flight
Miraculous design
Everybody gets scared sometime
Evolution’s crime
The implications of love and hate
Straightforward to compare
Everything could be upside down
Just act as if we care
The algorithms of fight and flight
Instructions to survive
No one’s gonna get hurt this time
‘Cos no one here gets out alive
No one’s gonna get hurt this time
‘Cos no one here gets out alive.

Xombies
I’d like to tell you that I’d never betray you
But I already did
All the times you ever shook for no reason
Those were the places I hid
It’s wearing thin to say it’s always circumstantial
When I pushed you into the skid
I want you for me
Do you want me for you?
Watching xombies at daybreak
Watching Centre Court live
Both say God’s on their side
Watching pathogens dancing
Watching ships in the storm
Ride the wrecking tide
Watch for movements in shadow
Watch the trace of the heart
Carving green across black
Watching polar caps dying
Skating out across white
And there’s no turning back
And though you’ve watched this all happen
It’s not your story to tell
There’s only satellites in heaven
So she’ll meet you in hell
You know you seek absolution
She just can’t see the point
When the punishment fits
If you’re just wanting comfort
She will promise you now
She’s going to love you to bits
You wake up walking on tightrope
There’s a knot in your belly
She keeps deep down inside
Sometimes you think you’ve controlled her
But when you’re high on the wire
There’s nowhere to hide.
I am terror
I am yours
I am terror
I am yours
And if you see her walking through the city square
And if you see her dancing on the lights
And if you see her ride across the waves to you
And if you see her first
She lives in butterflies
She’s watching you
She lights the limbic
She lives in you
Tell her you need her
Tell her you care
Your dog’s grown tired of barking
Every flare has been fired
All your plans come undone
Every synapse is sparking
All your hopes have expired
She’s got you under her thumb
She’s got you tilting at windmills
Got you running in rings
Got you scared of the moon
Like petrol tankers that tailgate
She won’t let you forget
This could all end so soon
I am terror
I am yours
I am terror
I am yours
And if you see her walking through the city square
And if you see her dancing on the lights
And if you see her ride across the waves to you
And if you see her first
She is the endgame
She follows through
She’s fond of hiding
And so are you
Tell her you need her
Tell her you care
I hope one day you’ll forgive me
I hope one day you’ll see through
All these things that we do
There’s only one thing that matters
I want you for me
Do you want me for you?
I am terror
I am yours
I am terror
I am yours
Keep me safe, keep me safe
Keep me, keep me, keep me safe
And if you see her walking through the city square
And if you see her dancing on the lights
And if you see her ride across the waves to you
And if you see her first

Angels & Acrobats
One, two, buckle my shoe
Getting ready for my date
Three, four, knock on your door
Won’t you soothe my fractured state?
Five, six, pick up sticks
Weighed down by my stupid tricks
Seven, eight, set things straight
Start again, wipe clean the slate
The angels and the acrobats
Look down, hey yah
No circus is complete
Without a clown, hey yah
Beneath this smiling makeup
Sits my silly twisted frown
Your laughter is the load I bear
To wear the idiot’s crown
Tomorrow’s yellow circle in the grass, hey yah
This show is leaving town
The band will play the opening chords
The ringmaster will start the show
You’ll find me in between the lions and the juggler
Like some middle child in dayglow
Cruel comic of the canvas court
Squeeze laughter from my own demise
And if I play my part just right
You know my tears will find your eyes
The angels and the acrobats
Look down, hey yah
The ancients and the astronauts
Look down, hey yah
Hidden gods and neophytes
The priestess and her acolytes
Militia drones and satellites
Look down, hey yah
The dreamers and the dispossessed
Look down, hey yah
The aimless and the great obsessed
Look down, hey yah
The puppets and the puppeteers
The wisemen and the racketeers
The bankrupt and their financiers
Look down, hey yah
Atheists and hierophants
The naysayers, the sycophants
All agents of entanglement
Look down, hey yah
If you fall down from on high
Turns out this was just a lie
When you think you’ll drown
You can’t look down
When you fall into the sea
Turns out that you’re just like me
If you can’t look down
You think you’ll drown
And I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze

From Worry to Shame
by Head with Wings
supported by 8 fans who also own “The Unlikely Event”
So glad to have discovered this great band. Heard first on the Thought Radio show last week. Great melodies over powerful Prog Rock with many beautiful moments. This is something special. I am getting a bit of a Rush type vibe but much more also. What an album this is and I will need to get the CD also. Too many great tracks to chose a best one yet.

The Last Great Adventurer
by GALAHAD
supported by 8 fans who also own “The Unlikely Event”
I am not new to Galahad but have lost touch with them after Beyond The Realms of Euphoria album,which still is my favorite release. But this release is just as good if not better. Galahad is one of the top prog acts around. A pleasure to add this to my musical collection.

Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits.

The band’s first album in 10 years is full of drifting guitar chords, psychedelic fuzz, and dreamy shoegaze.

Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10.

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery
supported by 8 fans who also own “The Unlikely Event”
The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material. If you want to hear how it all started you have to get this
