The Heather Blazing the light's reflected in the water on the dirty ground I try to catch it but I'm only going down and while I'm falling it crossed my mind I never got to watch the stars up in the skies the Fear is spreading like a cancerous disease I hear the thunder in the distance of my dreams my friend I warned you about the way that you're treading it leads astray another day that's cold and ends without a change you say you're different but I see you're still the same oh friend I warned you there's still a way to find the path from which we came

Suspicions Aside suspicions aside count me in the peace of a smile is where she begins taking me in with her stride that's where it begins waiting and taking her time that's how she begins suspicions aside they're wearing me thin the devil outside gets under my skin making me follow his stride that's where it begins waiting and taking his time that's how he begins the light that's been scouring my eyeballs is growing all dim

about

A companion EP to the "Moonglow" album.

"The Heather Blazing" was written during the "Moonglow" sessions but as a slow and moody acoustic track. In the end I left it off "Moonglow" because I thought that it sounded a bit boring as it was.

The version on this EP is re-recorded and scraps all the acoustic guitars in favour of a heavy stoner-rock inspired sound and I like it much better this way.
I stole the title from a novel by Colm Tóibín because it's one of my favourite books (go read it!) and I also thought it would work really well as a song-title.

All in all this EP continues the sound of the "Moonglow" release but takes it in a darker direction (which I also tried to express through the artwork).

".. "Suspicions Aside" is the pick of the lengthier pieces, an aching space-rock infused blues, with gritty, tense slide guitar."
