From The City To The Stars board up the door alone, lost & sore you hide yourself from the light alone, lost & blind a choice to turn away the hunter becomes the prey run from The City to the stars hide inside the dark inspired by "The City And The Stars" written by Arthur C. Clarke
2.
Cracks 03:41
Cracks the cracks in the pavement they follow me down the smiling faces laughing too loud the time of changes they're talking about was hidden under the mushroom cloud all those places lost in the loud war that rages they say it's safe to go out lighting the candle it mutens the sound of ghosts and their longing and the cries of the hounds like lightning the fighting came raining down the cold fire that's feeding on the faded ground inspired by "Far North" written by Marcel Theroux
3.
Witch Mt. 05:29
Witch Mt. climbing Witch Mt. watching over the sea moving on by starlight searching for the key a story told in whispers a map that can't be seen the battle reaching outward searching for the key climbing Witch Mt. piercing through the clouds Dancer made of thunder moves without a sound
4.
Obstacles 06:15
Obstacles puddles of mud and drops of cold rain I don't want to leave but things gonna change I thought I'd be able to watch the wide skies but there were some obstacles reducing my sight and you said that I don't belong here and you said that I won't be me and you said that I just can't stay here but watch out watch out the boat and the river both floating ahead into the ocean there's no way back we both need each other like land needs the rain and the sun that is rising again and again
5.
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 inspired by "The Heather Blazing" written by Colm Tóibín
6.
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

Album notes:

The tracklist is meant to showcase the different styles of music I've been releasing since I started this project.

Each LP side begins with a new song which is then followed by two older songs.

"Cracks" was the first song I recorded and released as "Kanoi" back in 2011 but is featured here as a remixed version with additional guitar overdubs.

"Witch Mt." was part of the "Moonglow" mini-album from 2012 but this version comes with newly recorded guitar-parts and a totally different and freshly recorded vocal take.

"The Heather Blazing" and "Suspicions Aside" were originally part of the "Basque For Barrel" EP but are presented here as slightly remixed versions.

"From The City To The Stars" and "Obstacles" are new songs and were written and recorded at the end of 2013.
