It's Summer

It’s a rolling dust landscape
Dark and light by turns
Shaded by the shimmering mountains a city lies ahead
Rolling ever onwards
This feels right, it's summer
You take my hand
As I change gear
And my shadow falls over you
For all the echoing years
Rolling ever onwards
This feels right
It’s summer
Your eyes are a gift at noon
The heat of your hand in my own
Your hair on my shoulder
You move like a dancer in the silver moonlight
Talking about mountains
And horses in the Carmargue
Riding in the grasslands
Dancing in the dark
Rolling ever onwards
This feels right
Its summer
Your eyes are a gift at noon
The heat of your hand in my own
Your hair on my shoulder
You move like a dancer in the silver moonlight
We’re rolling ever onwards
This feels right
Its summer
That stillness in your green eyes
A truth that speaks so loudly
So much time gets wasted
In the damp air of careless days
We can dance with those we’ve lost
We can dance with those we’ve lost

She's Calling Me Home
05:32

African lake at sunrise
Yellow weavers are flying
In the heat of the day we are resting
Waiting for dusk to draw near
Yellow fire in the moonlight
Sharing dreams in that silver
Talking and dancing til daylight
True hearts rest here
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving
Shadows play on the hillside
Red leaves fly in the wind
Reaching out for the westlands
She's calling me home once more
Forests are green on the mountainside
Standing for a lifetime or more
North wind is blowing behind me
She's calling me home once more
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving
Moving down to the south west
Feel the call of the stones
Crying out for the heartlands
Nowhere left to call home
Nowhere left to call home
Feel the forests that call me
Finding shelter among them
Rest here just for a short time
I've got to be moving on
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving
Shadows play on the hillside
Red leaves fly in the wind

Dreamtime
04:46
|

Here comes the dawn in red and gray now that the night is over
A fading moon over a mountainside giving way to sunlight
Holding the line
You're in my arms once more
Present in the here and now
Here with me in the dreamtime
I'll never give up; I'll never back down I'll be the tide the years can't stop
But I am so small and powerless as the mountains shake me
Holding the line
You're in my arms once more
Present in the here and now
Here with me in the dreamtime
Holding back the soul of the mountain; we're rising hawks above the snowline
Reaching, calling, becoming.....
Holding the line
You're in my arms once more
Present in the here and now
Here with me in the dreamtime
I hear a piper on the headland lamenting all that's been
The cry of naked centuries echoing out to sea
Holding the line
You're in my arms once more
Present in the here and now
Here with me in the dreamtime

In The Depths
03:55
|
|||
|
We're deep in the ocean
In a world of dark-blue and grey
Waves flicker making shadows
Window to the world above
We're heading for the surface
On a collision course
With the heat of the sun
Who knows what lives
Down in this depth?
There's things that hate the light
Sunlight or truth or honesty
They 're one and the same
We're fixing to return to the surface to see
What the light will bring
Living in a lightless world
It's been a long time since the hatches were opened
Air wouldn't taste so sweet
To see the sky would break your heart
Such a high value for a lighter blue
Dreams are no longer lies to fear

Standing Stones

Yeah got my brother 'cross the ocean
Yeah we're walking long by the standing stones
Yeah we're fighting hard and we won't go down
Yeah it seems to me we're moving
Sister red she brought it back
Following the waves
Brother stand tall face the dawn
Holding the line
Horses running through the years
Dogs running free
Heard my brother say to me
"Don't fight with fate"
Yeah got my brother 'cross the ocean
Yeah we're walking long by the standing stones
Yeah we're fighting hard and we won't go down
Yeah it seems to me we're moving
Took a nighttime diesel run
Right across the south
Heading down towards the stones
Rolling through the hours
Stringing up with 12 gauge
Sliding through those towns
Horsemen running through the night
Riding on the power
Yeah got my brother 'cross the ocean
Yeah we're walking lone by the standing stones
Yeah we're fighting hard and we won't back down
Yeah it seems to me we're moving

Time Cut Short The Dance
05:28
|

|
She danced
In the green field
She flowed through the forms
Children are dancing
All dressed in white
Like birds ride the wind
Water on stone
Flowing around
Time cut short the dance
To leave whispers on the wind
Time cut short the dance
To leave words on the page
It's a simple field
Oak, beech and hazel
River wanders through
In the bowl of the sky
Hawk floats at rest
There's only a few of us here
Just for this moment
You could float in the dance
Time cut short the dance
To leave whispers on the wind
Time cut short the dance
To leave words on the page

Lifting Mountains
03:59

So here we sit
Back to back
Hold tight to perseverance
Grip the cliff-face tight
I'm carrying the weight
Lifting mountains with bare hands
There's a delicacy here
Holding tight to small things
Feeling the way in the high winds
I'm carrying the weight
Lifting mountains with bare hands
Lifting mountains with bare hands
Lifting mountains...
There are secret muscles
That no one knows about
Keep us safe
When the call comes
I'm carrying the weight
Lifting mountains with bare hands
Lifting mountains with bare hands
Lifting mountains...
Driven not by choice
Drive by survival
Crystalline and pure
Wind in the pine trees

The Empty Quarter
04:42
|
|||
|
Winter's grip is tight
Like wire in a wound
Time in hand just trickles slowly
As steel gives way to sand
So much that's left undone
There's things I didn't get to say
Memories drift like snow
And all that's bright will rust
In still air there's a storm that's raging
So much that's left undone
Now I'm living in the empty quarter
There's things I didn't get to say
Desert king living deep in shadowed mountains
I press rich wine from red regrets
Ghosts of sand are always following
Pulling bones from my weakened hands
Distant drums are calling me
From across wide oceans
Through desert storms
I'm taking the road that leads me home

Nightfall
06:21
|

|
Small lives in the shadow of the sun
Lit only by the light of moments
There are always wars to fight
But somehow we survive
Nightfall fast approaches
Sorrow creeping in
Shadows lengthen fast
Memories start to fade
The heart's dancing fire
Will never end
We're all small
Our lives to be forgotten
Starlight
Will always hold us well
We'll hold our time together
We'll be waiting on the dawn
Nightfall fast approaches
Sorrow creeping in
Shadows lengthen fast
Memories start to fade
The heart's dancing fire
Will never end
I remember
Bright and open skies
We learned to fly
With wild wings at sunset
Wild wings at sunset
And the heart's dancing fire
Will never end

To Touch the Sky
by The Emerald Dawn
supported by 20 fans who also own “Red”
Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite!

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun
supported by 18 fans who also own “Red”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.
