about

"A song about journeys- journeys of discovery; of coming home; of feeling that call...

This song was the only song to emerge whole and complete in it's writing- I've not edited the lyrics- they're raw, felt and whole. I felt to change them would change the integrity of the song.

There's a restlessness that can drive us on, under certain circumstances (I recognised the same restlessness in Neil Peart's "Ghost Rider" book)- a yearning that either has to be moved towards, or away from. Or possibly both.

And- as a friend reminded and showed me at the time- one of the few utterly safe places was deep inside nature; sheltered by trees, laying down on the earth and literally grounding myself"

lyrics

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

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! paliojen_black

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

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. Alrihkh
