Ews Nsj Enrapturing. I’ve been a fan for yrs, but this floors me with its enchanting collection of musical dimensions. The album is arranged in a way where I can easily immerse myself again and again; in endless rotation. It is a highly recommended journey that will take the curious traveler from icy blissful walls of sound onto bold new (and successful) experimental territories. Impossible to choose a fav piece, but I have chosen “Grand Rapids” to represent the overall contemplative blissful vastness of a ‘feeling’ I was left with in the end. The last track leaves the listener wanting more and more...Longing...Inspired. Favorite track: Grand Rapids.

I don’t mean to be, I don’t mean to be…mean things just seem to be quiet and unseen for me quiet is the day, quiet is the day there’s nothing left for me, left for me to say…today I don’t mean to be, I don’t mean to be…mean

The Visitor 04:32
down the hall they’re off to see the members of their families on days like this it’s hard to be anything but lonely I wait and wait and hope to see someone from my family will no one come and visit me? I could use the company I could use the company

Antarctica 08:13
I see old pictures of a boy (me) standing, so alone and far away buried for miles and miles and miles no one knows (remember?) I lived here every direction looks the same, the same the snow and the wind and the ice frozen for miles and miles and miles no one knows (remember?) I lived here

Greenland 08:25
on the violent seas to the promised land our dreams can be real the sun will rise over golden fields our dreams will be real days, they come and go (cold) on the icy shores of the frozen land the truth is revealed deep inside my soul, buried deep inside the truth is revealed days, they come and go (cold)

Grand Rapids 05:51
framed in foggy cold mist street lights glare and glow tires on the wet roads singing down below in sleep I see the city from building tops alone fading childhood memories this never, can ever, be my home

Spring Trees 04:34
to see the wonder in his eyes erases all these troubled thoughts and troubled times I'll sacrifice me…for we his happiness seems to be the beating heart of our family I'll sacrifice me…for we and it seems to be the fulfillment of our destinies, today, today and it seems to be the perfect snapshot of our destinies, our destinies seasons come, seasons go so much to learn, so much to know I'll sacrifice me…for we spring trees bloom and revive all future hopes will survive I'll sacrifice me…for we

listen…listening why don’t we take some time and leave this place behind let’s pretend we’re young and on a drive in better times listen to the wind it sings to me, I’m listening why don’t we take some time and leave this place behind, behind listen…listening
9.
he moves in front of me deep in the woods no one can see a quiet anger burns in me dead leaves fall (he doesn’t know that I know) no second thoughts…delay today’s the day I’ll make him pay a perfect autumn sunny day dead leaves fall (he doesn’t know that I know)
10.
the bright sun, the blue skies this summer day fades… our destiny awaits the end day is here the sky reveals our fate afraid we wait to become one with the dead star, cold star erased
11.
it’s like the soil is dead
