lyrics

All the way up to the sky
I love you between you and I
Should you fall down, I’ll catch you
Run out and fetch you
God forbid you’d have to cry

The stars shone a different light
Brilliant, they tore up the night
But they lined up as stars do
To show just how far you
Would run away out of my sight

And even the wind seems to breathe as you sleep
It can’t blow away all the mysteries you keep
But for now stay growing
Without ever knowing
A gift with a price that’s so steep

We saw your name between your eyes
A letter in clever disguise
Closed tight, still dreaming
I know they’re still gleaming
With power and insight so wise

And maybe it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie
You can’t clear away all the clouds in the sky
Remember, as I do, somebody loves you
And that’s all you need know tonight

Close your eyes…

Harvest
by Ciccada

supported by 8 fans who also own “A Different Light”

Though only their third studio album release, these veterans have been around for almost fifteen years--and they keep getting better with each release--which is hard to manage since their quality of compositions, performances, and production have always been top notch. A band that really should be heard! wafiii

The White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy
by Magenta

supported by 8 fans who also own “A Different Light”

This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite. luckeydoug1
