lyrics

Awaken, turn your eyes to the stars
Feel the wind in your whiskers and the morning seems so far away
Rolling, do a dance in the dust, cloaked in fumes of the road
You know they do what they must (or so they say!)

They called you gifted to steal all your presence of mind
In silence they lifted you took you where no one would find

Hear them, whisper words in your ear
There’s no room for your fear
You’re no the loneliest one who’s crying (We hear you!)
Help me! I don’t know where you are
And I don’t know who I am and I don’t know where I will be (We're near you!)

The fire you ignited has always resided in truth
You called, they answered to no one, Dream Dancer, but you

But ever wonder where you dreams go?
You’ll find them in there
So whither wander, my young Maestro?
He’s up in the air!

He’s a Maestro (Is that his name?)
I hear he’s one of a kind (One and the same!)
The things he does with that head of his could make or break us—
(Don’t mistake the treasure in his mind!)

Behind your eyelids like landscapes of color and sound
And screaming in your heart lies power you’ve only just found

And in your dreamings, beyond eyesight, you leave them behind
Bound in body, free in spirit, a measureless mind
But ever wonder where your dreams go?
You’ll find them in there
So whither wander, my young Maestro?
He’s up in the air!

And all your yearnings, painting timescapes
You make them your own
The tears are burning, blazing mindscapes
Will they lead you home?
But ever wonder where your dreams go?
You’ll find them in there

So whither wander, my young Maestro…?

Beautiful melody, great music. Musique complexe. difficile de faire plus riche. Tous les morceaux sont excellents. Christophe

From the first to the last note, this is a highly accomplished offering. Moving through various themes and movements, the songs on the album lead us by the hand of fate from heartbreak, through despair, and onwards to eventual hope, acceptance and redemption. Charlie Bramald’s lyrics and delivery are a masterclass in performance, all ably backed up by consummate and confident musicianmanship from the band members. Highly recommended. Dean Thom
