Xenia Kriisin - Blackout

GHOSTLIGHT ORCHESTRA - North Korea

December is from the album Tide available for pre-order from Butterfly Collectors:

http://www.butterfly-collectors.com/tide

December is written and lead by multi-instrumentalist, Jeff Smith. Thus, it marks a stylistic departure from the band’s orchestral origins, featuring a minimalistic overture that eases into a delicate piano riff in the minor key. 

Layered with ethereal female harmonies including singer/songwriter Milly Hirst, Jeff’s unaffected vocals cut deep into the marrow, sublime in their simplicity. December ascends through the angular drums of latest band member, Alex Mackenzie - whose trip-hop beat accents the trumpet / violin contrapuntal melodies into a maudlin, macabre Mariachi march.


WOODEN ARMS - December

CORNER MAN

You know what?
I'd really like you to stay.

Why does it have to be so sad?
I love you. 
I don't want it to fade away,
I don't want it to become a memory.
Maybe I just don't want to face reality.

You're everything, to me.
When the end of the world comes, I'd like it to be this way.
I want to be with you on Doomsday..

I Want to Be With You on Doomsday

Evi Vine - Inside Her

Don't ask if you don't wanna know
There's no one else here who do
And don't rise if you don't plan to go
Or know where you're going to

And don't jump when you know you can't fly
At least you don't seem to have wings
That can bring your head higher than mine
I have my plane to settle in
You have your thoughts
That's where I win

Don't dream when you can't make it real
They're only fictions anyway
And don't love if you really want to feel
The spiking sense of grey
Our spiking sense
