Lyrics:

Peaceful mind, calm waves
Content serenity
Seclusion suits me, no storm takes me by surprise

It’s just a small thrill when the lights go dim
But a presence lights the room
I’ll just bite my tongue, but I’ll get my fill
When a smile lights up the room (2x)

All trouble fades away when a brightness fills the room
My sorrow fades away when a light brightens the room
No grimness, spite or fear can take my lightness from the room
He smiles and teases, says: can’t take my lightness from the room (repeat ad nauseam)

Presence

Can't live by only bread, won't satisfy
Need something for my head to glorify
Need something for my heart to tenderize
And that thing you got that makes me appetize
Won't you lay it down all over me?

You cut right through the specter of my games
You come right to the center of my shame
You put cracks in my face's hollow pride
And shine a light on places I'd rather hide
Won't you lay it down all over me?

Never been a simple man
Won't you take me as I am
Never been a simple man
I know you can understand

Won't you lay it down all over me?

Lay It Down All Over Me

"On Your Mother's Words" is a poignant and emotionally charged track that reflects on the strength of promises and the resilience needed to endure life's challenges. Set against the fading light of twilight, the lyrics evoke a sense of unwavering commitment, as the narrator holds true to their word through joy and pain. The imagery of a "wounded heart" and the search for solace creates a journey of healing and hope, guided by the quiet wisdom of a mother's words. With its introspective tone and heartfelt lyrics, the song carries a timeless message about loyalty, love, and perseverance. Fans of The Cranberries, Mazzy Star, and Sarah McLachlan will connect with the ethereal melodies and reflective storytelling.

In twilight's fading light
Whispers of the past ignite
On your mother's words, I swear
To keep this promise, standing there
Through the winds and through the rain
I'll hold true, through joy and pain.

Oh, my wounded heart, it cries
Searching where our solace lies
Through valleys deep and over hills
Following the hope that fills
Guided by the stars above
On your mother's words, I swear

**The Sun Paints Red** by Laxá & Heima Kvartett is a sweeping post-rock journey that captures the stark beauty of the Icelandic landscape. Jussi Siglarson's guitar lines shimmer like distant northern lights, weaving through a dense soundscape where Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses like an underground river and Matthias Helguson's drums crash like waves on a stormy shore.

The strings, led by Lisbeth Heima and her ensemble—Sif Árnadóttir, Natasha Guðmundsdóttir, and Ída Sigurðardóttir—move between fragile whispers and powerful, cinematic peaks. Mike Taylor's keyboards add depth, filling the space between with layers that feel both expansive and grounded. The track is a journey through light and shadow, where each instrument paints a vivid scene in deep reds and golds, reflecting the raw, untamed spirit of Iceland.

The Sun Paints Red by Laxá [Post Rock Music from Iceland]

Two young boys with a burning plan
Gonna change the world, take a stand
With fire in their eyes and dreams held tight
Promised they'd stay in the light
"Don't be evil," they would say
Gonna build a world that won't betray
Rise above, and never fall

But every step comes with a price
The truth gets lost in sacrifice
Holding tight, they walk that line
Until they can't tell wrong from right

Don't be evil, don't lose sight
When the dark feels like the light
Once so clear, now it's blurred
Don't be evil, hold your word

Years went by, they gained control
Building empires took its toll
Chains were broken, crowns were won
But shadows crept when the fight was done
They held the power, ruled the game
But the whispers started just the same
The lines they drew began to fade
And so did the vow they made

The stakes got high, the walls came down
"Don't be evil" feels like a ghost in town
Promises fade in the face of might
When you're holding the kingdom tight

Don't be evil, don't lose sight
When the dark feels like the light
Once so clear, now it's blurred
Don't be evil, hold your word

Don't be evil, don't lose sight
When the dark feels like the light
Once so clear, now it's blurred
Don't be evil, hold your word

Don't be evil, don't lose sight
When the dark feels like the light
Once so clear, now it's blurred
Don't be evil, hold your word

Don't Be Evil
