The Future Is Unknown

### The Rose and The Rope by Laxá

COVER ART BY FRASER CORMACK - Angry sky over Mosstodloch

In Ísafjörður, Iceland, Laxá's evocative piece "The Rose and The Rope" unfolds without words, instead conveying emotions through its music. With a blend of 80s reggae-influenced bass and post-rock guitars and strings, the composition creates a rich, immersive experience.

Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses with the deep, resonant groove reminiscent of 80s reggae, setting the stage for the journey. Matthias Helguson's drums join with a steady pace, their beats echoing through the fjord's stillness. Jussi Siglarson's guitar melodies soar and dive, embodying the post-rock essence with layers of emotion. Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal textures, blending with the ensemble's soundscape.

The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima (violin), Sif Árnadóttir (violin), Natasha Guðmundsdóttir (viola), and Ída Sigurðardóttir (cello)—enrich the piece with their strings. Lisbeth and Sif's violins intertwine like fragile rose vines, while Natasha's viola adds haunting undertones and Ída's cello provides depth and strength.

Together, the music represents the delicate balance between beauty and resilience, akin to the rose and rope symbolizing life's contrasts. The composition evolves, capturing Iceland's rugged beauty and emotional depth.

### The Origin of the Title

The title "The Rose and The Rope" has a poignant backstory. During a tour, Jussi Siglarson and Bjarne Guðjohnsen stayed in a remote village. Their host, an elderly woman, had a unique artifact hanging on her wall—a dried rose tied with a rugged rope. Intrigued, Jussi asked about its significance.

The woman recounted a tale from her youth. During a harsh winter, the village was cut off by snowstorms, and supplies were scarce. The young woman tended a rose bush through the winter, finding solace in its survival. Her future husband, determined to support the village, crafted a rope to brave the snow and gather provisions.

In spring, as the village emerged from the cold, the rose bloomed, symbolizing resilience. On their wedding day, the man gave the rose tied with the rope to the woman, representing their balance of beauty and strength.

Moved by this story, Laxá adopted "The Rose and The Rope" as the title, reflecting the harmonious blend of emotions and themes in their music. It symbolizes unity, strength, and beauty amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of their composition.

Le violon de Zied ZOUARI donne une certaine émotion à la chanson dont le texte est sensible, et Juan SAUBIDET toujours aussi sobre et efficace, tient la contrebasse.

paroles:
Un jour, ils viendront te chercher,
Tu entendras leurs pas légers.
Crisser sur le pâle gravier,
De ton enfance écartelée,
De ton enfance écarte les.
Ils te prendront dans leurs filets,
Comme un papillon esseulé,
Tes ailes mauves déployées,
Tu chercheras à t'envoler.
C'est comme ça quand la raison te quitte,
C'est comme ça quand la folie t'invite,
Quand les vagues déferlent,
Comme un collier de perles.
Et le temps ne t'appartient même plus,
Et le vent ne te parvient même plus,
Ta mémoire sombre fuit,
Comme une ville engloutie.
Comme une ville engloutie.
Regard absent que rien ne change,
Reflets de la folie qui mange.
Dans tes tiroirs secrets tu ranges,
Le vert, le bleu, le gris l'orange,
Le vert, le bleu, le gris l'orange.
Vénères tu un dieu, un diable,
Comme une denrée périssable.
Un écolier sans son cartable,
Aux matières, tu retires la table.
C'est comme ça quand la raison te quitte,
C'est comme ça quand la folie t'invite,
Quand les vagues déferlent,
Comme un collier de perles.
Et le temps ne t'appartient même plus,
Et le vent ne te parvient même plus,
Ta mémoire sombre fuit,
Comme une ville engloutie.
Comme une ville engloutie.
Un jour je te ressemblerai,
Et j'entendrai leur pas légers..

I Stutter My Love [FREE DOWNLOAD]

My faith is poured in this song. No lord will ever wash your feet but Christ himself. God bless you all!

Lyrics:
Don't keep on falling to the dark
hear the voice in your mind
Holy spirit is aching to rearise

Let it clean away your strife
your one and only God
step away from trouble
dont wait a lifetime

(R)
Livin' on a prayer 
some one hears your cries

Livin' on a prayer
say it aloud glory to the Christ

He waits along the way 
dont bleed another day
there's someone who bled out for your part

Guided by the hallow hand
with father in command
rebuke the satan
don't wait a lifetime

(B)
Light that covers a time frame
beating heart and soul of every nation
trust that he's the truth, the only right way
to save your soul from fire and damnation 

(R)

He had a sacred mission
to drive them in submision
the violent sins that everyone
was gnawing around

So i am asking now
for you to say it
with a shout

Glory to the Christ

Livin' On a Prayer
