What's so agonizing about love? 
Even if it anchors the bruises in your heart, 
it can rekindle the flame forever thought to be gone

What's so overwhelming about loss?
It gives a value to the ones you haven't lost,
The ones you keep right at your side, the ones you will not leave behind

Don't walk away from what makes you human again
The choice is yours to make
Dream yourself awake

What's so terrifying about life? 
There is no reason to let go of the time
And the time is a lie, and your suffering's a lie and the truth is a lie

Don't walk away from what makes you human again
The choice is yours to make
Dream yourself awake

Dream Yourself Awake

Silhouettes fading 
In the stairs, nothing 
The clock’s ticking away

Murmurs and glances 
Come to their senses 
While others go astray

Words are just steam out in the cold

Slowly it freezes 
Motionless dances 
Bring out another day 

Murmurs and glances
Come to their senses
Oh, how the minds should stray

Words are just steam out in the cold
Until the hazy dawn drapes it all 
And if you come along, I bet you’d come along 
Words don’t mean a thing when you’re alone

Murmurs and Glances

The moon is up and proud
The wind is hissing through the swings and slides
The night has set on the town 
I've heard the foxes cry and the sirens of a car
In the pouring rain of March 
Peckham looks quite morose tonight

The time stands still inside
And your face in the blue light
Adorns my Heron House
I capture your smile in a distant pantomime
I want you by my side
Peckham, if you’re there, is a place that comes alive

I will build out of your eyes
Elephants and castles in the sky

Through the markets and crowd we were only passing by
Wherever I may go, Peckham's anywhere you are

Peckham

I live in a world where the rivers and the lakes are flowing dry
Where a million drops of water couldn't quench the raging thirst of passers-by

All the strongest winds have blown, all the bravest birds have flown
All the fires they have burned, all the tables they have turned 

Bring me back to the land of time
Bring me back to the land of time

The silence has struck, for the chants and serenades remain unsung 
It is hard to comprehend how I lost my strike of luck when yesterday the love was blooming in the sun 

Bring me back to the land of time
Bring me back to the land of time

Land Of Time

You cast a shadow on the ground 
The steps you take will leave a trace

You cannot walk you're on the run 
It's getting hard to stop the chase 
And look around 

You're going forward 
but can't you see you're looking down 
You should head towards the dreams that keep you off the ground 
The best part is yet to come

The life you lead is worth your while  
It gives you more than you would think 

You're going forward 
but can't you see you're looking down 
You should head towards the dreams that keep you off the ground 
The best part is yet to come

Look Around

In his pop rock compositions, Blue Yser combines smooth ballads depicting his sometimes embellished, sometimes cynical vision of humanity with upbeat songs that are textually more engaged. 

His influences and inspirations range from the lyric virtuosity of folk singers like Leonard Cohen or Tim Buckley to the dreamy universe of bands such as the Cocteau Twins or Slowdive. 

Blue Yser's music originates from disillusions, fear and anger but – first and foremost – takes its energy from hope, love and aspirations. Like a river that flows still for most of its journey, his music sometimes take a tumultuous course.
