LYRICS:
We play it cool
And keep our distance
Slips like water through our hands
We forget how it feels
There’s a ghost inside us
There are hands on your eyes
Spaces in between us
There are places we can’t hide
The heat and the light of this broken devotion
Don’t forget what it’s like, Let me let you go
You stand so quiet next to me
And I see it’s getting dark
It’s something in the air we breathe
And how it keeps us far apart
Put the record on
The wave is cresting beneath us
Our time and consequence
Binding us to fires we burn
In our hearts
The heat and the light
Of this broken devotion
Don’t forget what it’s like
Let me let you go

Fears – Fabric [ohjann Remix]

Your Wolves 

This is not your native darkness
I invite you in 
I regret that I encroach upon
your light so long-reaching
What creature am I?
I have been asking
I am no night creature 
but the night does want me 

Oooooooooooh

Will you hide from your wolves?
Will you hide, will you hide?
Will you hide from your wolves?
Will you hide, will you hide?
Your unworthinesses, your pets,
your tagalongs,
when you tell them you're done with them
they lie down for a while,
like good dogs.

You're lying down as I write this part
your face breaks my heart 
It's like that thing they say 
I feel we rise from the same clay 
How is it my sky caves in
and through cracks in my darkness
I see you still standing 
in the realm of the sun? 
A smile within your eyes,
counting true things like money;
sorcery is so simple.
I only see that now 

Will you hide from your wolves?
Will you hide? Will you hide?
Will you hide from your wolves? 
Will you hide? Will you hide?
Your unworthinesses, 
your pets, your tagalongs,
When you tell them you're  done with them
they lie down for a while,
like good dogs.

Allow me to take you for granted 
and I'll be a given
They have seen fit to bestow gifts,
let us not question it.
I look to you when I'm 
not feeling worthy 
and you and only you 
untie all my points of pain.
I am unlearning terror -
Empty promiser,
Inflammation of the soul -
Let's have a new fire 

Will you hide from your wolves?
Will you hide? Will you hide?

Your Wolves

ABOUT:

'Waiting Space' is an audio & visual project - and alias of Waterford-based, musician and artist, Chris Falconer.

Through a D.I.Y. process that is enabled by contemporary technologies, as 'Waiting Space', he creates self-recorded/self-produced songs - characterised by dynamic vocals and cinematic instrumentals, typically blending programming, electronics, and live-instrumentation. Each piece of musical-output is 'complemented' by visuals which Falconer independently creates in response - including artwork, animations, and short films.

'Waiting Space' began in 2013 as a side project - initially a platform for musical ideas that 'did not fit' his existing bands’ catalogues. As other projects subsequently went on extended hiatuses, and Falconer found himself with an increasingly irregular schedule in which to create music (as his artistic-output was forced to compete with his full-time work within the architecture-industry), embracing Waiting Space as a solo/D.I.Y. project, and recording in domestic settings, made increasing sense.

The process also acted as a catalyst for Falconer to learn more about the technical aspects of music-making, including recording, mixing, & producing, and developing new skills in animation and video-production, in order to create the 'appropriate' visuals to match his sounds & words.

Radioplay has included RTÉ Lyric FM, RTÉ 2FM, Beat 102-103, a number of regional stations, and occasional international radioplay. Uniquely, given the project's visual aspect, Waiting Space has also crossed over into the gallery world: the Waiting Space piece 'Cocoon' (accompanied by a drone video filmed by Falconer of an empty Waterford City during COVID-19 ‘lockdown'), featured in the exhibition 'Stories From Lismore & Beyond' in Lismore Castle Arts Gallery; and Waiting Space has also been commissioned by the Luan Gallery Athlone, to create a number of musical-scores for ‘virtual walkthrough’ videos of the gallery’s exhibitions, a number of times during 2020 and 2021. Most recently, a Waiting Space audio/visual piece called ‘Unseen Happenings’, was commissioned by Garter Lane Arts Centre in Waterford, with the installation being viewable on-site in March 2022.
