The background for the inspiration of course is Homer and the tales on the Trojan war. But Kassandra does not tell a story – it’s a kind of a painting with an ancient scenery or maybe just a sketch: Kassandra in front of the burning city. And it could be a modern painting. We are in a distance of more than 3.000 years to the plot of the ancient tales – and still mankind has Kassandras and tears in front of burning cities.

Working on Kassandra i had in mind from the beginning that Cindy will take the main voc in this song. So i wrote the harmonies and the song structure with that in mind and i love how she sings the song. Kassandra also includes a few notes played with a Greek Baglamas and helps the song to get a special note. This string instrument is the small sister of a Bouzouki. 

lyrics:
on sungod days in the morning dew
the tears of kings are just a few
meaningless rain drops

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
and the ships are grounded

in the golden light of the afternoon
she is dancing like the queen of doom
she blinks into the sunlight

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
into the sky
into the sky

Running On by Darius (Original by Randy Belculfine)

I don't know what this is really,probably just more DV bollox!

The inspiration for the track came last year when part of my favourite walk was closed for renovations,but I sneaked in past the barriers most days anyway!
Being alone is a landscape prompted be to imagine I was the only person left alive. This in turn took me to what we are doing to the planet and what we might do to help.
Yeah,I was right the first time,more DV bollox!

Taking the shortcut
Past the sign pathway closed
I know I really shouldn't
But as long as no one knows

The sea is ever present
Turning pebbles into sand
As I begin my descent 
Into no man's land

Could be the world has ended
Erased the human race
There are times I have pretended
We didn't leave a trace

Fragile our existence
Living unaware
Yet somewhere in the distance
A rolling nightmare

Reflecting on our being
We seek to understand
Looking but not seeing
We live in Wonderland

Could be the world has ended
Erased the human race
There are times I have pretended
We didn't leave a trace

Wonderland

Somewhere Between Mercury and Mars

Somewhere Between Mercury and Mars - Original - Randy Belculfine

A tribute to my Da. He's a shadow of his former self,but still hanging in there.

I was born in the golden time
Ten years after war
People didn't have too much
But they worked damn hard for more
All those years of uneasy truce
Before the long farewell
The truth of making peace with you
Was to make peace with myself

Well I don't really know if you're a good man as such
I don't really know if it means that much
All those years I held a grudge
But I'm old now myself and I'm slower to judge.

I used to think you hated me and punished me each day
But no father held your hand,no one showed the way
You did your best to guide me through the good and bad
But you never read the book,'How to be a Dad'.

Well I don't really know if you're a good man as such
I don't really know if it means that much
All those years I held a grudge
But I'm old now myself and I'm slower to judge.

Ah,the times were good
We had a ball
We didn't make much money
Sometimes none at all

We played our songs
Believed the part
All that we played and sang
Came from the heart

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

Ah time moves fast
But we move slow
Nothing ever lasts
We weren't to know

Burned out and faded
The passion gone
Going through the motions
For every well known song

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night
