Floating Ashes - I See You

AWAKENING OF SORROWS

Le Mur

Lyrics:

Just a fleeting moment of infinity
I stand enchanted lost in the view.
The crescent moon softly grins
As you fade into the shadows.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

A tranquil silent instant lingers
A frozen memory carved in the air.
Tears distort the world before me
Eyes like sunken wrecks below.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

Just a scratch across eternity
I stand frozen watching still.
The dawn like a silent film
Reveals the story of your vanishing.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.

A tranquil silent instant lingers
A frozen memory carved in the air.
Tears distort the world before me
Eyes like sunken wrecks below.
... And then the dark
... And then the dark.


- Sound manipulation, lyrics and produce by KRUR -

... And then the Dark

i'm hearing the voice inside my head again
lost i am
lost i am

i'm hearing the voice inside my head again
lost i am
lost i am

i'm hearing the voice
i'm hearing the voice

inside my head
inside my head
inside my head...

BEFORE EDM THERE WAS EBM 😉

I am breathing electronic music since late 70s and that's over 45 years now. From Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo, Alphaville, Men without Hats, Nitzer Ebb, Die Krupps, Front 242, Anne Clark, Camouflage, Gary Numan, OMD, Apopytygma Berzerk and even the Commodore 64 demo & break dance scene to more contemporary Electronic music artists, I witnessed the evolution of Electronic music, which basically means I am an old fart and consider myself an authority in this music genre 😵 Currently I listen DnB almost exclusively. But I do not like to restrict myself at all, enjoying flavors like Electronica, Trance, Psytrance, Tech House, Dubstep, Deep House, Future Pop, Trap, Techno, UK Bass and of course EBM/Industrial as well.

What you will find in my likes and playlists is the top of the crop in Electronic Music, I will  absolutely not list any bullshit. A track I have not listed might be just that: Bullshit, just mediocre or an artistic gem which I haven't discovered yet.
