As somber as the title suggests, it is a melancholic ballad that shows the saddest and most personal side of the band, highlighting a darkened array of emotions through thoughtful, powerful chords of an acoustic guitar and a warm vocal performance.

The Origin of Suffering

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain

The lyrics are a mix of Far From Your Sun’s own input and an extract from the William Ernest Henley poem from 1875, Invictus. It relies on a strong main riff while being complemented by a very active rhythm section and a wide variety of rhythm changes, maintaining the band’s progressive tendencies quite in the forefront.

Enough

A track that has a slow acoustic build up until reaching a pleasant yet melodic and heartfelt mid-pace. A song that relies on rhythm changes and melodies that flow with the ease of sand in the desert.

A Crown Without Thorns

What if Jesus never wanted to come back to Earth? 
This is a question that is expressed in the lyrics of The Hand and the Voice, a slow piano ballad that slowly builds up into a powerful statement about humanity and spirituality as a whole. 
A touching, heartfelt expression about the many questions that faith can generate upon you.

The Hand and the Voice

"The Origin of Suffering", the new Far From Your Sun album, will take you from the banks of the Nile in Ancient Egypt to the heart of the 19th century and the poems of Emily Dickinson and Oscar Wilde, from the coming of Jesus on earth to the signs of the end of the world. Prepare yourself for a historical, spiritual, emotional and artistic journey.
