"You are eyes, 
what you know you don't tell, 
you've been cast in a spell, 
it's a life just like mine, 
where you see and you breathe 
in the view from the trees, 
all your life, clouds and sky, 
and cliffs they look to the sea, 
ever longing to be of the tides, 
hands are tied, regardless of crimes, 
committed through times, 
we'll just cry, we'll be fine, 
so take the weight off your shoulders and fight 
for your life, we'll be fine, just like wine, 
when you drink from the bottle, 
not sip from the glass, 
you don't ask, how am I? 
Let's just keep to ourselves, 
nice and safe on a shelf, 
we'll just spy, with your eyes 
^^^^^^^^ 
spin turns into a blur, 
marked by dates and the words 
of the birds, must be high, 
too high to see down, 
what's looking up from the ground, 
you just sigh, we'll be fine, 
take the weight of our shoulders and fight 
for your life, we'll be fine." 
- Joe Puccio

You Are Eyes

How many times have you worked with someone you were really attracted to?


That Girl From Work

In general, women are better people than men.

This Fluid State

"If time stops at the speed of light, and if you could become light itself, 
You would not experience the passage of time."
                                                                            ----Andria

The "spirit voice" speaking through and with the android girl, explains this to the boy to calm his fears as she transforms his dying body into a machine.
She tells him, becoming mechanical is just one transformation in a long line of possibilities.
Andria believes they may eventually become beings of light and experience existence as one eternal day.

"I loved "the universal way". After listening to more, I feel the music with eyes closed and penetrating my mind with a soft caress of my over responsive sinapsis ... Sorry, but your music cannot be expressed any other way ... I feel my dopamine slowly giving me a moment to relax rather than its relentless power to over replicate its consistent over production... this probably doesnt make a word of sense but music like yours can be felt from the inside out and my neuro difficulties find a place in my mind to relax like i haven't in such a long time... i love your music! My neurologic fall from grace is best comforted by how relaxed you and your wife make me feel from your talents." -Mike HC Wilson, Musician

"This project is so cool and brilliant and unexpected! I love the music and the artwork (the art is intense...). When I saw the image first (before I read the story), I thought it looked like it was new age meets steam punk ... I love to see something that is a brand new hybrid -- Once I read the story it made sense and for me now the image feels like---sci fi meets new age meets steam punk : ) the music is of course impeccable and oh so beautiful.... I look forward to the development and really am inspired..." -Joella March, Artist

"Have long been a fan of gorgeous Familiar Trees and when vocalist Fabiola Sanchez sent me an invitation to listen to their new project, I pulled my ears for me. Music, art and ideas in a relationship I am attracted to. Icons Of Andria is a collaboration between Rodney Sellars of The Year Zero and Ken Negrete and Fabiola Sanchez of Familiar Trees . The music is harmonious and beautiful in a moderate pace... Mazzy Star , Slow Dive and Bat For Lashes are acts that pop up in my mind and I just want more. Icons Of Andria is working on a concept album that will be published on the web song to song, and today's track The Universal Way was the first of many more I hope." - Fredrik Hoffman, HOFFAS MUSIK BLOGG

The Universal Way

The "Luna" tarot card signifies good luck and a safe voyage through time and space but also from this existence to the next. 

"The Girl Who knows Where The Stars Are" as she is often called, dwells in the heavens and is familiar with the ways there. This allows her to see the lines of benevolent destinies within the web of all possible futures.

'The Girl Who Knows Where...'
(Lyrics by Rodney Sellars & Lili De La Mora)

You and I, 
the stars, the sky
the moon alights
the girl who knows
the way to go 
through the night
to the light
on this tiny island 
floating through the sea
luna makes us shine
she makes us feel good
every time we take this ride
we rise & shine again
far away, the modern age
the ruins of the sacred place
on this tiny island
there's just you and me
luna makes us shine
she makes us feel good
every time we take this ride
we rise & shine again

The Girl Who Knows Where ...

The boy's health was failing when they came across the wreckage of the ancient craft.
Andria carefully untangled the ships massive solar sail. As she freed it, the sail unfurled itself high into the air and the ship began to rise from the debris. She quickly carried the boy aboard as the vessel began to drift toward their destination.

Though they most likely traveled in a ship, common lore often depicts Andria with wings.
The "Sail for Sol" may refer to the ship's sail itself but most believe it symbolizes a journey to the sun.

Sail For Sol 
(lyrics by Rodney Sellars)

I see your eyes 
I can feel your smile 
I wanna stay right here with you awhile 
I can feel your light 
I see you far away on a plane

Sail for Sol
I can see that old
shadow's gone for Sol
over the ground

Sail for Sol
I can see that old
shadow's gone for Sol
over the ground

And every time 
We get high 
You can spread your pretty wings
and fly 
We can ride 
A jet stream high above 
On the sky

Sail for Sol
I can see that old
shadow's gone for Sol
over the ground 

Sail for Sol
I can see that old
shadow's gone for Sol
over the ground

Sail For Sol

Andria and the boy sat on the edge of the Sky Sailor as it made it's way slowly over the landscape of the ruined world.

The boy looked down at the vast devastation."Do you think technology is a good thing?" He asked.

Andria thought for a moment. "I suppose it depends on what it's used for."
She paused.

"Would you like to see something beautiful?" She asked.

The boy looked at her an smiled. "Yes!"

Andria delicately manipulated the controls on her chest and a small opening appeared in the center. She carefully pulled out a small and beautifully intricate metallic object. It glittered with tiny blue and yellow lights.

The boys eyes widened. "Is this your heart?" The boy asked as he stared deeply into the layers of the complex little machine.

Andria smiled. "Something like that, perhaps my mind or my soul."

The boy was transfixed by it's beauty. "Can I touch it?"

"Yes." Andria said calmly.

The boy reached forward slowly. The Object was warm to the touch and he could feel a smooth tingling in his fingertips. He looked up at her face and said. "I think this technology is very good!"

Andria smiled. "So do I!"

Operator's Dream
(Lyrics by Rodney Sellars)
 
The Beautiful the true and brave
and all the things they love and save
they'll take you to another place in your mind
 
The train for heaven leaves today
it goes through hell along the way
It never knows when it has gone way too far
 
they only leave in one direction
 
I, I'm in the light
stay awhile
I don't know why I'm in the light
stay awhile
 
They took the radio too far
They played it to the lonely stations in the wilderness
they've been gone too long
 
This is the loneliness machine
The operators hopes and dreams
She'll take you to another place in your mind
 
They only leave in one direction
 
I, I'm in the light
stay awhile
I don't know why I'm in the light
stay awhile
I, I'm in the light
stay awhile
I don't know why I'm in the light
stay awhile

BACKSTORY:

The boy reached slowly for Andria. It seemed odd to be attracted to a machine.

Her skin was warmer than he had expected. She turned to look at him, slightly shocked but not offended.

She put her arm around his shoulders. Her eyes were like colorful voids, lines of blue and green seemed to fall from her irises into her pupils. He wanted to fall into the beautiful vortices.

"Does it give you pleasure to be touched?" He asked.

"Yes." She smiled.

"Why?" He asked.

"Early models of myself were indifferent to human contact. It was found however, that this made it difficult for them to empathize and therefore understand the needs of humans. One can only understand desire if they possess it themselves." 

She leaned her face in closer to his. They kissed. Her lips were cool and sweet.

It had been quite a long time since either of them had been held in such a way.

Icons Of Andria
(Lyrics by Rodney Sellars)

you and i 
in this vacant world 
you're such a pretty girl
under open skies
in this empty place
in your warm embrace
i wanna fall into your eyes
 
i believe in andria

it's only you and i
andria fall in love 
in the ruins of another age
i feel alive 
in this timeless place 
its so far away from everyone
and it never dies

i believe in andria
you and i 
in a beautiful space
believe in andria
you and i
in a beautiful space
believe in andria 
you and i 
in a beautiful space

'LAND OF RELICS' BACKSTORY:

Andria turned the pages slowly as she read the story of “The Ancient Troubles”.

The children looked up at her in wonder, her artificial voice had a soothing lilt to it, and her skin was so smooth and silvery. 

They had all come to love the ornate “machine lady” from another age. 

She looked out upon the beautiful city that had once lain in ruins.

She paused, moved by the thought of the dark days her and that boy had lived through.

“What’s wrong Miss Andria?” A boy child asked.

The sound of his voice pulled her out of the vision of that bygone era. 

She turned to see the boy’s face. It was honest and innocent like that of her ancient companion.

She smiled at the little one. She was not designed to cry in happiness.

Yet again, her old programming had wondered into new realms it could not navigate.

Quickly, she turned to look back upon the city skyline.

“Oh…I don’t know…I was thinking…the city…it’s just so beautiful isn’t it?”

The kids looked out on the elegant towers of the metropolis as flying ships gracefully drifted between them.

They could see it’s beauty anew as only children can.

'Land Of Relics'
(Lyrics by Rodney Sellars)

Here in vacant space
Down at the old abandoned place
We climb up to the top to walk all around
and Out across the sky
and far beyond, the reasons why
destiny is calling us
History is calling us
a mystery is calling us

Out in the wasteland
a civilization is covered in sand
what were the reasons
death and destruction took over the land
why were the people 
hurting each other, I don't understand

In a future state
when this reality is gone
we don't have to wait 
we know the vision was wrong 

with terrible weapons
that shine as bright as the sun
they fought a great battle
but in the end nobody won

time is on our side
we've got eternity here
we don't have to hide
in ancient enemy fear

the dawn of the miracle day
the sun is making those beautiful rays
and I can see peace in the new city arise
a unity state, singing the songs of the reason age

Halcyon Days

Tessellate (Bonus Track)

"It's kind of a dark solution story, but it's also a spiritual analogy. Basically this future world is poisoned, and a human boy is dying because of it. He finds an android woman who wants to save him. The only way she can do so is by transforming him into an machine like herself. I think it's my futuristic paranoia that machines will either be the death of us all, or our saviors!" -Rodney Sellars
