Waltz for Marie

December is from the album Tide available for pre-order from Butterfly Collectors:

http://www.butterfly-collectors.com/tide

December is written and lead by multi-instrumentalist, Jeff Smith. Thus, it marks a stylistic departure from the band’s orchestral origins, featuring a minimalistic overture that eases into a delicate piano riff in the minor key. 

Layered with ethereal female harmonies including singer/songwriter Milly Hirst, Jeff’s unaffected vocals cut deep into the marrow, sublime in their simplicity. December ascends through the angular drums of latest band member, Alex Mackenzie - whose trip-hop beat accents the trumpet / violin contrapuntal melodies into a maudlin, macabre Mariachi march.


WOODEN ARMS - December

Im Schatten des Lichts

You know what?
I'd really like you to stay.

Why does it have to be so sad?
I love you. 
I don't want it to fade away,
I don't want it to become a memory.
Maybe I just don't want to face reality.

You're everything, to me.
When the end of the world comes, I'd like it to be this way.
I want to be with you on Doomsday..

I Want to Be With You on Doomsday

The Wrecking Ball Company

My darling, I loved you
I long to become you
And know what it is that you gave
We dance the sorrow
Forgive me tomorrow
And I pray night after night and day after day
Would you watch my body weaken
And my mind drift away?
Dear lover forsaken, our love is taken away
You were my speaker, my innocence-keeper
I don't night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken,
My mind drift away?
Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage
Oh I should just leave you, instead I've deceived you
But I don't
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken and mind drift away?
I count no one, hold nobody's ear
I sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear
I don't stand for the devil
I don't whisper in ears
I stand on the mountains and call people to hear
Sudden bursts of light, it's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
He longs for the answers, as all of us must
He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
He screams in the night, I scream in the day
He weeps in the evening and lies naked and prays
Night after night, day after day
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken and my mind drift away?
It's a tempting communion
It's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
What it is that you're told
