Pathos Of Distance, String Quartet No 2

Hopeless was nearly @muterial months ago, but became one of 3 components in a Mantidae track - see https://soundcloud.com/muterial/sets/mantidae - in collaboration with Humanfobia and Assa.  It's no longer there, unfortunately, but now this is!

Hopeless

The title track of this release was inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. We hear of the feats of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, but there was a third man on that mission that is often left out of the narrative. Michael Collins was tasked with piloting the command module "Columbia" as it orbited the moon awaiting the return of the "Eagle" from the lunar surface. Newspapers at the time referred to Collins as the "loneliest man in the universe," but interviews with the man himself reveal an experience of solitude that was anything but lonely. He rejected the title and described the immense feeling of gratitude and awe that fell upon him as he circled the moon. We were enamored by the depth of this experience of wonder and made an attempt to capture something of it through a song that is primarily an appeal to the Greek god Apollo for his aid in space travel.

We hope you enjoy this as well as the other two tracks on this release. If you are interested in seeing what else we are up to, please check out our youtube channel, where, among other things, we take harpsichords to places they shouldn't be and play songs they shouldn't play.

Lyrics:
Time flowed softly by,
Now nothing is left to tinge the path outside
Surf through the last of tides

The sweetest thoughts
are carried by your smile

It is now you get to see
What you might have missed
Hear the music play the tunes
That hid within the mist

Strumming to the beat
Carried by the wind

A state of…
Falling past the rigid edge of time
Straighten out your wings
Figure there’s no space for letting yourself down

Fly beyond the limits of your dreams
I can’t feel the earth
Holding down my feet
No more

It’s time, that hopes unite,
Untie the heavy feeling, let your heart ignite
A sense of life
Unblemished by the thoughts inside your mind

Far away from sight
Things may be unclear
Strategies have gone wrong
But you will seek to persevere

Carry on your track
One step at a time
