I love the way you build the instrumentation, hold back the bass and drums and then that brass towards the end.  Great sound to this

A super-appealing track. Fabulous instrumentation and vocals!

Even here in San Diego! But no frost so I won't complain. Good song!

Nice one with the eal sounds and heart. Great job! 10

Very nice with a catchy hook! Didn't know that country music is popular in Germany, too  :)

Nice! Loving the new song. Takes me home:) Great arrangement, musicianship, and that smooth chocolate voice as always. But what’s close to my heart is you’re a writer first. A Great storyteller.  👊🏻

excellent nod to 70s americana folk, especially The Boxer. nicely done

Great songwriting. I'm detecting a bit of Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles and a whole heap of originality. Great chorus.

Love this! Excellent songwriting, and some unexpected instrumentation, which elevates the track from good to great! 👍❤

Words:

Fire serpents and dragons are stirring 
Deep down in the hard, cold iron of Earth. 

Slithering land wights are waking, 
And wriggling and stretching, 
Woken from their sleep by the return 
Of the song of the Sun, 
Its melody singing all dreamers awake,
To light the cauldrons and fasts to break. 

Lady Slipper yawns and opens her petals 
To a bold west wind ruffling her labellum.
Thunderclouds above ominously threaten. 

An ash in full livery, its leaves right on time,  
Stands next to the winter-nude of an oak. 
So the old wives mutter in iambic rhyme,
“Ash before oak, we’re in for a soak.” 

Great Spotted Woodpecker drills Mars’s drum 
In a military tattoo, to marshall the bugs,
The soldier beetles and bark-gnawing weevils, 

Now Luna turns russet red in Earth’s umbra, 
A covenant of balmier days without number. 

Wyrm moon, Cold moon, Sap Moon
Pulling on the tides, rising 
And not just in the flooded rhynes, but 
Coursing up the loins of men too, 
Their reveries of love fine-tuned 
To Jack in the Green’s reciting 
To the tremolo thrill of Pan’s piping

Labyrinth Spider stands guard on the dell, 
While Salamanders ring the bluebells 
To peal out harsh winter’s fare-thee-well. 

Pixie-cup lichen arrives in the Vale, 
And elves riding turkeys with blue ruffled tails
Then ... Amanita Muscaria sings her aria, 
And Cuckoo tells us Spring is finally here.

Sanctuary

Left here brokenhearted
Beneath the falling rain
Can someone save me?

Across the great divide
The chasm opens wide
All seems lost

Thrown against the wall
Who will break my fall
I’m on my knees

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home

Now I stand alone
Holding up my hands
The sky is falling

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Your kingdom’s not
Of this world

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Through grace death
holds no mastery

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home

Sanctuary (TOTHM and Cosmic Keanu)

V1
Hey girl, where you at
You catch my eye
Did you throw it back
So far away 
Are you looking right through me
What can I do girl
To be the one you see 

Chorus
Where do you go to
When you’re drifting 
Am I in your view 
I’m waiting here at my opened door
Hoping you’ll walk through  

V2
I watch, as you scroll
I see a smile
And it jars my soul 
Is that a guy 
Who is living in your head
Or is it me girl
Or are my thoughts misread 

Repeat Chorus

M8
Hope, as I’m frozen here in fear
Planning my approach 
Do you know that I exist
Hope, that I’m the one you see 
When you’re drifting off into
That world where you always seem to be

Break

Chorus
