Lost In Translation

2024 Remaster version for full album release in 2025.
 
This final track of the album acts as a bookend to the project, departing via the causeway after arriving over the sands in the first track, 'The Pilgrim's Way'.

The idea behind this piece is exploring the duality of the causeway and of Lindisfarne itself. Sometimes the causeway is below the water and sometimes above. Lindisfarne is in turn an island cut off from the modern world, then reconnected for a while before the cycle repeats itself.

Connection versus isolation, spiritual versus material, water and dry land in balance, governed by the ever changing tides. Even the concept of the water itself somehow holding echoes of past times and the call of of the natural world. This last idea is also a convenient way to reprise some of the 'Foley' sounds from the rest of the album, a worthy goal for the last track of this project. This piece is truly eclectic in nature so please enjoy the journey.

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Background

When composing instrumental music you can often find yourself separating a piece into various thematic sections to create a journey for the listener. 'Causeway Dreams' breaks down into six sections. One of them is very short, (A Meeting of Worlds) but this crucially acts as a musical nexus or balance point in the music,

1) Into the Depths
The journey begins by plunging the listener below the water of the covered causeway, an alien world where the natural world, history and spiritual feelings all fuse together in the restless sea. The power of the sea is very much a feature in this first section. There is peril for the unwary, man cannot control this element of nature, only react to it's moods.

2) In a Place of Wonder
This lighter section featuring harp and flute introduces a feeling of wonder as you remain below the water with the creatures that call the sea their home.

3) Island Echoes
Still below the water you begin to hear echoes of 'Foley' sounds from previous tracks in the project brought together in this underwater realm, suggesting a merging of history and nature, an 'island memory', captured in the surrounding water of the island. At the end of this section you begin to ascend back towards the emerging causeway.

4) A Meeting of Worlds
As you emerge from the water you are in that moment of balance between the two worlds. The voice you first heard in 'The Pilgrims Way' is ready to lead you home.

5) Travelling Home
As the sea finally recedes, the rolling feel of acoustic DADGAD guitar and low whistle feature to lead the listener as you travel across the now fully uncovered causeway back towards the Northumbrian mainland.

6) The Call of the Coast
As you travel further along the causeway, you hear the sound of Northumbrian pipes over a boisterous bodhrán backing. The mainland is calling to you but the voice you first heard in the Pilgrims Way soars as a final reminder of this special place.

Lyrics: Dub double and twice (collab Llanpsych)  

Don’t know what she’s thinking
Don't know what she’s hiding
She don’t talk a lot
She looks really hot

She is so mysterious 
That’s what you like, i guess 
Don’t wanna fall in love,
To late you are a mess

She is very clever
She don’t tell her secrets 
Her recipe for succes
She wants more, don’t settle for any less

Anything she wants 
She wants it  double and twice

dub double and twice (collab Llanpsych)

A fun melodic power groove, with lots of layers to unwrap and fall into the beat.

TITLE: VISION OF TOMORROW
__________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
In the night so deep and wide
I can see the truth inside
Through the mists and swirling light
Whispers tell of future sight

(Verse 2)
Eyes so keen that see beyond
Mystery is our bond
Fingers tracing lines ahead
Destiny’s the thread we’ve bled

(Chorus)
Feel the beat and close your eyes
Visions come like fireflies
Dance with shadows in the air
See tomorrow everywhere

(Bridge)
Thoughts untangle in the breeze
Dreams unfold with gentle ease
Stars are singing into me
Secrets in the harmony

(Verse 3)
Paths we walk are traced in stars
Foretell sorrows heal the scars
Wisdom’s song in echoes clear
Guides us through the hidden fear

(Chorus)
Feel the beat and close your eyes
Visions come like fireflies
Dance with shadows in the air
See tomorrow everywhere

(Outro)
Here we go into the future of what is foreknown. Delight in the power of the union of positive psyches sown. Feel the soul tingle as we join our singles. Will & spirit's manifestation softly moan. You're no longer alone.
