LYRICS
If every dream
Awakes to you
Awake to you
If every clock
Turns back to you
Turn back to you

So what fate awaits me
Without you, without you?
So what fate awaits me
Without you, without you?

If every road
Comes back to me
Come back to you
If every road
Comes back to you
Come back to me

So no fate awaits me
Without you, without you
So no fate awaits you (me)
Without you (me), without you (me)

No Fate Awaits Me (feat. Faux Fix)

Sweet & Deep Gothic Country. 

Wild Skies :
There was that awkward pause in her parting phrase, 
going down this road before the world was paved.
That silent ah--award an early grave,
is our bridge too far for those we want to, save

When all the time was just another shifting load,
on the shoulders of three brothers down the road.
All hesitating and unevenness displayed,
on the bridge too far for those we want to, save away

Ohh, the wild skies are not safe shelter in the storm
But their beauty is a fury we all know
Down from heaven, into heaven we all go,
from these fields of dust and clay where we were grown. 

When your sister, or some mother sits alone
In a cell made out of cardboard for a home
In a nest of all the troubles she can claim
the bridge too far for those who won’t be saved
  
Ohh, the wild skies are not safe shelter in the storm
But their beauty is a fury we all know
Down from heaven, into heaven we all go,
from these fields of dust and clay where we were grown. 

Ohh, the wild skies are not safe shelter in the storm
But their beauty is a fury we all know
Down from heaven, into heaven we all go,
from these fields of dust and clay where we were grown

Until The Colours Run

Another Tale From Another English Town

Raised by Swans is Canadian solo artist Eric Howden.

A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Howden has written, recorded and released three full-length independent albums as Raised By Swans thus far; Codes and Secret Longing (2005), No Ghostless Place (2010), and Öxnadalur (2014).  He is currently (2020) recording his fourth, set to be released later in the year.

Songs from Raised By Swans’ albums have not only drawn admiring words from media (reviews by Exclaim! and Rhombus magazines described No Ghostless Place as “13 moments of aural splendour…transcendent and angelic” and “starkly beautiful”; see here for more) but have made fans of some influential and well-respected filmmakers. Academy Award and Palm d’Or nominated director Atom Egoyan included three songs from Codes and Secret Longing in his film, Adoration (2009) and two songs from No Ghostless Place in the erotic thriller Chloe (2010). The then live version of the band also appears as itself in a scene in Chloe, which stars Julianne Moore, Amanda Seyfried and Liam Neeson.

“Violet Light” from Codes and Secret Longing is featured in novelist Douglas Coupland’s film Everything’s Gone Green (2007), voted Canadian Feature Film of the Year at the Vancouver International Film Festival. The song was included on the soundtrack CD for the film (Lakeshore Records) alongside such artists as Final Fantasy, The Golden Dogs, The Fembots, and Sloan.

Over the years prior to recording each at the House of Miracles, Howden writes and records fully orchestrated versions of each of his albums alone. Before 2013, he often fell back on using the pronoun “we” instead of “I” when referring to Raised By Swans, including presenting himself in biographical information as a band rather than a solo artist, as he felt most comfortable hiding within a fictional collective.  Fierce pride in his body of work eventually culminated in his sharing the truth in an interview conducted in between the release of No Ghostless Place and Öxnadalur.

For Öxnadalur (named after a valley in North Iceland, pronounced UX-na-DA-lure), Howden kept the final recording process even more close to the chest than he had on his previous two albums, and besides a few drum tracks added during the final weeks of recording, no other musicians were involved in its performance. He began writing its 14 songs in North Iceland in the winter of 2011, and subsequently devoted the next three years to building them part by part at Andy Magoffin’s House of Miracles recording studio in Cambridge, Ontario.  More information on Howden’s ties to Iceland here.

In 2013, the single ‘Sightings‘ was released, which was initially made available through bandcamp.com exclusively as a digital download. Howden wrote the song following a visit to Berlin, Germany in 2012.

In September 2016, Howden released ‘trains we both missed /pale blue black holes’, a “virtual 7-inch”, on bandcamp, iTunes and a number of other digital retailers; both songs may appear in slightly different forms on album #4.

Raised By Swans performed live sporadically in support of Öxnadalur throughout 2015, finishing out the year with a solo eastern European tour in November, including dates in Germany, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Croatia with UK-based Midas Fall.  He returned to Germany and Russia in October 2016, performed his first piano-and-voice only show in Toronto in early December 2016, and returned to Europe in November 2017 for a three week solo tour spanning seven countries, again as the opener for Midas Fall.
