This is a Prog Rock song with psychedelic lyrics. It is a co-write with Alex O'Brien (no relation), who assisted me with the lyrics. David Hynes provided the bass track and Roy Blake provide the Mastering. I did the rest. AI Imagery - Rich O'Brien.
Lyrics are below:

The sun blazes brightly
We see the daylight clear
The way to go
Away from what we fear
And follow towards the light
We summon from our dreams
The path destiny calls
Or so it seems

CHORUS
Our thoughts arise from a pool of liquid blue
Like the notes resound from a steel guitar
Arising from our sleep, a memory of murky hue
The truth of our lives is heard, an echo from afar

The rain falls
The river floods
The warm blood flows
Through our veins
Time passes by 
Leaves mysteries
We search and search
For eternity

BRIDGE
Shimmering springs wash away our deep despair
As we head to a place to live without a care


REPEAT CHORUS

An Echo From Afar

Morten created this fabulous Dub Reggae remix of our Snowflake song, which features Jörg's delightful flute play. It's amazing to have another track out there with these two wonderful musicians. 

My cat's (features in the cover pic) name is Lumi, which is Finnish for snow. She was partly an inspiration to this song as I sang the chorus spontaneously to her and she joined in, as she often does when I sing. I think this reggae version goes well with her nature. :)

This release is in honour of a couple birthday celebrations.

Breeze of Gravity

I went to the movies twice this summer, after not having been there since well before the pandemic. This music came out of that experience, as I was reminded of how much I love the cinema.

THE GROUND IS BLACK , THE SEA IS GREY
UNDER THESE FLAMES LIES THE TREACHERY OF THIS DAY
WE CRY THE APOCALYPSE OF A EDYLIC EDEN AT PLAY
ALL THE SOBE IN THE VOICE , EVEN FAR FROM HOME
DO CAUSE ME PAIN AND SORROW

FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING LEFT
BUT A UNCERTAIN TOMORROW
HE CAME RUNNING IN A IGNOBLE CONFLAGRATION
FLYING LIFE AFTER LIFE WITH DISDAIN AND CONTEMPS
FOR ISLANDERS AND FRIENDS
THESE HOMELESS MACABRE FLAMES

UNDER MACABRE SPARKS , BURNING IN SCARLET
HAVE SPRUNG CRIES OF THE DAMNED
ALL OF THOSE FOR EVER CONDAMNED
AS THE HELL DOGS BARKS
FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH WE SEE HELL OUT
BETWEEN DEBRIS AND ASHES

BODIES UNDER BURNING HEAT
AS THE FLAMES FLY FROM THE DEVIL S MOUTHS

EVEN CLOSE TO SHORE THE FURNACE IS CARNAGE
AND LEAVE BEINGS PRISONERS OF THE MOST FILTY BLAZE
AT THEIR DOORS ,IN THE HEART OF A DENCE SMOKE AND HEAT

LET THE SPARKS DANCE AND RAGE OF A THICK HAZE OF DEATH
FOR THE ISLANDERS AND FRIENDS
THESE HOMELESS MACABRE FLAMES ARE SHAMELESS
OF WHAT HELL IT SENDS .....................

ANARS ! Où est la rage

Trapped is a scream of a tormented soul which is seeking for a safe peer to cling on to …

Trapped

Verse 1
Well I wake up early, coffee in my hand
The sun creeps slow across this piece of land
Got more scars than I care to show
But they remind me where I’ve had to go

Chorus
I love my daughters, and they love me back
Even when I falter, even when I crack
Through the storms and trials, they keep me on track
I love my daughters, and they love me back

Verse 2
I’m not perfect, Lord knows I’ve tried
Carried some burdens, had to swallow my pride
But in their laughter I find my song
They’ve been the reason I keep rolling on

Chorus
I love my daughters, and they love me back
Even when I falter, even when I crack
Through the storms and trials, they keep me on track
I love my daughters, and they love me back

Bridge
Someday they’ll leave, spread their wings and fly
But I’ll be the shelter when the rain paints the sky
No matter the distance, no matter the years
They’ll always be the reason I fight through my fears

Final Chorus
I love my daughters, and they love me back
Even when I falter, even when I crack
Through the storms and trials, they keep me on track
I love my daughters, and they love me back

love my daughters, and they love me back
