The Sword of The Spirit

Bahama.

As the wind blows through the trees.
As the silence starts to break.
As the dawn is facing forward.
Passing time, prepared to wait.
While a crow is looking over.
As you're making your mistakes.
You hide your face.
Hide your face.

If tomorrow wasn't certain.
Would you still behave this way?
As there is no way of knowing.
Could you live on in disgrace?
As the current representative of the dead who lost their way.
You hide your face.
Better hide your face.

Can the sunshine ever touch upon.
The darkness at the heart.
Will the ancestors forgive you for your
mistakes at the start.
As the crows begin to circle.
All their eyes fixed in one place.
Better hide your face.
Hide your face.

Bahama.

When you're running down the white lines.
When you can not see the stars.
When you can not stop them watching.
When you can not fall apart.
Oh, should there be a knocking.
On the window in the morn.
You have been warned.
Better get things done.

Bahama.

And should you go a-walking in the trees.
Be careful not to show them any fear.
And it might be a crow at your window.
The Dead have nothing to teach us, so let it go.
Just let it go.

📝 Description
"Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a chamber composition for eight instruments, deeply rooted in the expressive tradition of the Russian musical school, profoundly inspired by the legacies of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Georgy Sviridov. The piece seeks to capture the ephemeral beauty of memory, weaving an atmosphere of tender melancholy and quiet contemplation, as if illuminated by the delicate glow of a winter landscape.

At its heart lies the theme of nostalgia — a longing for moments lost, expressed through a lyrical dialogue between the strings (first and second violins, viola, cello, and double bass) and the poignant timbre of the winds (flute, oboe, and clarinet). The strings evoke heartfelt emotions, whispering tales of cherished recollections, while the winds add a breath of airy lightness and a subtle shimmer of hope. The double bass provides a resonant foundation, grounding the composition in the timeless embrace of the natural world.

This work transcends a specific narrative, instead inviting listeners on an emotional journey — a meditation on the fleeting nature of time, the enduring power of the human spirit, and the universal search for harmony. "Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a sonic painting, a tapestry of sound designed to stir the soul and awaken the imagination. It’s a testament to the beauty found within stillness, and a celebration of the delicate balance between joy and sorrow.

The Ink Never Dried

I was thinking of the phrase "Isn't it pretty to think so?" the famous last line from Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Sun Also Rises". It's a bittersweet expression of longing and acceptance, often used to acknowledge a beautiful but ultimately unattainable idea or hope. "Pretty" didn't really work for the song but that was the sentiment behind the lyrics.

Lyrics (Because Robert asked for them!):

[Verse 1]
We built a life in our heads
In places we’d never find
Hung pictures in empty rooms
Like we had all the time

You laughed and lit a cigarette
Said dreams are just what they are
But I kept drawing maps to places
we’d never get in the car

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Don’t look back, it’s dangerous”
But that’s where I live the most
With a glass in my hand
And a ghost on the coast

[Chorus]
Isn’t it nice to think so?
That love could be enough
That timing wasn’t cruel
And we weren’t just making it up

Isn’t it something to hold to
When the truth feels too low
To believe in what never was
Isn’t it nice to think so?

[Verse 2]
You read me lines from a book 
About some other broken pair
And said, “At least we tried”
Like trying ever got us anywhere

We kissed like we were strangers
And left like we were thieves
Took nothing but the silence
And the ache that never leaves

[Pre-Chorus]
The stars were out but fading fast
Like promises on your breath
And I knew right then
We were loving to forget

[Chorus]
Isn’t it nice to think so?
That we could rewrite the end
That you’d call me one last time
Just to say, “Let’s pretend”

Isn’t it easier dreaming
Than facing what we know
That some hearts were made to break
Isn’t it nice to think so?

[Bridge]
All the could’ve-beens
And almosts and maybes
They sit like unopened letters
From younger, braver versions of me

[Final Chorus]
Isn’t it nice to think so?
That we’d meet in another life
Where we never said goodbye
And nothing ever felt like a knife

Isn’t it lovely and hollow
To wish it was all for show
But I loved you more than I told you—
Isn’t it nice to think so?

[Outro]
Yeah, I loved you more than I told you
Isn’t it nice to think so?

Nice To Think So

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
