Skyward Lights is a reflection on our own insignificance, one we all feel at some point or other in our lifes.

Lyrics:
SKYWARD LIGHTS

Somewhere in the northern cold
A night-train travels on its own
Over silence, over silence

I can see the light of the train
From the window of an aeroplane
The sight brings sadness into me
As I can feel the people are as lonely as me

Sometimes my eyes meet the sight
Of houses flickering in the night
Over silence, over silence

Lyrics

You’re standing in front of the fire, but to walk through is too much pain.

Bold hands burn so you refrain.

You were a walking mountain, shaking snow as you’d go,

But you lose your way when the cold winds blow.

Oh, it feels like home.

Home. Giving up, going it alone.

You see the light in the tunnel, a way to escape the jail, but the iron bars of fear prevail.

You found your feet were suited to holding you in place. Don’t make stillness your disgrace.

Oh, I know it feels like home.

Home. Giving up, going it alone.

There’s bad and there’s worse. You’re forgetting which came first.

What do you dream of when the walls of awake are at bay? Do you ever break away?

Oh, I know it feels like home.

Home. Giving up, going it alone.

Drowning

Walking Mountain

Lyrics
A silent commotion, 
The fears they storm my head,
Like a carousel revolving, weaving in and pouring out,
A flood of colour,
I can hear the ocean roar, and the waves just keep on rolling, each on bigger than before,
It's too soon so I'll wait....

This high and swollen tide, will swallow everything that I know, 
And it's happening way too soon for me,
My tired eyes fall on you, in the sober light of day, then I realise, that it'll all come back on me,
And I've let you down but it's alright, and I'll break this reverie's hold, when I arrive, I'll call your name.

Too Soon

LYRICS
As I reach, for your hand
Through the heat of this place
I feel the pain, twisting our fate
And I, And I, Hear them call
Calling our names again
And I, And I, feel us falling
Harder than I can explain
If they can't get to us then Here We Stay
Here We Stay
Here We Stay

It kills me inside, thinking it could end this way
And I feel it rising, every second that goes away

And I, And I, hear them calling
Calling our names again
And I, And I, feel us falling
Harder than we can explain

If they can't get to us then Here We Stay
Here We Stay x 5

I have seen, oh where we could be 
Darling if we, could free ourselves
I have seen, oh where we could be
Darling if we, could be ourselves

And I, And I, feel us falling
Harder than we can explain
If they can't get to us then Here We Stay

Here We Stay

~ Lyrics

From these cliffs we can see far
There are ships set sail for places yet explored
There are footprintless places in our view
I am standing here alone next to you

And even as the sun goes down 
And you put away your crown
And there’s nothing left to hide
I’m the one on the outside

There’s a peril if we step 
Too far forward, too far back
Is freedom falling or standing on firm ground?
I never know when you’re around

And even as the sun goes down 
And you put away your crown
And there’s nothing left to hide
I’m the one on the outside

We haven’t been a mile from home
But we both know why you’ve flown
Like the birds that circle here
Until they sense the end is near

And even as the sun goes down
And you put away your crown

Talena Bricker - From These Cliffs

I first heard this song while browsing YouTube for The Tallest Man On Earth videos (I was just discovering him) - I happened upon his KEXP performance of this beautiful, magical song and I knew instantly I wanted to cover it. I spent hours attempting to decipher his fingerpicking code but eventually came to accept my 50% interpretation. I love everything about this song - the lyrics, the chords, the melody...they are striking and romantic and devastating. 

Thanks go to these exceptional humans for helping to make this happen:
Steve Drizos (The Panther): Co-Producer, Engineer, Mixing, Percussion, Viola effects magic help
Jenny Conlee-Drizos: Piano
Bryan Daste: Pedal Steel, reverse Glockenspiel, Backing Vocals
Jon Neufeld: Mastering
I played Acoustic/Electric guitars, Mellotron, Violin/Viola effects and harmonics and sang Lead/Backing Vocals.

Thank you, Kristian Matsson, for putting this piece of art into the world.
