Long intro, the chord progression though is real nice !  Love the melody

Magnificent-just kept replaying it 👋🔥👋

Lyrics:

Peaceful mind, calm waves
Content serenity
Seclusion suits me, no storm takes me by surprise

It’s just a small thrill when the lights go dim
But a presence lights the room
I’ll just bite my tongue, but I’ll get my fill
When a smile lights up the room (2x)

All trouble fades away when a brightness fills the room
My sorrow fades away when a light brightens the room
No grimness, spite or fear can take my lightness from the room
He smiles and teases, says: can’t take my lightness from the room (repeat ad nauseam)

Presence

**The Sun Paints Red** by Laxá & Heima Kvartett is a sweeping post-rock journey that captures the stark beauty of the Icelandic landscape. Jussi Siglarson's guitar lines shimmer like distant northern lights, weaving through a dense soundscape where Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses like an underground river and Matthias Helguson's drums crash like waves on a stormy shore.

The strings, led by Lisbeth Heima and her ensemble—Sif Árnadóttir, Natasha Guðmundsdóttir, and Ída Sigurðardóttir—move between fragile whispers and powerful, cinematic peaks. Mike Taylor's keyboards add depth, filling the space between with layers that feel both expansive and grounded. The track is a journey through light and shadow, where each instrument paints a vivid scene in deep reds and golds, reflecting the raw, untamed spirit of Iceland.

"A Gentleman's Gambit" By Edge Of The Void

Oh in the evening
With the sunset low
Pistol by his side, no sense of fear

Became an outlaw
But a true gentleman
In a dance with the law, the gambit clear

Went by Butch Cassidy
Wasn’t ever out to kill
But with all that dynamite, he lit the sky

And with them stories
Traveling town to town
And they knew without a doubt, this bunch was wild

For every fallen man on this dusty trail
Who would be the better man?
Take only what you need but spare them souls
Then run away

In this tale of the west
Was a shadow in the dusk
He went out like the blazin sun

He’d  where his honor 
Like the boots on his feet
Gotta love this life out on the run

For every fallen man on this dusty trail
Who would be the better man?
Take  only what you need but spare them souls
Then run away

So let the wind blow at our backs
Let them horses run till the sky is black
And we’ll prowl in the dead of night …Alone

Let’s raise them guns up to the sky
We’re always up for another fight 
If we must, Till the morning light….  we go

On the horizon
Where the shadow’s cross
Rides a man with a steady hand and lust for gold

In the mountains of the land
Swimming under darker skies
He’d always played but never fold

For every fallen man on this dusty trail
Who would be the better man?
Take only what you need but spare them souls
Then run away

Working The Edges

Early December

It would have been a real marathon to get lyrics for the entirety of the original instrumental, CXLVII for which the link is below:

https://soundcloud.com/doug-stoothoff/i-understood-you-to-have-no-further-use-for-me

 ....so I came up with this ...rather different compromise.

Whimsy #2's (Track XIV) instrumental gives the intro some help between :09 and :14...

Lyrics follow below:

I understood you to have no further use for me
But a day'll soon come when I cease to be

And in the vastness, the echolalia of my mind
Conjures your image, yet I'm resigned

Something tells me chimeric love
Would have fit us like a mismatched glove

Leaving me to suck hind tit
A terminal case of staircase wit
Let's put the shallow shit by the wayside shall we
This love, an ephemeral reverie
A quixotic panoply  

I understood you to have no further use for me
An evanescent spree, 
A serpentine bond, so lacunae

In life's fervid, threnody
To wander, an ephemeral ghost, in this quantum sea
Where once was you, now just me

And in the vastness, the melancholia of my soul
Reminds me of what's now beyond my control

Fate whispers to me, an oneiric love
Would have been a paradox, not a glove
