[A track for Lila for Scree #3] near silent and calm, birds singing in trees, periphery traffic, you're drifting to sleep, i straighten some books, upright a chair, it reminds of the scene, the day your grandfather died, i'll rock you to sleep on the advancing tide, retreat from the shore, lay down by your side, so far from the land, where your ancestors bled, diluted by miles, we hide from regrets, so you can't hear them call, soft whispers to roars, they shake off the breakers and burst down the door, i'll rock you to sleep on the advancing tide, retreat from the shore, lay down by your side...

Whispers

Multi-part sketch of first track from the next CD. Vocals are distorted and echoey on purpose. Guitar duffs are deliberate, honest and they're staying, so there!
