Time Runs Out For Narcissus

I’ve tasted the fruits of my labour. I’ve never seen famine or draught. Hot shame became my bedfellow too long ago to recall now.
It’s a selfish thing to wish for comfort, when comfort is all that you know. Like the world owes you some all consuming love, when you give nothing to no one. 
She said boy don’t you wait to make amends, because time may not be your master but it waits for no man. 
Time runs out.
So I gathered my strength and I cut those cords and I stepped out into the world. But I never found no one could love me as much as I love myself. 
 She said boy don’t you wait to make amends, because time may not be your master but it waits for no man. 
Time runs out.

Thomas & The Empty Orchestra is the music of Thomas Matthew Bower. Sheffield born he moved to the twin city of Bochum, Germany in late 2020.

Taking influence from the likes of Paul Simon, Nick Drake, Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, The Good Life, Fleet Foxes and the broader American emo scene he crafts folk songs rich with poetic imagery; tales of frailty, love, the grim English North and the transience of being. 

He is working on new music currently, with a view to releasing and touring in 2021 (global pandemic permitting).
