A Drip in Time

Ave Maria

Rare behind the scenes demo from The Key's 21st CENTURY MACHINES.

A DRIP IN TIME

21ST CENTURY MACHINES

No Man's Tale is essentially what it names suggests: A tale of time's before, now nowhere and with no man. The mythical Erewhon. Recorded with all analog sound equipment, on guitars all dating pre-1963, the real sound of live music is palpable on this track. There is a yearning for a simpler time, and the feeling of how nostalgic memories eventually become like dreams through the river of time; so real, yet so intangible.

A video for the single has been recorded using vintage film cameras from the 1960's and 1970's, entirely in 16mm and super 8 film reels. Double exposure effects have been utilized to enhance the quality of the dreamlike state of distant memories, and the scenery is all shot on location in the badlands of California.

We hope you can enjoy No Man's Tale!

No Man's Tale

Rare Demo of Yonder Fields, a song about a very specific memory from a very specific time. Remote in the corridors of an ardent mind, yearning to be in yonder field...

LYRICS

There I sat around, I said little miner boys
Whats ya gonna do for me?
I've just got no choice
I don´t really want to be 
What I'm supposed to get,
Right now, all around

All the things that I know
I'm down, all around

And I see my lord
And I know it ain't no voice that I see
And I see my lord
And I'm gonna be where I'm supposed to...

I don't wanna know if I can get down 
On the clear little things

There I see, ya I know
I go, won't you say?
I run all again
and I'm playing, facing, telling her she´s hating...

Wondering what I'm supposed to do 
if I could be here with you
oh its true
Now I'm wondering where to go 
What I do

And I know its true
And I know its true
There I see you with me

Know that I'll be
I see that it a-coming
I run don't you know?
I see don't you go?
Back again, in my run

I don't know what it seem
I don't want what you be 

kinda clear ain't it?
That you see
Back again

I could go where you see

That I don't want to be around no more
She cried to me my simple sons that I ain't got no choice
I don't want to hear you and I don't wanna be you
I don't wanna know if I could ever get her down, once again
Don't you know? 
Don't you see?

That I be once again 
Where I'll go, when I see
When I know, I don't see

What I see I could be
It all ends,
My friends

I would just oh be
I would just oh see
I would just oh see
