Crushing Expectations by Bobby Bonzig

Like a suitcase full of dynamite 
You will explode when the time is right.
Like an earthquake at a golf course
No one can really tell which ball is yours.

{Chorus}

You can’t carry the load of these
Crushing Expectations
Forever withering under these
Crushing Expectations.

Soon the snake comes bearing the forbidden fruit
Shiny scales, venom dripping from a poison tooth
Now it’s obvious that Eden is gone. 
This battles over but the war rages on and on.

{Chorus}

{Instrumental bridge}

{Chorus}

King Of The 101

SN1|Ep18 - Rob Bailey on The Arwen Lewis Show

From the EP Fear of Stranglers, Metal Bitch Recordings, 2010

Stranglers

“souls take their spirit from the waters” *
The Arctic Gulls daily dining at the fish factory. Pitch-shift it and all manner of ancient sea monsters emerge bewitched by the tangled twang of the Celtic harp. 

From the album Heraclitus in Iceland: available as digital download & limited edition CDR - from https://gailpriest.bandcamp.com/album/heraclitus-in-iceland

Heraclitus in Iceland

Scraps for Sirens and Harpies

“the hidden harmony is better than the obvious” 
The howling Arctic winds make eerie stringed instruments of the flagpoles (one for each front yard). In the wind a marching army of voices. What is the voice if not just wind after all.

From the album Heraclitus in Iceland: available from https://gailpriest.bandcamp.com/album/heraclitus-in-iceland
