about

Features the Beautiful and talented Amanda Lehmann. The fretless bass and piano in the opening set the mood for this song about the afterlife, and the Les Paul gives it some crunch. Amanda delivers some of her trademark harmonizing in twelve parts here and I have never been more grateful! – Tenk

lyrics

the chaos that it brings
wanting so the precious still
I hid my face
turned my back again

needles, fronds and trash
I’m sheltered from the gnash
In custody
entrusted with the flame

I’m hidden from the wind
the sullen sun obscured
I’ll try again
when I find a reason to stir

as far as I can see
the wind and crows agree
today there is
no solitude
for me

I hide behind the wind
reside inside the wind
hidden from
forbidden from
and deriven from

I’ll keep you company
a whisper from the trees
balance
frivolity with reality

wind, the wind
has set my sails again
like a sailor locked in place
in circles and disgraced

this page has taken toll
has made our spirits whole
the wind and I submit
to a carrot and a stick

I’m finding comfort in
the things of changing norm
a solitude
borne on the wake from a dream

the doubts that lied within
effetely trespass away
banished
to other where deceive

wind, the wind
you set my sails again
was a sailor locked in place
in circles and disgraced

this page has taken toll
has made our spirits whole
the wind and I submit
to a carrot and a stick

about

Temple of Switches California

"The two mainstays throughout are sections with an often subtle but distinct jazz flavoring applied to them, sometimes from bass and drums, on other occasions by way of the keyboards, and here and there we are treated to almost purebred jazz-oriented music too. The other red thread throughout, albeit perhaps on a slightly lesser note, are quirky, subtly atonal instrument details" Progmessor 5/2021 ... more
