Janis Geiger I just totally love this record - for example because of the sensitive way the instruments are arranged, or the colors it provides. I have to be ready, in the mood for it, but it's especially beautiful for the late evening. It's a slow, yet powerful record. The lyrics are very well too... This was the first album I ever downloaded from Bandcamp... Way to go! Favorite track: Le Bateau De Rêves.

The stairs The stairs in my hair Long red rays A constant face hidden by the earth and churning foam churning foam This night we admired another wave Are you listening? Can you remember everything I tell you? We are the waves Some of the rhythms shaped to love you We are honeycomb and clay Graces of the wind and toil So much strength We are We are We are the slowness of people caught in time This This a place Your mouth is dropping endlessly As if I were spoken with a fragrance of all the world In a purity that resurrected the seaweed's delirium, hi-tide, the delicate thorn and polished fish They made us in this instant Condemned us to forever That vague pact we cannot remember We cannot remember We cannot remember But summertime will roll the lovers splitting the tree Just as pure-line ultramarine will be born in the water You taking branches from the sea Double cup apocalyptic-ally Their roots are clusters of things impossible to see Unknowable Unspeakable Lost in the memories of oblivion Fare thee well There is no me now No There is no you Nor us O come away O come away O come away...

The one's I love are very powerful Whispering out about the madness Letting go of strangeness I let the slow on Slow on slow on slow on Slip off slip off slip off the fastness yeah sister Modern shadows so beautiful We are not your children anymore Appearing before your committees Letting go of falseness We turn the smile on smile on smile on smile on Slip off slip off slip off the fastness yeah sister Hey now come on come on Hey now turn on turn on Hey now come on come on Shoot me into infinity shoot me into infinity shoot me into infinity shoot me into infinity shoot me into infinity shoot me into infinity shoot me into infinity

She appealed to her voices While singing in her dreams The willows are waking Weary ones always sleep Out comes the nightshade Reverse the day down Follow yonder horseman It's his game now Watching over shadows Dissolving to form light Dream fortune Morpheus slowing The lawns are long tonight Step into the water Out comes the ground From where you are standing You're going down, down, down Your innocence is drowning Better run, run, run, run, run Follow yonder horseman You gotta get in to get out Watching over shadows Dissolving to form light Dream fortune Morpheus slowing The lawns are long tonight...

Former Tides 05:00
The famous ones have taken you away By deed alone, it does not make them great Their shiny smiles betray their hidden face Remember little lands and find your way Long ago when we were very still We opened magic kingdoms that were real Endless rivers and the shape of things I remember when the sun was born In the life you've chose you're alone Forget the lie and find your way back home Remember all that glitters is not gold Remember all that glitters is not gold Turn your back Remember Turn your back Remember O turn your back Remember...

Part One: All My Pretty Trash Horse bit in Teeth clenched The rake of nerves makes lines down my spine Subtle sickness I will break you, break you, break you Broken mirror Tireless snail Nothing harms me like my head Nothing comforts but my death And you who are Saturnine Will know the score melodiously All movements gather six stages The seventh brings return The seventh brings return the seventh brings return Part Two: The Pussyflower Girl's Advice You have believed too much in your mind's perceptions and become imprisoned by these illusions that seem real, but in fact all things are constantly changing, and evolving, and devolving, and therefore temporary. Great beauty and endless love are all around you and it is your own ability to connect and reflect with all of eternity that makes these gifts apparent. The Transformer wore a coat of mirrors when yo first met, to remind you that everything you saw in him was a reflection of yourself. We are all one. We are all love. Let us pluck your memory circuit, so you may see things as they truly are. In absolute love, we will tear your dragons down. Part Three: Transcending the Ghost We are flowing, we are still. We are becoming, we are unbecoming. We are stars, we are blackness. We are nothing, we are everything. We are all that ever was and will ever be. We are repeating, we are changing. We are hating, we are loving. We are living, we are dying. We are creating, we are destroying. We are the truth, we are the lie. We are descending, ascending, transcending. Transcendent, transcendent, transcendent. We are on and on and on and on and on...

All these selves have vanished We are just a dream And we see her rising the daughter of the flood And so we meet again You're a killer, I'm a killer too The secret soul of things the symbol is a circle We have now gone nowhere We change by breathing And the truth is rising in the palace of the tide And so we meet again I'm a a killer, You're a killer too The secret soul of things the symbol is a circle
