Always a staple in the VOI-D set, this has words, but I elected to release this as an instrumental version.
There are lyrics, though they are complete and utter nonsense.
But I am publishing them below, so if you want to make up a tune and sing along, fill your boots!
lyrics
Picking up the pieces of this broken down wall
Staring through the ceiling at the stars below
The roof is leaking where the rain gets in
So open up the door and let the Man come in
Your washing's on the line, I remember you're here
Your looking through raindrop windows
The nearest train I know of is a mile above
Any other God would let you know that you're
Butterflies in boxes keep you occupied
like elephants tied to your hands
deafened by the sound of voices in your head
listening at windows and looking through doors
They just shout and me and say "what are you looking for"
I say "a smiling man about this high
he just ran off down the hill looking mesmerised"
...and they just look at me and see me crucified
anodised
mesmerised
sanitised
victimised
traumatised by the look in your eyes
justified
galvanised
authorised
mortified
crucified
The 'In- the near-future-we’re-all-fucked' theme.
Here you'll find a (probably) anxious and depressed or even furious ally with whom to yell at the seemingly mindless actions of many of you humans. Phil Lively
Mr. Godfrey can throw some beautiful chords together.
His Black Bag series of albums are wonderful.
This album could be a gateway to a whole new chapter in musical discovery for you. Phil Lively
You will seldom hear Chapman Stick played as effectively as this.
A heavy rock/jazz vibe and a unique lineup of astonishing musicians, you should get everything Geph does and pray they do more. Phil Lively
Talented songwriter firing on all cylinders. Beautifully constructed album. Exciting narrative songs. Gives me that same melancholy feeling that Alice in Chains and Opeth manage but no one seems to be able to convey. Liam Smith
Knotty post-rock from Corde that flirts with ambient and electronic music, layering strings atop glitchy electronics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2024
