From this dream I can feel there is something ahead
And I know there is light and it flows from the dead
But the soul is a wild and wavering bird
She goes where she likes and her whispering voice can be heard
It’s the end of your time, where you don’t have to know
That God is a great and beautiful ship that will carry you home
But your soul is a wild and wonderful thing
She goes where she likes and her whispering heart wants to sing
When you get to the place which is where you belong
And you know that it’s right because it’s where you came from
But your soul is still a wild and wandering wind
She goes where she likes and her whispering words come from within
With this heart I can feel I’ve been living all wrong
And the darkness was hard but it’s almost all gone
And my soul is a wild, wide ocean of peace
It goes where it likes and it’s whispering tide is released
I don't remember how I found out about this band, but this was their first album I listened to (while I was living alone far away from my birth country). Its concept, artwork, music, lyrics, story.. fit magically perfectly into a synesthetic mood. It makes me think about a bright version of the videogame Braid. I would listen almost every night during my first month away from home and feel cuddled and loved to the point of bringing tears to my eyes. I can't describe how much I love this album Ale MG
so this is one of the weaker orr-albums. i have all the others so there was no way to let this one slide. listen to the others ones. listen to the magic. viccaspak
