A blur of lights.
Glass on glass.
A distant flicker through a prism of panes.
A single beam in a blinding sea of colour.
Pale and broken.
Slower now we’ve started moving.
Overload.
The sound of glass.
Piece by piece.
A distant shatter breaks through layers of lines.
A single shard like a splinter in the silence.
Cold and empty.
Slower now we’ve started moving.
Overload.
Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.
Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.
Take a breath.
Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.
Here it comes again.
Overload.
The moment’s gone.
Frame by frame.
A distant second in the passing of time.
A single strike and the hands of time are falling.
Lost and fleeting.
Slower now we’ve started moving.
Overload.

Shapes In The Dark
05:06
|

When the curtains close,
And the daylight fades.
When the ceiling turns into the sky.
When the darkness falls
And the evening shade
Set the stage right in front of my eyes.
The cast becoming clear
The shadows drawing near
The room moves silently round.
Shapes in the dark
Which save me from sleep
Here with me.
Night time wakes
The shadows running free
Here while he sleeps
The silhouettes and me
Night time stirs
The dark is all around
Here where shadows creep
Where shadows make no sound
Alone in the dark
I will be.
When I watch them fade
Through the gap in my hands.
When they twist and they turn in the air.
When they draw me in
On another night time tale
Turn my head and I know they’re still there.
Before my heavy eyes
I see through their disguise.
I’m wrapped in the dark in my bed.
Silent and still
They lead me to fall
In to sleep.
Night time wakes
The shadows running free
Here while he sleeps
The silhouettes and me
Night time stirs
The dark is all around
Here where shadows creep
Where shadows make no sound
Alone in the dark
I will be.

In these walls we are mythical
Here within these walls
In these streets we've always known
We are gods, we are drunks
In these streets we've always known
We are saints, we are punks
Go your way
Blinking in the light

Hawk To The Hunting Gone

Kerry is the most brilliant composer and singer. You Are Wolf is her alt-folk project and it is brilliant. She weaves her magic around songs old and new.

I play this tape weekly. Subtle twists and turns. Excellent orchestration and gorgeous ebb and flow. I hear something new on every listen.

The new EP from Anastasia Coope flutters and floats like a distant mirage, its ghostly songs eerie and hypnotic.
