lyrics
Close My Eyes - by David Elias
I close my eyes and criticize and sympathize
Rest upon my dying day
I breathe the words the ones you heard
That story blurred
Watch them as they drift away
And I close my eyes
To that cold and windy day
I close my eyes
I don't want to see again
I close my eyes
To the higher window
I don't know what time it closes
I paint that picture while they lecture pure conjecture
I deny that river why
I seek the desert for the love that lusts to wander
Through the womb of fire and sky
And I close my eyes
To that cold and windy day
I close my eyes
I don't want to see again
I close my eyes
To the higher window
I don't know what time it closes
I close my eyes and criticize and sympathize
Rest upon my dying day
I breathe the words the ones you heard
That story blurred
Watch them as they drift away
And I close my eyes
To that cold and windy day
I close my eyes
I don't want to see again
I close my eyes
To the higher window
I don't know what time it closes
I paint that picture while they lecture pure conjecture
I deny that river why
I seek the desert for the love that lusts to wander
Through the womb of fire and sky
And I close my eyes
To that cold and windy day
I close my eyes
I don't want to see again
I close my eyes
To the higher window
I don't know what time it closes

David Elias recommends:
-
Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.

Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
