Harbor Song 05:48
The ship sounds the siren without a pause It commands your heart to take off on a trip to somewhere far away In this town Overcoming love Surpassing time You are a wanderer A fragment of eternity is spotted light in red It transforms its shape Stay. Please stay as you are The sea of memory is sleeping silently and deeply You are a drifter A fragment of eternity Choose to live And let us hear what you wish Stay as you are You don't need to endure anymore Just take a chance again You don't need to disappear anymore Just one more time where you are Just one more time on this earth

She doesn't give anymore She plays with the words that were said She blames herself in his eyes Summer wedding day She saw a life once again A way to forget, to believe In need, in love, in him A summer wedding day The memories fade away She lost her will secretly Her chance to escape destiny She walks alone again A summer wedding day The memories fade away Her summer wedding day is gone
3.
Like a bee Restless Now you live alone I can't see you With tears Because you get way far Like the sand Shifting Lines that move away I won't leave you With fear Now you live again I don't want to buy a hidden trap Endless cycle A am left to see miracles Tell me where I go from here Hidden trap, endless cycle Tell me where I go now

Night falls down in her warm room She weaves a love song tonight again Her black iron ship Free as sound, wave after wave She glows like a winter moon Her black ship He's a lovely stranger To keep her dreaming of the sea Now he calls her To the water To the water Now he calls her away Clear in blue, forms of the sunlight She draws a shape of longing tone Her black ship In the pitch black shadows Her thirsty fingers play away Now he calls her To the water To the water

In the middle of the wasted road I saw you smiling, breathing and gazing as before At the end of the road in the waste land You lost your voice Heaven always beckoned You from afar In your room, sleepless You hear your heart beat, never giving up You'r waiting for something till the dawn At the corner of the sleepless window You count cars passing by Leaning on the darkness You keep searching for something In the blue dawn You're staring at the key to tomorrow It's in your hand Your tears shine like a diamond Only the city knows how this game will end

about

For my fourth record I went pretty much the opposite direction from my third. This one is BIG. It's definitely the most elaborate thing I've attempted in the studio to date. My working band had grown to a completely impractical sextet with the addition of Bill Campbell and Nate Radley on drums and guitar in addition to Matt, Pete, and Matt. And I was writing a lot of elaborate, through-composed music at this point. We recorded the basic tracks live at Bennett Studios in New Jersey (sadly no longer in existence) and then we all added more instruments, parts, and layers to our heart's content. It was really labor intensive and took forever to finish and was a joy to do. I had always wanted to do a record this way and I think we really got this one right, from the music to the performances to the sound to the artwork. This was also released from Tone Of A Pitch Records but unfortunately came out as the financial crisis was slamming the US and Portugal and much of the world and it kind of slipped through the cracks. So I'm very happy to be able to share it with you here again. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.
