Altered States
09:59
|

|
I feel the need for something new,
To touch the grass and morning dew.
To change my soul and my body too,
An altered state from which I knew.
Take me to a higher plane,
Where life won’t be the same. My destiny.
I’ve had time enough for love,
But that won’t be enough, for eternity.
Oh, to reach an altered state, the things I could create,
If time would let me.
I want to rise above it all,
waiting for the final call, to eternity.
Another world has opened up for me,
I’m changing now to what I need to be.
I feel the need for something new.
To touch the grass and morning dew.
Take me to a higher plane,
Where life won’t be the same. My destiny.
I’ve had time enough for love,
But that won’t be enough, for eternity. Oh, to reach an altered state, the things I could create, If time would let me. I want to rise above it all, waiting for the final call, to eternity.

Wolf Moon

|
I watch the sun go down from high on hallowed ground.
A distant angel cries. A soul too young to die. I wait.
Deep in the heart of a soul who had nothing to loose,
Breathing, seething, alive.
I search through the night, I feel this inglorious fright.
It keeps my spirit alive.
The moon hanging high like a jewel in the sky.
I can feel that hunger tonight.
And I see the moon in your eyes as I go darkly,
Through the solitary night.
Morning has broken. The light chases darkness away.
There’s no one who knows what I am.
There is no one who knows what I am.
I watch the sun go down. I wait. I wait.
And I see the moon in your eyes, As I go darkly,
Through the solitary night.
I can feel that hunger tonight.
There’s no one who knows what I am.
It keeps my spirit alive.
There is no one who knows what I am.

Borrowed Time
08:51
|

|
To live a life on borrowed time,
The glow of youth left far behind.
To seek the truth on bended knee,
You have to look before you see.
I listen for the Siren’s song, To lead me where my heart belongs.
This forking path from which I’ve come,
A knowing voice that can’t be wrong.
Is there a plan in place to see us through this time and space?
I watch and wait for subtle signs that life is more than borrowed time.
If I waited till the end of time, Would it matter to this heart of mine?
I need to know if the time is right, For me to see your guiding light.
An angel came to me one day to help me see a better way.
I told her that I’d seen the signs and I’d paid back my borrowed time. Yes I’d paid back my borrowed time.

Old Secrets
05:57
|

|
Sleep, sleep your life away,
I want to know what your dreams have to say.
Give, give your soul to me, Destiny knows what will be will be.
Out of the darkness where old secrets lie,
Bright streaks of morning appear in the sky,
No one can answer the sins of the past.
Time waits for no one. The dream didn’t last.
Ghosts in the shadows remind you of me.
Karma can tell you what you really need.
Old souls awaken when night starts to fall,
They know Nirvana is starting to call.
Out of the darkness where old secrets lie,
Bright streaks of morning appear in the sky.
No one can answer the sins of the past.
Time waits for no one. The dream didn’t last.
I see the tears you have cried,
Heaven will know if time’s on your side.

A Dream Within A Dream
04:59
|

|
I wish I was the autumn breeze and part of me still, the raging sea.
I could become a stately tree and have the forest belong to me.
If all we see or can be seen is but a dream within a dream,
I want to be the gentle breeze, the raging sea, the tallest tree.
Though life has past me by, the days are lost, I do not cry.
Like golden grains of sand as they slip through my open hand.
I stand amid the roar of a surf tormented shore, and I dream.
I dream myself to another place, another face, another time.
For this world is mine. The world is mine.
If all we see or can be seen is but a dream within a dream,
I want to be the gentle breeze, the raging sea, the tallest tree.
If all we see or can be seen is but a dream within a dream,
I want to be the gentle breeze, the raging sea, the tallest tree.
I stand amid the ocean roar upon a wind swept tormented shore.
And all I see or can be seen is but a dream within a dream.

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun
supported by 32 fans who also own “Altered States”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.

Un album que j'adore... du bon rock progressif comme j'aime, des passages très doux et d'autres heavy :-)

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-)

I Tried To Fight It But I Was Inside It
by Nervous Curtains
Dark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk.

The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place
by Explosions in the Sky
Every day until a Covid vaccine is found, Temporary Residence makes one of its records Name Your Price. Today’s is a classic from EitS.

Michelle Blades - Visitor
by Michelle Blades
Wrenching indiepop heavy on synths and stormy melodies make for an LP that feels profound in its vision.

The Last Great Adventurer
by GALAHAD
supported by 28 fans who also own “Altered States”
I am not new to Galahad but have lost touch with them after Beyond The Realms of Euphoria album,which still is my favorite release. But this release is just as good if not better. Galahad is one of the top prog acts around. A pleasure to add this to my musical collection.
