lyrics

The first time you saw it, it moved you
It broke and crashed and pulled at your soul
You saw life anew in its reflection, in its strength
All was lost save for its depth…its power to save you
from all you might become
And you would never be the same

The first time you saw her, she moved you
She broke and crashed and pulled at your soul
You saw life anew in her reflection, in her strength
All was lost save for her depth…her power to save you
from all you might become
And you would never be the same

The first time you saw them, they moved you
They broke and crashed and pulled at your soul
You saw life anew in their reflection, in their strength
All was lost save for their depth…their power to save you
from all you might become
And you would never be the same

The last time you saw it, it moved you
It broke and crashed and pulled at your soul
You saw life faded in its reflection, in its strength
All was lost despite its depth…its power to save you
from all you became
And you were always the same. Numbingly, forcefully, tragically…the same.

In the beginnings and the endings we find meaning;
It is that vast expanse of middle where we fail.

For Andrew and Grace. Andrew, you did the middle so well that you never felt the need to talk about it. You were satisfied.

about

Karl Verkade Los Angeles, California

Ambient guitar and vocal soundscapes, dystopian and otherwise. More love than noise. And you are pretty much my favorite person for being here right now.

Can't recall how I found this release but I'm glad I did. Take whatever mood you're in and by the time you finish listening to this if you aren't left in a reflective, calm and ultimately grateful state about life - seek medical help. Beautiful. DJ Osric
