    A modern folk album inspired by graveyards, sea shanties and spaghetti western ride outs. A shadowy voice tells bittersweet stories of love and death to a soundtrack, composed with both traditional instruments and subtle electronics, somewhere between Appalachian folk-rock and a Morricone musical.

about

Saying your last goodbye to a loved one.

lyrics

GO TO SLEEP GO TO SLEEP. TAKE THE STRAIN FROM YOUR FEET. THE TIME HAS COME. LET THIS WORLD CARRY ON. NO ONE’S GOING TO SAVE YOU FROM THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT. YOU CAN REST IN PEACE YOU WERE A LIGHT WHEN YOU WERE ALIVE. I SEE A PLACE OR SHOULD I SAY THAT PLACE SEES ME. TODAY I WALK AN EMPTY HEART LIKE DUST IN ME. OH MEMORY I CLING TO YOU WITH ALL MY SOUL. A PAIN TO FILL THIS EMPTY HOLE. DEEP INSIDE I KNOW THAT I WAS BLEST TO HAVE HAD YOU. BUT KNOWING THIS IT DOES NOT MAKE IT EASIER TO GO THROUGH. I LOVE YOU. AND WHEN MY TIME DOES BEFALL ME AND DREAMS NO LONGER CALL ME. WHEN MY THOUGHTS ARE BUT A FEW I’LL STILL REMEMBER YOU. GO TO SLEEP. LET YOUR HEART TAKE ONE MORE BEAT. THE TIME HAS COME. LET THIS WORLD CARRY ON. NO ONE’S GOING TO SAVE YOU FROM THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT. YOU CAN REST IN PEACE YOU WERE A LIGHT WHEN YOU WERE ALIVE.
