lyrics
So there's a man and a woman
and they're on a train
they're travelling across an entire country
just two bags between them
looking for something
They're looking for a reason why everything they loved started to fade away
They know each other so well now, they don't ever really need to talk
They just look out of the train windows
look at the countryside rolling past them
look at the frozen winter fields.
They don't really know what they're looking for
but they'll know it when they see it.
They don't talk much.
They hold hands
and look out the window.
They've been on the train for a long time now
The farmers are burning the chaff out in the fields
There's smoke in the air
and the sun's so low on the horizon, it looks like it's setting fire to the
earth.
And they still haven't found anything.
And the train's still rolling.
So they hold hands
and they wait.
and they're on a train
they're travelling across an entire country
just two bags between them
looking for something
They're looking for a reason why everything they loved started to fade away
They know each other so well now, they don't ever really need to talk
They just look out of the train windows
look at the countryside rolling past them
look at the frozen winter fields.
They don't really know what they're looking for
but they'll know it when they see it.
They don't talk much.
They hold hands
and look out the window.
They've been on the train for a long time now
The farmers are burning the chaff out in the fields
There's smoke in the air
and the sun's so low on the horizon, it looks like it's setting fire to the
earth.
And they still haven't found anything.
And the train's still rolling.
So they hold hands
and they wait.

The Quiet Lamb
by Her Name is CallaWe've played on a couple of Her Name Is Calla's records now, and The Quiet Lamb is their best work so far.

Some of Nick's (from The Monroe Transfer) ambient guitar stuff; woolly...

Slept And Did Not Sleep
by NinetailsThis is pretty damned good; a completely different take on that long, atmospheric feel to ours, but still rammed full of ideas and good stuff.

For whatever reason I seem always to like tracks which bear "flood" in their title. Hauntingly beautiful melancholy!

I remember staying jaw-dropping for a minute or two after listening to "Meet Us Where The Night Ends" in the first place... OMG..Reminds me of the best Sigur Ros, but way better. Unbelievable MONO

Graces & Muses
by Victoria WijeratneThese four works from composer Victoria Wijeratne have the broad sweep of post-rock and the gentle ache of Romantic music.
