I knew I had to write about his sudden death, but I didn't quite know where to start. It didn't feel right to do it from my perspective. This album isn't about me, so I went the other way and tried to give the man himself a voice. After all, he had died while he was alone in the house, shortly after having been visited by his good friend Douglas. So in a sense, he slipped away quietly.
lyrics
This is the day
The world went away
Slipped and fade
Sated and content
No longer in defence
A heartbeat came and went
And I slipped away
I was swinging
Ears ringing
In music still immersed
Future Feast
Back on my feet
But on cool, smooth tiles
I slipped away
Prog, Goth, Rock, something music-y. Definitely dark. Dark is good. If you like dark music with the odd odd time signatures thrown in with the melancholy, this is your place to be.
