Water

Ooh, everyone is critical
Of the body that’s lost on the street
Ooh, anything so pitiful
Would have given her reason to leave
And no one else made you call
I am the cause of my downfall
The poison needs me to crave
The poison makes my grave
Ooh, everyone is cynical
When a body gets washed out to sea
Ooh, anyone so beautiful
Could’ve easily left me to be
She stood by
At my side
Every night
Set me right
She could fly
Angel eyes
But she stood by
Helped me breathe
Save me
I know you’ve got no good reason
But please don’t go
Lately
I’ve lost all count of the days
And I need your glow
Save me!
Carry me out of the water
Carry me out from my grave
Carry me on to the home that I’ve never known
And give me a reason to stay

How Did It Get So Good?
07:14
|
|||
|
In the morning when I’m feeling lost
Unstable and unsure
Afraid that you could turn your back on me
‘Cause this is better than what I deserve
The bridges I have burned
Should leave me stranded far out on the sea
You rescued me
Saved me
Set me free
The best in me
Is brought out by the best in you
For longer than I know
I’ve yearned to waste away
I’ve wandered without aim
A well-worn name without a face
So tell me why should I
Deserve your saving grace
Cause I’m a lost and hopeless cause
Singing broken worn-out battle songs
You rescued me
Saved me
Set me free
The best in me
Is brought out by the best in you
The best in me
Is brought out by the best in you
How did it get so good?
How did it get so
How did it get so good?
How did it get so

Rain On Open Water
04:43
|
|||
|
Hear the rolling thunder
It’s always got a story to tell
If ever you should wonder
You’re only falling under its spell
Wait for me darling, I’m almost home
Ignore the thunder, ‘cause we are all outnumbered
Weary as a lover
Who, saddled with fatigue, never stalls
If ever you should wonder
The farther in, the deeper the fall
Pray for me darling, I’m almost home
And when the storm breaks up
Will you still stay close to me?
I know the nightmare’s all but done
Can we ever go back to being
Rain on open water?
Fear and love together
The two are never safe for the soul
Stoking at the embers
That with ignition burn out a hole
Pray for me darling, I’m all alone
When the storm breaks up
Will you still stay close to me?
I know the nightmare’s almost done
But can we ever go back to being
Rain on open water?
This is the best I ever could do
This is the last I’ve given for you
And as our bombs fall
Tears from the sky
I won’t reply
This is the best I ever could do
This is the last I’ve given for you
When the storm clears up
And there’s no one close to me
When my nightmare’s just begun
Can we ever go back to being
Rain on open water?
Storm clears up
Still stay close to me
When my nightmare’s just begun
Can we ever go back to being?

Your Flaws
03:48
|
|||
|
When we fall
It’s easy to lose who we are
Above all
The madness can tear us apart
Until we lose sight of the flame
That warmed a brighter day
Kept the storm at bay
Your flaws
They might let this fall apart
Your flaws
Can we hope to heal these scars
How you drive me to my knees
Such a beautiful disease
I’ve come down with you
And yes, I know you’re all
That I could ever want
But that won’t help the pain
Won’t seal me from the rain
Or the fear that we’re insane
Your flaws
They might let this fall apart
Your flaws
We can overlook these scars
In my heart there’s a symphony
Guiding me
To the thought of eternity
Spent alone
No companion’s hand to hold
I don’t know
Is my heart as cold as stone?
Are we better off alone?
I don’t know
I don’t know if I can make it on my own
If there’s hardship either way
Why choose the lonely road?
Better to walk with you than face the unknown
Better in fire than cold as stone
Best we should reap what we have sown
Better in fire than cold as stone
Better to be chained than die alone

Truth
05:53
|

The truth
Is all I’ve got
It makes a mess of me
And when the best of me is gone
I have only
The truth
It’s all I’ve got
It makes a mess of me
And when the best of me is gone
I have only
The truth is all I’ve got
It makes a mess of me
And when the best of me is gone
I have only
The truth it’s all I’ve got
It makes a mess of me
And when the best of me is gone
I have only the truth
Holding us back
Pushing against the grain
Breathing too fast
Longing to be home again
We know it won’t last
Ignoring all signs of strain
Holding us back from ourselves
Give up and run
Hope for a cold rain to come
Everyone knows we’ll never change
Summer is done
And it’s a bit more dangerous
Only a failure prays for rain
Always outcast
Losing at our own game
We paused the relapse
Hoping to forget the pain
Recall our dark past
Feeling forever changed
Holding us back from ourselves
Give up and run
Pray the day it never comes
Both of us know we’ll never change
When the summer’s done
You know it’s always dangerous
Only a failure prays for rain
Truth
Only a failure shows their pain
Truth
Only a failure walks away
Hope
Hope you can survive
Hope
Hope you’re still alive
Woke up in heaven
Emotions drowned
Safe for a second
My head still in the ground
And part of me longs
For the comfort
It’s all that I’ve known
For so long
But part of me calls
Me to listen
To turn myself around
As I’ve found
The truth
Everyone knows we’ll never change

Calling It Off
05:45
|
|||
|
Something tells me I should stay away
Don’t underestimate the power of feeling loved
Then all at once
Losing hold of what you’ve known
If there’s a figure in the sky
And I die
I’ll pray for redemption
For our souls
The dreams that we’ve had
Would end us both
Goodbye, I am lost
I am lost
At home in the wild
Goodbye, I am lost
I am lost
Calling
Calling to call it off
Savor the moments
We hold dear
When they’re here
‘Cause years
Blur the picture
‘Til it’s gone
A vague recollection
A forgotten psalm
Goodbye, I am lost
I am lost
Wondering where I belong
Goodbye, I am lost
I am lost
Calling
I’m calling to call it off
You were my vision
You were my song
But now we’re imprisoned
We can’t get along
And I’m feeling so strongly
We should break
After the absence of illumination
When comes a source of welcomed light
One grows accustomed to its presence
Leaning on it, depending on its guidance
Taking direction from the path it shows
Until, at once,
One learns their course must change
Moving them away from its comfort
From its healing glow
And in that moment
The darkness feels strong
Stronger than it ever could have been
Had the light not appeared in the first place
Goodbye, I am lost
I am lost
At home in the wild

Control
05:34

Who’ll protect me
When I have come undone?
Who’ll direct me?
Now it’s time for us to move on
Idolized
The angel in repose
Villainized
As her poison was exposed
I put my plans on hold
To do what I was told
But in the morning nothing changed
I looked inside of me
And saw the same old sorry scene
So, who’ll protect me
When I have come undone?
Who’ll direct me?
Now it’s time for us to move on
Given light
I always find the darkened truth
Given time
I could have shown you all the proof
But you’ve a better way
Of leading me astray
Than I of keeping to my role
And in a moment we had
Given up our goals
So who’ll protect me
When I have come undone?
Who’ll direct me?
Now it’s time for us to move on
Who’ll protect me
When I have come undone?
Who’ll direct me?
Now it’s time for us to move on
Is there any better way
To keep your mind
When your paralyzed
And you’re losing control?
Living in a fantasy
And hiding from
The dangers that this life
Has made yours
Moving
Moving on
Moving
Moving on

Maybe
03:47
|

|
Out on the rooftops
And in the shadows
All the places no one wants to be
Up on the top floor
Underwater
Floating through the air
And sea
Maybe
She’s been watching over
Maybe
She’s the one protecting me
Cause every morning
In the glass
I tell myself this is the end of me
But every night I rest my head
And somehow I can feel at peace
Maybe
She knows how I need her
Maybe
She’s in greater pain than I
Maybe
We’ve been growing older
Maybe
Blind to all the grief gone by
Maybe
She’s been watching over
And maybe
It’s all in my head

Cell To Call Home
10:14
|
|||
|
Angel lands herself
Behind locked doors
Tucked out of sight
Where she’ll never again fight
Severed from the bonds
That keep us straight
Stayed out too late
She accepted a harsh fate
But that’s the way of the world
For such a troubled young pearl
And she’ll never stop being my girl
Maybe my angel’s in peace at last
And maybe she's feeling okay
But I miss her dearly
Now I'm all by myself
But I would just as soon
Ask her to stay
She’s got a cell to call home
Sunrise leaves
A challenge resting in her place
Without her grace
And a sensitive embrace
Death would be a welcome
From this coldest air
I'll meet her there
As eternity we share
But that's the way of the world
For every pitiful fool
Who endangers himself for love
You had your words
And I had my promises to keep
No thought unheard
No stinging phrase could we unspeak
Now all I’ve left of you is a photograph
A box of useless things
And a burning urge to purge what’s left
Of my forgotten soul
If you’ll never speak again of me
Frail, I’m so frail
Dreamed an angel found me in my early grave
She knelt and prayed
That my body would be raised
Waking up as pale as early winter dawn
She sent me on
To find an ending to our song
Helping my angel find peace at last
Gives me a reason to stay
And I miss her dearly now
But I’m not alone
And I’ll pick up the pieces someday
Helping my angel find peace at last
Gives me a reason to stay
And I miss her dearly now
But I’m not alone
And I’ll pick up the pieces someday

Hold Me
06:19
|

|
Hold me
Whoever you are
You’re the one I want beside me
When the one I love is far away
And hope
Is a relative term
‘Cause at the moment
You’re the only hope I’ve got
Hold me
This terror will pass
Take a moment to reflect
On our reflection in the glass
And who’d have thought
For whatever it’s worth
That today would be
Our last day on this earth
Deep breath
And open your eyes
Take a moment to adjust
A little further from the light
And when it’s done
Things are never the same
I find a beauty in the shadows
And it seems to ease the pain
I would have thought
You were the only one
Who could have known
Who would have pulled me off that ledge
But I was wrong
I’ll catch a train
To a far away place
Where my troubles can’t chase
Where at last I’ll feel relief
Pain
Pain has no face
Chains now replaced
With wings that set me free
Hold me
Forever more
Take the demons I have fought
And settle the score
And once it’s done
You’ll not see me again
But know wherever I have landed
That my time is at an end
I would have thought
You were the only one
My angel atoned
Carried me safe
Through the unknown

Himlabacken Vol. 2 (24-bit audio)
by Moon Safari
supported by 35 fans who also own “A Cell To Call Home”
"Moon Safari" is back with a full-length studio album after more than 10 years - not counting the interesting collaboration in 2016 with Steve Nardelli and his band "The Syn". It's the long-awaited second part of "Himlabacken", and it's in the same vein, to my delight. Once again, incredible melody arcs and lush vocal harmonies in abundance! Pontus Åkesson surprises with an AOR ballad - unusual for the band, but such a magnificent one that it became my favorite track.

Let The Truth Speak
by Earthside
supported by 29 fans who also own “A Cell To Call Home”
Masterful production - deep, slow enough and a feast for your headphones. Inspiring arrangements and soul-searching vocal performances from a vast array of styles and voices. It's a mega-album, a world of its own. Up there with all the greats of the symph-prog genre. I just can't have enough of it. I like the balance between drama and calmness - always keeps you on your toes, gasping for more peaks and highs. Bordering on perfection - almost the best thing ever done in the progressive world.
