Hidden Instruments

Don't worry about saving these songs!
And if one of our instruments breaks,
it doesn't matter.
We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.
The strumming and the flute notes
rise into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world's harp
should burn up, there will still be
hidden instruments playing.
So the candle flickers and goes out.
We have a piece of flint, and a spark.
This singing art is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl
somewhere on the ocean floor.
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge
of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
They derive
from a slow and powerful root
that we can't see.
Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
and let the spirits fly in and out.
-Rumi

Coincidence Is No Accident
You ask yourself…….why?
That it takes all you have, everyday,
Just to feel alive
Remember the future…..Illuminate it
Remember the future…..Illuminate
Coincidence is no accident
Its our faith in love that keeps us strong
Tears fall and I don’t know why…
But I am overcome
So what are you to do…..through it all
Can you imagine the path?
See it before you?
We’re holding the vision, we’re letting in light
We’re holding the vision, let in light
Coincidence is no accident
Its our faith in love that keeps us strong
Tears fall and I don’t know why…
But I am overcome

A Child's Song
And as I watch you cry, tears forming in your eyes
Feels like there's nothing I can do to stop them falling
So break it up, open up and let it out...let it out
So calm down and come round
There is nothing here that can hurt you anymore
So calm down...calm down

Flickering Golden
Sun, flickering golden ,
Is one and one is all
Tides, that pull on the ocean,
Have crashed and forced the fall
We’re watching the world moving in time
Coming alive and waking up
Its part of the moment the planets align
Coming alive and waking up
Life, is given and taken
Come the hour, come the day
Memories are often mistaken,
For love, and love for pain
We’re watching the world moving in time
Coming alive and waking up
Its part of the moment the planets align
Coming alive and waking up

In Morning Sky
Dream, dream , the night away
Sunlight breaks, warms the day
Hope inside, You and I
Dark turns light, in morning sky
Sounds of song, reach us here
Fears , like leaves, are lifted clear
High and far away from me
Lost in fading melodies
And now as stars form with love,
Constellations far above
Good things come to those who chose to wait

Bending Bullets, Breaking Falls
Stop, breathe in the day and feel,
The light surround you,
In the eye of this summer storm is peace,
The calm has found you
Some will never know, just passers by,
Waiting to fade out
Growing up, growing up, only to break down
And in this world we're in, we fly to stall
It seems its all about
Bending bullets and breaking falls
The space between us all grows wide,
So pull it closer,
As love has given way to machines
Don't hide away from fear, in darkness lie,
We cannot let go
Or turn and run, turn and run,
Live life in slo-mo
And in this world we're in we fly to stall
It seems its all about
Bending bullets and breaking falls

“..for what is it to die, but to stand in the sun and melt into the wind?..”
Kahlil Gibran
The Windmills
...and from one space to another,
There is nothing between us, we are one and other,
An endless, constant loop of which there is no beginning nor end
A form is given, silence is broken by a distant voice calling into the void,
It answers itself.....be
Born and reborn
...and in the stillness of the distance and perpetual motion,
You will find yourself, in the windmills and the stars...

As with previous releases this is a solid album from start to finish which continues the storyline, themes and signatures perfectly. 'Enigma' and 'Another Same' are on par with or superior to many commercial offerings by established prog artists. The Waters, Wilson and Hayward influences shine through once more but I also hear song writing very much in the style of Difford and Tilbrook, 'Trough of War' & 'Another Same' probably being the best examples. These chaps are the real deal!
