about

This track was written partly before recording Malignon Grove EP. The lyrics reference Framtiden är ett svävande skepp förankrat i forntiden by Älgarnas Trädgård. Look it up, even just the album cover is worth it!


Also: putting software instruments through guitar amplifiers is always fun.

lyrics

Give a broken track recorder
found at yard sales a new cover
Take your eyes on a hike to see
Just who

Give another gift, a present
Or a floating one from the past
Once you know you’re at home you feel
the breeze

Try to look ahead, for pieces
Eyes are closing, mouth is dry
Solve the puzzle and take the trial
the tour

Give another gift, the future -
Anchored a hovering ship in the past
Once you know you’re alone you feel
the breeze
