about

Second single from the upcoming LP Rise and Fall with the Waves.

A dreamlike expanse of oscillating feedback and electric piano blossom against a propulsive backdrop of tape saturated breakbeats and off-kilter drum machines. Electric guitars shimmer and dance while distant flugelhorn melodies drift off into the distance.
The lyrics of Ephemeral Dreams are fragments of momentary reflection centred around the ephemeral nature of life and love.

lyrics

Lost in thought
As white clouds shift shape
Abstract forms plant a seed
Images dance with a random grace
Sunlight reflects off the sea

Lost in dreams honey, as dawn breaks
Birds circle and perch on trees
Flourishes of memory ignite my mind
The way your eyes look up at me

Rest your elegance on me
As we breath
Let us feel
Ephemeral dreams

Faint lights in the distance gleam
Traces of love left unseen
As I wake up
Twilight blue gradations fade out of view

Let us breath
As we feel
Ephemeral dreams
Let time disappear

Rest your elegance on me
Until next time honey...
