Great ethereal dream pop/shoegaze. Amazing study music or to just chill out to
Favorite track: the wind and the motion.

here we are
reaching for the sun
our journey has just begun
grace flows through a peaceful calm
here we are
racing toward the sun
swift through a silent sound
forgotten, yet lingers on
and so there i was
a grapple of chill coming on
i’ve felt so different all along
i’ve felt so different all along
and so there i was
a grapple of chill coming on
i’ve felt so different all along
i fade into a somber song
here we are
i have lived so long
on the cold hills alone
fading with a somber song

there's something better still
that draws me against my will
there's something fairer still
it floated and left me here
there's something better still
a grain of love and silk
there's something fairer still
in patterns, we should heal
there's something better still
your dreams were threads to weave
there's something fairer still
if you be as you believe
there's something better still
it would shed no tears of me
there's something fairer still
i'll be on my way, my dear
there's something better still
a rest from pain and grief
there's something fairer still
you left me breathless, beyond belief
there's something better still
to do in quiet, restful sleep
there's something fairer still
in playful bliss, we breathe
there's something better still
i'll hold it against my will
there's something fairer still
better yet, it's something real
there's something better still
there's something fairer still

here's a scene i made for you
i thought you may pass on by
with no returning
stare and watch me over
'til i lie here and make it warm
just stay awhile
how did you find me
when you say
you were outnumbered?
how did you find me
when you say
our days were numbered?
it feel like i should follow
every movement, i try to hide
with no tomorrow
pages start to call me
while our memories linger by
it seems so right

from delicately petaled memories
with radiant wings of reveries
above a sky of purest blue
among the flowers of loveliest hue
oh, sweet serene
shall you be my dear
who now in blessed sleep
and take unto graceful reach
every aching word we whispered here
when there’s nothing left to feel
i gaze down through the quiet streams
they vanish, carrying off my dreams
to view all these vibrant scenes
apart from the frames we see
that sweet romance, so free
from a recurring memory

while i reclaimed what i had lost and missed
i purchased wisdom with a single tear
i recall the thrill of a sterling wheel
a radiant light that brightens near
breathe my love and think of me
on distant time, stay with me
breathe my love and think of me
but more and more
these blossoms fade
these blossoms fade, yet tinted great
tinted great
should my voice fade from your ears
as i reach the sky with my fingertips
a mixture of all things becomes clear
a form of glitter in this time of year
breathe my love and stay with me
on precious time, care for me
breathe my love and stay with me
but more and more

of hidden beauty
it's green and carefree
i slipped upon the glimmer
with early leaf and flower
given praise within the day
but only for an hour
a simple truth
led us into the light
may your heart remain mine
and shine your way into time
shine your way into time
into time
in particular sight below
to where it starts to show
where absent waves are slow
the winds of spring shall blow
oh, gentle rain
take what's mine
oh, gentle rain
you're clear as wine

the dream projections lighting up
rolling right into these arms
'til suddenly, i reach the heart
in nothingness, i simmer down
before i came through the cloud
over time, the faults were found
the white page lies blank outside
wide around the candlelight
i pray for faith with you
day by day
you were far away
uncaring all the way
you're so far away
you're just so far away
i've asked you to stay

take me in, oh holy saints
here i am, in the rain
take me in and tend my wings
time and time again, we flew away
settle in, oh holy saints
gathered here, as we ride the wave
i'm losing my grasp, amidst the fall
it will soon be gone, away from home
hold onto me

to infinity

with conquering limbs
with silent lips
like a thousand storms
shed no more bliss
while we escape
to unmapped fields
but in my heart
finds a calm release
through pools i see
the smallest things
it quivered by
my usual tears
in my own hands
a mind at ease
around the fall
while we exceed
i am yours, as an idle breeze
all things should come in between
don't let our uncertainty
overcome our eternity
my sweetest gesture
like any other
which has been gathered
while we move forward
i am yours, as a gentle breeze
all days should come in between
just don't let our uncertainty
overcome our eternity (to infinity)

countless sensations
04:31
|
|

|
your breathing stirs the gentle breeze
beyond all realms, with graceful ease
a fragile line between the sand
forever yours, at your command
so it came to me
unlike any other memory of it
it occurred to me
countless sensations, it feels surreal
you are near, or you are far
in time and space, it seems subpar
throughout the day, in any way
emerging from a remembered day
it's hard to look back
i never cease to take this path

the perfect and the broken
are what i hear most often
taken from the present
until it finally breaks them
the perfect and the broken
are what i hear most often
taken from the present
until it finally breaks them
no matter what may happen
the distance between heaven
and the town i once lived in
is where i lie down to listen
a floating presence
that tells me secrets
a pleasant daydream
it radiates a vision
a floating presence
that tells me secrets
a pleasant daydream
it ratiates a meaning
no matter what may happen
the world keeps spinning
beginning without and ending
through every cloud, i'm gleaming

long-distance calls
03:38

i can't catch strays with one another
it feels like every second didn’t matter
we're living like there’s no end to this
i should've ended it with
with a blissful kiss
we didn't care about the distance
'cause i might lose you in an instant
didn't know we're on borrowed time
in your arms, felt like it was mine
i can’t make sense of what i'm after
each passing hour never really mattered
we’re pretending like this will never exist
i should’ve let it slip
with a blissful kiss
it feel so far from my heart
wish we could go back to the start

are you thinking what i'm thinking?
it feels closer to what i believed in
if it's destined to pass the season
then it's a journey to what i breathe in
are you thinking what i'm thinking?
does it matter if i kept it hidden?
reverence for nature to run in
then it's a journey to what i breathe in
stare at me secretly
those tears will fall eventually
are you drawing near, right next to me?
i'm falling right next to you, my dear
fall into me

i carry your heart with me
in your essence
i felt your presence
and in our moments
it bridges our distance
in your absence
i felt your presence
and in our moments
it bridges our distance
