Matter of Time

Long ago and far away
Love was a much simpler game to play
We held our cards and we knew them well
But we’d never show them, we’d never tell
But there was one I held the most
Trusted so and kept real close
She was my best friend, though we’ve lost touch now
She was the first ever love I found
I remember when we used to talk
For hours on end about nonsense thoughts
She played the keys and so did I
When she performed my eyes went wide
Her hair was a perfect golden blonde
With eyes that sparkled and shined right on
When she smiled at me, my heart would fly
I’d catch my feelings just to take the dive
She could tell me anything
And I’d believe every word she’d say
With a laugh or a cry, I’d hang on every line
But it was only a matter of time
When we grew up, well, things got strange
Her politics got her all deranged
So I stole her poem and wrote a song
That my friend and I played all summer long
Looking back those times were great
Full of love and grand mistakes
But it's not over, there’s more to come
I’m a kid that’s trying too hard too young
After all
Is said and done
I’m glad it’s left
The way it was
Like little songbirds in the sky
You ought to spread your wings and fly

Bolton Strid

A morning walk through autumn trees
The hum of water from a nearby stream
A peaceful feeling comes in waves
The sense of serenity engulfs this place
In the clearing, there’s a small creek
Shrouded by autumn's mystique
A beauty fair, complimented by Yorkshire air
Step closer to the edge
The water’s warm and inviting in
No one else is here to see
How bad could one swim really be?
‘Cause the feeling, overcomes you
A calling, you feel in truth
To just go in, take a dip in the Bolton Strid
But it pulls you down
Far too quick
To catch your breath
In the rolling Strid
You tumble through
Those shallow holes
As you’re ripped down further
In the undertow, the undertow
There’s something, in the water
That I haven’t, seen before
Floating downstream, I wonder what on earth it could be?

The Chance

People always come and people always go
Each one leads down a different road
Some of love and some of hate
But you’re at the crossroads and there’s no turning back
And you decide to take the less trodden path
There’s still no guarantee
I, I am tired of relying on guesses and thoughts
She sounds perfect, I know I could be wrong
But I’m taking a chance here I’m going in strong
‘Cause I think that I’m right, we could be a perfect pair
In fact I’ll introduce myself right here
But everything is different, everything has changed
I don’t know the rules to the simplest of games
What am I supposed to do?
She wouldn’t bat an eye, wouldn’t give me a glance
All I’m asking is to give me a chance
Is that too much to ask from you?
But here, here I am with nothing at all to show
I’m pretending it doesn’t hurt to be alone
I’ll miss you but you’ll never know
‘Cause I’m here by myself wondering where it all went wrong
When all I did was say hello
Oh
People always come and people always go
Each one leads down a different road
Sometimes it’s best to walk away

Ghost of a Memory

Lonely winter nights
Kept you aware
Of what it was like
To wake up and see she’s not there
Cold winds blow that call her name
The one you couldn’t save
Oh, couldn’t save, Oh
Run to the hearth
To splash the embers out
Kick open the door
Outside snow falls all around
You run to the glade where she used to dance
A memory that will last
Oh, bring it back, Oh
Something inside of you feels a call from the beyond
It beckons you closer, you swear you feel her warmth
You close your eyes to sense it, afraid it might be gone
Suddenly your eyes open and see a figure through the snow
A ghost from a memory of love lost from years ago
You run to embrace her but she turns to an ever white glow
Cold winds blow that call her name
She comforts gently
She kisses his face
And fades away to grey
“I’ll see you someday”

Ned Greenough Syracuse, New York
I write songs about wizards and rivers that kill people. I hope you like keyboards!

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

I received this as a surprise present by the band for pre-ordering the upcoming album, so thanks a lot to you, too :-)) As could be expected by Pat Sanders & Co, highly melodic prog that should, for instance, appeal too friends of Fish-era Marillion (although Uncle Fish would never have reached those high notes ;-) ) and some instrumentals (from beautiful miniatures like Bubbles to the more epic Last Supper). Among many other fine things offered here, I especially love Pat's piano playing!

Great music, sort of steely Dan with a hint of Steven Wilson vibe to it. Should be better known imo

Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits.
