When in the wake of my disbelief
I find the temperament to temper my needs
When will wake to all the gentle defeats
Behind the rustling
Not among you
Not alone
When the longing claws you
Trembling
No more sutures seal your holes
Make haste but you can't flee
You're not listening
In the crawlspace of my desires
You wait
In the bed that I once made
You wait for me
And I cannot be freed
And I cannot believe
The only thought I've worn
The crown of aching thorns
The love no longer mourned
The lips I have scorned
When in the throws of this affections plea
We keep all estate
Where the bodies lie with bound hand and feet
Are kept glistening
When in the wake of my disbelief
I find the temperament to temper my needs
When will wake to all the gentle defeats
Behind the rustling
Not among you
Not alone
When the longing claws you
Trembling
No more sutures seal your holes
Make haste but you can't flee
You're never listening
This entire album is an awesome journey through a land of chiptunes. It evokes such wonderful feelings and memories for me and is a really well done album overall. Highly recommended. KingIsaacLinksr
Apart from the fact that 'Reach for the Stars' is a perfect example of everything I love about computer music, the whole album is just an absolute belter of a piece of work. The soaring pitch-bent melodies and arpeggios, the basslines that make me want to dig out Thunderforce IV and the fact that (I don't say this lightly) some of the arrangements and progressions remind me heavily of Tim Follin. An utterly exceptional piece of work. Pure gold. Remote_
The two epic tracks on the latest from BC group Lakeman are mind-melters, opening slow and pensive before erupting into near-doom metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2022
