Bright Sides

Just give me a smile
And I'll cherish it dearly
I'll save it in memory for a rainy day
Just give me some laughter
There's nothing quite like it
Pain, grief, and sadness will all melt away
If you happen to know The Hundred Acre Wood
Or the way to Toad Hall
Then please fill me in
Because tea is at twelve
And there's a chair by the fire
If the conversation's good I'll be staying awhile
Today's the perfect day for the bright sides of life
They'll pick you up and tune you in
And make you feel alright
It's like waltzing in Vienna or flying in a dream
A string ensemble breathing
The rolling tide of spring
If you find yourself aching
For a cold cup of Entwash
A walk in the moonlight or some Longbottom Leaf
May the leeward side find you
The sun never blind you
The good book remind you
Of the love that we share

Ballet for a Marsh

She moves with easy grace
She moves in silent circles
Breathe in the air that stirs, she walks by……..draw in
She’s become a part of me
By accident I’ve fallen
It's not her fault…….It’s me
She, to be a queen
To put a name to her face
Would mean the world
Breathe in, hold it long
Until there’s nothing to exhale
She is never out of sight
Just far enough so she won’t feel my eyes
What sin to waste what could have been

Lunch in the Sun

I put on my morning harmony
It always feels so good in a major key
The sun was singing a steamy moonlight serenade
While the moon was creeping off
Looking for a little shade
The tea was begging to be steeped
And the shower was hissing for some attention
But the only thing that was on my mind
Was lunch in the sun
I stepped outside to saddle up Ben
He was three and a half and stood sixteen hands
We made our way to a warren I knew
Where old Fiver told stories in the early afternoon
The primroses had all begun to bloom
And the sweet scent of clover was in the air
For El-ahrairah this was a perfect day
For lunch in the sun
Oh, I daydreamed away
Glenn Miller flew right above me
Conducting the clouds to some long lost tune
From Heaven the horns washed through me
And then I knew it was time to go
But I said to myself as I trotted on home
It couldn't have been a better day
For lunch in the sun

Blue and Sand

Sunrise orange fills the sky
We wake to reach to push the ground aside
Healing sun came early
The March winds kept their promises of spring
Rejoice the birth of seasons
Miracle to bloom
A tapestry to blanket Mother
Open up and welcome
Drench us in light, bathed in morning dew
Child's footsteps closer
Nose gently pressed to sample summer's yield
Rejoice the gift of sharing
Colors with the world
A visually fragrant painted landscape
Anxious bee come rest on me
Easy breeze will take you home again
Fill the air with a pungent nectar
Sweet to breathe like a drug for your senses
Mother feed us rain cloud
And chase your gray to blue
Filtered light come dancing
And we begin to sing
Allow us time to grow
Mature and give our beauty
To sculpt the Earth in shades of natural tone
Time for life
Sandman fills our heads with song of cricket
Then leave us to dream in our quiet night
The romantic lure of Mother's perfect stage
No painter's brush could match her genius
Sleep to dream, dream to reach
To grow as high as elephant's eye

Echolyn recommends:
Open Skies Exploding
by Brett William Kull
Excellent songwriting and production
go to albumIf you like Echolyn, you may also like:
supported by 19 fans who also own “...and Every Blossom”
The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range.

Just sets right, intelligent but not overblown. Nice balance across tracks.

As a Genesis fan, I can't help but praise the outstanding musicianship and songwriting skill in this album. An instant classic.

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

Michelle Blades - Visitor
by Michelle Blades
Wrenching indiepop heavy on synths and stormy melodies make for an LP that feels profound in its vision.
