Franck Ruzé If you've ever played with the idea of Elliott Smith pairing with Eels to make a sequel of Pet Sounds that would embed a vision as large as that of The lamb lies down on Broadway (with sprinkles of early Schönberg), you will adore this. Yes, it's that good. Favorite track: Venus.

humankind rests a dagger to the neck of everything that ever was, or will be blessed the voice in the hall sounds like no one at all and a semblance waits in white the son of man is the band in my brain their brass and their bells burn from black carousels im a doll at the ventriloquist’s hand eyes full of the land floating by, if i can humankind rests a dagger to the neck of everything that ever was, or will be blessed the voice in the hall sounds like no one at all and a semblance waits in white camellias are crushed in her palm a perfume runs thick, from the glow of the wick buried deep in the warmth of the spell where i’ll awake with the scratch of cold nails in my back humankind rests a dagger to the neck of everything that ever was, or will be blessed power compels, in the shell of a bell and god turns off the light forever a tear upon the eye of a marble man worlds so tall become nothing at all and a semblance wades in white a semblance wades in white your semblance wades in white

she keeps the sunset on a string and watches from afar in the hollow her violin heart will twist and weave my will afloat upon the wind to fold upon itself to tell her in a sigh He's one of wind and wild light Blue untold, unfolding a sunbeam Heaven-eyed and lilac smiled lonely leapt and wept to swim the flood to swallow hellfire tears and melt into the sun murmur of the holocene a stranger in a stranger’s dream oh god i'll love you till the sun grows cold she keeps the sunset on a string and watches from afar in the hollow

there’s carbon in my chest where jewelry built a nest im tangled in the arms of venus torn apart everyone I know is never coming home im tangled in the arms of venus torn apart the sun is turning green beneath a neptune’s ring (her words, though few, drown it out) but im tangled in the arms of venus torn apart

deep blue i’ve been falling down for you when i think of things you do it sends me spinning on and on (on and on and on and on) spinning on and on (on and on and on and on) deep blue i’m loosing every single day i don’t know why it feels ok You send me spinning on and on Venom eyes and poisoned smile here to keep me out of style say we’ll be together every day in your arms - a destructive world an endless stream of bad referrals I’ll patiently await

here on orphaned planet blue i’ve got nothing to do but watch the neon die through hurricanes' closed eyes prehistory unfolds the tourniquet from venus de milo with baths of light pacing the floor somewhere in shadow and in light a semblance wades in white a wing fell upon me through torn time in dead heat my will upon the wind and tumbling in aphelion forever an ailing limb reached for the door with baths of light pacing the floor the one who knows won’t speak anymore the one who knows won’t speak anymore

Float Away 03:09
the morning star will guide the lambs with the wave of a mother’s loving hand la marseillaise, you raise the killer’s knife! as he stumbles off into the night heartfelt music plays the scenery I'm painted by the sound float away, float away hurry off in vehemence and miss your angel’s passing glance i sold my heart for a witch’s broom her great tower splits my sun in two but the sun sinks to the sea in the fevered dreams of a young antigone float away, float away

hell dust to pollinate pressed flowers staining the page i can’t stop talking to you even though i never knew you i’ll swallow light in years until i disappear inner planets, brighter days but my world just floats away the curve of the moon, a face at the sill of the window halos and halogen a kingdom of living ends inner planets, burn away pluto floods at a summer's pace while the sway of the wand scatters gold in the baths of the deep

if i ever catch a break i’m gonna twist this fate into a lovely shape and maybe then i would feel the sun i wanna win in the end beat what i’m up against it’s a hell of a curse and it wants me dead but i’ll cling to a star with my heart from afar she keeps seeing the future in reverse but i’ll cling to a star with my heart from afar not used to coming though I’m not used to coming through but it’s what i’ve got to do for you so i’ll cling to a star with my heart from afar

palaces of sculpted ice are floating out at sea shocks of foam burnt wintergreen the scent invokes a memory but not for me in the deadened lace of morning the lighthouse bears a warning forever a tear upon the eye of a marble man

about

Cartoon devotional music as journey from cynicism to sincerity for the absurdly lonely. It is what it is, which is what is not; and when the is-not's and whatnots become tied in knots, only then can the tracer of the acclivity scale the rope that mounts to what is.
love, flügelhorn
and intermittently, sgt. bathwater
