Artist picture
Intelligent lyrics wrapped in dripping wet melodies. Been descibed as music you've always wanted to hear but never had the chance to.
To quote a bit of Shakespeare, "A life mended is but patched". The sutures split and the life drains from the wound. Once healed, the scar remains as a reminder of the pain. These are my scars. These are my thoughts, ideas, and wisdom I have gained along the way. The twisted raised surface of a life torn and mended and torn again. This is my collagen, my bandages, and all that lies beneath. It's been years since I have visited this page. I should be working to remedy that soon. The degree is in the bag--at least most of it--and the music can now resurface. Over the course of the next few months I will be going back to work on the Lethologica album. At this conjuncture, the tracks look like they'll be a lot more complete and complex (and possibly more eclectic) than the work I have done in the past. I am also hoping for a bit more congruence of sound--one of my biggest concerns with the last two albums. As the songs come together I will be uploading them for your perusal. Those of you who have been waiting for something new, I apologize for my absence. For the rest of you, I apologize for my return.

Story behind the song
I have had the pleasure of working with John Taylor on many occasions in the past and we have put together an enormous amount a material. Unfortunately, there isn't many that we have taken as far as the studio and the 800 miles or so between us makes the progress a bit slow. Who knows maybe we'll see an album of combined efforts sometime in the future . . . I could happen . . . if it does watch out.
Lyrics
Through These Thin Walls Music by John Taylor Lyrics by Tim Goss and John Taylor Through shadows we walk, The cold breath escapes, The footprints we leave behind, Delineate the pathways we've chosen, And through these thin walls, We hear silent cries, A symphony of chaos, Cresting the inescapeable void, And where are you now? The things we said the T.V. shows and books we've read the lights could never shine as bright as the stars that dwell in our eyes, Please understand, I won't ask you for more, If this is your refuge, I bid thee farewell, I bid thee farewell, And time won't stand still, Still I can't abide, Tradgedy of wasted years, Of leaving it all by the wayside, And through these thin walls, The silence confines, We orchestrate the emptiness, Of leaving it all behind, (chorus)
