English composer Des O'Connor and American poet Ashley Alquine team up to create aural landscapes from surreal vocals and experimental beats. Living on different continents hasn't hindered their ability to create music, thanks to the alchemy of the Internet. Des labels them the First Transplanetary Band(tm), and they collaborate with file transfers and arcane digital voodoo. The band has currently just completed contributing to the musical score of a UK channel 4 documentary film called 3's a Crowd, due out this fall, and the band is also working on its soon to be released CD, Resurrection.

Story behind the song
This song is an observation of one person on a frosty morning in Paris as she watches people below her window go about their day. A sense of coldness pervades the song.
Lyrics
Paris in the winter Laughter frozen in the air Gusts of quiet mem’ry Blow around us everywhere Words crowd in the station Travel on a midnight prayer Aging light is dawning Over people in the square (chorus) We We are lost in action Passing life with shaded eyes Passing life with shaded minds We are lost in action Look down through the window All the sparrows perching there Pressed close to each other They give more than we can spare Ooooooooooaaaah Chorus Oooooo Lost in a fog of blindness Ending of our despair Last of our human kindness Recognition not found anywhere Love…. Oooooaaaah Love… Oooooaaah
