A heavenly mix of luscious vocals, emotional lyrics, and layers of powerful instrumentation. Ethereal rock at it's best!!! Randy LeMasters - Randy's Music Empor
densely woven melodies and moody, chorus-drenched hooks that recall the best of 80s ethereal pop/rock outfits you might have caught on MTVs 120 Minutes back in the day; imagine a Celtic pop band on melancholy, dreamy-pop label 4AD. Leslie Fleisher, Pittsburgh City Paper - Full article here: http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/archive.cfm?type=Music%20Previews&action=getComplete&ref=3101 It's a breathtaking effort, sure to please old Garden fans while reaching out to kids who cut their teeth on 4AD-style dream-pop... Ed Masley, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Full article here: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04296/399518.stm Between the Waters' 'Connection' recaptures the mid-to-late 80's college radio sound with great bravado, using classic rock structures, yet adding a gypsy feel with the addition of Christine's harp-like acoustic guitar work and Tanya K.'s melodic violin on songs such as "Shifting Sand", "Silence" (great lyrics on that one!), and "Tidal Wave". Singer Patricia's voice is multi-layered and shows great range, especially on "Into Beauty", which has an infectious melody that stays with you long after playing the CD, and truly takes center stage on "Be Here". My favorite is "Starry Nights" - it's a classic alternative rock groove. Monica Richards of Strange Boutique, Faith and the Muse The Between the Waters record was a true pleasure to mix. Its a treat to work on music that I would also listen to as a fan. Between the Waters recalls the best of the darker 80s bands like the Cure and modern day sirens like Natalie Merchant to create a sound all their own. - Matt Brown of Trespassers William Connection is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs in the vein of Kristin Hersh or early Sundays. A work of real substance. Brian Hazard - 11th Records "A heavenly mix of luscious vocals, emotional lyrics, and layers of powerful instrumentation. Ethereal rock at it's best!!!"

Lyrics
where do we go since faith has been broken what will be left when everything is known do we hold on to hope ride out the madness or give in to fear in our moments of weakness sand is shifting beneath us turning up the ground where we would stand time is telling our secrets nothing left sacred or safe in this shifting sand what is the worst if we should let on that there is no answer that we aren't always the strong ones when we are gone when the story is over what will they remember our glory, our failure
