Wolflight 05:22
lyrics
No lyrics, just info: Cold, monotonous silence, the sway of the wind in the trees, a sudden trickle of water from leaves, seemingly ominous sounds in the distance, an overwhelming urge to escape the blackness. Wolflight: that time in the night where everything is shrouded in a cold, silver shimmer from nothing but the lonely glow of the moon and out come the sceadugengan; 'Shadow-Walkers'.
2.
Dawn, Freefall, Towards the Sun 07:22
lyrics
No lyrics, just info: The sun rises fresh but subdued, all things are sleepy and pretty. There is an innocently mischievous air as the wildlife awakes from the forest-meadow floor. Winter has ended so it is time for the little bird and his family to migrate. The little bird takes its first ever leap... Having eventually overcome the feeling of insecurity from leaving the home-tree, the little bird has a long flight ahead of it. Towards the star hanging in our atmosphere, the pin-point of emanating vigour, the warming life-bearer that burns an oculus into our realm as an outer-universe observatory for the gods.

about

This two-track album displays my love for the "slow-build", getting lost in the story and hopefully being taken somewhere far from my reality (which is something I try hard to incorporate when writing.)

It might progress too slowly for some metalheads so for the metals, play 'Dawn...' from 03:41 or simply pay it no mind.

Inspired by nature - mainly the omnipotent sun - and a term from a Bernard Cornwell book 'wolflight'.
When writing 'Dawn...' I realised I was unintentionally narrating the story of a little bird (if that's even possible; 'unintentionally', does anyone else's brain do that? lol).

Enjoy \m/
