Kertokaa mitä mieltä olette näistä kolmesta biisistä! Vielä neljä uutta tulossa kevään aikana ladattavaksi, ja livenä meidät voi nähdä Helsingissä alkukesästä. Tervetuloa tutustumaan http://www.sestina.fi

1. Rose In Dreams

http://www.sestina.fi/mp3/rose_in_dreams.mp3

pretty in a tired kind of way
you dress like you'd wish to remain
unseen by others
like your books
under covers

didn't think that I'd be drawn to
someone so ordinary
but like you
I didn't choose these dreams
my dreams chose me

Rose closes her eyes
disappears in between the lines
in words out of reason or rhyme
and I'm nothing she would ever want
'cause us creatures of flesh and blood
don't easily seem to agree
with what you are

so walk through the crowd
walk on now through the crowd
walk right past everyone
walk on through
stay unharmed
walk right past
remain untouched

you don't need my heart
you don't want my hand
you need a witness
you want to show what you've seen
an undiscovered land
a home out of time
out of place
home without faces or names
without lives

and she quietly passes me by
doesn't notice that I'm at her side
doesn't see it's not me
from whom she needs to hide

but I know I can never be
as real as her make believe
as true as what awaits
out in her dreams

Rose opens her eyes
spreads her wings open wide
runs head to head with the wind
to take flight

and when she's vanished up in the sky
we'll remember her sometimes
and I'll tell
how she once was one of us


2. Don't Look

http://www.sestina.fi/mp3/dont_look.mp3

son
you're old enough to know
there's more to fear
than what is shown

I've seen
a world outside these walls
it will lift you high
and let you fall

and when the dark is creeping up
I hope you'll turn and run right back

and the sins you carry in your blood
I'll share and cradle in my arms

don't look
your hand is in the shadow
one step
and you are sure to follow
your heart
would lie
would weigh you down
take mine
'cause you can't make it without

I taught you kindness
taught you doubt
and still you wanted to find out

I nursed you close
kept you in shelter
yet you went looking for another
but when your pulse begins to race
remember that this is your place

and those you've met
the things you've seen
don't matter here
alone with me

don't look
you're standing in the shadow
one step
and I can't surely follow
your heart
would lie
would weigh you down
take mine
'cause I can do without


3. Devil May Care

http://www.sestina.fi/mp3/devil_may_care.mp3

In these years
I've fallen far from your grace
hoping with distance I'd be safe

with the pretenses of my heart
I bought your love
and tried to pass it off as my own

but I know what I've done now
I know where I am now
I know how far I'll go

waste my life
in your arms
waste away
by your side
saved I'm lost
devil may care

the only colors I could
ever tell apart
are in the curves and shadows of your skin
the only sound that I could
make any sense of
is your whisper in my ear

waste my life
in your arms
waste away
by your side
sell my soul
in your name
saved I'm lost
devil may care

OCEAN SKY

http://www.sestina.fi/mp3/ocean_sky.mp3


under the ocean sky
you drown in sighs
you remember
sometimes

under the ocean sky
steps that cross the shoreline
are taken by the tide

and by dawn
you'll be gone
you'll close the door
head on out
and sink the oars
drift on with the flow
with the autumn tide
you leave the shore
come morning light
you leave your home
follow until you're lost

under the ocean sky
you miss but can't recall
her eyes and how she smiled
when she thought that no-one saw
and how she used to lay
awake before the dawn
in a bedroom full of flowers
with a window out to sea

you gave out for the waves
the dress she never wore
quit hoping many times
until one day you found
with shards of wood and quills
it washed back on the shore
white as it ever was
her hair caught in its straps

take me down
take me below
show me where
the rivers are born

take me down
take me below
show me where
the buried go

Ensinnäkin, olisit säästänyt nuo lyriikat kotisivuillenne etkä lisännyt niitä tohon. Oli häiritsevän paljon tekstiä kelattavan yli..
Toisekseen, biisit vähän olemattoman kuulosia mun korvaan edes rauhallisille kuunteluhetkille. Toki rokimpaa yleensä kuuntelenkin, mutta toisinaan myös pitää rauhottuakin.

[Sestinamusic]

Kiitos kommenteista! Hienoa että kuuntelit ja jaksoit vielä pistää viestin.

Tämä on tosiaan melko rauhallista ja ehkä kaunistakin musaa.

WASTE NO WORDS

turning around
spots him in a crowd
a face so young bears no lines at all
hers a roadmap
of the lost and the alone
such a pretty thing
takes her by the hand
like a lover
like a son

she breathes him in
and he breathes her out
one more sigh
then he helps her down

still holds on
she stays wrapped around
for the longest time
she fears
she's falling hard
saying

"waste no words
you're all alone
save the truth
for somebody who wouldn't know"

she fills her heart
asleep in his arms
and dreams about
the final train out of this town

spring moves on
this has got to stop
tells herself
that one month is enough

takes one year
before deciding that she's done
they say love is never found
in cheap motels
but the boy is waiting
and she says

"waste no words
he's all alone
save the truth
for somebody who wouldn't know"

she fills her heart
asleep in his arms
and dreams about
the final train out of this town

she knows herself
knows what time can do
still tells him
"this I swear is true"
"I might be old
I might be a fool
but I'll stay here
and I belong to you"

Ja tässä neljäs tänä keväänä julkaistavista viidestä biisistä. Kaikki keikalle Semifinaliin 8.6. jossa mukana myös mahtava Major Label.

FASTER

http://www.sestina.fi/mp3/faster.mp3

you say
let's take a drive
and kill the headlights

no radio
no words
the dark surrounds us
keeps our secrets

hands off the wheel and eyes closed
the perfect night to leave home
I've got nothing to run from
but I'll run with you

you say it will be fine
cause no-one sees this
you say that it's ok
no-one will miss us
no-one comes looking

I'm sure this road goes somewhere
but you're not set on arrival
you're not heading for closure
along this centerline

follow no signs
and forget all advice
just your hand in mine
and fast forward

I'll take your lies
I will take the whole ride
if your hand in mine
we'll last as long

we'll head up to the mountains
got to get to the top
before the fuel runs out

a long winding slope
then turn the engine off
and ride the gravity

you say
you'll steer in between two lanes
you're taking the wrong side
I'm out of harms way

you say
if there's a head to head
you're going to take the hit
I'm going to stay safe

This road is split between us
pulling us back and forth
but there is no destination
for us on either side

follow no signs
and forget all advice
just your hand in mine
and fast forward

I'll take your lies
I will take the whole ride
if your hand in mine
we'll last as long

whatever's in line
and what fits in a lifetime
no different
not unlike
only faster
