i can’t believe
can you deceive
my eyes perceive you as
beautiful peace
peaceful as a glass calm pond
underneath a mist
radiant orange from
an early morning sun
an early morning shine
you are the dawn
i can’t forget
i don’t regret
all that you said gave me
beautiful peace
peaceful as these memories
clouded like a dream
i told you things that
i meant at the time
i meant it at the time
and you did too

On first listen I immediately felt a feverish familiarity, a spacey, frayed-wire connection to that dreamy echo of an angsty youth. I imagined Eno singing over Kilbey arrangements, and the dark embrace I always got from most anything on the 4AD label... from 80s Cocteau Twins and Bauhaus to Red House Painters and Lush in the 90s... really the entire cast of wonderfully introspective bands spawned during those decades. Wrenching, drifting... insistent, compelling. And deeply moving. Marvelous! Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse)
