Lyrics
Fallen tower Former high rise Once a ladder Where is heaven
High spire Almost forever Skies in motion Reaching through the clouds
Suffer in silence Heart full of arrows Breathing is bitter Yearning to contact home

Oh these glorious harmonies! And the chords on “reaching through the clouds” are so perfect! Great listen!
Listening to your music is one of my FAWM highlights. I really dig the prog stuff you write. You know how to pace the lyrics and add more drama. I love the moment the electric guitar joins. Sooo big! And that chord around 1:16. No idea what you're doing musically, but it just strikes the right chords. Great!!!
Great mood with this! I got some Peter Gabriel vibes starting with, “High Spire”. Great atmosphere and flows in your arrangements… pulled me right in!!
Yeah! Loving these lush vocals! Great melodies as well. Love the harmonic shift before spoken radio thing is cool too. There is a lot to digest harmonically. I am actually glad you kept the rhythmic language more straight forward. The piano break feels like entropic disintegration but then we get a little coda… hmmm that was peculiar but it works.
Second listen now… feeling the pedal point better this time. That is such a nice release to the second verse. The progression on reaching through the clouds is breathtaking!
Ok back to the pedal. Now I’m feeling the larger form. Verse 3 you saved the harmonic expansion for the interlude. Disintegrate the fills over the piano outro are great, then surprise bass on that ostinato. This was a lot for FAWM congrats on a piece of art!
