brycecandrade This album is really cool and really diverse! Took a while for me to pick a favorite since they are all unique tracks but really loved the feel of Nantucket. Love the classic vibes on this track a lot and grove sits just right. Favorite track: Nantucket.

The Witch 03:52
Well I can't tell what you're looking' for, so please stop crying at my door... I don't read minds and my patience grows thin, please tell me why I should let you in... Saw her by the road stripping off clothes so slow, giving off magical dreams so she can spread her "wings"... Running out of time, her aura is sublime, finally pulling me in to become her kin.

Filth enters into me like a receptacle of pain my torment intensifies as blood rushes to my head... Why!? Blood rushes to my head and waves wash up my spine as my gaze fades to a blur, and I begin to burn! Drought, debt, and politics... where in my life can this all fit? Is this happening to me will I die soon or fade away... ...let's find out!

Embedded 04:32
I'm always too deep inside my own head. Working through the pain its gonna leave a stain embedded deep inside my brain... Now I sit in vain in the dark cold rain with no one else but myself to blame... I'm always too deep inside my own head.

Residence 03:45
Inside this hallowed home, in which warmth is held, behind its glass hides meaning, read into deeper than any tome. To what emerges this meaning? Appears to the soul effervescent, bubbling to life as a bevy of cheer, like a creature who is weaning. "There's not much left to say even with evil's presence in the world... ...regardless of what lies in store, just remember to enjoy yourself." Hence why the home is sacred. Where all walks of life dwell in a land meant to be in peace, and be rid of a world of all hatred... ...full of hatred, rid of hatred, rid of all hatred... "There's not much left to say even with evil's presence in the world... ...regardless of what lies in store, just remember to enjoy yourself."

Dawn breaks the silence as a robed nomad roams across the woodland lonely he said "son I've got a tale..." "You're young so you've go it easy, but it won't take too long to see all of the evil around you, so please grow big and strong." I too had soul in my eyes when I was your age... ...then that was all taken away from me when locked in a cage. "You're young so you've go it easy, but it won't take too long to see all of the evil around you, so please grow big and strong." "Now take this lesson that I gave to you, go out into the world and do what's true... ...just remember not to falter, not going' off your path for if you do that, you'll get my wrath!" Than one day I heard many years later on the wanderer died but his memory still goes on. "His legacy continues with his mind in my heart, I stand for equality and at least that's a start." The world's descended to hell and I have prepared... now tip no more tales to tell, my enemies will run scared. "His legacy continues with his mind in my heart, I stand for equality and at least that's a start." "So I'll keep fighting on oh so relentlessly. When we come out victorious then everyone will see... ...hate never is the answer, your ideology's all wrong! This evil spreads like cancer, but with love it'll all be gone!"

Nantucket 03:12
I've foreseen my death in the future, it seems my time has come to pass. But, before I leave I must exclaim to you... ...bring down the oppressors and break the glass! Perverse is the way that we live, the wicked all fill the graves, an island full of secret evil, hidden away amongst the waves. Usage has increased tenfold, so much there is nothing left to drink. I'll be cast into the cold, and my corpse will now forever sink. Perverse is the way that we live, the wicked all fill the graves, an island full of secret evil, hidden away amongst the waves.

Hickory Wind 04:01
In South Carolina there are many tall pines I remember the oak tree that we used to climb But now when I'm lonesome, I always pretend That I'm getting the feel of hickory wind I started out younger at most everything All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring? But it makes me feel better each time it begins Callin' me home, hickory wind It's hard way to find out that trouble is real In a far away city, with a far away feel But it makes me feel better each time it begins Callin' me home, hickory wind Keeps callin' me home, hickory wind

about

"This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls. There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties. Going to the mountains is going home." -John Muir
