lyrics

I Am The World

Bewildered clock awakes and counts the time
Tall shadows roam the streets and tag along
I pour myself a drink and settle down
To scratch a line of lyrics for a song

The world has come to me in bits and pieces
I try to make them fit into my scheme
Some bits may talk, some bits are missing
And some can pierce my vision like a beam

The atom splits, the thunder strikes
The lion yawns and walks away
Above the earth, up in the skies
The angels sleep, but I'm awake

I see entire world in long perspective
It seems no bigger than a speck of sand
I count the stars, align the spheres
And I can make them turn at my command

I am the world, but the world is not I
I am the world, and the world's in my eye
I am the world, but the world is not I
I am the world
And then I stopped

I see empires fall, ambitions die
I see the comets jump into the sea
There's no more world around that I can find
There's no more world, there's only me

And I am the world, but the world is not I
I am the world, and the world's in my eye
I am the world, but the world is not I
I am the world
And then I stopped

Dwellers of the Deep

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

Insolubilia
by Ske

supported by 20 fans who also own “I Am The World”

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John
