Unblocking boarded up windows, of what was probably once a grow house before we lived here… light pours into the basement, and I rediscovered David Sylvian today and met Amber Asylum in my wanderings as well.
Light pours into the basement, revealing half completed paintings, forgotten art
Light pours into the basement, spilling over photographs – a mythical past
Light pours into the basement, earth smells and silence
Light pours into the basement, stillness follows….
For Your Pleasure…
David Sylvian lyrics, music, images.
Enjoy.

Pollen Path
Welcome me father
On the north shores of Lapland
Welcome me father
Who knows no name
Welcome me mother
The earth here is yawning
My body is shaking
For want of a flame
Down here
Got to laugh
The kick back is lightening
Drowning
Got to laugh
This whole thing is frightening
I follow the pollen path
The pollen path
Welcome me father
The lava is rising
Welcome me mother
And give me your name
Weve drunk from this wellspring
Too long, too long
Dividing the hours
To measure the time
Weve lived with this heartache
Too long, too long
Numbering
Whats yours, whats mine
Weve harboured this sadness
So long
Nursing a voice
To sing us our songs
Raising a voice
To sing our songs

Darkest Dreaming
Stay tonight
Well watch the full moon rising
Hold on tight
The sky is breaking
I dont ever want to be alone
With all my darkest dreaming
Hold me close
The sky is breaking
I dont ever want to be alone
With all my darkest dreaming
Hold me close
The sky is breaking

God Man
Welcome to Sun State
The language of light
The energies impulse
The loud, dark, iron
The purpose of history
In Eurasian Steppes
From threshold to threshold
Astonishment
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
God Man
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
God Man
From different maps
Dead bees on a cake
Youre sweeping the forest
Man, its getting late
The milkweed is growing
Through cotton grass
You borrowed the car
But you didnt ask
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
God Man
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
God Man
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
God Man
And everythings dark
Then youre wrapped up
Born into brightness
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand

Brilliant Trees
When you come to me
Ill question myself again
Is this grip on life still my own ?
When every step I take
Leads me so far away
Every thought should bring me closer home
And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
Every plan Ive made s
Lost in the scheme of things
Within each lesson lies the price to learn
A reason to believe
Divorces itself from me
Every hope I hold lies in my arms
And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
