In a crowded room
You send me your thoughts
Finally we’re losing the plot
Been existing on fumes
And I start seeing spots
’Til you give me a shot
Don’t deprive me
And please don’t starve me
You don’t want to see me plucking words from thin air
When we’re arriving roll out the red babe
Here comes the moment when everyone stares
And it’s an entrance to end them all
For our love will elevate them
Our love will enthrall
Don’t worry about the steps
Stars are exploding
When we’re arm and arm
Baby we’re floating
We’re floating, floating
If I should die tonight
Say I lived the light
Still be flying your kite
Like the Hunter’s Moon
You taught me a lot
So preserve what you caught
Don’t deprive me
And please don’t starve me
You don’t want to see me licking paint off the walls
We’re arriving and it’s all decided
This is the moment when everyone knows
And it’s an entrance to end them all
For our truth will captivate them
It’s transcendental
Don’t say goodnight
This kiss is exploding
It’s almost midnight
And baby we’re floating
Baby we’re floating, floating
Baby we’re floating
In a crowded room
You send me your thoughts
Babe I almost forgot
So the years go by
And the minerals still cling
In this hot ancient spring
Like the strangest tune
That you sing in your sleep
When you’re lost in the deep

To The Lighthouse

I was frightened for some time
Foreign kingdoms surge sublime
Out of practice
Sleeping hearth
Distant sirens of primal birth
I’ve been sleeping in winter’s breast
A bluish cloud
A restless rest
But if you read my mind
Run fingers down my spine
Limbs that turn back time
You’d beg me
To the lighthouse
The beach is closed
In the night air we lost our clothes
Hello stranger
Close your eyes
I would know you even in disguise
We’ve been driving along the coast
Now we’re arriving at the last outpost
But when you read my mind
Run a finger down my spine
Limbs that stretch out time
You’d beg me

Transience Of Life
by Elysian Fields
supported by 55 fans who also own “Introducing... Parthenope”
This album, while inspired by the fictions of the 18th century Chinese novelist Cáo Xuêqín, also manages to offer a sorrowful grace for that terrifying year of 2020. Themes of fate, separation or sudden loss, death, ghosts, and the abuse of power recur. And what bitter consolation, that lovely final song and its refrain: "Those that see through the world/escape from the world." Another brilliant record.

Once Beautiful Twice Removed
by Elysian Fields
supported by 48 fans who also own “Introducing... Parthenope”
The world is mean, that I somehow hadn't discovered the music of Elysian Fields until 2023. The world is sweet, that I’ve finally discovered the music of Elysian Fields in 2023.

The magnificent Elysian Fields roughs up its sound in response to the horrific Trump years. And yet there's no lack of dreamy beauty, either, in yet another first-rate album. Plus, I love it when Oren breaks out the electric 12-string guitar.
