Find yourself
You are the source
Of all things bad and good
You’ve got to make it right
‘cos there’s no one else who could
The hardest thing
Is to straighten yourself
Before you try
To straighten out anyone else
You’ve got to, Find yourself
Before you look for any one else
You’ve got to, Find yourself
Before you really know anyone else
Don’t forget your life for another
However great their need
The best way to help your brother
Is to make sure you can see

Solomon’s Bridge
It’s in your eyes
The songs and in the stories
Told in this land
You’re out of place
You’re caught out in the open
No one holds you
No one told you
Here is where the old one lies.
(walk beside me
I have seen a way
It’s takes you to the other side
Talk of lovers
reaching covered ground
show their young a place to hide
deep inside,
the old one lies
gone again )
You’ll always be
The one that I will turn to
take this first oath
and we shall see
though times have changed the old ways
sung with new lines
voices so fine
still the song remains the same

Look away my friends
Take good heart
When the long night ends
Our journey starts
Gaia’s lands
And every sea
Go with open hand
Set her free
You can reach the skies
Save your soul
But tonight we run
As water flows
~
And I will hold you
All through the long night
And I will be there
Until the daylight
She fades away
And we will find you
To share their stories
True words are spoken
Promises broken
Again, again
Day after day
We’ll take her life just the same
Another hole in her heart
Until we break her apart
Forever
Black water flowing
There’ll be no growing
It’s cold and dark here
The end days draw near
So near so near
And in the morning
There’ll be no warning
The tribe will gather
And we will free her
Forever more
Day after day
We’ll take her life just the same
Another hole in her heart
Until we break her apart
It’s time to look in her eyes
There’ll be no more time to fly
It’s not a day like before
This time we’ll open the door
And Rise

A New Day

Lose the light when
You wait too long
Take this moment it’s all yours
Life moves slowly
and goes so fast
There’s no turning the time back to the past
In the morning , on a new day bring us light
She will cha-ase
this dark night away
I believe you
hold your tongue
Speak of nothing, no one
In your silence
hear the truth
There lie whispers of love, words of love
Stand and face the beauty of the day
New life, dawning
Here, the gift of time can never slip away ay
Conquer fear, release, release
tears to wash away the loss of years
Long gone, long gone
Waking from the dark, the light will always follow
Here for you
Silent Dancer
Stand and face the beauty of the day
new life, dawning
Here, the gift of time can never slip away ay
Conquer fear, release, release, release

When I hear you on the warm wind
I feel you everywhere
And the running water cools me
a song, a word, a prayer
Hold me now
carry me away across the water
Look around here
Show me all your colour green and gold
Endless ocean
Fill me with your life, your love and wonder
Take me onward
Watch the silent dancer whirl away
Turn the light on
call a new song
Say we’ll ride another day
Light and love strong
See the Orca
leap for joy to lift your soul eternal
touch the good earth
hear her as she sings the finest day
Turn the light on
call a new song
Say we’ll ride another day
Light and love strong
Long, Long
Away Away
say we’ll ride another day
say we’ll meet again
day light
bluebird
hold no
Fear
Day gone
long night
hold her
near
Turn the light on (say we’ll ride again)
call a new song (call the day longer)
Say we’ll ride another day
(so we light it up)
Light and love strong
Strong

Solstice UK
"If one band could lay claim to the label ‘prog’s best kept secret’ then Solstice would surely make the shortlist. And I’m speaking here from personal experience. When I put the first of these discs in my CD player my initial reaction was ‘where has this band been all my life’?" Geoff Feakes DPRP ... more

got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days.

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler
supported by 7 fans who also own “The Beginners Guide To Solstice”
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.

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.
