To My Dear (Rework)

When I woke up yesterday, my dear
Bleakly running through the tasks ahead
I wondered slowly with a mournful ear
I watched the sun up and returned to bed
To my dear
Whispering finer things
Since these here
Which are my favourite things
Happening
When they happen, happen
I know my love
When I woke up for the second time
And I was glad for I had slept a while
And I was grateful for the colour of your thread
Demanding that I should return to bed
To my dear
Whispering finer things
Since these here
Which are my favourite things
Happening
When they happen, happen
I know my love

All That Is You (Rework)

All that is you
All of the signs
All of the symbols conjured in a life
All that I keep
Under the shadow cast beneath a copper beech
All that I could
Do to remove the splinter from your wood
All in a dream
Flickering silently beneath a black screen
And amuse the jester
He’s not coming back
To accuse and pester
From a widening gap
All that is you
All of the hours
All of the suns that moved behind a cloud
All of the plans
All of the evenings taken with a diagram
All of the trips
All of the journeys joined up at the hip
All that I care
To hear your footsteps climbing up the stairs
And accuse the rebel
She’s not coming back
To assure your downfall
From a widening gap
And amuse the jester
He’s not coming back
To accuse and pester
From a widening gap
From a widening gap

Brother (Rework)

Bloodied in fight with the past and the pain
Never heard mother saying
Oh lord I should have tried
Watch for the words on the back of the page
The numbering upon your wage
Oh lord I should have seen that
When the day come for the bridges to burn
Throw another lesson learned
Upon a stack of cards
When the day come for the debt to be paid
We haste to step away
Oh lord we could have tried
Yeah, who lost our brother?
Yeah, who lost our brother?
Find, who lost our brother
Find, who lost our brother
Memory fades when it hurts to recall
But take me standing tall
To fall upon my chances
Memory preys when you’re sick with regret
Nobody here forgets
Oh lord we could have tried
Yeah, who lost our brother?
Yeah, who lost our brother?
Find, who lost our brother
Find, who lost our brother

Leave My Bones (Rework)
05:12

Heavens, Lord, when I haven’t felt the sunlight cross my brow
Hollow light, under gleaming halogen bulbs
They hooked me up, busting a gut to tamper with my fate
Shake your head, every time I wave a hand to pray
Leave my bones aside of me
Harder than a diamond
Settle up and sign me out
After you have heard me speak
Heavens, Lord, when I haven’t seen your shadows in the night
Shoes don’t shine, into the cold white static corridor
Hollow light, made to replace your twilight silhouette
Shake your head, every time my carcass makes a move
Leave my bones aside of me
Harder than a diamond
Settle up and sign me out
After you have heard me speak

Moving & enigmatic- can't get enough of this album! Alfa Mist covers a lot of sonic ground with Antiphon and poignantly hits home with the spoken word conversations throughout. Hugely dynamic with big bursts of percussive energy falling away to delicate keys throughout. Absolute winner.
