The love that hides
From tired and defensive eyes
Under dust of "everyday" and "no surprise"
Still binds the hearts of those who may have grown apart
Dwell in shells of chances lost to passion's cost
Now bound by need
To keep the peace and shield from strife
Singing songs of silence for a quite life
The comforts cold
And laid upon a bed of stone
Still, it gives some shelter
It is still a home
But it brings you down, remember now
How good it felt, to share yourself
Lying unafraid in the embrace of love's gaze
There was a dream
But sadly now it's what has been
Keenly felt sensations soon become routine
And second- guessed
A mystery so long undressed
Nests in skins of habit
Like a grape long pressed
But it brings you down, remember now
How good it felt, to share yourself
Lying unafraid in the embrace of love's gaze
This is a quite outstanding opus magnus of Mr Thelen and his associate musicians. Musical and muscular prowess meet groove and melody. Highly recommended hypnotic stuff! Frank Hadlich
With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020
