lyrics

A CURSE OF MIRACLES

In the streets, yeah
I was drifting through the lanes
In the streets, baby
Everybody looked away
In the streets
I felt tension and afraid
In the back of my head
I feel terribly dead
Friday afternoon
Came a rustling from the room
I was strangely terrified
By the things I heard inside
Then a voice so strong and loud
Said, "It could be yours by now"
Saturday at 4
I snuck back to the corridor
And slipped into the room
Now I'm quiet as a tomb
And there written on the ground
In dust, "It should be yours by now"
And t's so strange
'Cuz in the back of my head
I still feel terribly dead
So just go away
Leave me chained to the wall
Just like you've done it before
Everyone knows that it's my regular show
Is my deliverance near?
I don't see it, I don't hear
Where's the trumpets blowing fire
And the angel-hosted choir?
I keep waiting for the sound
'Cuz it should be here by now
It should be here by now
But there's no change
In the back of my head
The monster wants to be fed
And I can't get away
'Cuz when you've done it before
What's it matter once more
Everyone knows that it's your regular show...
Once upon a time
In the blinking of an eye
The oracle was mine
Like the sage had prophesied
It was whispered through the clouds
Said, "It will be yours right now"

London Song

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Masterpiece of Crossover prog. It blends perfectly Chamber pop, Folk Rock, Neoclassical music and Progressive Rock. A flawless record pedro langer

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 33 fans who also own “A Curse of Miracles”

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. PartTimeZombie

Wrenching indiepop heavy on synths and stormy melodies make for an LP that feels profound in its vision. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2019

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
