I know a boy who ached to touch the sky
All his life he tried to rise
And through the years he made a solemn vow
To reach the light and bring it down
Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high
Far up in the sky at night...
With string and dreams he sent his message high,
"If only I could likewise fly
I'd pass above the very stratosphere
Without a tear or care inside."
Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high
Far up in the sky at night
Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high
High up in the sky, goodnight
And the wind and the kite
In the moonlight he rides, he rides
[There he goes]
I know a boy who couldn't stand the ground
And always he was skyward bound
The saddest thing is he's up there now,
But all he says is he wants to come down
"I want to come down now"
Oh the kiteman fly, the kiteman fly
Far up in the sky at night
Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high
Way up in the sky...
Far up in the sky
And the wind and the kite
In the moonlight he rides, he rides
He cries,
"Please, I want to come down now
Please, mother, I want to come down now
Please, I want to come down now..."
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...

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

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
