about

Recorded for the Motherland acoustic album but never made it to the record because I wasn't able to complete it to my satisfaction before the release deadline

Once I left the UK and went to live in Philadelphia, USA full time, I finished the track but had no reason to release it until now.

lyrics

Many wishes have been made
Many granted, many just mislaid
Only one wish joins us all
To greet the boatman and to think no more

Sew the paint on strange machines
Build a god to grant our wish

It's the Big Red Spark
Safe in the knowledge of The Big Red Spark
You know it

Walls go up and trillions pray
Many worlds are linked in hope/dispair
Diplomats have meetings planed
With the blueprints in their sweating hands

Gather all the dreams to die
The work that takes the countless years

It's the Big Red Spark
Safe in the knowledge of The Big Red Spark
Soon we're united in The Big Red Spark
Safe in the knowledge of The Big Red Spark
Hail to the coming of The Big Red

Is this the thing we planned?
Almost like drops of light
Transparent shards of will, reunite
Everywhere up and down
Built from our own design
We switched off the universe
We're still here

Who, who, who are you?

Pensive, brooding... melancholy, wistful... drifting, pulsing... otherworldly... extraordinary. The tangerine-coloured, dreamy genesis of pure beauty. favorite track: We Watched Whales ... or ... We Know Beauty, We Know Power ... for completely different reasons Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse)
