The Chalice/The Blade, by Sills & Smith from the album Echoes in Time

The chalice, the blade
Eternal battles
The blood of
Our ancestors
The ties
To the past…

Is The Mirror Reflecting You?, by Sills & Smith from the album Echoes in Time

“…Is the mirror
Reflecting you now?
Is the mirror
Reflecting you now?
Is the mirror
Reflecting you now?
Or is that merely
A sad distortion
Of who you once
Were?…” sillsandsmith.bandcamp.com/track/is-the...

Red sky

Slicing up
The clouds
Slicing up
The clouds…

Sills & Smith - End Times YouTube video by Sills & Smith

“….It’s all a bit too much
To bear
There’s screaming
We pretend
Not to hear

Better listen up and listen clear…” youtu.be/hJ8Qtg9eEy4

Sills & Smith - They Don't Come Knocking YouTube video by Sills & Smith

“…But they don't come
Knocking anymore
Thick dust in the yard
Cakes the old
Blue Ford

They don't come
Knocking anymore
Years of neglect
Peeled paint
Off the bright
Wooden door…” youtu.be/CqCrm3cGpAw

The Room Spins Around by Halcyon Phase YouTube video by Halcyon Phase

“…And the room spins around
Like a top
You never appreciate
What you’ve got
‘Til it’s gone
With a wisp of promise
A regretful longing
We crave this belonging…” youtu.be/hzn3hP8KN_E

Sills & Smith - The News (A film by Jacob Fergus) YouTube video by Sills & Smith

It twists and turns
In the wind
Cigarette burns
On the carpet
Upstairs
Can't be
Hidden along with
Your sins…

I moved my sofa closer to the window
Just to air on the side of cushion RS

Except most musicians are broke and can’t afford to buy their way to success. The Geese promo story is very unsettling. (Frank)

Constant Turmoil, by Halcyon Phase from the album Tendrils

When the violence
Comes you strap on
Your headphones to
Block out the chaos
That ensues all
Around you now…

The Future by Halcyon Phase YouTube video by Halcyon Phase

Feel the future
It's here
In the bracken
Off that pier

Soak in the silence
Won't last long
The chattering classes
Sound alarm…
youtu.be/rCA8-R-gn1g

infuriating indeed. I don’t get the appeal of Geese at all. Many more folks should be listening to Halcyon Phase and Sills & Smith, but we’re stuck on the fringes. (Frank)

What you deserve, by Sills & Smith from the album Etched

Souls in free fall
Object lessons
Lack of conscience

You get what you deserve
