If you zoom out of it
it's close to an end
it just had started though
wow! this helps to transcend
but have you ever tried
to live a life on that scale
what's wrong my friend?
it seems you're getting pale…
Don't leave us now
stay with us
and if you go deep inside
don't miss the bus
A cactus on the window sill
pears on the tree
your lips taste salty now
we must be close to the sea
a queue in the supermarket
you know that song by heart
hangover headaches
while everything is falling apart
Don't fall asleep
stay awake
but if you go deep inside
come back, bring a cake

Another Life

There are other lives
to live through
There are other faces
that could host your smile
There are other places
where you could wake up
But I don't know how to
There are other times
they went by
There are other shoes
to walk a mile
There is newer news
to be heard
There are better rhymes
you could use
I don't know what it's all about
it just feels like I've been frozen out
I don't know what it's all about
it just feels like I've been boiled away
There's a lotta life
There's a lotta lies

Convict me if I float upstream
translate any given name
if you like to land on four
watch me how I cancel your
Ill informed tamed poetry
humdrum judgment bathroom key
succeed succeed until you're trapped
wake up and you'll know the gap
Describe, review, shift and pay
design your progress, greet and pay
your mood confirms to compensate
doubled has your chosen rate
Today isn't soup day
it is vinegar day
it's not cosy and warm
but sour and cold
yet there's something about it
it is vinegar day
Today isn't rose day
it is onion day
it's not flowery and sweet
but it makes you cry
yet there's something about it
it is onion day
Today is a unit
today isn't ours
today wants a spoonful
we count the endless hours

Bend this warm intention
and/end
tension
add time and ears
years
I walk up the escalator
is it me or a lacrimator?
water running down from both eyes
no borders in the blue skies
where the fuck is my translator?
I've been my worst imitator
what's left after all those lies?
well, feelings need no calculator no
Bend this warm intention
and/end
tension
add time and tears
years
Bend this warm intention
and/end
tension
add time and fears
years
I told you see you later
as you see it wasn't made up
I heard your voice in the crowds
there are no borders in the clouds
after all, what is your role?
I really hope there's more to this goal
there are no borders in the clouds
there are no islands in the crowds

A porous vessel
a study of loss
will it bring us somewhere?
The comfort of things
collecting heroes and kings
listening to a dead end track
The gears still don't mesh
and the smeared face mask melts
...stories of relationships
There's another planet
where mattresses live
their quiet lives
Never
been
able to cry
Their
pain
was so dry
Now
it changes
rivers
from their eyes
up to you
Touching that silky wall with my fingers
it's solely made out of wet paint
so I'm going through with my whole body
stepping into a blank room on the other side
it's empty, no contours
and I'm painting my footprints on the floor
with every step I make
towards the void
If you zoom in
there is no such thing
as a covering skin
(whatever it should contain)
Changing plans
cause time does not pass
it almost stands still
and there's will to change
In this room without air
there's a room full of fear
what should convince us to stay
A porous vessel
a study of loss
it will bring us somewhere

Anthem

There is no final form
that awaits us there
We change what changes us
we eat what creates us
There is no social norm
able to awake us
We change what changes us
we make what makes us
Let your heart be filled with sorrow
it's all fucked up
let's build a tomorrow
Let your heart be affected
thousand loose ends to be connected
Let your heart be filled with laughter
there might be some left within that disaster
Let your heart be affected
thousand loose ends to be connected
Staying with the trouble
or else it will be double

Lackluster

We're all confused
we're bruised and battered
left the frame
amused but shattered
and it all tastes better now
some tastes bitter though
There's no time to not reach out
instead of whisper
shout out loud
you cannot slip on that banana peel
when it's too late and things get real
It would be ignorant not delicate
to justify and estimate
it would be heartbreakingly average
to benefit and multiply
It all tastes better now
it all looks better now
it all smells better now
it all feels better now
but some sounds bitter though

Sidewalk

I'm on the sidewalk and cannot decide
what to do next and what is keeping me from
I've been walking here for what seems like hours
and I've finally found my feet
I'm in a deadlock, it feels a headlock
why are the microphones aiming at me
I've been walking here with what seems like shoes
that were holding my spirit in grasp
But there I found my love again
the night, the stars, the rain
it's where I've met my friends again
and found out they are all insane
I'm on the sidewalk and cannot decide
what to do next and what is keeping me from
You need to break down that wall to go through the door
no inside no outside no chain
There I found my love again
the day, the clouds, the birds
and then I met my friends again
full of funny words
I'm on the sidewalk and cannot decide
what to do next and what is keeping me from
Now I'm standing here, well it's a nonplace
and this sidewalk is ending right here

You smile as you perceive
the figures in the dust
with your patient tenderness
you look at me
and I trust
no need to be everything
I don't wanna climb the ladder, no
111 steps
111 words
111 days
to get nowhere
There's a line that was drawn
through the circle at dawn
but there is no such thing
like a sine wave in foam
and I roam and I roam
and I've been here before
in circles I go
as they grow and they grow
around, around, around

This music is profoundly moving and unsettling, in keeping with the background issues of Covid and likely impending ecological catastrophe. How do I explain this to my grandchildren when they are able to comprehend what is happening to our planet ? Markus has captured my concerns perfectly.

Marie Fjeltsted's latest art-pop creation is forward-thinking but accessible, intimate but luxuriously detailed.

Visceral electronic music that mixes dark analogue synths with dreamy ambient.

Canadian singer, cellist, and producer filters sobering reflections on grief through a buoyant, balmy dream-pop lens.

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes.
