lyrics
Waking up isn't easy
When you ain't got no reason
When there's no one to please
Your life feels so strange
Look at you in the mirror
Nothing is getting clearer
Living life with the fear that
Things stay the same
There ain't a lot to say,
Go through your whole damn day,
So many games you play,
What do they mean ?
WelI, I've got a lot of reasons
Gathered through many seasons
Some bad and some are pleasing
I just don't know
I dreamed it could be better
Something less to the letter
Maybe I best be getting on with the show
I've got a lot to say,
And if I had my way,
There's just one game I'd play,
All of my life
Well I'd run away with the circus of dreams
Lived half my life, still don't know what it means
Through a glass darkly we see
What is it we're meant to be...
Flies through the air with the greatest of ease
The daring young clown on the flying trapeze
His movement so graceful it makes you wonder
Is it for real or some spell we're under
Lived half our life still don't know what it means
Pack up our bags for the circus of dreams
I guess we'll see you around
Whenever we come to town
Or you can fly through the air with the greatest of
ease
If you run away with the circus of dreams
Fly through the air with the greatest of ease
Look at me fly...
When you ain't got no reason
When there's no one to please
Your life feels so strange
Look at you in the mirror
Nothing is getting clearer
Living life with the fear that
Things stay the same
There ain't a lot to say,
Go through your whole damn day,
So many games you play,
What do they mean ?
WelI, I've got a lot of reasons
Gathered through many seasons
Some bad and some are pleasing
I just don't know
I dreamed it could be better
Something less to the letter
Maybe I best be getting on with the show
I've got a lot to say,
And if I had my way,
There's just one game I'd play,
All of my life
Well I'd run away with the circus of dreams
Lived half my life, still don't know what it means
Through a glass darkly we see
What is it we're meant to be...
Flies through the air with the greatest of ease
The daring young clown on the flying trapeze
His movement so graceful it makes you wonder
Is it for real or some spell we're under
Lived half our life still don't know what it means
Pack up our bags for the circus of dreams
I guess we'll see you around
Whenever we come to town
Or you can fly through the air with the greatest of
ease
If you run away with the circus of dreams
Fly through the air with the greatest of ease
Look at me fly...

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

Out on the line
by The Blue HighwaysThe slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse.

Disheveled Cuss
by Disheveled CussBig, brawny, hooky songs with 20-ton riffs and choruses as sweet as candy make this one of the month’s strongest rock albums.
