Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I like this "AOR ballad" definitely much better than the preceding "prog" experiments. Hopefully, there will be much more in this vein! Great work. The download contains three bonus tracks - go for it! Favorite track: Dendroid Hands.

	1.	Dendroid Hands 04:17	lyrics
	Keeping calm amidst Familiar strangers Knowing I don't belong Everything I touch is Destined to splinter Better not stay too long Outstretching my arms But my chances are fading Can't uphold life's demands Love without pain is Always unlikely Joined to my dendroid hands I am more than they see in me But I need to be set free If they’d only lend ears to me Maybe I will awake from inside Beginning to feel my Thoughts are unwelcome Sorry I cause distress Their seasons of life Advancing without me Tie and a proper white dress This room’s a deafening Societal racket I’ll find my own way out My sense of humour is largely redundant My words are soaked in doubt I am more than they’ll ever see But they’re growing too fast for me If they’d only slow down for me Maybe I won’t be cast aside Cast to the fire.. Sometimes I lift and Throw myself out there "Circle 'round one and all" I fall through the sky when I Quickly discover they're already bought and sold I know if I stop and show How I'm feeling I'll only take 3 steps back Nobody wants a man Who can't handle A life not all dressed in black I thought I was more than they see But their candles illuminate me And there's a hole where my faith should be

about

My third song, and the first with a full band! For this short "AOR" ballad, I have aimed for restraint, and thoughtful arrangement.

My inspirations for this track include Dream Theater, Enchant, Pink Floyd, Subsignal, Dire Straits, and Toto.

Enjoy!
