The Prodigal Son of a childless man
Came from Heaven
Looked around
There was work to be done
He's been through hell just like everyone
Just a station, passing by
Nothing to write home about
He said:
"The road is long but I'm keeping on
There is no destination
Only YOU
Not much of a choice
The road is long but I'm keeping on
There is no destination
Only YOU
I'll meet you transformed"
Every boulder blocking your path
The mistakes which you never paid back
Unredeemable
But they too shall pass
The Prodigal Son of a childless man
Came from Heaven
Worked around
Now it aint so bad
"Feed me one more star and I will transform
Feed me one more star, I'll meet you transformed"

SWEET FIELDS OF AMNESTY
In the middle of your godless rage
In the heart of your quest for space
There's a calm
coming over you
In the bedrooms you can not erase
In the identity that gets in your way
There's a calm
coming over you
Sweet Fields of Amnesty
Come sweep all over me
And take us back to where it all began
To the falcon
and the unfinished song
'Cos we are both
In your religious scorn of the rest
Your inquisitions on the absence of Grace
There's a calm
coming over you
In the burnings of the idols of age
And the altars to commands you erect
There's a calm
coming over you
Sweet Fields of Amnesty
Come sweep all over me
And take us back to where it all began
To the falcon
and the unfinished song
'Cos we are both
You and I
We are both

I was looking for meaning
I was looking for song
Not aware of the customs,
I was changing the law
I was bent on a moment
Then the moment was gone
In a land of illusion
We were bound to rise and fall
I don't know if you saved me
But you sure made me whole
Hold on
We've danced through the summer all night long
In a landscape of our own
Time knows
We can wake up in time for brand new song

Who's gonna carry this devotion?
Who'll end up crying?
Who's gonna carry this devotion?
Who'll end up gone?
Time took a river as a nest
Time took the space upon your head
Who's gonna carry this devotion?
Who'll end up there?
If on the path upon you waver,
I'm here, just call me
If on the path upon you waver,
I'm by your side
Many the challenges we faced
Many the harships; we'll prevail
If on the path upon you waver,
I will be there
Time took a river
Time took a nest
Who's gonna carry?
Who will be there?

Well they tied me to my fate
They told me to rejoice
when the enemy was dead
The laws are different now
The laws change whenever you're around
And they took our love in vain
Yet the very way you are
compels me to recheck that claim
The laws are different now
The laws change whenever you're around
If I could just one moment
see kindness through your eyes
You are the person closest on Earth
to Jesus Christ
The laws are different now
The laws are ours to make
when you're around

Chair No. 12
by Corduroy Institute
Instrumental affair from this shadowy outfit that has all the benefits of an institution without the potential pitfalls

It's very humble to call this "sketches" - if the objective is to convey mood and emotion, this is as complete as can be.

“An homage to the arpeggio,” the tracks on “Kojjio” layer irresistible hooks across sprightly blips of synth.

Ambient artist charaxes creates the soundscape of an alien forest, with gentle melodies fading into environmental textures.

The debut album from Big Window is intensely textural ambient that feels like it's in constant organic motion.
