[Her:]
“soothing darkness cover me
winding in pain
sleepless nights are ravaging me
restless lunacy
leaving me and grieving you
an apprehension led astray
losing you; dementing me
forever triviality awaits
can’t sleep, can’t sleep
blazing daylight feeding on sorrow
(you’ll reap the harvest you have sown)
humble voices straining my senses
(you’ll reap the harvest you have sown)
beneath the blaring sun i lie awake waiting for you
lost every sense of deception
(you’ll reap the harvest you have sown)
my mind is blistering
o lord, your most fragile flower
facing her darkest hour
o, what a noble mind!
oh lord, never felt such sadness
ever-growing madness
thy love’s insane
weary, drained, obsessed
i’d put my healthy mind at rest
broken down, deranged
lying side by side estranged
leaving me and grieving you?
an apprehension led astray
losing you, dementing me
forever triviality awaits
reaving me, deceiving you
my comprehension fades away
losing you, dementing me
forever thy insanity awaits
blazing daylight feeding on sorrow
(you’ll reap the harvest you have sown)
humble voices straining my senses
(you’ll reap the harvest you have sown)
beneath the blaring sun i lie awake waiting for you
lost every sense of deception
(you’ll reap the harvest you have sown)
my mind is flickering
my mind is flickering
o lord, your most fragile flower
facing her darkest hour
o, what a noble mind!
oh lord, never felt such sadness
ever-growing madness
my love’s insane
my love, exiled by your madness
to overcome your sadness
overwhelmed by sleep
good night, I’ll lay down in madness
in the river's bed
as night and day collide
good night”
BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock

Avec la fin de mon adolescence et de ce fait la fin des années glorieuses du 'prog' jamais je n'aurai cru être de nouveau comblé par cette poésie, cette harmonie et cette musicalité qui sont la quintessence de BBT qui redonne au rock progressif ses lettres de noblesse...Merci Mellotronman
