Steve Rosendale I bought the CD on recommendation from the Big Big Train passengers Facebook page and I am glad I did. The album is outstanding, top class musicianship throughout. Favourite track has to be the epic A Dictionary of Obscure Shadows. I look forward to hearing the next album.

barrett69 I love the album because of the sheer escapism you feel whilst listening, the artists involved seem to be influenced by all my favourite artists - Pink Floyd, Genesis, Camel and Morricone. Favorite track: A Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows.

althom1 Continues the journey began on Above All Else - there is something truly immersive about this music . The haunting keyboard and guitar work augmented by the violin and flute textures all come together and feel like the soundtrack to a dream .
In short , a wonderful successor to the first album. Can we have another one by the end of the month by any chance ? 😉 Favorite track: Echo & Narcissus.

Antillas 04:11
A violent glare of shimmering light And its beautiful slanting rays from the heights A drifting boat A careless laugh The dreams of a child The rocks are caught by the rays From this sky My pool blue freedom The colours are vivid A rainbow here Such peace is mine As I wait as the sun goes down Then sink the day in a sea of wine.

Rabbit Hole 02:53
Patiently I ponder The motive behind your lies A sudden need to question This illusion you expertly weave Lets take a trip to the far side Descend in a rabbit hole of deceit Don't flatter me with faint praise When behind my back you scowl Your eyes their making daggers There's a vacuum where empathy resides.

In the end it was never enough Whatever I do I did for you Oh I twist and turned Darkest days Razor blades But cutting deep My lack of sleep Another whim Grow a thicker skin Your claim to fame That you pour disdain And oh that stench in the air is your hate Just leave me be with whats left of my fractured soul

Longing for the days of childhood Plasticine and paint Make believe Buttoning my coat Put my shoes on Hold my mothers hand down the stairs... Now that boy has gone and frailty wont be long I try to catch a glimpse of what the future might conceal. Reveal Reveal Longing for the days of childhood Plasticine and paint Make believe.

Somehow I go on free falling Propelled by the fear The constant unknowing Anything you want I swear My heart can thaw Somehow we go on...free falling Anything you want I swear The promise I made.

about

This collection of songs were written during an intense 37 day period at the beginning of 2019. Sitting at the piano daily I had no idea where my fingers would lead me. My only intent was to write an album that flowed & had meaning for myself & hopefully others. Uncertainty for the future & and loss are themes which I believe we can all relate to. Over the following months additional parts were added and the songs eventually took the shape in which they are presented here. We would like to express our gratitude to David Anania & Eric Bouillette for their stunning contributions. A lot of love has gone into these recordings. We hope that shines through in every note. The title track is inspired by the urban dictionary of the same name by John Koenig
