I am a big Moth Vellum fan.
It took me some time to recognize the beauty of Johannes Luley his solo album.
Once I stopped comparing the two I was enable to enjoy the beauty of this one.
This three piece is i.m.o. stunning.
Support music you love.

Overture - Bolero - All We can Be

Lyrics:

tell a tale so willingly
long forgotten, for all the world to see

turn the wheels and set us free
put in motion all that we can be

sha-y-alaa sha-y-lei sha-lalala la-y-aa-ah
sha-e-y-laa nghee-o-shaha-laha-lei
sha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-lei
sha-y-la-y-eh-y-laa

waking glory through the sound
dance and flow as we go round and round

standing tall on top of that mount
all so clear now that we're homeward bound

Doldrums

are we here yet?
i felt a growth spurt
the world is fleeting, no shelter
we are barely holding on
a nameless vessel
navigating this vast plain

all and nothing in an endless embrace
the first rays of spring
trying tot thaw our restless hearts
we can't give up now
we're so close, we're so close
