First single by The Distant North
Produced by Johnny Renshaw at Bandit Studios
lyrics
I've seen things you'll never see and felt things you will never feel.
Seen new worlds and faces, surreal and distant places.
All this burden placed on me and falsification of your ideals.
You say that I'm losing touch but I found a true meaning.
Disconnect myself from you and your perceived reality
You're right I've closed my heart but I've opened up my mind.
I've found love you'll never know, seen beauty beyond this world.
Your mind is shut and your heart is cold, your heart is cold.
There's more to this world than meets the eye,
there's more to this world if you keep an open mind.
Like floodlights in the fog,
paintings to the blind.
Hidden in the questions are the answers we never find,
never find, we'll never find.
All you are is the past, but the present is brighter than you can see.
You're right I've closed my heart but I've opened up my mind.
Paving my way through, emotions left behind.
The past is the past.
Departing thoughts fade away.
All I see, all I feel,
is a weight lifted.
All I see, illuminates around me.
All I see, this ardent clarity.

My forever favorite. Every minute, every second and every note are pure art. As soon as the scream came out, feels like SHOOTING ME IN THE HEART, I am overwhelmed and burst into tears. This is how my life sounds like after the diagnosis of bipolar disorder, just too emotional, and too incandescent. HANGOVER
Ten gorgeous compositions from Iceland’s Gísli Gunnarsson that ride the line between ambient & modern classical. Breathtaking. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
Beautiful, carefully constructed ambient reflection on decay and loss from Portland producer Graintable; each track has its own life cycle. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 23, 2019
The songs on “Asking/Bearing” feel like eavesdropping on a private conversation, gentle vocals matched with twinkling synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2017
