neptuneontheroad The people in this band are awesome. My gf asked when they come to our country for a concert so that she could buy a bd present for me. They sent their entire collection for me! Thank you NCM for giving us the best songs of our time. Favorite track: In June.

Carsten Sean Singh The penultimate song, "No Man Is an Island" has got brilliant lyrics. This has got dreamy soul and I consider the album a masterpiece in the genre. Having left Greece for London, and under pressure from commercial music, I don't see them matching it. I'd love to see them expound upon themes from the penultimate song. would recommend it for a long summer's drive. Favorite track: No Man Is An Island.

In June 04:30
In June (Inspired by ''SALVATORES DEI'', Nikos Kazantzakis) // Hear it calling? Hear the voice? Someone’s shouting, through the noise It’s calling you to sing, For no one it’s asking you to hope, Of nothing Oh of nothing, to be free The mind will yield When the hearts will lead To gaze the sides of nothing with no fear We’re sweat and tears We’re mud and dreams The universe is swirling deep within
2.
Lulu 04:30
Lulu // Sunlight Close your eyes Feel the warm lasting trace Of your smile With grace With gentle ways light the dream Take the pain out of sight Sunrise Feel the hope freely flow And you will shine You will shine With grace Fall like a stone, breath the air There’s no time No time
3.
Big Thing 05:30
Big Thing // I’m by your side But you don’t own me girl Strange how you come around The minute you feel frail Yet I’m holding on Oh oh oh Cause when we sing along Oh oh oh I am all the light you’ll find Crawling in your night I take care of you But you won’t treat me right Can you feel me now In your heart? Will you stay along Or is it too much for you to bare? Raindrops falling round your tides of blue But you don’t, want to sing along, do you? Real love, even makes the sun change hue. Real love, even makes the sun change hue. And I hold on, just to sing along with you And I hold on, just to sing along with you Won’t you sing along with me?
4.
Saint John 05:39
Saint John // Swept by the sea Swept by the sea and I Don’t know my name I’m theirs to claim Salt burns the skin They started singing Sirens make me sway I fantasize You’re in the air I breath A sun in your stare I float in your hair Your heart stirs the waves The currents will shift and Place me in saint john Feels like sinking in serenity Drifting where your heart will have me drift I open up my arms to taste Your warm sweet and quiet embrace
5.
Silence We Create // Hard to look away Cause the slightest move would break The echo of your smile In the silence we create Linger in the dark Falling in and out of sight Silently we dive In what could be our only night Time will circle us around To feel the warmth of our embrace I slide by your side, and wait When all that we hold inside, will break We feel Real
6.
Starless Night // Starless night, I wonder when you will Throw your veil, around me What I’ll sing, moving closer Will I have seen? Seen you coming Trace your fears, and you will find What we’ve missed in our lives I don’t know where to find The whole in every little part What we see and all we taste All we sense and all we feel Every truth that comes our way Is only a leap away from here Turn your fears, and always find What we’ve missed in our lives Would you not dare to try The rose that blooms, a cloudy sky Now’s the time and I just know If we act, we could breath Let our lives, fill with light Before the veil covers our eyes Open up, I just know If we act, we could dream Follow light and watch it rise Before the veil covers our eyes.
7.
Sonnee 03:30
Sonnee // Can I keep my pace? Walking funny lines of past Do you ever hear me then? I will loose your trace Still the time is running out And I hope you understand
8.
Makena 06:52
Makena // Want to tell you so much but nothing comes through Strange how words get hollow when the body is moving Freedom of motion followed by freedom of mind In the end we don’t really have to try Where do we go, where do we go from here? Break this numbing silence with a big shout Chase a tiny rainbow and let it lead the way Rules and desires washed out and cleansed by the rain. Their great expectations will have to wait Where do we go, where do we go from here? All we need is finding a dream to follow A warm smile in the morning and a place in the sun Eyes that connect people emotions and minds Notions that bloom through the seasons come rain or come shine Where do we go, where do we go from here?
9.
No Man Is An Island // No man is an island but this is how I feel Season after season Year after year This how it goes This is how it’s been I’ve seen the nights you shimmer in the purple light of moon Seen you angry in the winter Peaceful, calm in June Heard you roaring, heard you whisper In and out of tune And I hold and I hold and I hold and I hold There’re so many secrets hiding deep inside I cannot cross the red line where our worlds collide Always there, I’m waiting the turning of the tide Moving closer in the fall, though I know there’ll be a rise But there’s a haunting whisper, a distance that won’t bend You surround me, you define me, I am fixed, you have no end Looking out at the horizon, where you curl and then move on and I hold and I hold and I hold and I hold You Stare right at the Sun And wonder why Why it’s so high You know, He’s the one, and I I don’t know where to hide
10.
Way Out 03:40
Way Out // You, Stare right at the Sun And wonder why It’s so high You know He’s the one And I don’t know Where to hide All I can hope Is to sing along with you A ll I can hope Is to sing along with you Follow you inside
