lyrics

Pigeon Rain

The time has come to land somewhere and settle in
Not only flap my wings
From north to south, and from west to east
I flap my arms like wings
I’ll grow some roots into the earth, I will
But there is no land in sight
I’m just passing back and forth on the horizon

Thrown into the sky against our will
To fly unrelentingly
A race against our own death
Impossible to win
Blown away by winds impossible to ride
I follow the sun why am I faltering?
With your guidance will I drown
Blind will I find my own way?

Whales could keep me warm in the cold sea
But I’ll be dead before I reach
Its waves and join the other birds
I will drop dead into my grave
Mother, will your wounded water be healing?
With your guidance will I drown
Blind will I find my own way?

Find me Lord as I am falling
With a million birds in this pigeon rain

Guide me Mother as I am dying
I’d rather your waters be my grave

Hold me Lord as I am falling
Your branches are now too far out of reach

Guide me Mother as I am dying
Through a ray of hope I’ll fly and live

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

From the Wells
by Preterite

supported by 30 fans who also own “Pigeon Rain”

For the first couple of tracks, I was like “Hey, it sounds just like Menace Ruine, but without the Angelic Process-ish part”. Then I checked on the web and… it’s actually the same vocalist. No wonder it’s that good. Fans of Subrosa might want to check that out, even if it’s not *that* similar. Alice M.
