Vaeth Hewitt Minimum percussion places emphasis on Emile's voice. This music has a wonderful West Coast-LA 67' vibe. Favorite track: Birds Fall.

Birds Fall 03:30
A man that we all loved is gone All that is left is his son Strange that only memories remain The rest slips away - I guess nothing’s here to stay So this is for you that still have to eat While you try to fill shoes bigger than your feet This is for those who are left behind To celebrate the passing of time Birds fall out of the sky No one can answer why And the hands on the clock Have slowed to a stop For you who have fallen out of time Leaving everything you loved behind I hope that all the weight is off your chest Wind takes the ashes, lays the fire to rest Birds fall out of the sky No one can answer why And the hands on the clock Have slowed to a stop Birds fall out of the sky No one can answer why And the hands on the clock Have slowed to a stop

The black spider over my bed is hanging low And I ain’t got no more, time to take it slow The black spider over my head is hanging low A dark reminder that I’m getting old The Black Spider, The Black Spider The Black Spider, Uh-huuuu The dark rider is back on the roads even though We still had our hopes, only weeks ago The dark rider will never pass you by You may be lucky, but we’ve got no place to hide The black spider in the back of my head has foretold That there ain’t no cure for getting old Since you left us, the winter’s been long and cold And I’m afraid what I’ll have when it’s my time to fold The Black Spider, The Black Spider The Black Spider, Uh-huuuu

Fly fly fly, high up in the sky Take the weight of the world off your shoulders No no no, I don’t like to see you go But the night is worn thin at sun rise Sleepless night Day is too bright To hide the dark in your eyes A sad thought creeps Into my sleep That you won’t be here in the morning Cry cry cry, you're afraid to say goodbye The sad songs were never about you Now you're on your own but from the tears you will have grown I sincerely hope that you'll be happy Sleepless night Day is too bright To hide the dark in your eyes Sad thoughts creep Into my sleep You won’t be here in the morning Truth lies As the new day arrives and our hopes are only borrowed Into the night traveling light The stars are left alone at sun rise

We have been inside for what seems forever and we forget that there is more Burdened by a heavy heart Waiting for our lives to start The world’s a small place in our eyes Too much sadness in these times Nothing’s hidden between the lines You grow old and then you die Everything else is just a waste of time The ghosts that lives down in that big old and worn house are also coming in from the summer rain Like an old friend, the memories they came and went and I’m glad to know that there is more Too much sadness in these times Nothing’s hidden between the lines You grow old and then you die Everything else is just a waste of time So walk across the floor and open up the door and step out into the universe
5.
On the days when life is upside down Remember that things can always turn around So if it feels like all your chances been spent Remember that good times always came and went So if you’re sad and look for a friend Just to realise that you’re alone again Friend listen to me, it’s not the end It’s not the end, it’s not the end It’s all up to you, what to do with the time that was given to you

Du har bragt mig i knibe Det var noget du sagde Henover en øl eller to Du siger jeg spilder tiden Du spilder tiden min ven Man kan sgu ikke redde verden Det skal du ikke gå og tro Du går og pynter på profilen Så man kan se at du har smag Ærlighed er blot en bagatel Jeg håber at det blir moderne igen en dag At se ud over sig selv Nu har jeg sovet en time Det er midt om natten Men jeg vågner uden ro Står op og taler med mig selv Måske er jeg for naiv Man kan sgu ikke redde verden Det er noget lort at gå og tro Du går og pynter på profilen Så man kan se at du har smag Ærlighed er blot en bagatel Jeg håber at det blir moderne igen en dag At se ud over sig selv

Hvad end der hænder må du love mig en ting Se dig aldrig tilbage og kig dig aldrig omkring Løb fra alle dine løfter Træk vejret helt ind Læg dig tilbage i græsset og nyd den sidste stribe solskin Verden går under i morgen Dommedagsprofeten har talt Der er intet (andet) vi kan gøre End at se det ske Bare se til og prøve ikke at le Dagene her er talte De kommer aldrig igen Så nyd det mens der varer Husk at få lidt kærlighed I krystalkuglens skær Har støvet lagt sig Fuglene er fløjet og taget deres håbefulde tristhed med Verden går under i morgen Dommedagsprofeten har talt Der er intet (andet) vi kan gøre End at se det ske Bare se til og prøve ikke at le

Der er langt fra træets top Hvis du selv skal kravle hele vejen ned og vi er kommet rigtig højt op Hvorfor faen var der ikke nogen som tænkte på at stoppe op Vrider den sidste dråbe ud af flasken Sjælen er har for længst forladt denne krop Men noget andet er flyttet ind Da det oprindelige indhold flyttede ud Virkeligheden er blevet utæt Indtrykkene strømmer ind En tryllefugl i træet Synger vrangens ret min vej Måske er det på tide at forlade denne jord Os som faldt ud af naturen og og hænger i en usynlig snor Det kollektive selvmord Eller kald det hvad du vil Hvordan gik det så galt At tanken om selvudslettelse Blev helt normal Det vanvittige sidespor Det gode trips onde bror Se det nu bare for hvad det er Det kollektive selvmord Virkeligheden er blevet utæt Indtrykkene strømmer ind En tryllefugl i træet Synger vrangens ret min vej Måske er det på tide at forlade denne jord Os som faldt ud af naturen og og hænger i en usynlig snor En tryllefugl i træet Synger vrangens ret min vej Men måske er det på tide at forlade denne jord forlade denne jord forlade denne jord forlade denne jord forlade denne jord

Undergangen 03:37
Træerne lukker lyset ind til den efterladte by Vejene ligger øde Og tæt tilgroede Himlen står i flammer Livet har fået nye rammer Moder natur tilpasser sig universet balancerer uden om dig Skoven har lukket sig som en vildtvoksende labyrint Havet har rejst sig som en ustoppelig gigant Du har set det på film at menneskeheden altid tilpasser sig Men vi har ingen rumkapsler eller undersøiske byer Ingen udsigt til sommer når den lange vinter kommer Vi har Voyager et sted derude som sender signaler tilbage til vores klode Længe efter den sidste modtagere er slukket Et ekko af en civilisation som nu har nået sin destination En søgen efter storhed som nu har nået sin konklusion

about

Melancholic and mysterious, but at the same time, strangely familiar. Combining surreal soundscapes with a distinct sixties style songwriting, Emile’s psychedelic loner folk debut comes together like a weird dream. A dream that shows a side of reality too strange to observe in any other way. Driven by acoustic guitar and haunting arrangements, the frontman of The Sonic Dawn presents a unique backdrop, on which songs about death, life, loss and fear of growing old melt together with a dystopian look into the near future of our civilisation.
