27 Years

from No Measure by Ben & Alfie

supported by

marongue The most serene sorrow ever entangled in a melody whose delivery is both simple and of the depth of a forgotten, untouched well filled with dark water, with the lifeblood of emotions, in a forest frozen in an autumn afternoon.

Clarity Enmuse Came across this song via a trailer for the incredible game The Cat Lady. The music is beautiful and haunting.

lyrics

The colour today is grey
I see only black and white
Every day’s the same
Great tall trees that have no leaves
Silhouettes against a pale sky
That sheds no light

The colour today is grey
I can see a bleak horizon
Will it ever change?
Such an unforgiving landscape
Where silence paints an image
Of on ever-ringing bell

Again and again
I don’t even know what happened
Can I still be blamed?
Please God let a storm come down
At least something would tell me
Time was passing

The colour today is grey
Darkness keeps my innocence
And I can only age
If the locks were drawn
Release would only leave me as a child
Uncared for

Is my life a game?
Can I not compose my part?
No choice is mine to make
Colour me in shadows
For I no longer see the rainbow
And angels cannot reach me
