(from the album 'Fairly Carefree', by Realisea
Lyrics by: Marjolein de Graeve/ Brian de Graeve
Malgré les Vagues
Is it lonely out there
all alone at sea?
Is the water still running
underneath the frozen waves?
I thought I heard you call my name
but lately you have been
a little hard to reach
Between the lies does he still
take you dancing in the street?
Rainy season will soon be on its way
Could it bridge the distance to here?
Between the lines you‘ll read
Apologies and grief (there’s grief)
Beneath the scars you’ll feel
These hands were meant to heal
Waking up from polemic dreams
to fanatic politicians
All babies are pandemic
Will they be our way out?
I have kept all your mails and art
your private inbox in my heart
We’re still naked and in jeopardy
We waltzed across these broken trees
But our backyards are disconnected now
Let’s hope that time will soon be on our side
As the coast is getting clear
Between the lines you‘ll read
Apologies and grief (I grieve)
Beneath the scars you’ll feel
These hands were meant to heal
were meant to heal
Malgré les orages
Your boat will stay afloat
Despite the scars you’ll feel
These hands can learn to heal

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS!

Fantastic melodic, symphonic and neo-prog. Wonderful and vibrant instrumentation, complex and yet accessible, and with thoughtful lyrical content. The title track is a stunner, but there is so much more light and shade David Edwards
