the band, didn't think anyone would know. peter hammill is cool. Some claim that he started the whole emo thing way back in the late 60s but I think his music kicks the ass of any emo stuff. plus it is more intense and complex (though appleseed cast has a few good/complex albums).
heh, circa 1969 'Alone, alone' the ghosts all call, pinpoint me in the light. The only life I feel at all is the presence of the night. Would you cry if I died? Would you catch the final words of mine? Would you catch my words? I know that there's no time I know that there's no rhyme... false signs find me I don't want to hate, I just want to grow; why can't I let me live and be free? but I die very slowly alone. I know more ways, I am so afraid, myself won't let me just be myself and so I am completely alone... The maelstrom of my memory is a vampire and it feeds on me now, staggering madly, over the brink I fall. 'Unreal, unreal' ghost helmsmen scream and fall in through the sky, not breaking through my seagull shrieks... no breaks until I die: the spectres scratch on window-slits - hollowed faces and mindless grins only intent on destroying what they've lost. I crawl the wall till steepness ends in the vertical fall; my pain has sailed into the sea: no joking hopes at dawn. White bone shine in the iron-jaw mask lost mastheads pierce the freezing dark and parallel my isolated tower... no paraffin for the flame no harbour left to gain.
yah I was just listening to man-erg than A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers and now Pilgrims from 'Still life'
