pictures of you are painted so clearly
old days, lost glories, shared moments I would never trade
I find myself looking back on those times
not wanting to say goodbye or end our history
and I’ll keep counting the clocks
just counting our time apart
and I’ll keep wishing
just wishing that separation didn’t have to hurt
I hope I can always hold onto those times
wake me, I miss everything
please wake me up, I want to remember everything
There is something purely authentic and honest about Infant Island's music. These songs are substantial in their impact that go deep under the surface. The sound mix is everywhere (track 3 on headphones?!?!) with some of the slower nuanced moments giving needed space for maximum effect when the violent intensity hits. But on career highlight "Awoken," they leave nothing behind. A must hear song from an increasingly important band. bcb723
