Sleeping At Last - Clockwork

There is glass between our touch,
Phantom limbs of former love...
And the truth is that I am so terrified

That the callous is deeper
Than the surface of our skin.
And it takes us twice as long,
It takes twice as long to heal.

We'll lift up the ground to see
The system of roots beneath.
Gears turn, endlessly,
To bring the world back to life
Like clockwork, when it dies.

The cadence of beating hearts,
The clock of its moving parts
Grows louder and louder
From this restless earth...

Future gardens wait patiently below
And somehow we smell them blossom
Through the snow.

Still unsatisfied,
We chase what we're denied.
As generations wait,
We can't resist the taste of possibility.
Gears turn, endlessly,
To bring us back to life again.
Like clockwork, we begin

Why hasn't Sleeping At Last won a world record for "most underrated music in human history"?

Real music isn't cool these days I suppose.

[skyrlopez]

sounds like an old disney musical... great music, can't believe they are releasing it for free! lol but i tip'd them a few cuz they deserved it :)

[aekbranding]

There's something very Disney fantastical about the SAL's musice and this "Ryan" - his voice is like a miracle, like heaven.

[eennymo]

what excellent lyrics! I can really relate to them.

[Tiffano00]

the ryan's voice could end the war for ever and ever...

[Monia00007]

Piękna ;*

[madalinabiank]

wonderful album every single piece is amazing and surprises

[ChocolateLemonss]

@xkeethx because if they were to win that, they'd become mainstream, which is not good

[livenluvdabeach30]

woww .love<3  gonna check out the piano version too!

[Italygirl125]

sorry, the piano version is waaaaay better.

[staticdistort]

The piano version without all the "Disney" instrumentation is 1000x better. Not that this version isn't ridiculously impressive...

[sepiasummer]

well i don't really know what to say that will give this justice. its just beauteous.

[izzleinatizzle]

@xkeethx unless you're a hipster

[xoxnorastarxox3]

i love this song. it's so weird and it took a few listens, but i love it. sleeping at last is a great band, check them out if you haven't already

[shorecallssea]

@skyrlopez Van Dyke Parks arranged it and he arranged for Disney a while back, so there's a good reason! (I know he at least did stuff for the Jungle Book).

[loukreu]

This is music :)

[holamellamogarfield]
