The Tea Party - The Halcyon Days

One of my fave songs..Halcyon Days by The Tea Party taken from their album "Triptych" released in 1999. I added some fotos of my beloved city Istanbul...that song always carries me there!
Lyrics:
Alone, left here in dust
amidst my fears and doubts
life's shattered dreams I could have
done without
now chthonic life has set its sights on
making me a slave to its ways
i wait for return
until then my soul it burns
and it burns only for you...

i'll be with you soon...

night it falls on me endlessly
i search for you in this blindness
a prodigy of lust and loss
'till sleep comes down

i can't explain, but disdain remains
suome treason i can't reason
they left me here for dead my dear
barely breathing, but i'm still breathing

now i see a light
i figure it's shining from above
i think they've finally come
the halcyon days

and i'll be with you soon...

I'm crawling now up
towards the sound
of vengeance moving swiftly
i've conquered fear
i've shed my tears
now i'm seething, and i'm still breathing

and I'll be with you soon...

now i see a light
I think its shining from above
i think they've finally come
the halcyon days

halcyon is a drug and also a place of harmony,not sure which theyre singing about,which is part of their allure

[Crigito]

yeah but halcyon days in particular mean calm peaceful times. They are the calm almost summer days during winter...

OMFG! How the hell I'm only now discovering this band? Where have they been my whole life? And they broke up ages ago? Just my luck!

[Curtiswg]

Such an amazing song! I cant get enough of that sweet fuckn riff at the beginning!

Turkey looks like an amazing place to visit. I've been a fan of the Tea Party for 15 years, though I thought everything after Transmission really inferior... I've been to Egypt, but Turkey looks like something totally different. I hope I get the time and money to go there. The history, architecture, culture, seems off the charts amazing.

Can't wait to see Mr. Martin play again. truly underrated musician.

if you haven't had a chance to see his preformance, i strongly urge it. relatively small venu's very interactive. modern day Jim Morrison.
