Like a Dancer EP

meeko Some elegant guitar work combined with heartfelt vocals make this EP one of the many hidden gems of Bandcamp. I stumbled upon this album a few years ago, and felt I should finally write some words about it. This album gives me the sensation of fondly recalling the memories of someone I was once in love with. Nobody specific, but more like a specter, a phantom-lover. Like someone I once dreamt of falling in love with, but who exists only in the wisps of my subconscious... Favorite track: When Winter Ends.

I wish I was something you would never forget but I just gotta tell you I'm like everybody else you painted me white like a saint on the rise but I stayed in my place Every road led to nowhere, every field's left with no green every wind told me something I would never want to hear and there is darkness up above me through these trees I feel this rain a-coming I'm alone, I won't belong in any place you could call home There's no halo behind my face and there's no air beneath my feet I can feel your pain and if you cut me I can bleed you listen to my words as you could not understand but they didn't make sense Every road led to nowhere, every eye could see the scene every man and every woman, every plant and every tree they could all see right inside me through my eyes I see this rain a-falling now you know, you can be sure there ain't no place I can call home But for the little while I'll be here I'd love to feel you near for the little while I'll be here I've got to lend an ear cos if you can believe you'll see the snow that starts to burn for the little while you'd led me home

Well there is something about how you're walking how you're jumping the street like a dancer how you're breaking the silence with a laughter how you feel like you're already old And there is something about how you're smoking how you're always reaching for the sun to warm up your cheeks and your smile to hold up this light in your arms And I wish I could say to you all these things that I have in my mind while the illusion of do it one day makes me feel like this time is worthwhile And there is something 'bout walking around you and talking with my voice down so low and I know that you're not a traitor maybe I'm just turning into one 'Cause I keep on writing about you about all that's happened around and about the morning after I'm lost but tonight I am found 'Cause I keep on writing about you about all that's happened around and you are my morning after I'm lost but tonight I am found I was lost but tonight I am found I'm lost but tonight I am found

Empty House 04:41
In this empty house we'll find some rescue from all the dangers that youth hides In this forgotten place we ended up we'll light our eyes watching these kids running wild and sometimes it's hard to just stay awake when you just walk all the day away sometimes it's easy to see you crying cos I can't even melt my heart tonight well, the strongest winds might never even find you as you're hiding your secrets in the sand and as I'm sailing through the seas of desire you're moving me with nothing but your hands we can try to dry out all the water and make a living out of nothing but plans and if you're feeling all this weight on your shoulders it's not late to start it over again this empty house, these broken years those crying laughters, those melting tears my empty eyes, your hollow dreams that I destroyed with all of my fears Sometimes it's hard to just run away when it's your heart begging for words and preys and sometimes it's easy to leave them hiding cos I can't even melt my heart tonight Birds are singing, 4 a.m. in the morning I can hear them through the ear that you lend trying to sleep though we're not even tired I believe that this might be the end but you'll have memories to fill your days as you're growing old by yourself and you know that you can always find me in the desert with all your secrets my empty heart, my thoughtful lies your hopeful darkness, these shining lights if you'll find your shelter right after the storm will you make room for us till the day we'll be gone? will you make room for us till the day we'll be gone?

I'm not the one breaking the silence I'm not the one pulling the strings I will be different in the shadow I'll keep your smile inside of me and you'll cut the ropes "the curses that she sends" but we'll meet again when winter ends maybe we're counting down the seconds dividing our hopes and dreams and you wish that it would matter but you know it won't mean a thing and we'll climb the trees just like when we were friends but we'll fall out again when winter ends when winter ends
