lyrics

Final calls and winding halls
I run as time is running out
Am I the only one?
Is everybody gone?

Took too long, turned out all wrong
Cannot get off the roundabout
Am I the only one?
Alone, impelled to carry on

Stranger in a fragile state
Apparitions floating by, I wonder why
They gaze through me so callously, unwanted, unknown
Looking past the shuttered gate
Wonder if the rest got through, and if they knew
That I was left behind without a way to get home
Try to keep the panic at bay
Focus on survival, tuck the darkness away
But I see, my missteps are haunting me
Recall the footfalls that led to this place
Leaving no trace
I’m cast adrift in foreign spaces
Dreaming of familiar faces

Final calls and winding halls
I run as time is running out
Am I the only one?
Is everybody gone?

Took too long, turned out all wrong
Cannot get off the roundabout
Am I the only one?
Alone, impelled to carry on

supported by 30 fans who also own “Time Is Running Out”

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

Dwellers of the Deep

supported by 28 fans who also own “Time Is Running Out”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie
