Nach den Aufnahmen zu ihrer aktuellen Scheibe „A Thousand Little Deaths“ haben die niederländischen Symphonic/Gothic Metaller BLACKBRIAR keine kreative Pause eingelegt, sondern einfach weiter an neuen Songs gearbeitet. Das Ergebnis wird im späten Frühjahr als die neue „Our Long Cursed Sleep“ EP zu hören sein. Als ersten Eindruck gibt es heute den Titel `A Thousand Anemones´ zu hören, zu dem um 19:00 Uhr auch noch das entsprechende Video online geht.
Die Band über das neue Stück:
„This song is inspired by Victorian post-mortem photography and the anemone, a flower that symbolizes forsaken love, said to have grown from the tears of Aphrodite and the blood of Adonis.“

Lyrics:
Can we make one last keepsake?
A post-mortem portrait of us to keep me sane?
I will arrange us upright
To make us more lifelike
I’ll paint our eyes on our eyelids
As if we weren’t asleep
I’ll fold the picture until it fits
Inside a locket, ‚cause I’m weak
I don’t need something to remember you by
But I’m having trouble saying goodbye
It’s quite insurmountable, honestly
So before you go, can you promise me
That I can paint eyes on our eyelids
As if we didn’t die
I’ll fold the picture until it fits
Inside a locket, forever mine
And I’ll cry you a thousand anemones
Pluck a bouquet of my dreadful memories
For you to decorate your windowsill
To remember me by, if you will
Can we make one last memorial of us?
A post-mortem portrait of forsaken love
Secure the shadow ere the substance fades
To ease the tiniest bit of pain
And I’ll cry you a thousand anemones
Pluck a bouquet of my dreadful memories
For you to decorate your windowsill
To remember me by, if you will
I’ll cry you a thousand anemones
Pluck a bouquet of my dreadful memories
For you to decorate your windowsill
To remember me by, if you will
I’ll cry you a thousand anemones
You will haunt all of my memories
Lalala lalalala, lalala lalala lalalala, lalala lalala lalalala
Lalala lalalala, lalala lalala lalalala
Lalala lalalala, lalala lalala lalalala, lalala lalala lalalala
Anemones, my memories
Lalala lalala lalalala, lalala lalala lalalala
