NORTH THE ECHOES, das Duo aus den beiden Fates Warning Mitgliedern Ray Alder und Jim Matheos, präsentiert die vierte Auskopplung aus ihrem gemeinsamen Debütalbum „Really Good Terrible Things“, begleitet von einem animierten Video.

Ray Alder über den Track:

„This is a strange one. Some people have a fear of happiness. They feel that something painful always follows pleasure. So they’re sort of locked into this world where they try to feel nothing. It’s called Cherophobia.“

Jim Matheos ergänzt:

“We both still love making music and we really enjoy working together. There’s a good amount of chemistry there, I think. We both know what to expect from each other.”

Lyrics:

Strange, how the sunlight feels on my skin
Like a hand that’s warm
And the day finds my with another drink in my hand
Shine on, shine on

Wait, now the clouds form the incoming storm
Guess I should have known
From the way that my thoughts had given way to a song
Hang on

Higher than any mountaintop
Lower than the deepest sea
I know sometimes it feels like
We’re walking around in circles endlessly

Breathe as the smoke from another cigarette
Swirls around my head
And I lean against the wall and contemplate going to bed
When will the rain stop?

Higher than any mountaintop
Lower than the deepest sea
I know sometimes it feels like
We’re walking around in circles endlessly
Mourning the death of memory
Silence is all I speak
I confess that’s a funeral
That I won’t attend consciously

The battle of self we face it all alone
With nobody’s help we save ourselves
There’s no throwing stones

Now the sunlight begins to creep in
I guess I’ll try again

Higher than any mountaintop
Lower than the deepest sea
I know sometimes it feels like
We’re walking around in circles endlessly
Mourning the death of memory
Silence is all I speak
I confess that’s a funeral
That I won’t attend consciously
