Do you remember thinking
as a wee young thing
of all the presents
that Santa might bring?
down the chimney
into your room
on a cold, dark night
In the land of gloom
Hurry up, hurry up
It's nearly time
put on that smile of yours
and make it shine.
its 12 o'clock
he'll soon be here
it's time to share
some of that Christmas cheer
Over the rooftops
and down by the shed
he's making his journey
right to your bed
Keep those eyes closed
when he enters the room
the sack is never empty
in the land of gloom
Did you never wonder what was going on
you just took the bate and sand the songs
they warmed your heart and spelled your doom
on a cold, dark night in the land of gloom
Do you remember thinking
as a wee young thing
of all the presents
that Santa might bring?
down the chimney
into your room
on a cold, dark night
In the land of gloom
Did you never wonder what was going on
you just took the bate and sand the songs
they warmed your heart and spelled your doom
on a cold, dark night in the land of gloom

Silent, Silent Night

Just a bag of broken bones
left to rest outside your door
maybe if you sift through them
you might find something more
A trinket or perhaps a gem
to cheer your dour day
but I beg you please, please look inside
don't just walk away
A Christmas eve, a broken heart
a loneliness profound
the fire that burned within these eyes
was lost and never found
It's all a silent memory
on a silent, silent night
and whilst some put up the Christmas tree
a few give up the fight
Just a bag of broken bones
left to rest outside your door
maybe if you sift through them
you might find something more
A trinket or perhaps a gem
to cheer your dour day
but I beg you please, please look inside
don't just walk away
I dreamed that you would find me
when my bones were stripped of flesh
for you can make me whole again
and my life can start afresh
So sing these carols with me now
and let me feel the joy
I want to touch the magic that
I felt when as a boy

Reason to Believe 2013

Could this be the moment
when it all becomes clear
will the doors begin to open
and the walls all disappear
are the years of not knowing
about to come to an end
will we smile and together
watch the frayed edges mend
Can there be hope for us
Can there be peace for us
Can we have a reason to believe
As winter descends and darkness prevails
will this be the season
all arrogance fails
will our dreams stoke the fires
while our love drives us on
will a new understanding
prove the ignorant wrong
Can there be hope for us
Can there be peace for us
Can we have a reason to believe
Could this be the moment
when it all becomes clear
will the doors begin to open
and the walls all disappear
are the years of not knowing
about to come to an end
shall we smile and together
watch the frayed edges mend
Can there be hope for us
Can there be peace for us
Can we have a reason to believe
Can there be hope for us
Can there be peace for us
Can we have a reason to believe

Someday soon
I'm gonna see you again
when all this life is washed away
I'll see you again
I'll hold you
and I'll never let you go
Every once in a while
I go and stand where we met
there's nothing there now
but I won't let it forget
I won't ever let
that image of you go
Just let it snow
Snow upon my eyes
Snow upon the ground
snow until I'm covered up
and cannot hear a sound
Just a snowman
Hoping to be found
It's cold within my heart
Cold inside my head
there's nothing more to say
it's already all been said
Just a snowman
with no tears left to shed
The skies were bright
when I knew you then
but I don't think
I'll ever see the sun again
The moon wont shine
and the stars will never glow
I remember our dreams
I recall every smile
all the places that we walked
well I relive every mile
I wanna forget
but my heart just won't let go
Just let it snow
Snow upon my eyes
Snow upon the ground
snow until I'm covered up
and cannot hear a sound
Just a snowman
Hoping to be found
It's cold within my heart
Cold inside my head
there's nothing more to say
it's already all been said
Just a snowman
with no tears left to shed

Mike Kershaw Wakefield, UK
My music is for the most part atmospheric progressive rock but I leave myself free to drift in any musical direction I
choose within the structure of an album.
The songs explore a range of emotions but have a melancholy core whilst still remaining powerful and lyrically interesting.

Talented songwriter firing on all cylinders. Beautifully constructed album. Exciting narrative songs. Gives me that same melancholy feeling that Alice in Chains and Opeth manage but no one seems to be able to convey.

A great follow-up to Shineback's debut album, showing mastermind Simon Godfrey once again stretching genre boundaries, and traveling away from well-known "Tinyfish" ground.
