lyrics

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

about

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. ... more

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. Liam Smith

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. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
