Maximillian Cvetko This is the best thing to have ever been released on my birthday. Moral Straightjacket continue to be my favourite band, and a large part of the reason I started my own. Favorite track: Blood Orange.

Blue Wizards 02:24
I’m far afield No steel, no shield Fractured heart Machines to make it start I’m far from home Unearthing hidden tomes Afraid I’ll fail Cast adrift without a sail Let me lie in the shade Of Peter and Paul I sing an old song And it’s been so long Words won’t come to mind Strands I cannot bind If I can’t make it home These words I’ll send: “Let my song join, the one without end” Let me lie in the shade Of Peter and Paul I sing an old song And it’s been so long Words won’t come to mind Strength I cannot find If I can’t make it home These words I’ll send: “Let my song join, the one without end” Let me lie in the shade Of Peter and Paul

Evergreen 04:45
Evergreen You seem forever green Evergreen Grow old by elder streams Evergreen I'll die young it seems Evergreen I must be a fleeting dream Evergreen Not so forever green Evergreen Pine boxes filled with leaves The sun hardly ever sets on my empire of rest The sun hardly ever sets Evergreen You seem forever green Evergreen Grow old by elder streams Evergreen I'll die young it seems Evergreen I must be a fleeting dream The sun hardly ever sets on my empire of rest The sun hardly ever sets Evergreen

Blood Orange 04:14
If I were to strip the peel from the orange And soak up all of the blood If I were to rip the vine from the soil And bathe in all of the mud When all that could’ve been yearns to escape Just wait… If I were to tear all the figs from the trees And drown in a red summer flood If I were to burn down all the forests And suffocate as the smoke took my lungs When all that could’ve been yearns to escape Just wait, dream to wait again I’ll be your rainbow (When the curtain falls) I’ll be your rainbow (In a patient place) I’ll be your rainbow (When the clouds break) I’ll be your rainbow (When the heavens quake) I’ll be your rainbow When all that could’ve been yearns to escape Just wait, dream to wait again Dog chases tail Cuts a circle in patchy grass Avalanche falls Endlessly into crevasse Dog chases tail Cuts a circle in dying grass Avalanche falls Endlessly into crevasse I’ll be your rainbow (When the curtain falls) I’ll be your rainbow When all that could’ve been yearns to escape Just wait… (When the clouds break) I’ll be your rainbow (When the heavens quake) I’ll be your rainbow When all that could’ve been yearns to escape Just wait, dream to wait again

about

"And yet their labour was not all in vain; and though nowhere and in no work was their will and purpose wholly fulfilled... slowly nonetheless the Earth was fashioned and made firm."

J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Silmarillion"

“In death I'll be your rainbow
You will see me from time to time”

Into Another, “Laughing at Oblivion”
