DJ_LP_ViBE I really liked Gothtimist on its own but was blown away not only by the musicality on Ken's voice but the lyrics read on their own sound like poetry that would be appealing and grounded in any of the eras from the past 50 years. Add to that a laundry list of collaborators including the incomparable Jason Corbett of ACTORS and music producer extraordinare at JACKKNIFE SOUND. Other than that there is the lyrics, "I smoke another clove cigarette, and then I dream of tomorrow". Favorite track: Gothtimist.

about

Gothtimism is the title track off the upcoming album. It encapsulates the idea of the Sounds and Shadows website/group. The world of 2022 is a dark and trecherous place. In our most challenging moments we reach for our friends who band together to take us through these times. In this spirit, we have adding in contributions from important aspects of the modern darkscene to lift us to new heights. To give us hope, that a future can still rise above the fears we face.

lyrics

I watched the sun go down on my heart again.
A crushing weight on me.
I've been alone in this world for so many days.
It's all catching up to me.
Lost in my head and spinning round.
Pulling myself a part again.
All of these things I've said and done.
1000 wounds I'm bleeding from.
Hold me for just one moment.
Give me something to believe.
A Broken world of broken people.
Form a dark ring around me.

Chorus:
I lace my boots up tight, and then i dream of tomorrow.
I paint my eyes black as night, and then I dream of tomorrow.
I smoke another clove cigarette, and then I dream of tomorrow.
I picture all of my life's regrets, and then I dream of tomorrow.

It's getting hard for everyone to remember a world, that you can believe in.
I take on all the tears of everyone I know, a weight I feel but cannot see.
My eyes are streaked from morning cries.
I feel a song that strikes a chord.
Fall into me one more time.
I need to feel something more.

Chorus:
I put on a feather boa, and then I dream of tomorrow.
I think of all the things I've lost and then I dream of tomorrow.
I dye my hair black and red and, then I dream of tomorrow.
I write a poem about my pain, and then I dream of tomorrow.
I watch it all piling up, and then I dream of tomorrow.
I picture all the times messed up, and then I dream of tomorrow.
I lace my black boots tight, cause I'm going out to the club tonight.
My friends are there to hold me up, and that makes me dream of tomorrow.
