Pride and Fall--Paragon: https://youtu.be/m9EeY4994MY

Perfect Proyas song, imo.
Faith is the truth of passion. Since no passion is more true than another, faith is the truth of nothing.

I dedicate this song to Kellhus.

Deathspell Omega - Wings of Predation
Quote
It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
Take heed therefore unto yourselves
Wherefore hidest thou thy face
In such a vain move of treason?
Rest assured
No veil in this autumnal world could conceal (neither protect)
from the shadows of the deathless Sun
The worm is spread under thee
I keep seeing similarities to Eärwa in their lyrics... This section could for example refer to the Nonmen's attempt at Elision.

Curator of Butterflies, by Big Big Train https://g.co/kgs/vfC4MS

Simply one of the saddest, yet most beautiful songs I've heard. This goes out to Koringhus, and to all those yearning for......
"The heart of any other, because it has a will, would remain forever mysterious."

Have been having the line "Ghouls, attack the church!" stuck in my head for a week or something.

I've been obsessed with this album for a while now. Apparently it's too obscure to get uploaded to pirate blogs so I had to order it off amazon.co.jp across half the world.

The guitarist is a genius at writing catchy lines.  Always get a hard-on at the solo-ish part at 2:17 and the "climax" at 4:04

Yesterday, I listened to a lot of music from the British folk-prog group Renaissance. The group had a rabidly fanatic cult following on the East Coast back in the 1970s, and Renaissance recorded a classic live album from their performances (3 nights) at Carnegie Hall. The group featured an amazing singer, Annie Haslam, who has an unequaled talent for bringing out the emotion of a lyric. One of their signature tracks is "Mother Russia", which is loosely based on the career of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. So.....picture yourself as an idealistic young man or woman in the 1970s and early 1980s living in NYC or maybe even a cosmopolitan section of St. Louis that was in those days known as a haven for resettled Russian Jews. You like classical music, but you're wild for this new thing happening....this progressive-rock sound. Then....you hear this band, Renaissance, and this song, "Mother Russia". There's this Romantic orchestral arrangement that segues into an acoustic guitar-driven song with plaintive lyrics:

Red blood, white snow;
He knows frozen rivers won't flow.
So cold, so true;
Mother Russia, he cries for you.

Amazingly moving. The crowd at Carnegie Hall went insane with rapture. It still chokes up that idealistic young man from St. Louis.

(I should have posted this over in BFK's Music Corner. Honestly, I didn't intend to get this deep....)

Been having the riff at 2:19 of this song (Grand Belial's Key - On a Mule Rides the Swindler) playing in my head for a while now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRlFdgJKg24&t=2m19s&bpctr=1531735197

"Spectral Mornings", by Steve Hackett.

This version was recorded in 2015 with vocals by Christina Booth (from Magenta) and Big Big Train's Dave Longdon (who also provided the lyrics to what was originally an instrumental melody).

Simply beautiful. Here's the original version from 1979:

And, for good measure, here's a recent live recording from Steve Hackett:

https://youtu.be/iQdEgYWcqbs

A person of reasonably modern taste (but perhaps not quite up-to-date) could listen to Big Big Train and Steve Hackett,  both of whom are touring and recording very steadily these days, with very great pleasure, imho.
