about

Nez had a beautiful guitar piece.
I ran with it.

lyrics

FACE OF THE SUN

Twelve hours have come and gone
The night chased you into the west
The world and I wind down
Perchance to dream

Then you quietly rise in the east
Giving life to the skies as you shine through the trees
In the shade from the strength of you heat
And the children come out and they play and they run
And they smile in the face of the sun

Two thousand one years on
A shadow falls upon the west
The moon blocks out the sun
Or so it seems

Then you quietly rise in the east
Giving life to the skies as you shine through the trees
And the children come out and they play and they run
And smile in the face of the sun

Evening finds you way down the moon comes as you lay down again

Then you violently rise in the east
There’s a fire in the sky daisies cut through the trees
And the faithful are brought to their knees
And the children come out and they pray and they run
And fly in the face of the sun

Morning finds you on your way up
With blues skies and a gray dove
Hmmm..

Then you silently sink in the west
Putting us in the dark and our faith to the test
We long to believe we are blessed
And the children come out and they play and they run
And smile in the face of the sun
Smile in the face of the sun
In the face of the sun

COSMOLOGICA
by Circe Link and Christian Nesmith

supported by 18 fans who also own “Face of The Sun”

Prog-rock at its most beautiful. Link's singing is clear, lovely, energetic, and sometimes arranged in great auto-harmonies; Nesmith's arrangements are virtuosic but fluid and spacious, and respect a great prog riff. Like early Dream Theater with folk instead of metal? Sandy Denny's Fairport Convention going prog? Maybe... voxpoptart
