Darkness holds a promise,
A veiled face.
Expression and eyes shadowed,
Only a voice coo's in sweetly,
Lulling me to a hypnotic sleep.
I shall forget all caution,
Forget all prejudices;
Raising my arm I shall touch you gently,
And feel love pulsing in waves.
Not fearing the unknown,
And all the lessons my broken heart learnt,
I shall undo them in the blackest of these nights.
My fears, my joys,
My sorrows, my sin,
My virtue, my triumph,
My weakness, All laid bare at your feet,
All yours to savour and break at will.

Menomena
I cant remember when any recent band excited me so much and amazed me crazily. Menomena's craze started when a friend of mine shared a link of 'I say Fever' album Intuit by the band Ramona Falls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga0ohgZFVqc Discovering Brent Knopf's Ramona Falls (this being the individual project taken by Knopf) took me to Menomena. Check out the Ramona falls website - http://ramonafalls.com/.
Also worth a peek is this interview of Knopf - http://comeonchemicalsblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/interview-brent-knopf-of-menomenaramona.html.
The album art used for Ramona falls and its video is totally mystical, pagan something like the Aztec art. Check out the Theo Ellsworth website here - http://www.thoughtcloudfactory.com/, he being the creator of the Ramona falls album art. Really amazing work. Craig Thompson is another artist who has made the album art for Menomena's album Friend & Foe and Mines. Check out his site at http://www.dootdootgarden.com/
Sketch of the album art in 'Friend and Foe' by yours truly
The music of both these bands is so new.. the flow so unexpected and lyrics so refreshingly new , catering to my senses perfectly. I simply love the intelligent verses and what they convey. its just not some boring much abused topic of all songs - love. They have fished into the ocean of emotions. I would just say, this band is one filled with smart asses.

Desert dreams
In a calm desert I set my sails,
To feel the heat and the silent wind;
Least I knew the storm it brewed,
That threw my footing into its heart.
A vibrant desert jungle I am a witness to;
Life spewing out in mysterious leaps.
A tiny oasis that serves its crusaders far and wide,
The heat radiates in circles of exaltation.
I have known your soul ,
I have felt your passion,
I have seen your heart,
And it is mine!

The heat radiates in circles of exaltation.
I have known your soul ,
I have felt your passion,
I have seen your heart,
And it is mine!
