There is a song the cold wind sings
It seems to breathe a thousand things
We turn to go
Before the world grew sad and grey
Ever we sang, yet led astray
And now we know
For we have heard it whisper fell
A voice, a phantom flung from Hell
As we turn to go
Hopeless now but not undone
Hope is that to which we run
Hope calls from another place
Hope is found in your embrace
I lay here now beneath a stone
I lay here cold, yet not alone
A wolfish shape has come
He is the song the cold wind sings
As unto paupers so to kings
And thus he sings to me
I rise, but helpless as a child
He bears his fangs and lunges wild
For he is fearless
A torn and ragged man am I
Worn out and weary, left to die
I’ve come so far to fail
Hopeless now but not undone
Hope is that to which we run
Hope calls from another place
Hope is found in your embrace
I feared the trail had reached an end
I feared what waited round the bend
And though the dark ones crowded near
They were but shrouding something dear
Time had his cruel laugh and then
A curse, a wolf, the bane of men
Laid me low at last
And now the cold wind sings no more
In mist we sense the great unknown
Yet we can’t avoid the Truth, the doom we face
Where have you fled, my soul, my love?
I hear you call from up above
And are you waiting?
Before I closed my eyes to rest
I heard your call and I was blessed
There is a home, I heard you say
Where Time and Death will hold no sway
Hopeless now but not undone
Hope is that to which we run
Hope calls from another place
Hope is found in your embrace

Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music.
Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts. tonyauroristony58

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Avec la fin de mon adolescence et de ce fait la fin des années glorieuses du 'prog' jamais je n'aurai cru être de nouveau comblé par cette poésie, cette harmonie et cette musicalité qui sont la quintessence de BBT qui redonne au rock progressif ses lettres de noblesse...Merci Mellotronman

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.
Essential. Crinklechips
