Clouds float suspended in my nothing box
Six smooth sides reflecting endlessly out to infinity
Life is calm and so quiet here in my nothing box
The walls are thick and warm and they hold me in and shelter me
Nothing gets to me
Light can't escape and neither do my thoughts
They just bounce around
They don't make any sound
They sink down to the bottom of the sea
I never get lonely here in my nothing box
Though I sometimes feel there could be so much more then it just slips away
I drift out in the emptiness and I lose myself
Hearing my own breathing my own heartbeat race there's no way out and I don't care
No I don't care
There's no world out there...
Until I think of you
Then I know what I should do
But it's so hard to leave
But it can't work from inside
Thought I could leave when I wanted to
It all depends on you
When I close my eyes
That is when I see your face
I can see you speaking though the words fall away
Everything is fading now
Was it ever real
My memories of the outside
Wash away like rain
I reach out to you
Time has no meaning in my nothing box
I could stay forever as the world moves on
I don't eat
I don't sleep
I don't touch
I can't feel anything
Until I hear your voice and I come back to you
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
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)
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
