Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
You know it's hard away from you
Travelling roads and passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Peace enfolds the still night air
Home again I look for you and find you there
Destination homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now I see
Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you

Why am I
Right back here where I started from… again?
Where my thoughts
Spin with uncertainty and fear… I’m lost
Sometimes I wonder
How it went so wrong
Trying to be strong
But darkness consumes me
Walking in circles
You run into yourself
No starting point, no end
Just endless returning
Here I go again
On a beach
I’m drawing circles in the sand… with you
Holding hands
The circles and my tears are swept… away
No corner to turn
Life is on repeat
I won’t admit defeat
It’s not over, not over
Walking in circles
You run into yourself
No starting point, no end
Just endless returning
Here I go again
(Instrumental break)
In the night
I find some peace encircled in… your arms
And I know
Your love will always be what sees… me through
Walking in circles
You run into yourself
No starting point, no end
Just endless returning
Here in our circle
You take me by the hand
And help me understand
We’re in this together
The circle is turning
What has gone, is gone
But we can see beyond
There’s comfort and healing
When I’m here with you
Why am I
Right back here where I started from

Way before the light
I’m waiting by the window
Who will be the first
The first to break the silence?
Who will it be?
Who will have their say?
The Robin or the Song Thrush
Heralding the day
The music starts
And fills my heart
Alone with the new day
It fills my heart
Behold the chorus
As old as time
As fresh as new life
Taking me back, driving me on
Taking the dawn by storm
The melodies rise
I lean out of the window
And if I could do it
I’d leave the sill and fly with you
My heart is there
I’m soaring above the world
These moments I’ll keep
This joy will not grow old
I step through the door
I join with you and soar
Alone with the new day
It fills my heart
Behold the chorus
As old as time
As fresh as new life
Taking me back, driving me on
Taking the dawn by storm
The Starlings, the Warblers and all
Knowing that life goes on for us all
The greatest time to be alive
The gift of living from the skies
Oh, alone with the new day
It fills my heart
Behold the chorus
As old as time
As fresh as new life
This nature’s joy
The gift from the skies
Wings take flight
Voices raised
Takes me back, drives me on
Forever glad within your song

How do you feel now?
Young and lonely in a strange land
Like heroes in fables and stories
The winds of March will bring winter’s end
She’s always smiling
When you see her day to day
But she’s been crying
while you looked the other way
She’s often hiding
To save you from the pain
that she’s been fighting
In the most mysterious way
She keeps the faith
The same humble religious way
And lights a candle
To a different god she prays
She closes her eyes
And let her soul drift away
Her heart is moved by
The same music we praise
How do you feel now?
Young and lonely in a strange land
Like heroes in fables and stories
The winds of March will bring winter’s end
How do you feel now?
How do you feel now?
Like heroes in fables and stories
Only you can bring winter’s end

Can we walk through these changes
And weather the storm
It’s out of our hands
Not part of a plan
It’s out of our control
And we don’t know what the future holds
We need to hold on tight With all of our might
Until the story is told
Keep your hope alive Keep your family strong
We can see this through We can Brave The Storm
Keep your hope alive...
Can we see through the headlines
And know truth from a lie
We need leaders to lead If we’re gonna succeed
And get out alive
And though we may feel anxiety
We can live through the fear
Together apart, joined at the heart
We’ll see through this year
It’s times like these when we all get to see All the different sides of humanity The ones who will care and those that will share And the ones who will show no sympathy
So here’s to the future when we all will be
Together again laughing with friends surrounded by family...

Love
What has love got to do with it?
It's got everything to do with it
It's a funny thing
And love
I would love to be through with it
But I can not tear away from it
It's a funny thing
Oh-woah-ooh-woah
Each and every day
I find reason to stay
To be close to you
I know even if I died
Our love would still survive
Cos it's true
When love waited for you to come
But you never came
Could only stand for so long
I gave up on the game
And love, I know that you're tired
And I'm tired too
Been working so hard on you
But we're not the same
Love, love, love, love
Sometimes love won't be true to it
Can be easier to lie to it
It's a funny thing
Uh-oh-ooh-woah
And love
I don't love this domestic shit
And I don't know why
I put up with it
Cos it's not funny anymore
No, no, no
Each and every night
We fight
But we both just lose
I know no matter what I say
You always turn away
Tell me what did I do?
I've been good to you
Lived my life for you
Always tried for you
Love waited for you to come
But you never came
Could only stand for so long
I gave up on the game
And love, I know that you're tired
And I'm tired too
Been working so hard on you
But we're not the same
No we're not the same
No we're not the same
Ain't no one to blame
We're just not the same
No, no, no
No, no, ooh
Love
What has love got to do with it?
It's got everything to do with it
It's a funny thing
And love
I would love to be through with it
But I can not tear away from it
It's a funny thing
No we're not the same
(Not the same, not the same, no, no, no)
No we're not the same
(Baby, who?)
Ain't no one to blame
We're just not the same
(Tell me what did I do?)
Love waited for you to come
But you never came
(But you never came, no, no)
Could only stand for so long
I gave up (I gave up)
I gave up (I gave up)
And love, I know that you're tired
And I'm tired too
Been working so hard on you
But we're not the same
No we're not the same
No we're not the same
No we're not the same
No we're not the same
(Not the same, not the same, no we're not the same)
No we're not the same, oh no
(Not the same, not the same, no we're not the same, no, no)
We're not the same, no, no
(Not the same, not the same, no we're not the same)
We're not the same
(Not the same, not the same)
Not the same, not the same, no we're not the same
Not the same, not the same, no we're not the same, no, no
Not the same, not the same, no we're not the same
Not the same, not the same
No we're not the same

Band of Rain - Larkspur

How the larkspur begins to grow
before the settled sediment can mend the yesteryear?
How the leaf and petal yet can sing
when wilting go the passers by who linger here?
How could the willow sigh, for me today?
How could you pause nothing at all?
Between my heart and all the grass beyond a garden wall
are better pastures trodden in pursuit of being promised more;
Between the lights are cast the trees I fell - so grow the days
In seeking out a question, I’ve cut the wood to line my grave.
I mapped the path I took here
but never marked my home in haste.
How the blackwood hymnal sets a tone,
so measured by significance to each and every tepid soul?
How the ground might swell with time’s repast,
soon reckoned to its starting form and by the grey stone marked.
How could the willow sigh, for me today?
How could you pause nothing at all?
Between the life I could’ve settled for, and the one chosen
am I caught and drawn, so quartered in decisions old?
Between the plots of unfamiliar forms, so do I walk
to see the bloom in full and question steps I took before.
I mapped the path I travelled by but never found a home at all.
Never, never
How could the willow sigh, for me today?
How could you pause nothing at all?

I feel your light
It's drawing near
I see your light
As you appear
And I know you can't stay
Through the night
So take your flight
I need the strength to be alone
I try to turn the darkness into light
So even if I can't escape out of the cold
I will choose life
So fly

Destination homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now I see
Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
Marking the space between the days

They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you

This is one of the best interpretations I've heard of Genesis music, Pete would have made an excellent replacement vocalist for the band itself, he has a lovely feel for the songs, and a perfect voice for the material

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
