about

Esperanza cuenta la historia de un enamoramiento basado en el ciclo temporal de las estaciones - desde el frío seco del otoño hasta el florecimiento total del verano. Es la canción en este disco que más se distingue por el formato “dueto” entre los cantantes del grupo, David Ernsberger y Sally Fazakerley. Musicalmente, la canción pretende ser la Bohemian Rhapsody del grupo, creando un sonido expansivo que se desarrolla durante los más que cinco minutos de su trayecto.

lyrics

Winter winds blow all the way
Frost unfurled, birds unburdened only yesterday
Eyes like the shape, fat on the feast
Subtle minds betray a wayward glance

January’s freeze brings thawing spring
Bending bows drip to roots burgeoning
Blossom in hand doubles worth
Display a dipole dance

Esperanza
Any longer
I waited til I couldn’t hold
Any longer
And my fear and my fear and my fear
Gathered cold
Now the ferns unwhirl
As fingers curl

Rays run in veins on longer days
Blushing cheeks and softer backs
Rise to an embrace
Waited so long
Feathers float
In dandelion air

Esperanza
Any longer
I waited til I couldn’t hold
Any longer
And my fear and my fear and my fear
Gathered cold
Now the fern’s unwhirled
Like fingers curled

Scent of the one
Solitude’s son
Hands intertwine
Yours and mine

Daylight on the wing

about

Not My Circus Madrid, Spain

Not My Circus makes alt-pop songs with folk-tinged vocal harmonies skipping over a freak show of psych-blues riffs, soulful bass grooves, wonky funk beats and warm electronic textures. A white-knuckle ride to the edge of your musical map, and back again.

Step right up. The circus is in town. ... more
