lyrics

52:23 (V. Polichar)

I had no voice anymore
I think I've screamed 'til I'm sore
I felt discarded and disregarded
I lay, a shell and a husk --
I could not take "me" from "us"
so I decided I felt divided

(Stay with me now, it's quiet)

and I -- I just want you --
I want you to talk to me
for about 52 hours and 23 minutes

Have I a place in your play
I'm never sure what to say
or what my role is, or what control is
I won't reveal my inside
my heart is thin but it's wide
and no one sold it; I might have told it...

(Stay with me now, it's quiet)

and I -- I just want you --
I want you to play music to me
for about 52 hours and 23 minutes

(And I was talking to you,
but I couldn't hear you.)

I felt one moment of doubt
as if my inside were out --
my sleeve was wearing, my heart was tearing --
Then I stepped into the street
and I felt firm on my feet
and past all caring, and past despairing

(Stay with me now, it's quiet)

and I -- I just want you --
I want you to wait for me
for about 52 years and 23 minutes

Huge Shark recommends:

Cerulean
by Nashville Ambient Ensemble

Exquisite, Eno-influenced ambient sounds bear a distinct Nashville flavor yet have a starry, universal feel. Nothing so beautiful on a quiet afternoon (or any day that needs quiet in it). Huge Shark

The Madrean
by Whale Fall

The Madrean is a great starting point for one of my favorite bands -- this cornet-accented instrumental album puts into musical 'words' so many aspects of my beloved Southern California landscape. Huge Shark

The Coachlight Woods
by Glowworm

I never tire of relistening to this sparkling-in-the-darkness album by Glowworm. Favorite tracks include Contrails, Cracks in the Desert Sea of St. George and Glow Scraped From the Earth. Huge Shark

33°
by Unknown Land

supported by 4 fans who also own “52:23”

Wonderful mix of melancholy, euphoric, vibes, with ethereal and industrial sounds intermingling to create a unique entity. A vey interesting meeting point between the two creatives behind it. I love the whole piece, but the track 'Risk' holds a special place, as it is first track I heard. I love the feel and flow, it captures something in me everytime I hear it. Jessica Pink
