lyrics

The Mirror (V. Polichar)

And in the mirror, see your face again:
the ghost that haunts the spaces in between.
I meet your eyes as if I don't intend to turn my head
and walk off and leave the scene, and you believe.

This is a photograph, a replica.
There is no answer when I call you now.
I'm left to ponder the apocrypha, the toxic pen
that could write these cryptic words and just move on.

And I look again to the mirror
and think how beautiful I am
and how finely shaped my skull,
and how little remains in the garden
if I go walking out on the flowers
with my arch so full...

I presuppose that I will meet my end --
that Death will claim me with her long wild arms --
that I'll keep dancing until I can't spend my breath on flowers
or my eyes upon your charms, and I will fight...

And I look again to the mirror
and think how beautiful I am
and how finely shaped my skull,
and how little remains in the garden
if I go walking out on the flowers
with my heart so full...

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 “The Mirror”

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
