Broken promise you have told
Seemed like yesterday to me
The countless letters that you wrote
I locked away and hid the key
Tried my best just to sustain
What we had, a life of hope
But you have broken my dreams again
Shattered glass around your rope
Why have you gone without me?
Why must you leave so soon?
What would you do when the other end of the thread is not in this world?
Through the river of the dead, I'll go to the end to find your soul
Broken promise you have told
Thinking back I still don't know
One day, the answer will unfold
As I walk further below
All the secrets you concealed
Hidden in your darkest cloud
They shook my ground and my belief
When what shattered was your vow
"As I descend lower,
The shadows thicken as if to suffocate all who intrudes
As I descend lower, lower, and lower,
I know there might be no turning back
No turning back to life
A dark body of water appears
Threatening to suck in all who stares into it
As a boat appears through the dim mist,
I am waiting to see you again"
To me, "Trip The Life Fantastic" was a must-buy on "Bandcamp Friday" this time. It's one of the few "Drifting Sun" albums not already found in my collection, and an essential one, because it marks the beginning of the prolific collaboration of composer/keyboardist Pat Sanders and lyricist/singer Peter Falconer, which was, in my opinion, the best creative pairing the band ever had.

Well, I wouldn't say that the music of "Section IV" defies genres... in my opionion, it belongs to the neo-prog genre without any doubt. But on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with that. The important thing is that the band contributes great new work to the genre, helping to keep it alive. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

A career-spanning live album from the European experimental rock band, featuring King Crimson's Gavin Harrison on drums. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 27, 2021
Discovered this album by investigating other peoples collections. Its worth getting just for the opening track alone. Such a beautiful melodious song. The whole album is good and well produced a great find. Lush arrangements give it that bit extra.
Fantastic piece of work. Brian White
