about

The topic of this wonderful piece arose from our minds following a wonderful experience we had by teaching music to disabled children in a therapy center for childhood trauma. It is difficult to describe the experience in words, and often even music is not enough.

For the video clip of the song, directed by Fred Cavallini, we decided to modify some parts to make them more like the version we were playing live in that period, in order to add more energy to the final section.

lyrics

I feel something that the others don’t even see
every day I can touch the smiles and wails of a hard childhood

In front of my eyes I look back on my whole life
my whole normal, stupid life
and I learn that there is someone who
doesn’t ask for more, doesn’t ask for more

And I would like to take their hands and to dry their tears
but it’s not so easy we can’t change their past
and their disillusions

While sometimes we must try to listen, try to listen
and don’t stop in front of what appears
why don’t you look at their faces
that are screaming all their rage

Their eyes hide weakness.

You only wanted to be a child
and fill all your days with smiles
mothers, fathers and their troubles
dumped on their daughters and sons

Tens, hundreds of eyes
that couldn’t understand why
you only wanted to be a child
you only wanted to be

Their eyes hide weakness.

Maya wants to be a child
and fills her days with hugs and smiles
leaves her mother and her father
looking for a new, virgin dawn

Tens and hundreds of eyes
that can not understand why
she only wants to be a child
she only wants to be

Singled Out
by Drifting Sun

supported by 5 fans who also own “Maya (Video Edit)”

I received this as a surprise present by the band for pre-ordering the upcoming album, so thanks a lot to you, too :-)) As could be expected by Pat Sanders & Co, highly melodic prog that should, for instance, appeal too friends of Fish-era Marillion (although Uncle Fish would never have reached those high notes ;-) ) and some instrumentals (from beautiful miniatures like Bubbles to the more epic Last Supper). Among many other fine things offered here, I especially love Pat's piano playing! Carsten Pieper

Trip the Life Fantastic
by Drifting Sun

supported by 5 fans who also own “Maya (Video Edit)”

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.
