"VALLEY" is the 2nd part of this lonely journey across the desert. While the last track of "DEATH" left us wretched and drained on the ground, "Dunes", the first track of "VALLEY", picks up with a slow awakening from this state of comatose. The blood rushes through the brain, pounding rhythmically through the temples. Numb and semi-conscious under the scorching sun, in the middle of the burning sand and surrounded by rocks, infinity is on the horizon, throughout its range and beauty. Revived and back on your feet with "Creek", the journey continues but the resumed path still seems endless and scary, bringing back fear and doubt. Death is still lingering, always. "Flats" is the light at the end of the tunnel. Exhausted, hope appears out of nowhere as an exit path miraculously welcomes you. One last effort to power-through the last distance, looking straight ahead with confidence, leaving this desert behind while the Other puts a definitive end to this hell, at last. Safe but marked for life.
