Neurotech - The Act of Forgiveness PhoenixFlamesRising 2014-11-08 | I am waiting for itI am so closeI am waiting for the rainTo change my shadeOf colourI’m askingWhat’s killing me,What’s killing you?These thoughtsAre here to stayUnless, unless weAre forgivenWhat’s killing me,What’s killing you?Our mindsAre our only escapeAt last, at last weAre forgivenI am waiting for rainI am so close,Yet so far from hereI am waiting for the dayTo change the shapeOf my heartThe road has comeTo an endIt’s time to departTake it easyI can't say enough positive things about Neurotech, and the album from which this song is taken. If you enjoyed this song, please do yourself (and the artist) a favor, and check out the album, "Infra Versus Ultra." If you like what you hear, support the artist by buying a copy; so that he can make more phenomenal music like this. I don't think you'll be disappointed. This is electronic emotional music at it's finest; combining power and beauty flawlessly. The best I've heard to date of this genre: http://neurotech.bandcamp.com/album/infra-versus-ultra

The Twilight Garden - The Ice King PhoenixFlamesRising 2017-05-13 | Time wears me downI feel so oldNobody, sometimes (?)It's one lonely streetWithout lightsWithout dreamsBut I carry onFor so longI don't know whyAnd sometimes I want it all to endBut then againI know it's comingI'm watching it descendI breathe the snowI bring the iceLost in my cold eyesAnd in the eveningYour reverieWith my lips turning blueYou will find meBringing down the worldSilver (??)Let the chill of the night come undoneLike my heart is almost doneAnd the cold (??)Is going on... So longSo longSo longSo longIs there any warmth, any beat?Shock me back to lifeSomeone find meOn the thin, silver dazzling threadIt's where we areAnd it's all I amIs there any warmth, any beat?My hope wanders in that beat.Is there any warmth, any beat?My hope is in that beat.It's in that beat.projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/a-world-we-pretend
Lost Signal - Blind PhoenixFlamesRising 2017-05-04 | Try as I doI don't see youStanding right next to meMy eyes burn with tears And I fear that I'm... Losing myself againWhere did you go?Where are you coming from?Why can't I see youStanding right next to me?The pressure inside, I can't take And I find that I cannot breatheAnd I can't breatheFor years I have seeked youLooking with weary eyes So tiredSo very tiredFor years I found nothing butEmptiness and loneliness inside meDeep inside meSometimes I see your reflectionBut I'm not quick enoughSometimes I feel your hand touching mineAs I sleep at nightAs I sleep at nightThe longing I feel is too strenuousPlease help me find youStanding right next to meI know that you're there, but you're not thereAnd I can't take it anymoreI can't take it anymoreI've done all I can and I'll keep doingAll that I can for youAll I can for youSomeday I'll know what it means to be aliveAnd I'll find you, standing right next to meWhere did you go?Where are you coming from?Why can't I see youStanding right next to me?The pressure inside, I can't takeAnd I find that I cannot breatheAnd I can't breathelostsignal.bandcamp.comfacebook.com/Lost-Signal-149714758431892
Ashengrace - Surface (full album) PhoenixFlamesRising 2017-04-30 | Track listing:Descent November Shallow (The Aching Sea Part I) Sekhmet & Osiris Only Sometimes (The Aching Sea Part II) The Coming Of The Tides Seven Summer (The Aching Sea Part III) Surface November (Overture) I don't normally upload entire albums, as I don't want to take away from potential sales for the artist. Unfortunately, Ashengrace appears to no longer be recording music; the official Ashengrace site is long gone with no apparent signs of resurrecting; and the music that was released previously by Ashengrace on CD-r format is difficult to find and more or less impossible to actually still buy. Under such circumstances, it is my hope that I am not taking away from any sales for the artist by uploading this full album; which still resonates as a masterpiece to me and which I believe warrants being heard by others.
Mr. Kitty - Healing Waters PhoenixFlamesRising 2017-04-30 | As I thought in moment's blissWe never dreamed you'd leave like thisI close my eyes for one last kissTo drown you deep in my abyssNow it's time to let you goWhy you left I will not knowMay your light burn through the darkLet the waters drift you farFading in my vision's mistTake the bracelet from my wristHold your hand into a fistThe touch I felt does not existNow it's time to let you goWhy you left I will not knowMay your light burn through the darkLet the waters drift you far-------------------------This song is melodic, electronic, atrial devastation; a tapestry of the purest pain which occurs before the actual healing begins. It is the summary of separation between two, before one can once again heal to become whole.#EmotiveZenithmrkittydm.bandcamp.comfacebook.com/mrkittydmtwitter.com/mrkittydm
Winter Severity Index - Lighting Ratio PhoenixFlamesRising 2017-04-30 | Branches shadestretches out in the twilight,memories of the pristine fire,day by day walking past power line,yellow lights, pale blue skies.The pain grown in my breaststill burn inside,The cold that blaze my face againstill makes me smile.Fragile sketch made of light,leaves and water:let it dazzle,let it dance.On my coat, freezing hands,tighten shoulders…There's no need of anyoneto keep me aliveA drop shines in the thin air,a given sign.A step forward on the stairof peaceful times.winterseverityindex.bandcamp.comfacebook.com/pages/Winter-Severity-Index/128020603891816?_fb_noscript=1

Breeze vs. Lost Witness - Rise Again (Affecting Noise Remix) (Male) HD 1080p PhoenixFlamesRising 2016-09-19 | As the sun goes downI hear your voices calling meAnd I wonder where you areAs the rain falls downThe clouds, they slowly disappearStill I wonder where you areIf I lose my mindAnd if I start to lose controlWill you wonder where I am?Til the end of timeI will be frozen here with youStill you wonder where I amAs I rise againI embrace the sunAnd I'm looking out across the burning skyAs I rise againI can feel you nearI am floating to the place where I belongPlace where I belongPlace where I belongAs I rise againI embrace the sunAnd I'm looking out across the burning skyAs I rise againI can feel you nearI am floating to the place where I belongAs I rise againAs I rise againAs I rise againAs I rise againVideo/sound quality is available here up to 1080p, selecting that as the quality level through the "Settings" function in the lower right corner of the video screen.This is the "Affecting Noise Remix" version of "Rise Again," but also slowed an additional 5 percent for a bit of extra effect. I then changed the pitch on the vocals to make it sound as if a male were singing the vocals. This gives a female and a male perspective to the song between the two versions of it that I have posted here. It is fairly amazing what can be done with music software these days. That being said, all copyright still belongs to the original performers, and please support them by buying copies of their music if you enjoyed their music here.

Valdi Sabev - Promised Land PhoenixFlamesRising 2016-01-17 | "A long life, longevity, has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked over, and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land! And so I'm happy tonight; I'm not worried about anything; I'm not fearing ANY man..."-- Martin Luther King, Jr.Note: This song is a actually a combination of 3 songs by the always amazing artist, Valdi Sabev. The intro is part of the song, "We Are Free"; then there is the actual song, "Promised Land"; and finally an outro derived from the song, "So Much Beauty." It's kind of amazing how well these songs fit together; but all actual credit goes entirely to the original artist Valdi Sabev, who maintains all copyright over the source material.

Scarlet Youth - Primal (Slowdive cover) PhoenixFlamesRising 2014-12-14 | TodayI watched the colors fadeWatched the games we playAnd when it all falls down hereDon't forget the dayWhen the sunshine fades hereRemember what they sayRemember what they say(Falls) to the right timeShe callsTodayAnd every time, she says she's fallingAnd every time, the colors fadeShe callsTo the right timeShe callsTodayAnd every time, she says she's fallingAnd every time, the colors fadeCan't believe(???) spinning?Can't believeIt's pastIt scares meCan't believeIt scares meCan't believe, can't believe...Scares meCan't believe, can't believe...NOTE: Very special thanks to John Severa, for his comment below, to assist with the lyrics here. In this cover version, there are some lyrics which seem to be sung in addition to the official Slowdive lyrics contained on the lyrics sheet to which John has kindly left a link in his comment. I also realize now that the lyrics contained on the art for this video are not entirely correct. I'll just leave the artwork as is, as the alternative would be to re-do and re-upload the entire video; which would delete the viewing statistics and comments already left for this version of it. Thank you again to John for your comment below. If you are a Slowdive fan, you owe it to yourself to check out the very comprehensive and informative "Slowdive Digital Museum," at: http://www.souvlakispacestation.comThis song and many other great tracks (including an entire CD of Slowdive covers!) can be found on the very impressive "Static Waves 3" compilation from Saint Marie Records; available in various formats for ridiculously low prices: http://saintmarierecords.bandcamp.com/album/static-waves-3

Spotlight Kid - Joy (Slowdive cover) PhoenixFlamesRising 2014-12-14 | Falling down in a gallant waveHundred ways, I'm gonna make you payTwist the knife and break my heartNeed to know, I think I'll make it rightDancing across the parkDown the hillDancing across the parkDown the hillFalling down in a wretched waveComing back, I'm the one who will make you payTwist the knife and break my heartLeast you'll know, I think I'll make it rightDancing across the parkDown the hillDancing across the parkDown the hillWatching you, what you sayWatching now, I fade awayFeels alive, feels aloneFeels alone; "So what?," she saysTime alone, it breaks my heartThings I've had, it's torn apartThings you said, a broken heartThings you said, just like a dream NOTE: This is an amazing cover version of one of my favorite Slowdive songs. I'm not sure at all about the accuracy of these lyrics, however. The lyrics of Slowdive are notoriously difficult to decipher, due to the way they blend into the music and become just one part of it all. The lyrics above are just my best guess, and are in no way official lyrics. If anyone has official lyrics, or possible other interpretations/corrections, I'm all ears. :)Finally, this song and many other great tracks can be found on the very impressive "Static Waves 3" compilation from Saint Marie Records; available in various formats for ridiculously low prices: http://saintmarierecords.bandcamp.com/album/static-waves-3

deadpoets. - Paper Cranes (part I and II) PhoenixFlamesRising 2014-08-06 | "I cannot sleep, I cannot eat, I cannot breathe and I cannot dream. Lusting after that cold, open air, travelling lonely on a road to nowhere. And here we lie, together yet still so alone; that heart you carry, I feel it breaking in my bones, and if this glass flower, decides to shatter, while saving every shard I’ll bleed, to show you it still matters. Or do we wade endlessly, inside a sea that’s never parting? Like helpless children, amongst the blue, they’re going under, but it’s not the tide that takes you. It’s the regret. It’s the regret. It’s the regret. It’s the regret that there may have been, something left. Alas, I digress, so I’ll tell that old familiar tale, of that wooden ship, smashed on the rocks, that never had set sail. I am the captain. You were the lighthouse. I was the captain. You are the lighthouse. Bright light, blinding white, leading me to another sleepless night. And with no sleep, comes no release, another night, following your light. Our dreams tell us the secrets we keep, even from ourselves. They’re keys we can’t escape, like your old familiar smell. And if you followed those dreams you, held so closely… And if you followed your dreams, they would have shown you. And if you followed those dreams you, held closely… And if you followed your dreams, they’d have taken you to me. It’s not a memory. It’s not that you didn’t take the chance. It’s not a glass half empty. It’s not the miles in the distance. It’s not that shattered flower, nor the seconds in the hours. It’s not accepting our defeat. It’s not ‘we used to be a you and me’.It’s the regret. It’s the regret. It’s the regret. It’s the regret. It’s the regret. It’s the regret. It’s the regret that there still is, something left."-------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is an edited version of Parts I and II of "Paper Cranes" by deadpoets. It's quite simply one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard, both musically and lyrically. The benchmark by which all others will be compared, when it comes to this type of music. If you have enjoyed it, as well, please support the band in any way you can. Thank you.http://deadpoetsmusic.bandcamp.comPhoto Credit: http://nekodoru.deviantart.com/art/Paper-Cranes-201301529

Front Line Assembly - Ghosts (Primitive Race)* PhoenixFlamesRising 2014-06-09 | I'm all alone in my mindThis wretched corpseWhich is blindThis final stateOppressive viewsFighting depressionWhat to doToo small to dieCowards lieNever see eye to eyeCHORUS:Wasted nightsDeep trauma soundsThis certain momentOf death aroundNothing to loseTired of it allWhere do I fall? (x2)I climb the stairsWearing my bestDon't want to makeA blood filled messMy list is clearI have no fearDon't bother sheddingA final tearCHORUS x2Paranoid delusionLost my mindFrittered seclusionCHORUS x2 *Note: This is just a slightly sped up (by about 6 percent) version of a brilliant remix for "Ghosts" which appears on the Front Line Assembly masterpiece, "Echoes" (Deluxe Version). I think FLA is releasing some of their strongest material in years, and I encourage you to seek out the full album (especially the Deluxe Version) and purchase a copy. You won't regret it, and your support allows the artist to continue to record excellent music in the future.
