about

From our 3rd CD Ariel, released on Prikosnovénie, France.

‘Hence, away; now all is well: one, aloof, stand sentinel’
- Act II, Scene III, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ by Shakespeare

Sentinel: a guard, guardian, totem or guide.

Will o’ the Wisp: a sprite who lures travellers with a light, leading to illusion and danger.*

Their struggle is creative. In our fortress we are safe, yet can sink into entropy. Beyond, we are free to seek whimsical fires, but at what cost?

*Will o’ the Wisp is known by many names: Jack-a-Lantern, Jack in the Green, Puck, Robin Goodfellow, Ignis Fatuus (‘the foolish fire’) and the Lantern Man, among others, according to Katharine Briggs in ‘A Dictionary of Fairies.’

lyrics

Shouldn’t we go home?
Couldn’t we just sleep under stars?
Is that a Will o’ the Wisp through the trees?
Seems like we’re often led to believe …

Oh! those dreams,
Wild animals hunting in reed

Shouldn’t we go home?
Couldn’t we just live like the birds?
Is that a Will o’ the Wisp through the trees?
Seems like we’re often led to believe …

Oh! those dreams,
Wild oceans are moving in mead
