First let us gather
Rumors abound
Stories told to weave a tapestry of hopelessness
The oracle says the day will soon unfold
When the sky will burn
Breathing in disease
Breathing in disease with every fetid gasp of air
The sun is shining but the birds are nowhere to be seen
She says the creature will consume us all
And the matrons wail
The creature wants to feed
We are all forced to see another fail to blot out the sun
A stark epiphany that life will never end
Align the stars again and let us make our own destinies
Fill our hearts with the hope of another day

My choice of a favourite song is not set in stone; there are a lot of subtleties to absorb in these songs, both lyrically and instrumentally. I can say, with conviction, that this is top tier neo~prog in the vein of Porcupine Tree, and it often hits 🎯on my ‘musical quest dartboard’. Lyrics are thoughtful and personal, and the accompanying music is always a complementary partner that walks hand in hand with the vocals. Hillward’s sound is satisfyingly diverse and pleasurable.
