So, have you figured it out?
I’m better by myself
Staring at the wall
And older times you know were priceless
My doubt is like my skin
Ageing made it worse
And time flies,
I've let it all sink in, you can’t be here
It’s not like this path was gold
The high has long gone and subsided, disappeared
But forever I will know
That I was not enough
I fold, what will it be?
Surrounded by my schemes
I’ve written to myself
Floating it would seem
In a tired empty sea
I close my eyes and think of everything we were
Or could’ve been
And I’m here
Moving yet stationary in mind
Wonder how we let things go
It’s all clear: it was just not the right place in time
But forever I will know
That I was not enough
Oh, and I don’t need your love
It’s out of question, I should let these feelings go
I just care too much
You see right through me
Beneath the surface, I’m burning up
And time flies
I've let it all sink in, you can’t be here
‘Cause you still have more to show
And the high has long gone and subsided, disappeared
But forever I will know
That I was not enough
Oh, have you figured it out?
I’m better by myself
Hidden by the wall

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.

Ein so seltsames Album ist mir lange nicht mehr untergekommen. Der Track „Blood Of The Rose“ lässt den Hörer die Stirn in Falten ziehen. Eine zuckersüße, liebliche, kitschige Melodie dringt an das Ohr des Hörers. So säuselt der Song eine Weile vor sich hin, bis er plötzlich etwa bei Halbzeit (es handelt sich um einen 10minüter) komplett die Stimmung wechselt und plötzlich mit zupackender Gitarre und Sprech-Gesang in einen floydige Bluesrock-Hymne umschlägt... sehr kurios!

At last and after a too long time on my wishlist this album has finally been bought ;-)
Clearly recommended to friends of classic Pink Floyd (rather think Wish You Were Here than The Wall or in other words rather think Gilmour/Wright than Waters). Carsten Pieper
