Dedicated to Katrice

This song originally appeared as the closing track on the album Grey Isles (2017) by Æther Body - now, this completely redone version of Amethyst is available and I couldn't be more excited. Also, I'd like to send a big thank you to Steve for helping me so much. In recording this song with him I definitely feel like I've grown as an artist for the first time in a long time.

lyrics

Lyrics:

You've been away
and I've been feeling tired
from time awake
without you

Lost alone tonight
my body's aching now
I dream of light
around you

Chorus:
Here comes the feeling
I feel when I'm with you
Here comes the feeling all around
I feel when I'm with you

When I pick you up
after you return
when your quest is done
we'll go home

Across eternal seas
I waited for the ship
I waited for the love I said farewell to
knowing you'd return
knowing suns could burn away
before I ever lose faith

Chorus

When I pick you up
after you return
when your quest is done
we'll go home

Lost alone tonight...
and I dream of light

Chorus

Spellwind
by Fogweaver

This music was on heavy rotation during the early pandemic. I'd walk my dog with it on as we'd trek through seemingly abandoned streets. Such a beautiful soundtrack to such an odd time. Michael Briar

Call It Arson
by Callitarson

Probably the album that made me want to start playing music in a serious way. Saw these dudes in a church basement back in '06. Changed my life. Michael Briar
