FLOWERS // MANY TIMES WE TAKE WITH A HEAVY HAND AND AFTER AWHILE DESERT WITHOUT A MERCY OR A THOUGHT. HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE HAVE A NEW OPPORTUNITY? HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE PICK SOMETHING UP, BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO FRAGILE? HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE OURSELVES BE PICKED, BEFORE WE BECOME TOO FRAIL? // Scenes from If We Love | Short Film licensed through Reel Clef Studios

To all the flowers
Drowning in the night
Falling, sinking
Far beyond the depths tonight
Until the morning
Takes us by its side
We are nowhere
We look for a way to find
Reaching highs
Blinding skies
Reaching highs
Blinding lights
All the flowers
We took without a care
Broken pieces
We thought would fall back in place
Until the moment
Takes us by its side
Who can blame us
We look for a way to find
Reaching highs
Blinding skies
Reaching highs
Blinding lights
Once again we find ourselves
Here on
No man's ground
Where no truth can be found
Here on
No man's ground
Flying signals high above the clouds
Here on
No man's ground
Maybe this time there's no way out
Here on
No man's ground
Left like the flowers we once hide
Washed away
Left today
(Like the flowers we once)
MORNING // YOU CAN'T STOP YOUR DREAMS. IS IT WORTH TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THEM? CAN YOU TRUST YOUR DREAMS? WHAT IF THOSE DREAMS TELL ABOUT DESIRES AND THINGS YOU CAN'T AFFECT. IT IS SCARY TO THINK YOU WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN A DREAM. MAYBE THE WORST NIGHTMARES ARE THOSE YOU DON'T WANT TO WAKE FROM. // Scenes from the short film Circular created by Fraser Whitehead

When you slide into the bed and watch the world outside like dead
When we don't care for tomorrow when it's all now here we play
In this room of pale light with the morning in our eyes
It's like we never knew the horrors of a thing called world outside
This is our own
This is what I mean
This is our own
No one here to see
This is our own
Life inside a dream
This is our own
A future to believe
To sleep with no fear
Sleep with no dreams
When you slide into the bed and watch the world outside like dead
When we don't care for tomorrow when it's all now here we play
In this room of pale light with the morning in our eyes
It's like we never knew the horrors of a thing called world outside
This is our own
This is what I mean
This is our own
No one here to see
This is our own
Life inside a dream
This is our own
A future to believe
I used to dream about this place
I used to watch you play with your hair
Until the moon shines down
Until the lights burn down
To sleep with no fear
Sleep with no dreams
To be part of this
To be just like this
I used to dream about this place
I used to have what it takes
Stay awake for a moment
Whisper to me what is broken
To sleep with no fear
Sleep with no dreams
To be part of this
To be just like this
100 WEEKS OF WAR // EVERY WAR HAS ITS VICTIM, USUALLY AN INNOCENT ONE. IT'S NOT EASY TO SPEAK ABOUT PERSONAL THINGS AND IT'S NOT EASY TO THINK ABOUT THEM. FORTUNATELY IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO WRITE AND SING ABOUT THEM. I REMEMBER THE SUMMER FEVER AND THE WINTER MORNINGS IN MY CAR. I REMEMBER THAT PHONE CALL AND I REMEMBER THE NIGHTS IN AN EMPTY HOUSE. // Scenes from the short film The River is Moving by Rocket House Pictures

READ LYRICS
At the end of this love / Something that barely had a start
Tracks of scars / Only lay all around by my side
Slowly the rain / Slowly the rain starts to set
Only the glow / Only the scarlet glow hangs on
And I know / Summer fever has blown out the window
Here now ends / Here now ends our 100 weeks of war
Empty spaces and abandoned rooms
Empty spaces and abandoned rooms
Empty spaces and abandoned rooms
Empty spaces and abandoned rooms
One more shot / When no one’s counting anymore
Voice on the phone / Smaller than those tears that fall
And I know / Summer fever has gone
Here now ends / Here now ends our 100 weeks of war
