…And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead — How Near How Far (2002)
Sonic wall of angst and yet beautiful.
Trail of Dead is a post-hardcore band from the 90's. Great sense of musicianship, especially the drumming. Sources and Codes (2002) is an overall 10/10 album for me.
Great tune
Trail of Dead is a super underrated band. If you haven't heard this album and the couple that followed it, I highly suggest you go and listen immediately.
Looking back in time
Through verses set in nursery rhyme
At oil painted eyes
Of muses left behind
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dryShe stands with arms stretched out
Towards the mountains & the clouds
Oil painted eyes
Blind yet hypnotized
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry(How near, how far, how lost they are)
I've rendered every line
Every contour of a muse's eye
Painted in my eyes mind
On canvases of time
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
