The birds sing to the cold sun Dressed in black Praying for The Spring To carry hope For me And For you Breaking eyes, Aching smiles We part For a better place To rest our cries I woke up Where I left myself Yesterday Believing I Would wake in tears and laughter With you With you With you

Blue Veil 05:33
In the deep blue Veil of our night I see your heart shine From the life within your shrine And my center shivers As our breath becomes the forgiver And I call upon your name And I watch your towering flame Passing on, passing on The sky is so big Oh my love, And true spirits fly Do you think they love themselves just like we love each other Now your time has come To travel on The flowers blooms as a new life has begun And the loving figures Dances and lingers And I listen to your laughter And I believe in your morning after Passing on, passing on The sky is so big Oh my love, And true spirits fly Do you think they love themselves just like we love each other The sky is so big Oh my love, And true spirits fly Do you think they love themselves just like we love each other

My hands awoke by the window I had a vision You stood by my side All pale - dressed in the light We watched our hearts hung upon the golden wire And your so name was sung By the nightingale choir I cried My friend, My sister, My lover. When will i see you again In the gloom of confusion In the fume of disillusion I sing to our past The one i thought would ever last I have brung a spell upon myself Born and bound Bound by the lake All stale - in the skin that I found I watched your fire dance and slowly suffocate And so your name was sung By the nightingale choir I apologize My friend, My sister, My lover. Your fire must dance again Your fire must dance again Your fire must dance again

Mother 03:36
The waves that breaks On the stones of the shores Whispers the stories Of reflection and truth And here I stand on the edge Humming This song as my pledge The blinded swans Behind the bleeding sun Calling the calls of a seeking son And heroines are dancing And I wish that I could reach And I wish that I could reach them I look into My mother's eyes I must remember to pray A vision of divinity For the life she so lovingly gave me A vision of divinity For the life she so lovingly gave me
6.
When I look into the eyes Of the child I once was I can feel the fear In the breath That keeps me from dying And if you think this seems senseless You should see the reality That I live in Oh my God I guess that, I I guess that, I I guess that I have to kill the child I guess I have to kill the child If you think this seems senseless You should see the reality That live in Oh my God That I live in Oh my God
7.
I was sitting with my eyes closed And there you were Friday's child Singing for me A song of love and redemption I have missed you It's good to see you again The year has born itself again And here I am Crying in relief and laughter For all the love that surrounds me I have missed you It's good to see you again
8.
Blood rush and tempest oceans, I stand not on peaking waves Nor do I stand in deepest graves I lay my eyes in your hands I lay my ears in your heart My life becomes you As I greet my farewell In the breath between sea and sky I rest on the shore Once touched by you and I The leaves Has left their branches And the snow has born Deafening avalanches And here my eyes only see your kindness Long lost and forgotten times Whispers the chorus of a brand new life I stand tall I stand for all I will carry the broken thyme And I will drink in your sour wine I will greet myself

about

Making room for improvisation and exploring the beauty and fragility of musical coincidences, the musical expression on “Blood Rush, Tempest Oceans” is delicate, frail, gentle and yet profound (perhaps revitalizing the expression “quiet is the new loud”). A heartwarming - equally sad and uplifting - piece of music, knowing grief but promising hope, we believe this work to be an understated but deep and graceful musical experience. The album deals with a difficult period of life marked by PTSD - the diagnosis, the acceptance and the following treatment - and the simultaneous revitalization and awakening of a broken heart. There’s a weightless almost immaterial pastoral quality to the songs, a soft, kind embrace. It’s about patience, peace, and healing. A truly empathetic project, we’re proud to release “Blood Rush, Tempest Oceans” on Pink Cotton Candy Records.

Homesickness is an indie-folk/jazz/post-rock septet framed around the tranquil and pensive artistic voice of Copenhagen-based singer, guitarist, lyricist and painter, Malthe Junge. A trust-based and compassionate musical space - striving to transmit and elucidate the often verbally inexplicable joys and sorrows of personal mental health and emotional life - the group paints a varied sonic picture using sound sources such as violin, piano, trompet, saxophone and mellotrone, besides the acoustic and electric guitar, drums and bass. Ideally, the compositions work as intuitive artistic tools to mirror and stimulate conversations about mental health, spirituality, love and relations; a glimpse into a highly personal, vulnerable - and sometimes almost devotional - striving for emancipation, where light and love, pain and darkness can be unified into a cohesive aesthetic whole.
