We rise to walk in the golden hour Alight in a sun stung haze Beside me, you render a forceful power All right, no mistakes And if we want to go back, go back It’s what we decide And if we want to turn ‘round, turn ‘round It won’t be to hide The words we said, we said in modern tongue But if the meaning was heard, was heard by all but one How do we get away with this? How do we get away with this? The love we share, we share with ancient signs We can get carried away, away to further sights How do we get away with this? How do we get away with this? Or do we get away with this?

Amidst a winter rain dripping down your face A burst of light ahead, you try to look away Oh no, it’s time, it’s time you move along Oh yeah, it’s on, it’s you and you alone When all the colors of the sun Appear to me it’s on, it’s on, it’s on, it’s on A sound, that old familiar glow That sings to me, it’s on, it’s on, it’s on, it’s on A love like only you can show Revealed to me, it’s on, it’s on, it’s on, it’s on All of the vibrations in my heart All the shining colors break apart

Bloused Up 04:49
Bloused up and ready to take on Another in a long cold line of insults You see my silver crown as grey and dull It all seems so scary, and no one can hear me You’ve seen his face before He blows in from off shore Not sure just what he’s looking for Deletes his contacts all before Bloused up, I’m ready to get on But then I see that white boy’s hair and I’m so… Am I mysterious in my desire or predictable It all seems so scary, I’m bloused up and ready And I, I can’t be sure it’s you The stupid stuff we do To keep things as they were To keep us undeterred To keep our thoughts interred

In my dream you were covered in a color Golden leaves blotting out the sky Holding on to a portrait of another And you turn toward the mountain high Wait, wait, I can’t follow you where you hide Wait, wait, let me carry you home inside In my dream you were covered in a color Burning fields scatter ashes far Though the haze rises up above my shoulder I will always know where you are Wait, wait, I can’t follow you where you hide Wait, wait, let me carry you home inside

Quiet 04:32
Quiet the sound that torments me Quiet this house, this heart can sleep And it could be the sun that hangs in place And it could be another stone that follows me Across my face Quiet the sound that’s calling me Quiet the time so hard on me You think you have us dead to rights You haven’t yet As if it wasn’t the setting sun that silenced me Into something I haven’t been I hear you calling, am I sleeping I hear you calling, am I dreaming I hear you calling, am I sleeping I hear you calling, I hear you calling As if it wasn’t the setting sun that silenced me I hear you calling Quiet

We move with the waves, surrender to the tide If we can’t take the time that we take It’s staying inside If we can change our love, it won’t break It’s staying inside If we can’t take the time that we take It’s staying inside It’s all missteps, it’s all mistakes It’s all reshot, it’s all reshaped It’s all hidden, it’s all replayed It’s all instant, it’s all it takes To remove control If we can’t take the time that we take It’s staying inside But please don’t change my love it won’t break It’s staying inside If we can’t take the time that we take It’s staying inside It’s all missteps, it’s all mistakes It’s all reshot, it’s all reshaped It’s all hidden, it’s all replayed It’s all instant, it’s all it takes So fire let’s get on

If I should fall from the ceiling Before the place you are kneeling Don’t let me disturb your grieving Or fill in the space that I’m leaving And although I deserve this beating I haven’t misplaced my good feelings From under his cape, he is bleeding Childish accidents all competing I believe I deserve this beating But I haven’t misplaced my good feelings No room for all in this cold early fall Finish all ways late No room for all in this cold early fall Finish all ways late I’m using all of my patience Repeating the same conversations We keep warm inside the station Unsure which direction I’m facing And although I deserve this beating I haven’t misplaced my good feelings No room for all in this cold early fall Finish all ways late No room for all in this cold early fall Finish all ways late Late

Ostrich 04:20
I would do an hour in English If it could inspire your interest Am I too slow down as I get Ten feet from your door and we step I understand the light, I know that that’s my time And I won’t cross the line, it’s just that I’m liking the way your skin gets When we minimize the distance Why can’t we just fall down here We can go way too far, we can go way too far

Out This Way 03:56
So lovely that you called and listened I love the way you are, I wish it could be different But things always happen, games we play Our hourglass of sand has ran out again And again it always happens We pebbles in the ocean, just lost in slow motion

about

Erik Blood Los Angeles, California

Erik Blood creates music that lives in the magic hour. His production is a nuanced secret told only to his co-conspirators (Shabazz Palaces, Moondoggies, THEESatisfaction most notably). After two albums and a film score, Blood is delving further inward, into the dream, and returning with tales and melodies that evoke the warmth between two bodies and the dizziness of love, sex, or other substances ... more
