lyrics
The trigger's pulled on long-distance goodbyes
The trigger's pulled, the word's confessed
The trigger's pulled, one last embrace
The trigger's pulled
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
From a stranger to another, another
Lavender sky
Another
The pain's scattered, and time's wrapping its youthful promise
We've got new temples and prays
But the fears remain the same, never feels any better
Silent motion through science and flares
But it's gets older as we fade, never as we fare
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
From a stranger to another, another
Lavender sky
Another
The trigger's pulled, I'm drifting away
The trigger's pulled, without a trace
The trigger's pulled
If truth is the sorrow we bare
If truth is the sorrow
We pull the trigger with every step
We pull the trigger with every step
We pull the trigger
We're setting fire on a moment that matters
Illusions covering the bad from the worst
Reflecting motion, reflecting motion
From a stranger to another, the good like the worst
We're pulling the trigger, we're pulling the trigger
And it hurts like the truths we denied one another
To keep our faith in what doesn't feel any better
The trigger's pulled, the word's confessed
The trigger's pulled, one last embrace
The trigger's pulled
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
From a stranger to another, another
Lavender sky
Another
The pain's scattered, and time's wrapping its youthful promise
We've got new temples and prays
But the fears remain the same, never feels any better
Silent motion through science and flares
But it's gets older as we fade, never as we fare
And the sun falls down from a far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
From a stranger to another, another
Lavender sky
Another
The trigger's pulled, I'm drifting away
The trigger's pulled, without a trace
The trigger's pulled
If truth is the sorrow we bare
If truth is the sorrow
We pull the trigger with every step
We pull the trigger with every step
We pull the trigger
We're setting fire on a moment that matters
Illusions covering the bad from the worst
Reflecting motion, reflecting motion
From a stranger to another, the good like the worst
We're pulling the trigger, we're pulling the trigger
And it hurts like the truths we denied one another
To keep our faith in what doesn't feel any better

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...

A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music.

BRUIT fait partie de ces groupes qui se découvrent surtout en live. Une claque de tous les instants, à chaque mesure. Du son des cordes magnifiques à la guitare qui nous enrobe, le voyage est exceptionnel et en vaut la chandelle. Merci encore 🙏
