lyrics
I just don't know how it feels anymore
Life's drifting in time divided
Empire's falling in kingdom's rust
In echoes I won't hear when the night is over
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning
There's no refuge for hopelessness
No science for broken-hearted frills
No ornaments, no light, no light bright enough
To cover the darkness of our faithless thrills, no
The beginning is the end, the beginning
The beginning is the end, the end
The pain that bonds it all together
The beginning, as we lose, the colors, as we faint,
The bloodline, the bloodline turned specter, turned specter as we end
The anguish of unknown, unfolded grief
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The end
I don't know how to cover the rues at my feet
Mercy's hidden like a lonesome treasure
And sorrow's evil, but when it's all you've got
It's a dear friend holding your crestfallen woes
The beginning, the beginning is the end, the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The edge may cover the words of disruption
Its youthful dream, its youthful dream may fool you into believing
That the voices you hear, you hear, you hear
May come from heaven and beyond
But static is the noise whispering in your ears
The beginning is the end
The beginning is the end
The pain that bonds it all together
The beginning, as we lose, the colors as we faint
The bloodline turned specter as we end
The bloodline, the bloodline as we end
The beginning
The anguish of unknown, unfolded grief
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning is the end
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling on his knees
The beginning is the end
Life's drifting in time divided
Empire's falling in kingdom's rust
In echoes I won't hear when the night is over
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning
There's no refuge for hopelessness
No science for broken-hearted frills
No ornaments, no light, no light bright enough
To cover the darkness of our faithless thrills, no
The beginning is the end, the beginning
The beginning is the end, the end
The pain that bonds it all together
The beginning, as we lose, the colors, as we faint,
The bloodline, the bloodline turned specter, turned specter as we end
The anguish of unknown, unfolded grief
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The end
I don't know how to cover the rues at my feet
Mercy's hidden like a lonesome treasure
And sorrow's evil, but when it's all you've got
It's a dear friend holding your crestfallen woes
The beginning, the beginning is the end, the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The edge may cover the words of disruption
Its youthful dream, its youthful dream may fool you into believing
That the voices you hear, you hear, you hear
May come from heaven and beyond
But static is the noise whispering in your ears
The beginning is the end
The beginning is the end
The pain that bonds it all together
The beginning, as we lose, the colors as we faint
The bloodline turned specter as we end
The bloodline, the bloodline as we end
The beginning
The anguish of unknown, unfolded grief
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning, the beginning is the end
The beginning is the end
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling on his knees
A man is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling on his knees
The beginning is the end

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 🙏
