FloydienSlip Jon is at his greatest form yet with Fireworks, which features songs written around rhythm tracks of fireworks. The musicianship and songwriting at work here is astounding, and definitely worth checking out. Favorite track: The Tiger in Winter.

Cathedral 03:47
In this CATHEDRAL Whispering eyes The colors make the scenes alive Pictures bleed into these floors Shake these walls, shake these walls Seeing beauty – nothing else Statues glowing in subtle form The fountain spraying like a song The courtyard masses sing along Shake these walls, shake these walls Seeing beauty – nothing else Mindless words, mindless words Hide forgotten memories.

Evil 02:58
Under the willow trees we rode Fast as the lightning turns and folds The silhouette of him pursues Embodiment of cruel desire I saw his shadow coming close One glance is all I need to fear

1994 03:54
Never the same as once before. Formed in 1994 The things we do, the things we like Forward thinking has its price. “Never quite the same”, You said, “Never quite the same” What was said and might have been Always something, always more Finished work and finished song So ingrained, we sing along. … we sing along

Remember 05:34
Another day, another time Caught in a world, a foreign home, oh The land you knew where you used to walk Where you once thought of age and time Now all long gone You cannot return When seasons end we move along Your body still, your eyes are closed, oh The stone above a slow decay But the moment spent without you Are all that I remember But the moment spent without you Are all that I remember Another day, another life We thought we knew the things you felt The system breathes, the lion talks The former dream is changing hands But the moment spent without you Are all that I remember But the moment spent without you Are all that I remember Now there’s no need to be afraid We will never forget everything that you said, ah The great unknown where people leave Where all in all, there’s no goodbye Your sister weeps, your brother sighs A souvenir for hanging onto Your sister weeps, your brother sighs The souvenir will never fade But the moment spent without you Are all that I remember But the moment spent without you Are all that I remember

I look into the mirror and at first glance I think I am the same but I don’t recognize my face When you and I were laughing, all things were different then Now all humors just a clouded memory I turn direction toward you. I try and meet your gaze. A simple smile I thought was there then quickly lost Although your name escapes me – you’d think I’d know by now But all these words are mixed in clouded memory Am I to die still waiting? Can I be reassured? Without photographic proof I would forget My giant taunts obscenely. my giant curses me. Surviving detail of a vision that is gone. This is my last encounter with things that I adore Into these depths I see a glimpse of what is lost. My world of passion waiting – my world of massacre. Should I have finished what was started long ago. Can I commit to memory these things that wander endlessly? Can I commit to memory these things that wander endlessly? Or are they gone forever? Are they gone forever?

Hey now, don’t be sad Just hold my hand, I won’t let go It’s a new day, another chance to dry your eyes – we’ll be alright So clear your mind and brush it all aside Sometimes things are sad and life just seems so out of hand You can find me – I’ll be right here to understand, we’ll give it time to heal our wounds and brush it all aside

Plagiarism 04:53
Maybe just a dream or maybe heard before, locked in your memory Ask if you can keep these things you say before they vanish Somewhere there is mass, unused, discarded words for you to say them. Somewhere there is mass, unused, discarded words for you to say them Somewhere there is mass, unused, discarded words for you to say them Somewhere there is never heard, discarded words for you to say them

The tide in the winter flows cold once again The warmth of the cinder burns ‘til ashes fade The song in a whisper grows old through the age The tiger in winter does not notice change We found a new road hidden down beneath the dust Drowning halfway in between this life and that death Another someday is all we walk toward What once was causing pain is now a new thought. The tide in the winter flows cold once again The warmth of the cinder burns ‘til ashes fade The song in a whisper grows old through the age The tiger in winter does not notice change We took a shortcut trying to make our way Caught in a time between this life and that death Into this darkness we fall and stumble The cries aloud, the cries aloud for all the rest to hear The tiger in winter The tiger in winter The tiger in winter Why can’t we stay here a little longer Or does it seem a blur – this life and that death The ultimatum presented in this way The claws, the claws protrude - unexpected endings.

I'll walk along the sky and see the reaches of the sea with you beside me run in open air swim underneath the setting sun with you beside me your time will come again the calls of all who will prevail with you beside me mountains moving still and my words crumble with the wind with you beside me
