Harp - Throne Of Amber (Lyric Video)

Credit must be given to the great William Blake for the chorus lyrics (paraphrased)

Throne Of Amber lyrics:

In the early hours of dawn
Through the garden where the flowers hung
Where the favored ones are waited on
And the weaker ones are filled with song
Well I went mad, I was mad

Surely there’s another way
You know I’ve searched forever
Now the years are only fleeing
Oh

Bring me an axe
Bring me a spade
Bring me a winding sheet
For my grave
And let thy winds
And the tempest beat
And I’ll lie down as cold as clay

Where’s the warm and piercing sun
You know I can’t remember
Long before the violent sea
Surrounded me in misery
I heard their voices something like wings

Bring me an axe
Bring me a spade
Bring me a winding sheet
For my grave
And let thy winds
And the tempest beat
And I’ll lie down as cold as clay

Damn this album gets me through my days at work, stuck in an office and long drives. Hope you make much more like this. This album is incredible on my ears! Well worth owning it.

If I had a voice like this, I would travel the world in search of abandoned castles and cathedrals, and sing in them to be enveloped in the warm embrace of that voice and its reverberation

Have waited almost ten years for this album, and Tim has not disappointed!

[KevinniveK]

After only having heard 3 songs from Albion, I’m convinced that this will be my album of the year this year, and it doesn’t even seem close. So incredibly haunting and beautiful. I have missed Tim Smith so much since Courage of Others!

[robmaciver]

Such a beautiful song Tim & Kathi. Thank you. Absolute music to my ears. 🥰🥰

[EliJanish-lh]

Surpassed expectations! This music has enriched my soul greatly, and my day is made.

[mmwakeford]

Love this. Something about this reminds me of a Radiohead song.

[Dan-zrem]

Ethereal and atmospheric, first of many listens..

[timsands]

Good things come to those who wait. I was beginning to wonder if Tim would ever make more music.

[PeteC]

The jangly guitars remind me of the Fields of the Nephilim in their lighter moments, nice. But I still can't make out a word Tim is signing 😂

From his Bandcamp page: "Smith had been working for years on a set of new tracks for his debut album but he set them aside and began again when a new source of inspiration arrived. “Along came ‘80s music, ” he explains. “I knew of bands and I had heard the odd song, but I had never dug deep into Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, The Smiths, Tears For Fears before. The major album for me though was The Cure’s Faith, which I listened to non-stop for three years. That music really resonated with me, so I was led in a different direction, which took a long time to figure out, because I was on my own, learning how to record better, mix better, write better.”

[benday]

feels like Winter of civilisation music. Maybe they'll listen to this after the end, those who are left.

That amber was glowing inside chris cornell, he is dead
