TheNightTimeProject - Merkurius (Official Video)

Calm and melancholic, THENIGHTTIMEPROJECT’s new single ‘Merkurius’ ventures on into Prog-Rock territory without losing the severity and gravity the Swedes are known for. Combining the touching simplicity of ANTIMATTER’s early works with the best genre-breaking bands like GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR have to offer, Fredrik Norrman (OCTOBER TIDE, ex-KATATONIA) and Alexander Backlund (LETTERS FROM THE COLONY) readily take up the strengths of their latest, “Pale Season” (2019), and develop them further. Alexander’s voice in combination with the soothing melodies evoke an almost dreamlike state in the heart and mind of the listener. Altogether, ‘Merkurius’ is nothing less than a unique blend of Nordic nostalgia.

Lyrics:
“
A minute is a day here
My words remain in thought cause no one listens anymore
I’ve wondered past a point
Into a desert of the heart, a barren wasteland of the soul
Noting grows here

Rivers carved me hollow, endless miles of arid scars
I’ve tracked your footprints on these fractured banks
The memories we bled into the sand

I’ve plunged the glacial depths of your eyes
It would’ve been so nice to drown there

Scorching sun of never ending days
Scorching sun
I’m without a well, a way, a place to disappear

An hour is an age here
My words remain unspoken, sound is muted, light is broken miles below
In recollection
You were perfect and unending, I was stubborn and pretending that
On the longest journey, on the brightest day…
We need the shadows more (on the longest journey)
We need the shadows more (on the longest journey, on the brightest day)
“
