Darkness (Searching For Catharsis) 04:41
lyrics
Darkness ======== I live the life of a truant I like to contemplate darkness But when I start to daydream My mind turns straight to silence Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes I notice the way I think about silence with a smile Curved lips just can't disguise But I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile I need to walk in the shadows I need to dance in the rain But when I'm left alone My mind turns straight to silence Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes I notice the way I think about silence with a smile Curved lips just can't disguise But I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile I get lost in the chaos And die in the mundane And I only seem happy when My mind turns straight to silence Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes I notice the way I think about silence with a smile Curved lips just can't disguise But I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile Oh yeah One more time… Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes I notice the way I think about silence with a smile Curved lips just can't disguise But I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile And I think it's darkness making My life worthwhile

Before The Rain (Searching For Catharsis) 04:48
lyrics
Before The Rain ============== Seven years have passed since I last held your hand Seven years it has been hard for me to live without you Yet somewhere deep inside I know there is light Oh, there is light Through the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain In the cul-de-sac I will come back To that night before the rain Still I don't know what happened on that dark lonely night The sidewalk was broken and the shadows were deeper Than I had ever seen in my life And somehow I just knew I could feel, feel you Somehow I just knew I could still feel you Somehow I could just feel I could just feel I could feel Through the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain In the cul-de-sac I will come back To that night before the rain Before the rain… There's a whisper, just a whisper of pain In the darkness I'll wrap myself in shadows so I could remain So I could remain, so I could remain out of the rain I could remain out of the rain Through the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain In the cul-de-sac I will come back To that night before the rain Through the cul-de-sac maybe I'll come back To that night before the rain To that night before the rain To that night before the rain Before the rain…

Dream (Searching For Catharsis) 04:28
lyrics
Dream ====== I dreamed I saw one night By the fires of a pagan rite An old stone of yore Ready to divulge its lore And as I sat and listened A voice came upon the wind: "Be free my love Be free my love" And in the spirit world above The Æs Sidhe fly in love They sing a song for the earth below Where empty smiles get shown And as I sat to hear All that one day would be clear The sun faded out The sun faded out And I banished myself… And in the frozen recesses of my mind All the unholy shackled began to climb Their life is nearly done But once again I am alone Silence explodes goodbye Goodbye one last time And as I gently awoke Someone softly spoke: "Be free my love Be free my love"

The Fields Of Light (Searching For Catharsis) 04:36
lyrics
The Fields Of Light ================ Wiping the tears from my eyes I know I shouldn't cry But with you're light gone I know I'm alone This world in tatters And the glass shattered And you run away You run away Into the light Out of the storm All through the night And into the unknown To the fields of light The fields of light Sunlight fading low Fading out And all I want to do now Is shout This town going under And the rivers flowing with thunder And I'll run away Come back another day And I'll run away I'll run away Into the light Out of the storm All through the night And into the unknown To the fields of light The fields of light

Ecstasy (Searching For Catharsis) 07:06

Ecstasy ======= To bathe in the waters of life To wash off the not human I come in self-anihilation And the grandeur of inspiration

about

No one can dispute that the past two years have been challenging. Sometimes the best way to handle all the stress & chaos in one's life is to pick up a guitar & let one's feelings be completely exposed.

That is what happened on October 3, 2021. Candle had reached a point in his life where stress & worry were beginning to overwhelm his entire life. So he picked up his guitar, logged onto a streaming service & just played. He didn't care if there was anyone out there listening. He just needed to play - to express his feelings in that particular moment in time.

This is a chronicle of that performance.

See You In The Shadows…
