lyrics

Standing in a place that I should know
But it doesn’t seem at all familiar
I dare not move for a moment
Whilst I’m trying to get some kind of bearing
To recognize these shapes and these shadows
I can see and thought I knew
Now panic is setting in as I still can’t work it out
And a mass of jumbled thoughts are running through my head
Confusing and so disorientating
And suddenly everything has all gone blank

Recognition and communication systems appear to be failing
The wiring inside me is slowly becoming faulty
My being is slowly disappearing

I’m filling up this thing that makes the water go hot
To make some drinks for people in another room whose names escape me
I know that I should know them but I don’t recognize their faces
Even the words and the conversations seem so alien to me

I don’t know who I am
I can’t even recall my name
I don’t know what I’ve ever done
I don’t know where I’ve come from

Although I feel warm and cozy in what I think is my home
So many people around me are giving me so much love and affection
But it makes me feel so nervous as I don’t know who I can trust
Constantly Feeling anxious, constantly feeling afraid and alone

I don’t know who I am
I can’t even recall my name
I don’t know what I’ve ever done
I don’t know where I’ve come from

No, I don’t know who I am
I don’t even know about my history
I can’t even think about my future
I am just here in the now and that is all

In rare moments of lucidity which pepper my universe of darkness
Trying to piece together a world that I once knew, embraced and loved
Trying to remember and picture those in my life who loved me too
I hope so much that they are the ones who surround me now until I leave for the last time

I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
Anything at all
Goodnight
Goodbye……

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

supported by 50 fans who also own “The Long Goodbye”

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential. Crinklechips

Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music. Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts. tonyauroristony58

Common Ground
by Big Big Train

supported by 41 fans who also own “The Long Goodbye”

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
