Seasons in Exile (Album 3)

by Unquiet Nights

supported by

EclecticMusicLover "Seasons in Exile" is a well-executed concept album that tells the saga of Diamond and the Missing Son, characters introduced to us in the opening track, as we follow along on the Missing Son's search to find his place in this world, with Diamond as his North Star. Luke Mathers' vibrant, soaring guitars are fortified with spine-tingling riffs, while Rodger Firmin's muscular drumbeats propel the hard-driving rhythms forward. As always, Mathers' vocals are equal parts commanding and pleasing.

1.	Diamond and the Missing Son 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Tonight so we roll the dice If just to stop and pray for paradise to come through Straight in to the dark Straight into something looking for the spark that we knew No thinking of tomorrow We only got today You are the only thing that keeps me hanging on And on and on There's nothing else could ever come between us 'cause we are The diamond and the missing son Diamond, you should know Nothing and no one makes me feel anything like you do For all the things you show There's always something that leaves we wondering and blind and confused No thinking of tomorrow We only got today You are the only thing that keeps me hanging on And on and on There's nothing else could ever come between us 'cause we are The diamond and the missing son
2.	Break Through The Waves 03:54	lyrics	buy track
I was thinking I should run Sense the game cannot be won Become the missing son, pretty much disappear Cause I ain't got a role In this life I am on my own Got danger in the home, that much is clear Didn't we break through the waves The seasons changing in me Didn't we break through the waves of a loveless sea Didn't we stand by the guns That saw us overcome, pretty much everything I could hear you talking loud Memories of that sweet surround But there ain't no sword of justice here Well take me as I am This is my line in the sand Things are far from how they might appear Didn't we break through the waves The seasons changing in me Didn't we break through the waves of a loveless sea Didn't we stand by the guns That saw us overcome, pretty much everything

5.	Things Could Be So Good For You 03:30	lyrics	buy track
In a conversation high When we would walk for miles Though the city kind of flickers at night This one never seems to die When I first arrived I was broke Now I got just enough to cope You said put your faith to the test See those words turn into flesh Things could be so good for you Things could be so good for you Still kind of feeling the sting I don't take for granted anything You should take your own advice Stop asking twice See how that building is lit One day I'm gonna own a piece of it You said put your faith to the test See those words turn into flesh Things could be so good for you Things could be so good for you If you think these things just can't be done Waiting for a sign then I can show you one Things could be so good for you Things could be so good for you
6.	This Is My Oxygen 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Morning light has left a calm complexion Throwing golden circles on the street Hopelessness has gone with no direction home to me So tomorrow night I'm leaving early People seem to think they can tell me what I need I followed their beliefs on what's expected Followed them until they were following me I heard my chance was wearing thin But now they see those colours creeping in In silence I hear victory This is the oxygen I wanna breathe This is the oxygen I wanna breathe I set my bag down at the front desk I asked for lucky number nine I took my keys and got to thinking It's better if I stay here for a while There were photographs of winners And the golden age of rat pack on the wall Some strangers threw some pennies in the fountain Then disappeared like they weren't there at all I heard my chance was wearing thin But now they see those colours creeping in In silence I hear victory This is the oxygen I wanna breathe This is the oxygen I wanna breathe This is the oxygen I wanna breathe
7.	You Are My Wilderness 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Just give me a reason To turn my back on everything I've done I'm waiting on a change in season Some day what's lost can still be won We twist, we play them as they come But some mistakes they can't ever be undone Maybe it was fate that took us on this ride Or maybe we just had this need inside? You are my wilderness You are my wilderness In truth, it was just a judgement call Sometimes things don't make much sense at all But I can feel it in the air, and read those warning signs An ascent into those blinding heights Maybe it was fate, but it ain't make believe I can feel an angel watching me You are my wilderness You are my wilderness You are my wilderness You are my wilderness
8.	High Conviction Play 03:25	lyrics	buy track
It was a high conviction play, but we took it all the way Sometimes it all seems crystal clear And I ain't ever seen a ceiling so high It looks as though it was painted to the sky Where we started is a long way out from here So, I forget myself some times But didn't it such a long way down the line? So I cut just a little close to the bone But you know I couldn't have done it on my own? Colour blind in the worst kind of way 'Cause I don't see those shades of grey So many things don't seem to matter all that much to me But in the distance I can see the end Coming faster than that bullet train I've been running to escape my own anxiety So, I forget myself some times But didn't it such a long way down the line? So I cut just a little close to the bone But you know I couldn't have done it on my own? I looked ahead just as the elevator beeped I checked my phone and looked down to the street Outside everything was burning hot Right below where we used to sleep I could hear the dogs barking in the street Sometimes it seems like everything comes down to just one shot....
9.	Just Another Sun Going Down 03:42	lyrics	buy track
See the rooftops stretch from view Raise a glass to your chosen few See the bright sun going down Hear the bottle as as it hits the ground Here's to those who wish us well And those who don't can go straight to hell They knew for sure we wouldn't be around But it was just another sun going down Take one look back through the gates 'Cause you know we won't be back again Raise a glass to the ones you know We changed how the story should go Here's to those who wish us well And those who don't can go straight to hell They knew for sure we wouldn't be around But it was just another sun going down Here's to those who wish us well And those who don't can go straight to hell They knew for sure we wouldn't be around But it was just another sun going down
10.	Thuja Green 03:43	lyrics	buy track
Everyone gotta choose What they want, and what they wanna lose I saw it in a dream Among the autumn leaves I found myself in a way And all my senses seem to say That it was with me in the wind Every vessel of blood within The sunlight breaking through those trees The rows and rows of Thuja Green I'm going to find my way by spring Just trying to make sense of everything I was standing by a bridge that day A thousand voices seem to say That soon I would be free From the scenes unfolding under me These streets ain't paved with gold Many flamed out by the road Still I don't regret a thing Said my reflection in the stream The sunlight breaking through those trees The rows and rows of Thuja Green I'm going to find my way by spring Just trying to make sense of everything
