In time there'll be an easing of the pain
We'll share the load that weighs so heavy on our lives
In time we'll find the road we used to know
Walk in the footsteps of the souls we survived
Read between the lines on the pages
Of the stories you were told
Of the years as they unfolded
Read between the lines on the faces
And the hands you got hold
There's a chronicle of stolen souls
In time we'll find a way to write the lines
And the words will flow like sand through an hour glass
In time we'll find a way to map our lives
And negotiate the space between the future and the past
Read between the lines on the pages
Of the stories you were told
Of the years as they unfolded
Read between the lines on the faces
And the hands you got hold
There's a chronicle of stolen souls

Lead guitarist for Neo-Prog band, Airbag, has released this solo recording, and as expected, there is plenty of guitar goodness all through it. He brings in other musicians to fill out the band, as well as being joined at times by a female vocalist. The lyrics are thoughtful and often mournful, with a wealth of dynamic tension and release, musically. It becomes more striking with each listen, as, deceptively, there is much to ponder here. Nickie Harte Kelly
Subdued and elegiac songs from Tom Kelly that have the grandeur of classical music, the technicality of prog, and the sweep of synthwave. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 6, 2020
