Leave 06:44
Husky gusts in the dusk as the nightfall burrows With its tusks, it leaves you ashiver to wallow in this hollow Of a hometown, all so rundown; I pull the laces On your nightgown, by gods we’re young It’s so much fun; it’s still no crime to fly Soar high, whatever Moon abides, we’d try And see just where that gets us – and if it gets us somewhere Where it’s right, let’s have one ride And if we like, we’ll go again, we’ll fling the land Go brushing by beneath us – that’s how I see us The winds will bite with drizzle swirls The warmth will shy away and clouds will whirl But we’d still fly, ‘cause that’s what’s right Since you’re the one, since you’re the girl That’s meant to stay And gods – they may Leave for good Forsaken in the outskirts, still shaking Through the bites of the cold, a trip worth making We’re by the lake now; I’d like to take you For a swim, it’s not a whim, don’t be so grim You’re slim but strong, there’s nothing wrong with us Alas, the stars knew better than twinkling at us And here we are: no noise of cars, No city spasms, off with the brass Of nightly rants, and sudden screams Which pierce the cream of the morning sky that lies with us tonight

On the outside of you Trickling with all the lure I am falling Snow is falling It all is coming to an end We are coming to an end Simply knowing Is appalling If you were but a dream I’d live Dreaming Could your lies be foreseen I’d keep Believing Your every word Snow will blow away But the cold will stay Stepping in your every footstep White frost on the glass This will never pass I’ll remember, see it’s well-kept Your every word

Stay 05:00
Why so much shame and fear in simple words? The cracks aren’t cracks, should we decide to call them fjords There’s simply no way for this getting any worse I feel used up, and that’s because… These boxes pull the tissues of my heart apart And is there any way that you could heal a broken heart? It pains me seeing you ever so far away What harm could it all do, if you just stayed? Why hanging up before I say important stuff? Is leaving me through your eyes not enough? How could I ever get this all so wrong? That all the truth there is you’re gone Stay I pray And I never pray But beg don’t leave today

White Lines 05:59
Do we have to wait till our love is gone? Do we have to wait till our lives will change? All our love's like a crooked street It always ends up very strange. There's only past that left no trace There's only pain you feel so deep There is the feeling of your empty space Dream is sinking away like a ship --- And our white lines Do not create a cross And our strange lives Leave nothing but remorse... --- Put on your clothes, get out of your house Make up your mind and live up to your dream Follow the silence and follow the stars These strange collisions blaze deep in the steam

Why have we gone this far? You’re not claiming I’m not lame again. Let’s leave the door ajar; Who knows if we know it’s gonna rain. No. Sway to the lashing of the waves, This water isn’t deep at all. Wade in some more and feel it swathe You even tighter, hear it call. Why do I waste your time? You keep smiling, my words filing out. Let’s say it all in chime: We are what we were, there’s no doubt. Go. Sway to the lashing of the waves, This water isn’t deep at all. Wade in some more and feel it swathe You even tighter, hear it call, the undertow. This season’s greetings are so loud, Postcards fly homes, leaves wither dead. Just one more heave and this whole town Knows just the way it’s gonna end. We shall not bend. It’s wrapping us, now can you feel it too? The blood – I can feel it turn cool. The lips – I can tell they are hot. We’re here meant to hear all sounds stop.

Like a Wolf 04:43
Try to hear it like a wolf Try to feel it like a snake Try to see it, like an owl Splashing as fish in the lake Try to stand still as a stone Try to leak out as the sand Try to last long as a bone And be all that in the end You know Your voice Will make a miracle, I want to have that choice Just to hear you Try to see it way through time Try to feel it on my skin Try to hear it in my breath Try to go along and spin my heart beats with thy steps Coffee keeping me alive I feel that the earth revolves As my life goes by...

One Way 07:00

Immobile 05:03
This stasis I don’t comprehend You flicker on the border somewhat I’m reaching out to make it end You smile and bring me to a halt I wish it lasted all day through I wish we stayed this immobile I’m watching you in your light blue I think I could stay through the night So here I am But better yet is here you are You are my shepherd, I’m your lamb That goes OK by me so far Sunlight seeps through the curtains drawn Our lives today are in no rush There will fall dusk, there’ll be a dawn Let’s skip the rest – hush I wish it lasted all day through I wish we stayed this immobile I’m watching you in your light blue I think I could stay through my life

about

The Russian-Lithuanian band Drift presents its new long-play Commotion. The album comprises three re-mastered tracks from earlier releases, six new songs and an instrumental.

This is their first release recorded by the new lineup, including two vocalists – Irena Wiszniewska and Denis Kugay. Other musicians taking part in the recording were: Pavel Vinitsky and Yegor Moskal – guitars; Vlad Plotnikov – trumpet; Yuri Strekalovsky – bass; Boris Nikitin – programming and mixing; and Alexander Boyarkov – keyboards, guitars, programming and mixing. All lyrics to the songs were written by Denis Kugay and Alexander Boyarkov.

The band worked for over a year in their studio, recording and mixing this album. Electronic pieces were programmed, vocal tracks and live instruments were recorded, and all that was followed by scrupulous editing and mixing. This resulted in an emotionally charged and diverse release, with the expressive singing by Denis alternated by the melodic and quiet tracks with Irena’s vocals, and the crispy electronica is interlaced by the passionate trumpet and guitars.

The album is coming out as a digital release available in the largest Internet shops for media content, as well as on a disk. If you find you like this album, you can return your thanks buying it at driftproject.bandcamp.com
