A new song! Music, vocals, video by UK composer Colin Mold. Lyrics: Cindy L Spear. This is part of a current project (novel 1 of 3) based on one of my characters. Colin Mold created this lovely video of our song collaboration. Empty Sky is a teaser trailer for the story that includes a Canadian Irish sailor caught in a storm off the east coast of United States. He is washed ashore and awakens without memory of who he is and the people he has left behind. Hope you watch and enjoy it! More details on the Trilogy will follow in time.

But I can share a link to a new song for Book 2 set on the English Moors inspired by Emily Bronte’s novel: Wuthering Heights. To hear Passing Through: Go here!

A little background on UK Composer, Vocalist, Multi-instrumentalist Colin Mold:
He is founding member of folk-rock band KARA and past touring member of the well known prog rock band KARNATAKA. He also released three solo albums: Water of Divinity, Girl on the Castle Steps and Now You See Me. Along with his own writing, the latter two CDs include a number of Cindy L Spear’s lyrics. Plus on the Castle CD there’s an appearance by Irish piper/Irish whistle musician Martin Nolan of IONA.

“Colin Mold, is a musician that understands mood, melody and atmosphere by relying on a profound sense of melancholia, as well as the classic instrumentations that bedeck the legendary British progressive folk music scene.” (Prog Archives)

Reviews of Girl on the Castle Steps:

• “Shimmering halos of ethereal sounds find words wrapped in elegant beauty.” (Prog Archives)

• “When you are in the mood for an intricately crafted set of songs that carries you away on sumptuous melodies and evocative imagery, then you’ll find the memorable music that Colin Mold lovingly creates to be a most wonderful escape from everyday life.” Steven Reid (Rocktopia)

Review of Now You See Me:

• “The quality of the material is off the charts, a truly magnificent set of songs. Another gorgeous and highly quixotic musical adventure, the real Colin Mold has shown himself again.” Thomas Szirmay (Prog Archives).

EMPTY SKY

 

I’m so confused, where do I belong

I thought I knew but I was wrong

Can’t find my way on this starless night

My ship is lost on these waves of white

 

Help me find you, Love, on this winter sea

Give my heart a map and explain my dreams

I can only see an empty sky

The moon is dark, there is no light

 

Truly sad I go from this autumn scene

All the leaves are gone, just a naked tree

So far from you and your deep green eyes

Know this is true that my lips don’t lie

 

Help me find you, Love, in the passing gold

Where I long for peace from this haunted soul

I can only see an empty sky

The moon is dark, there is no light

 

Like a wounded bird on a snowy hill

I am held in place but against my will

I can only watch while the seasons change

For I cannot fly to your arms again

 

Help me find you, Love, on this lonely road

Give my heart a map, be my guide and hope

I can only see an empty sky

The moon is dark, there is no light

 

Spoken:

Can you hear me Angel, above the storm?

Through the mist and fears and the scars I’ve worn

I will search for you in the ageless dawn

I will find you, always, even when I’m gone.
