lyrics

Somewhere Else,
Somewhere Else the tide awaits,
Somewhere Else the child awaits a sign,
Somewhere Else the tide is waiting, but the child awaits a sign

Gazing towards the horizon,
I felt at once here and elsewhere
The line I drew divided me in two
Into or in from the outside I grew,
and the branches kissed the roots
Where I live is between the island and metropolis,
waiting with the silence

As the end of the road drew near,
I realised at last that no matter where I am
I want to be Somewhere Else,

far away, where the sun retains its majesty,
curled with a comforting memory.
Past lives of Nowhere, Nobody

Quiet, the city conspires with the night to drive me out,
back to the garden where I belong
I can't cross The Rift

I could show you the view from here,
but I fear you would not see what I see
After all, the ellipsis horizon paints a lifelike frame
and it's easy to get lost in a place we never reach

As the end of the road drew near the horizon beckoned
and for all of the miles I'd come, I felt like leaving home

Fertile Ground

This time, there's really nothing to moan about! I've criticized the band's previous two albums for containing too much pointless improvisations, while, at the same time, I highly appreciated the brilliant songwriting. "Farmhouse Odyssey" have used the past three years wisely for perfecting the latter, and I like the way they root their music in the sound of the 70's, while avoiding the annoying stereotypes of this decade. I'm especially pleased to find a 12-minute track here, that doesn't sound like assembled from parts in the beginner's prog construction kit. Sven B. Schreiber

You Have a Chance
by Camelias Garden

supported by 5 fans who also own “Somewhere Else”

Frankly, I like this album much more than the successor "Kite". The compositions are more elaborate, and the sequence of songs has a gorgeous overall flow. The music is clearly rooted in 70's Italian prog, with an obvious affinity to early Steve Hackett and Genesis ("Wind & Wuthering" era). Sven B. Schreiber
