lyrics
Act Of Vengeance
Count your breaths and count yourself
A creature of the uncommonwealth
Your lightning veins shock hell to high heaven
I vaulted every shrine to find
Your unbeaten heart, your drumming mind
You cranked the revolution up a level
Waves of madness blown against us
Swollen suits and dream-dementors
With ice pick eyes we’ll chip away their stone-cold lies
I see the ocean bears resemblance
To your dance, an act of vengeance
One day, baby, you’ll bring down the whole damn cliffside!
We’ve been convalescing loud and proud
Plug your ears but we’re screaming now
That’s a seismic shift that you can feel
Come rage around your books and maps
The change is coming thick and fast
High time a fresh breed took the wheel
The music moves you through dimensions
Dream out loud, it’s an act of vengeance
Can you feel the grip around your spirit weaken?
The galaxies in you are endless
Your lust for life, an act of vengeance
Set yourself alight, you might be someone else’s beacon
Man alive!
So I strap my boots on, pound the earth
Go looking for that primal thirst
The spark that lit the fuse on every story
There’s Bessie belting out the truth
A Bronte spilling ink as proof
That every vision is some act of glory
I got sucked into plug hole eyes
Cradled love in the psych-ward light
On the edge you can really see the future rise
There goes hatred passing sentence
Loving yourself’s an act of vengeance
Wake up to who you are, you got them mesmerised!

I love these alternative versions of the 'Murmuration' songs. The stripped down instrumentation creates an intimite vibe, while the poem intertwines them into a concept-like album. As a result, this is a new album that stands out on its own and that is more than just a complement to 'Murmuration'. 'Ordinary' already was a beautiful song, yet 'Extraordinary' adds something extra for me. And because the piano intro somehow calls up some recognition. Another beautiful album by Emily Barker! rbergman
Inspired by John Carpenter’s 1974 film “Dark Star,” the beautifully moody songs on this LP present a voyage into the unknown. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2021

Kris, this is a fantastic record. I don’t normally get as excited over best of’s, but this is so well done. New versions of already excellent songs, bringing new perspectives and some excellent new songs to boot. I highly recommend it; anyone that’s thinking “naw it’s just a mash-up of existing songs”, it’s definitely not - buy it, you won’t regret it. poolo
