2. Cold Icelandic Winter

Góða nótt elskan mín
The covers tucked up tight around your head
Your arm holding Teddy tight within
To keep you safe and warm all night in your bed
I kiss your cheek and turn out the light
Outside the wind is blowing the snow around
I think there will be a storm tonight
But I will keep you safe and warm

I look outside through my window
Watch the storm for a while
Then I see him coming home
Bottle of vodka in his hand
So much for a quiet evening
This is not what I had planned

The shouting starts straight away
And the dishes start to fly
He‘s so drunk he makes no sense to me at all
In the end he turns and slams the door

Then I feel your soft hand shaking in mine
You must have watched it all from the door
You lay your head resting on my shoulder
I wish you didn‘t witness this this at all
And now all through cold Icelandic winter
Each night you sit wait him to return
Warm dressing gown and those funny bunny slippers
By the fireside as we try to keep it burning

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Ein so seltsames Album ist mir lange nicht mehr untergekommen. Der Track „Blood Of The Rose“ lässt den Hörer die Stirn in Falten ziehen. Eine zuckersüße, liebliche, kitschige Melodie dringt an das Ohr des Hörers. So säuselt der Song eine Weile vor sich hin, bis er plötzlich etwa bei Halbzeit (es handelt sich um einen 10minüter) komplett die Stimmung wechselt und plötzlich mit zupackender Gitarre und Sprech-Gesang in einen floydige Bluesrock-Hymne umschlägt... sehr kurios!
