lyrics
I gave my suitcase
to the baggage man
whose leather hands remind me
that the last one
is the longest mile
I said "take me anywhere the ferry blows"
and I pulled out a smile
I was a lucky traveller
never missed the final plane
always searching for the point
where mountains meet the sea
never thought you'd show me
how broad the variation could be
you wind your latitude about me
sunshine 'round the corner of my gloom
could find pretty boys to pout me
but I rather would rather would find you
but for all the deepening lines
and necessary changes
that brought you to the deck
to smoke that last cigar
I would have wasted all my
bold, late-night exchanges on falling stars
you wind your latitude about me
sunshine 'round the corner of my gloom
could find pretty boys to pout me
but I rather would rather would find you
holy leavening, holy leavening
take away, take away all this floor
four and fiving and six and sevening
never no never no, no, no more
oh oh been out of the sun into the moon
but there's something so right
in this cocoon
you and I float the highest balloon
you wind your latitude about me
sunshine 'round the corner of my gloom
could find pretty boys to pout me
but I rather would rather would find you
to the baggage man
whose leather hands remind me
that the last one
is the longest mile
I said "take me anywhere the ferry blows"
and I pulled out a smile
I was a lucky traveller
never missed the final plane
always searching for the point
where mountains meet the sea
never thought you'd show me
how broad the variation could be
you wind your latitude about me
sunshine 'round the corner of my gloom
could find pretty boys to pout me
but I rather would rather would find you
but for all the deepening lines
and necessary changes
that brought you to the deck
to smoke that last cigar
I would have wasted all my
bold, late-night exchanges on falling stars
you wind your latitude about me
sunshine 'round the corner of my gloom
could find pretty boys to pout me
but I rather would rather would find you
holy leavening, holy leavening
take away, take away all this floor
four and fiving and six and sevening
never no never no, no, no more
oh oh been out of the sun into the moon
but there's something so right
in this cocoon
you and I float the highest balloon
you wind your latitude about me
sunshine 'round the corner of my gloom
could find pretty boys to pout me
but I rather would rather would find you

Imaginary Mountains
by Ghost Rhythmssupported by 4 fans who also own “Latitude”
No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-)

This is a fantastic, cinematic listen of precise movements and virtuosic rhythmic switch ups. Zero dull moments, a rollercoaster ride of prog rock.

got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days.
