lyrics
there is something wrong
this old pinocchio nose
has grown a league or two
and the big whale's mouth is closed
I was always strong
could never be undersold
kept my eyes, ever so high
ever so cold
days are shorter now
my motherland is locked down
across the ocean
I smell a burning town
now I know fear
and it has no metaphor
all my lines losing their
rhymes as you head for the door
before you go
don't make me a lonely pine
low water line
if I shame you so
remember the morning tide
is long where the night boats row
this old pinocchio nose
has grown a league or two
and the big whale's mouth is closed
I was always strong
could never be undersold
kept my eyes, ever so high
ever so cold
days are shorter now
my motherland is locked down
across the ocean
I smell a burning town
now I know fear
and it has no metaphor
all my lines losing their
rhymes as you head for the door
before you go
don't make me a lonely pine
low water line
if I shame you so
remember the morning tide
is long where the night boats row

Imaginary Mountains
by Ghost Rhythmssupported by 4 fans who also own “Night Boats”
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.
