INTRO FURIOSO

EXPOSITION: TWILIGHT BAR I & II

Sun, fading in the heavens.
Dusk, softly starts to fall.
Light, from windows 'cross these cold fields.
Stars, quietly call
to the ones who walk these dark and lonely evening paths.
They don't know their names.

Silent waves 'cross silent seas.

Unlatch the gate and leave the garden.
It's not important anymore.
The galaxies spiral around us.
We stand amidst a million shores,
falling, falling,
through the sky.

Thats when they say, "(you're) not from around here"
Thats when they say, "(you're) not from around here"

Listen, listen the silence is deafening.
Listen, listen to the distant howls.
Planets rise and rise over this town.
They don't know their names.

Silent waves 'cross silent seas

Come on outside and watch the moon-rise.
Unlock your door and come with me.
I'm not convinced anything matters.
The stop signs or what's on TV.
Falling, falling.

Thats when you say, "(you're) not from around here"
Thats when you say, "(you're) not from around here"

DEVELOPMENT: NOCTURNE AND THEME & VARIATIONS

Are you sleeping?
Are you awake?
Moonlight gathers us away.
Are you listening?
Can you hear?
Falling, falling through these years.
Falling here with me.

Are you sleeping?
Are you awake?
Moonlight pools in every step we take,
(in) every wish we make.


RECAPITULATION: ORBIT BAR

Infinite space, rises from around us.
Galaxies, form around our head.
Look, out past the horizon.
Gravity, pulls our hearts instead.

Walk with me,
in fields of strange attractions.
Cold, and dark energy.
See, our lives are connected.
But we lose, everything we have.

(you're) not from around here

Open your eyes, we're all from 'round here!
Open your eyes, we're all from 'round here!
Horizons wide, we're all from 'round here!
Open your eyes, we're all from 'round here!
Open your eyes, we're all from 'round here!

about

The Rebel Wheel image

The Rebel Wheel Ottawa, Ontario

Steeped in dark cinematic soundscapes and complex, turn-on-a-dime arrangements, The Rebel Wheel features a frenetic mix of rock aggression, complex compositions and unpredictable odd-meter vamps. Originally formed in 1991 as a fusion-based midi ensemble, the floating lineup has gradually focused on a modern, more performance-oriented, genre-blending Prog. ... more
