These are rich sonic landscapes, visiting places haunting, beautiful, spectral and secret. The Matheos/Alder partnership is taken to some new and wonderful places here,” Wagner concludes. “Really Good Terrible Things“ shows the breadth and versatility of the acclaimed pair, along with a freshness that belies their long musical partnership. “We both still love making music and we really enjoy working together. There’s a good amount of chemistry there, I think,” Matheos shares. “We both know what to expect from each other.” North Sea Echoes - lineup Jim Matheos – guitar Ray Alder – vocals North Sea Echoes online LYRICS: Strange, how the sunlight feels on my skin Like a hand that’s warm And the day finds my with another drink in my hand Shine on, shine on Wait, now the clouds form the incoming storm Guess I should have known From the way that my thoughts had given way to a song Hang on Higher than any mountaintop Lower than the deepest sea I know sometimes it feels like We’re walking around in circles endlessly Breathe as the smoke from another cigarette Swirls around my head And I lean against the wall and contemplate going to bed When will the rain stop? Higher than any mountaintop Lower than the deepest sea I know sometimes it feels like We’re walking around in circles endlessly Mourning the death of memory Silence is all I speak I confess that’s a funeral That I won’t attend consciously The battle of self we face it all alone With nobody’s help we save ourselves There’s no throwing stones Now the sunlight begins to creep in I guess I’ll try again Higher than any mountaintop Lower than the deepest sea I know sometimes it feels like We’re walking around in circles endlessly Mourning the death of memory Silence is all I speak I confess that’s a funeral That I won’t attend consciously
