Fragments

by Bootblacks

supported by

Thee Childlike Empress So cold, you can almost see your breath... Favorite track: For You (Lois).

rikm More Post Punk/Goth awesomeness from Bootblacks, an exceptional album that stands with the best in the genre. Solid musicianship, tight songs, it really doesn't get any better than this, does it?

Atom No. 47 It's an album that I've been listening to over and over again since I first heard it... if you love synth pop, new wave, cold wave etc... you owe it to yourself to get lost in it's majesty. Favorite track: Sudden Moves.

Nik Havert Good synth / cold wave stuff from Brooklyn here.

I’m stranded now, that's for sure Nights are long, when you’re in the dark Because I know I’ll never find you again The other you I see it all the time I can’t forget the place I can’t forget the place Won’t let you fall apart Won’t let you fall apart I can’t forget the place I can’t forget the place Won’t let you fall apart Won’t let you fall apart All these rooms they echo with your love All these rooms are empty without your love All these rooms they echo with your love All these rooms are empty without your love I kept my promise, the one to let you go When I wake it’s only me I can’t forget the place I can’t forget the place Won’t let you fall apart Won’t let you fall apart I can’t forget the place I can’t forget the place Won’t let you fall apart Won’t let you fall apart All these rooms they echo with your love All these rooms are empty without your love All these rooms they echo with your love All these rooms are empty without your love
3.	Memory Palace 04:47	lyrics	buy track
No matter what happened No matter what I said Wash myself Wash myself away Start again Don’t want to start again Where does it go? Where did you go? I’ll just watch it slip away I’ll just watch it slip away Run, running through my fingers that’s how it goes Round and round till we're salt and bones I’ll just watch it slip away I’ll just watch it slip away I’m so good ay being numb Well, I'm so good I’m blind Don’t make it over (X2) I’m good at being cold I’m so good at being low Don’t make it over (X4)
4.	Sudden Moves 03:55	lyrics	buy track
They said you were gone I was coming for your girl They said you left I was knocking on your door They said you flew away, for I could say So long, so long No sudden moves No sudden moves I don’t believe in God No sudden moves No sudden moves I saved that love for you Was I late to meet you? Did I wait too long? To make a map of lives so short So long, so long No sudden moves No sudden moves I don’t believe in God No sudden moves No sudden moves I saved that love for you
5.	A Pale Fire 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Hard to say if I’m alive Simple things, better things so hard to find Sometimes I’ll hide away Sometimes I’ll stay I’m in here somewhere still in a dream Find me to say you were never far away Find me to say you were never far away Well if only life Well if only life Well if only life were that way Honest eyes, I know your listening I never waste better things so hard to find Sometimes I’m weak Sometimes I’m strong I’m in here somewhere, waiting for the dawn Find me to say you were never far away Find me to say you were never far away Well if only life Well if only life Well if only life were that way
6.	Reincarnate 04:07	lyrics	buy track
I remember, racing through the grass I held your hand, All I heard was your laugh You told me everything before our mistakes rushed in Let’s go back, let’s go back Baby you’re so blue, Forever in the blue It goes over and over again and I blame you What you become, everybody’s got a guess All this time I waste on bad habits, getting by I try to maintain, pull the patterns apart But it’s still the same, can’t go back again Baby you’re so blue, Forever in the blue It goes over and over again and I blame you
7.	For You (Lois) 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Can You Drive Me Drive Me, Drive Me Home To That Real Home And Lay Me Down Forever Forever You Whisper In My Ear It Takes A Lifetime To Work It Out A Lifetime To Say Goodbye So Chin Up I'm Ready I'm Ready It’s Gonna Be Alright Don’t Turn Around Don't Be Sorry, It's Gonna Be Alright It's What You Whispered Whispered In My Ear It Takes A Lifetime To Work It Out A Lifetime To Say Goodbye For You I'll Go On For You
8.	Gone 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Noise in the wind I can hardly see you anymore Falling leaves breaking glass In reflections I see the past Distant lights, taking twice What gets stolen There's no home to go to Not for us Not for us Anymore Nights forgiven Fading futures failing The truth in the setting sun Full of regrets The movements of empty hands Make space for me Holding a palace in the past Distant you Distant me When the love has gone When the love has gone When one has gone When one has gone What is left Everything I’ve done (X4)

From the first viewing of the video and hearing 'Love U More, I had to get this album! Now, I can't stop playing it! I can dance to this all night! Amazing album. Other track of particular note is 'Strangers' but all of this is pure genious. Throbbing bass and haunting guitar with perfect vocals... What more could you ask for? theelusivestranger
