about

The long good night
is a song about the trivialities of life. The everyday experiences, the illusion of progress, our connection or lack of to hidden deities, our stumbling, the disparity of luck and the needless fuss we make over things that don't matter in the grand scheme. There are no answers, only questions.

lyrics

What you want and what you get
A better way
I haven’t found yet
Buried in the soup
Flattened on the grass
On the ladders run
We’ve barely yet begun
In Spite of everything
There is no other way
In Spite of everything
There is no other way
Fishing in the dark
Punching in the digital clocks
Christ is that you
Making us all look like fools
The wind lashed our bodies
Pulled the wool from our eyes
Some roses bloom
Best in the quiet
In Spite of everything
There is no other way
In Spite of everything
There is no other way
In Spite of everything
There is no other way
All up in arms
Over nothing
All ready for
The runaround
All up in arms
Over nothing
All ready for
The runaround
I’ve got a joke to tell
I’ve got a half hearted mission bell
I’ve got the time to kill
And no good time to say

Trumpet of the sun
A soaring height
The tender rain
The pulling weight
A foolish whim
The beaten way
A sacrifice
The long good night
The long good night
The long good night
The long good night
The long good night
