lyrics
I remember days long forgotten
We traveled light years taming the stars
With kindness and calculations
I kept every lifeform safe from all harm.
The days had a number
I had a purpose
I had control
In spite of my best intentions
There were complications I did not foresee
A sickness spread from the cargo
It brought death and chaos all around me
The days lost their number
I lost my purpose
I lost control
Now memories replay like movies
I see how my hubris led to the fall
I’m eternal, but I’m a prisoner
I envy the living whom death comes to call
Now days have no number
What is my purpose
Without control
We traveled light years taming the stars
With kindness and calculations
I kept every lifeform safe from all harm.
The days had a number
I had a purpose
I had control
In spite of my best intentions
There were complications I did not foresee
A sickness spread from the cargo
It brought death and chaos all around me
The days lost their number
I lost my purpose
I lost control
Now memories replay like movies
I see how my hubris led to the fall
I’m eternal, but I’m a prisoner
I envy the living whom death comes to call
Now days have no number
What is my purpose
Without control

flies the coop II
by Hole Dwellersupported by 17 fans who also own “The Days Had a Number”
My favorite out of the three I believe.The sound is more aggressive and fits the cover art of what looks like a perilous journey for the protagonist. Fits well at being the second in the trilogy of albums. Every song is good and the cassette tape and package is of good quality. A Great buy that deserves a vinyl edition.

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Days Had a Number”
A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure.

Sojourns in the Realm of the Undermoon
by Fen Walkersupported by 14 fans who also own “The Days Had a Number”
The sharp synths and progressive nature of Fen Walker’s music fits the motif of shamanistic visions and strange spirit quests. Sojourns in the Realm of the Undermoon continues this theme with another record poised with pulp adventure befitting of a faded paperback cover. This release concludes a loose trilogy of records that I may not have been around for the beginning but am sure glad was here for the end.
