lyrics

Something is happening over my wall
I never thought something could happen at all
for 800 years have I watched over this wall
and 800 years it took me to build it

Started with one little pebble
then two
then five
some downed sticks, leaves, moss, pine needles, tree sap, bits of tree bark on the ground
It starts as a little mound,
then two,
five,
then a somewhat larger mound,
then 8 somewhat larger mounds.

I'm building something and that's all that matters now
At first, I'm only doing it for one day.
Then two.
Five.
A week. A fortnight. A month. A year.
Then two,
Then five.
I began building. And I can't stop.
How can I do anything else.
Nothing can replace this feeling.
Nothing compares to the feeling of creation
when fire was your eyes
for longer than you could ever
ever expected it to be
I figured it would all be over in a day.
But then it lasted two.
Then five.

Something's happening out over my wall
I feel......someone
then two.
then five.
can it be....
We're we as strong
as I always believed?

Love this so much! DDIN is talent that will continue to go places. Honestly couldn't choose just one favorite track - everything in this dark atmospheric fairly tale land of an album sounds amazing and should really be listened to as a whole. Don't sleep on this! Anna

Thaumiel Sonozaki’s Amber Ethereal is a wonderful album of ambient music. I’ve really enjoyed listening to it (and it has also really been helping with my anxiety today). It is absolutely worth listening to. Thank you for releasing such an excellent ambient album. Kamani
