The Star 05:37
The Star I’m a star There’s nothing here like me If I can see you That’s only who you were I’m a star Understanding what will be I’m caught in a web That ties me to my lair Born from balancing forces With no apparent sources The space between is curved and bent Into collapse it is sent Divine intervention A matter of intention? Or particles merrily playing Laughing at your praying? You're always asking why Trying to see some sense But why do you laugh or cry Or dwell in depths or heigts intense You marvel at my sight Use me as your guiding light But I have lost my desperate fight In an ever changing night My skin erodes - My heart explodes While I seem the same to you Dissolving into nothingness Until all starts anew I’m at the a heart of a nebulous cloud Where matter meets in a weightless crowd Pulling inwards - afraid of loss A fusion of fire - lightyears across If by purpose or built in design I will sparkle, shimmer and shine But into darkness I will fall Lost and forgotten by you all You're always asking why Caught in false pretence Why don’t you take off and fly You’re living at your own expense You marvel at my sight Use me as your guiding light But I have lost my desperate fight In an ever changing night My skin erodes - My heart explodes While I seem the same to you Dissolving into nothingness Until all starts anew So look at me And all that you’ll see Has long since ceased to be It has long since ceased to be

about

An 8-piece band is a slow moving animal. So it always takes years to finish a Poor Genetic Material album. To bridge the gaps between releases, PGM‘s founding members - singer Philip Griffiths, guitarist Stefan Glomb and keyboardist Philipp Jaehne, who are writing far more music than could possibly be recorded by the full band, are issuing some of this material as digital singles in irregular intervals.
This music could be described as "No drums (almost), lots of guitars & electronic wizardry plus one of the best singers in contemporary prog.“
Each single will be added to this "album" entitled "Elsewhere", a sidetrack of PGM's work but certainly one worth discovering.
