February 21, 2024. What may seem like an ordinary Northern Hemisphere winter’s day at a glance is actually a turning point in the time-space continuum. That’s also the release date of the new Vogue Abyss EP “Iron Moonbeam Truth”. Coincidence? We sure don’t think so, and after 19 minutes and 23 seconds, neither will you.
The EP unveils two new Vogue Abyss tracks. The hauntingly tender opening track “Change” sets the stage with pure vulnerability and honesty that will make you pinch your soul to see if you’re dreaming. And you might as well be because the closing masterpiece, “Iron Moonbeam Truth,” gently guides you across the borderline of dreams, transporting you to a place as soft as the sigh of a sleeping butterfly.
“Iron Moonbeam Truth” serves as a captivating summary of Vogue Abyss’ journey so far, featuring newly mixed versions of their acclaimed singles “Hush”, “Universal Solitude” and “Crystal Frisbee Souls”. The band is masterminded by the Finnish songwriter/producer Harri Kangas, with vocals provided by the ethereal US singer Lakes. This indie pop/folk ensemble invites you to immerse yourself in a world of mysteries and melodies.
CHANGE
You wish you had
You wish you had
A kaleidoscopic mind to make sense of this
You wish you had
You wish you had
A yes from the universe in her vague abyss
You’re here and you’re happening
You’re here, you are
And nothing is going to change
The patterns just rearrange
No, nothing is going to change
If you don’t
You wish you had
You wish you had
A blue marble in your hand to slow down its spin
You wish you had
You wish you had
A cracked armor for a soul to slip deep within
You’re here and you’re happening
You’re here, you are
And nothing is going to change
The patterns just rearrange
No, nothing is going to change
Nothing is going to change
The patterns just rearrange
No, nothing is going to change
If you don’t
If you don’t
If you don’t
Change
HUSH
Émilie – Paris whispered to you, “au revoir”
Émilie – on the railing of the Pont des Arts
Émilie – you were free from the lock of gravity
Émilie – like a tidal wave of mystery
Now there’s a hush, words can only say so much
The silence that we share is sacred as such
Now there’s a hush on the lips of my Jeanne d’Arc
Who just left the City of Light in the dark
Hush, hush, hush
Émilie – some lives flow gently like the River Seine
Émilie – others are written by Le Gallienne
Émilie – a Mona Lisa drawn to tragedy
Émilie – with a smile that might be saving me
Now there’s a hush, words can only say so much
The silence that we share is sacred as such
Now there’s a hush on the lips of my Jeanne d’Arc
Who just left the City of Light in the dark
Hush, hush, hush
You closed your eyes to the world
And finally got your wings unfurled
Now there’s a hush, words can only say so much
The silence that we share is sacred as such
Now there’s a hush on the lips of my Jeanne d’Arc
Who just left the City of Light in the dark
Hush, hush, hush
Hush, words can only say so much
The silence that we share is sacred as such
Now there’s a hush on the lips of my Jeanne d’Arc
Who just left the City of Light in the dark
Hush, hush, hush
UNIVERSAL SOLITUDE
I’m sorry but you can’t come along now
‘Cos there is space for only one
Must hurry, I must go all alone now
Set my course for a brand-new sun
This is how the world can be viewed
This is how the world can be viewed
From my universal solitude
Our starry sky’s not where it appears now
The past just twinkles on and on
Don’t worry over all those light years now
The distance that the dead have gone
This is how the world can be viewed
This is how the world can be viewed
From my universal solitude
Like Laika
Like Laika
Like Laika (This is how I go now)
Like Laika (This is how I go now)
There’s no pilot just one passenger
Not meant to return (This is how I go now)
There’s no pilot just one passenger
Sent to crash n’ burn (This is how I go now)
CRYSTAL FRISBEE SOULS
Like a ghost town where no one
Yet knows that they’ve been taken off the map
Like a black cloud not raining
But keeping the sky tangled in its trap
Highlighting the unsaid
How we’re way beyond our senses
We’re blind to consequences
Like crystal frisbee souls toward the wall
Like a weak pulse on my wrist
Too life-changing to put your finger on
Like a snowstorm in your head
The whiteout still here with the winter gone
Highlighting the unsaid
How we’re way beyond our senses
We’re blind to consequences
Like crystal frisbee souls toward the wall
How we’re way beyond our senses
We’re blind to consequences
Like crystal frisbee souls toward the wall
Looking for just one more shortcut
That we could take with our eyes wide shut
Now we’re way beyond our senses
We’re blind to consequences
Like crystal frisbee souls toward the wall
Now we’re way beyond our senses
We’re blind to consequences
Like crystal frisbee souls toward the wall
Now we’re way beyond our senses
We’re blind to consequences
Like crystal frisbee souls toward the wall
Now we’re way beyond our senses
We’re blind to consequences
Like crystal frisbee souls toward the wall
IRON MOONBEAM TRUTH
This is a lullaby
To the sun that’s turning off
To its velvety embrace
Of a warm chrysalis space
This is when I give in
To my iron moonbeam truth
To its whisper in the form
Of a silver summer storm
Wherever I am
Right now I’m with you
Because it’s when you think of me
That I am alive
Else I just linger
Somewhere deep in your memory
This is a safe return
To a dream both yours and mine
To its arms soft as the sigh
Of a sleeping butterfly
Whoever I am
This night will change me
Into someone I’ve always been
A beginning and
An end with only
One breathtaking life in between
Beneath a quilt of gossamer
Beneath a quilt of gossamer
Beneath a quilt of gossamer
Beneath a quilt of gossamer
