about

Words from Aidan Casserly:

The immediate electronic bass sequence is a classic intro to any song or mood. The coldness of a blade, matched by the warmth of the programming and melody, is an instant ear worm, and something that could really be further developed by remixing or reinterpretation in the future. The complexity of the drum programming and layering is something not lost on the listener.

lyrics

‘Like a Blade’

You come, I go
Why choose you?
Why choose, you know
Precision of arrows, why go?
A home will drift
As my windows ache
Light, will consume us whole
Except for shadows
Except for shadows

[chorus]
Left behind
Left afraid
Like a blade
A slice inside your heart
Gathering light, gathering light of the world

The price of pain
Refuse the dead
Why shoot in red?
Complexity rising and rising
A home will slip
As my windows freeze
Light, can explode and fuse
My broken shadows
Broken shadows

[chorus]
Left behind
Left afraid
Like a blade
A slice inside your heart
Gathering light, gathering light of the world

[middle 8]
Eyes that linger
Pressing fingers so tight
So full of clay
So full of secrets
They can blind me
They can break me
They can save me
They can save me
Save me

You come, I go
Why choose you?
Why choose, you know
Precision of arrows, why go?
A home will drift
As my windows ache
Light, will consume us whole
Except for shadows
Except for shadows

[chorus]
Left behind
Left afraid
Like a blade
A slice inside your heart
Gathering light, gathering light of the world

Left behind
Left afraid
Like a blade
A slice inside your heart
Gathering light, gathering light of the world
Two golden faces, two golden faces, two golden faces.

Two creative forces, Mike Wilson (music) and Aidan Casserly (vocals), collide to create a hybrid mix of acoustic touches, ambient electronics, overlaid with jangly guitar licks, all beneath emotive vocals and poetic lyrics.
Silver Moon began from a tiny seed of friendship, into an emerging artistic bond, to work towards their debut album ‘Empty Rooms’. ... more
