The show rocked! They only played for just over an hour, but it was high energy from start to finish. I can't wait to see them again soon.

hey q!

sorry to hear they played for such a short time... :(
glad it still rocked though!!

did they play any old stuff? what was your favorite? any pics??

Hey cev,

I don't think they played anything off the first album. They did play one song I did not recognize. They basically played the latest album plus a few choice tunes from the second album.

Favourite tune? I don't really know. Welcome to the Night Sky in it's entirety plus Lipstick, Jaws of Life, Danse Macabre, and Migration make for the perfect listening experience for my ears.

Hey civ_eng_girl,

I just noticed I said "Hey cev" instead of "Hey ceg". That'll teach me for being lazy and abreviating.

hahah... that's ok! i knew who you were talkin' about...

it's funny.... in my head, i always abbreviate my username to CIV, but everyone else seems to use CEG...

CEV... the best of both names...


ps. i like your choices from Untitled.... i didn't like Migration as much until i heard it live.... and lately, i've been loving Danse Macabre (mostly since i saw the incredible video!!)

oh! btw.... i need someone who has an actual CD copy of Untitled to try this!! (got mine on iTunes)

apparently there is a hidden track before Lipstick!! you have to rewind to get to it....

Ok!

So. It is a full song. Very sombre, and quite dark. The only accompanying instrument is piano, and thats used quite sparsely. The lyrics, as far as I can tell, are:

After the snow went away
You stood by the fire
With an armful of wood
Your charcoaled empire
You smeared all the ashes
All over your body
Smothering the remnants
Over swollen memories
You ran to the forest
A cold sanctuary
The last breath of snowflake
Swallowed beneath

Of course not! I think you've got a few people into Wintersleep by keeping this thread going, so we must not let it die. We need more people to hear the awesome music of Wintersleep :cool:
