Artist picture
This is a one-man studio-based outfit which has two streams. One is to produce songs, with vocals, in a fairly conventional format, that you might expect a "real" band to play. The other is to produce instrumentals with experimental electronic sounds, the stranger the better, but hopefully still appealing. I love that virtual world full of beauty and weirdness. Perhaps that's where I'll go when I die.

Story behind the song
Well it's the band's signature song, originally called "Life is a Question Mark" (?) Unashamedly contemplative. I had some fun, and thought of Mahler and Vaughan Williams, when writing the intro - alas I sounded like neither.
Lyrics
Life is a question mark and it's traced by a guiding hand And we wander 'round the curved bit and we jump onto the dot But the moving finger moved on millions of years ago Love is a row of dots at the end of an obvious phrase Like stepping stones they lead us, but they never have enough And the ripples disappear over the waterfall Love is not enough for us... Same as the one before, it's the same little one you want Through the open summer windows drift the breezes and the bees And the unread pages flutter over and over
