Original progressive rock band
(9:15) (10:00) (23:14) Gripping instrumentation, thought-provoking lyrics, and sizeable arrangements are the meat and potatoes of this independently released debut effort by Sound of Six. A symphonic progressive rock album capable of impressing seasoned fans of the genre and throwing curious young listeners into a time spin towards the glory days of 70’s art rock indulgences, Sound of Six is a pure prog recording. Thick layers of trademark sounds including double drumming, dual guitars, multiple synths and varied voices assemble to create an art rock arsenal. Sound of Six combines lyrical smarts with bold arrangements reminiscent of forefathers Yes, Rush or Genesis and similar to current keepers of the flame like Izz, Glass Hammer or Flower Kings, all while creating a sound of their own that will appeal to straight rock, symphonic prog and instrumental fans alike.

Lyrics
ICE PICK In a time that is old In a place that is cold On a trip that's been sold to me Finding my way home, again Finding my way home, again Finding my way home This is the story of the boy who lost the thrill This is the story of the perilous free will I've got an answer When nature calms it's light, the moon is on the hill This is the dawning of the perilous free will I've got an answer This is the dawning of the perilous free will Step into the light All kinds of pressures are keeping you bottled up tight Free your minds! Break the illusion and hang on with all of your might And the strangers that balk at you now See the tears down their faces And the people who walk through your door Won't accept your good graces I'm afraid for all those that know nothing, Nothing of your love. Been down a winding road outside the Kingdom door The path I've traveled left me wanting so much more With half a mile to go I stopped to realize As I held on to my free will, the others passed me by Go, fly. Go seek outer space But don't look back on your mistakes Go, fly! Go and win the race I won't be standing in the way So go fly! Go, pick up the pace Don't lose your focus in the maze Go, fly high! Go and take your place. Go, fly Now you're tired, tired of fear and pain But don't look back on your mistakes Go, try! Go escape the cage I won't be standing in the way So go, fly. No time left to waste There's no time, left to waste Go, fly high! Go and take your place Go, fly Who's been totally helpless more than I? Who's left? Somebody else take up the fight Who's gone over the deep end more than I? Who's gonna pick up the pieces of this broken life? If I wise up and fall down to my knees With my eyes up, I'll rise up The road is long (I don't care) The hills are steep (I suddenly realized) A line's been drawn (I don't care because) I'll drive on! I keep looking for a way But different indications say the way will never come Why keep looking far away, when that day may never come? I keep looking for the day But different indications say that day will never come Why keep looking far away, when that day may never come? This is what the man said! Finally found a way back home! Finally found a way back (repeated) I was anxious to get home I was lost and on my own And no matter where I'd roam Circumstance led to the throne Lately, I've been thinkin’ about the sign Posted at the gateway's finish line "You have traveled far, through shifting sand…" "Now you have the Kingdom in hand" I have been invited. The truth is, we all are Anxious and excited "Follow the straight and narrow line" Standing up for the truth with a sense of urgency Pulling back on the reigns in a life of redundancy Holding out for a glimpse of eternity "Behold an entrance, on an epic scale."
