Waiting for the light-blue bus
The driver wouldn't wait for us
We had to hold back the giggling laughter
To keep the groove of tired eyes
A wise man on a walking stick
Was the only one to join the kick
Our journey took to free our spirits
And unblend the moves to wired minds
The fairy tales the people told
Of windy hawks where Alice rolled
Misty nights of purple gold
The driver left us all alone
On the cemetery full of lost souls
But a wizard was awaiting us
In a sacred place of ancient dreams
His pipe blew multi-coloured rings
We all took off on mighty wings
The sorcerer sprayed a fuzzy cotton candy glaze
On sculptures without laser beams
The tumbling Stones seem far to old
The fox can't trot, too big and bald
And windy hawks where Alice rolled
Misty nights of purple gold
The nowhere man remains dissolved
The tied-up hearts get never cold
And windy hawks where Alice rolled
Misty nights of purple gold
And we'll be fine
You'll check in to Planet 9
We will fly high, high, high, high

What a gorgeous debut by this Polish quartet. Clearly, a nod to diverse 70s prog-greats (the usual suspects, nothing wrong with me!) but with a very fresh sound. The base might be melodic, colourful (sympho-)prog but folky or jazzy sprinklings are tastefully added. Carsten Pieper
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS!
