Yourself 04:40
Trying to keep myself away Is anything you can say? Nothing, it’s empty but insane Turn you off and fly Search your being and bury your soul Ask yourself If you don’t remember your name Don’t worry about the future But keep your eyes wide opened Cause to die you just need to be alive Yes, guess I’m late again He’s in a bad mood today Try to love the one that hurts you most Always hate the only one that cares It’s just a bad day don’t you see? Nothing really matters if you just can breathe Be scared of being scared Take a break and carry on Don’t let the wind stops you anymore

Carrying the stones Bring them inside Talked to my demons Don’t want me alive So hard to choose now I may take a rest And sun comes early Of course everyone is so sad in the end We get tired of playing the game You doubted it to make it a mistake And sun comes early I may want to stay there You burned it, now just let it grow Sun comes early Night lays near me And sun came early
3.
Lovely end Lone from the moment she left Innocence Escaping from me as a dream Got to leave, she said Some things destroying my head Only me Dismissed my soul to be free Hopefully Everything’s ending to me Light me up So I can believe I still feel Got to see, she’s still Shining on top of the hill Burn the skyies, and feel All those birds leaving the dark

Footsteps 03:54
Using some radiation Humans are frustration She could, she would heal my hands Lost my only angel Footsteps releasing my ways Safe ones are colder Hearing what she’s about to say Gets harder every day She could, she would save my name Lost my only angel Clocks that control my sleep Some gods, are judging me Mainly I’m proving that I’m real And keeping her apart
5.
Could anyone keep me a secret? A definition of a weakness See what you did to me my princess Read the story I fell asleep with Who is knocking on the door now, when I'm already gone? She is going where the stars don't fade Gone crazy he decided Wrong ways, destructive manners No winking, not a tear dropped Found in his face Who is knocking on the door now, when I'm already gone? When all the songs about you are too much small Next to you, all walls are too much strong She is going where the stars don't fade

Grund 05:12
When there’s no turning back Your life is a regret The spirit you have left turns a demon instead You’ve got no time to wait No need to stay awake That morning that you stayed closed the windows instead Love got away, turned in grey And I stayed where I was Waiting for a mistake to save me No one really cares If love can be repaired If there’s tears in my face let them escape from my head Under the light we see shadows around getting into the ground for someday being found How should I leave all the pain that it’s carrying my name when you say it again and again Love got away, turned in grey and I stayed where I was waiting for a mistake to save me Under the light we see shadows around getting into the ground for someday being found
7.
You've crossed the line you may have lost too much It's hanging on the wall the morning light Laying by my side, the world's waiting to fight And clouds seem to be painted, they melt and fall on you It's colors when it's raining There's so many answers in me Yet none of them is true Cause every song's about you And on the way on what we just gone mad We're way too logical we never stand Lies turning so mean, while guilties keep unseen Can you make up something new to believe in?
8.
Always Gone 04:20
There are some ghosts which are dressed in black They walk along the city feeling fine But they don't know the lie That made them shout and cry Some people think they can be satisfied With broken dreams, reality is hard A question keeps them apart: "Why did she break my heart?" Always gone When I'm thinking she is feeling fine No matter what just keep faced to the void They're getting old and cold Still they're not fine at all Electric lights shine on an orange sky The night's confused the morning's always tired The notion of time is gone A clocked mind a wasted life Always gone
9.
Getting Dark 01:33
Her eyes Her sky Your trap Your cloud Getting near, my head went down And I'm on my own, and I'm on my own Seeing clear, as she's far away But it's getting dark, and it's getting dark
10.
Birds 09:05
Birds are going high Are going down, till they hit the ground They keep walking on Straight to the sun Who will burn their wings But they don't care They'll fly across the space Where no one is meant to be And they'll slip away From those hands that won't let them be

about

Los atenienses conmemorando el regreso de Teseo a puerto después de no pocas aventuras, la menor de las cuales no fue finar al minotauro, decidieron conservar su nave y por décadas fueron manteniendo y reparando aquel bajel. Cambiando las piezas desgastadas por la broma, una a una, finalmente les asaltó la duda de si el barco que casi un siglo después conservaban era el mismo barco de Teseo o no.

Albert Lax inicia ahora su periplo musical con ‘The Deepest String’ (Hidden Track DIY 2017) y la nave que lo transporta está construida de cientos de restos de naufragios musicales. La brisa del pacífico lo empuja adelante en cortes como Sun Comes Early o en Where She’s Going, o en esa deliciosa coda vocal del tema inicial Yourself. Los horizontes amplios de acústicas y pianos, en aqua alta, inundan los surcos de Getting Dark y Birds. La voz de Lax increíblemente madura para su edad, desprende aromas a los grandes cantantes de los 90 (pienso en Weiland y en Enik), pero sin aquellas estridencias a veces demasiado hedonistas. Lax sabe convencer sin necesidad de exhibirse, recordando a veces al primer Rufus Wainwright (Footseps) o, en los temas más acústicos, desprendiendo un salitre aterciopelado con ecos y vibraciones de Jeff Buckley (Grund). Mención especial merece la producción a cargo de Victor Valiente (Standstill, MiCapitán, Sidonie) que aporta un conocimiento musical oceánico que va desde la psicodelia inglesa al clasicismo rock de los setenta, con un especial mimo por el aparejo vocal y el cuerpo de guitarras entrelazadas con el piano. Pieza a pieza su barco irá mutando con los años, incluso hasta hacerse irreconocible, pero lo que seguro que permanecerá será ese buen gusto, esa timidez nada impostada que se abre suficientemente para dejarnos mecer en su oleaje emocional. Y nos sucede que sin saber exactamente qué nos tiene anclados en esta gran nave musical, nos apetece echarnos a navegar por sus corrientes una y otra vez y dejarnos mecer.
