I AM LEAVING
1. Snow on the ground, snow all around
where we buried the past and the feelings we found.
Storms in the night, prayers for light,
wishes for wonders to make wrong turn right…
CHORUS: I may long for your touch once tender
but don’t think I’ll ever surrender.
I must try the taste of living
among those warm and forgiving,
I must change the ice for fire,
see the sun and feel desire ---
Now I’m leaving….Yes,I’m leaving…Oh I’m leaving…
I am leaving.
2. Doubt in the air, mem’ries we share…
Truth or illusion? I really don’t care!
This is my way, right or astray
I’ll manage, I’ll make it or else I must pay…
CHORUS: I may long for your touch once tender
but don’t think I’ll ever surrender.
I must try the taste of living
among those warm and forgiving,
I must change the ice for fire,
see the sun and feel desire ---
Now I’m leaving… Yes, I’m leaving…Oh, I’m leaving…
I am leaving… I am leaving…

SOMEDAY
1. Morning sprinkles gold dust on the trees,
every step brings peace that we denied us.
Softly it caresses in the breeze
like a gentle power there to guide us.
Chorus: Many are the eyes I meet
and only few I’ll really greet
but long ago we got the gift of smiling.
So here we walk through joy and strife,
thanks to the one who gave us life
when we’ve paid all that we owe
we travel safely where we all go someday,
someday, someday,
we travel safely where we all go someday.
2. Images of morning in my heart,
sounds of silence that I wish to borrow,
dreams I own from which I’ll never part
all I’m saving for a new tomorrow.
Chorus: Many are the eyes I meet…
3. Day is slowly settling for the night,
to a land of dreams the twilight sends us.
Soon our thoughts are resting, safe and light,
waiting for the beauty morning lends us.
Chorus: Many are the eyes I meet…

Like An Angel

Like an angel
1. High in the sky I see birds that fly in the morning breeze,
two and two in the endless blue they do as they please.
But then one headed for the sun and kept sailing on.
Like an angel beyond the clouds - was forever gone.
2. Once, I too lost a friend I knew was my one and all,
Life is grey, love is far away and no birds will call.
All I own is a precious lone of a memory.
Why, oh why did you take goodbye for eternity?
CHORUS
Rains won’t give me the answer singing their lullaby,
and the whispering summer winds never tell me why.
In my soul there’s an empty hole but forevermore
I will treasure the days with you that I lived before.
3. Life has taught that it may be short and you had to go…
Still you’re here almost everywhere and I miss you so.
Happiness is a thing to bless while it’s in your hand,
I move on and the birds have gone to another land.
4. Mem’ries live, flatter and forgive and I won’t forget.
Still I know other winds will blow, life goes on and yet
I will learn when the birds return you will come along,
Like an angel you stay with me in their morning song.
CHORUS
Rains won’t give me the answer singing their lullaby,
And the whispering summer winds never tell me why.
In my soul there’s an empty hole but forevermore
I will treasure the days with you that I lived before.

Translation of Lähden Yksin into English:
I AM LEAVING
1. Snow on the ground, snow all around
where we buried the past and the feelings we found.
Storms in the night, prayers for light,
wishes for wonders to make wrong turn right…
CHORUS: I may long for your touch once tender
but don’t think I’ll ever surrender.
I must try the taste of living
among those warm and forgiving,
I must change the ice for fire,

I am leaving.

Really awesome melodic death metal album, really clear but still gritty production, unique vocals reminiscent of At The Gates and Anders Friden in the 90s and a lot of amazing riffs. they even throw in some more dissonant songs to keep things engaging. One of my favorite modern bands and possibly my favorite album of theirs!

Saint Etienne has surprised me with the last couple of albums. This in particular has the ability of keeping the mood for 19 tracks. Sarah's voices are perfect and the synthpop is executed with great intelligence. Long live to this trio!
