A Day and Night of Misfortune I - Day

from The Quietest Place On Earth by We Lost The Sea

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    On the 1st of December 2012, we released our second record “The Quietest Place on Earth” with a show at ‘The Roxbury’, a 100-capacity room in the Sydney suburb of Glebe. We had a new vigour with the recent addition of Matt Harvey on guitar following the departure of two founding members. This was the first of four monolithic shows we played in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide. It came a year and a half after we had recorded it. The master had sat on a shelf at Mark’s house gathering dust during a period of uncertainty in the band until Matt invested his own money to press 250 vinyls. We knew we had written and recorded a really special record, we just couldn’t get it together long enough to put it out. Ten years since its release it holds a special place in the heart of our band. It is the last record with our brother, Chris, who would pass away a few months after its release. A record we are still extremely proud of, a record of beauty and anger. “a plunge, a dive, I gamble fate.”

    For the anniversary edition we went with an elegant black, gold and white design with gold foiling inside and out. The insert is a 60x60cm fold out poster featuring artwork by New Zealand artist Jeremy Geddes from his cosmonaut series. As well as a second insert and solid white vinyls. There are no other colour variants of this package.

    This release is available through Dunk! Records in Europe and from us worldwide.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Quietest Place On Earth via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

i) DAY

AMONG THE EYE OF OCEAN STORM,
LIES DIVIDE BETWEEN THE RIVAL.
TO BECKON DEATH UPON THEE,
AND CROWN A NAME UPON THE SURFACE.
THE UNFORGIVING SWIRL,
WILL DROWN EVERY LAST BREATH.
NO MERCY NO HESITATION.
WITH GREAT FORCE,
FLOODS THE LAND.

AND TO THIS I SEE ONLY RED.
MUST I CONQUER HE WHO TAUNTS MEMORY?
OR BE ON MY WAY?
BE THE RIGHTEOUS AS A SPINE.
THIS BURDEN HOVERS ABOVE.
THIS WILL NOT CALM,
NOR CLAIM A LAST THOUGHT.
TO CONQUER IS TO PUT MIND AT EASE.
DAY SEES THE SHADOW OF NIGHT.
NIGHT HOLDS GREAT CHALLENGE.
TO BARE CHOSEN DESTINY.
TONIGHT I WILL BE REBORN.
TONIGHT.
