Lookin' at Old Photographs
From the days when I was a child
Makes me feel torn apart
'Cause things are much different now
Don't know when I grew up
Don't know when it all has changed
Memory is all that remains...
Lookin' at this ruined house
Remember when it was full of life
Through the tears I try to smile
But never thought it could be that hard
Don't know why it turned that wrong
Don't know why it ended too soon
Secrets of the family album...

Old Photographs

Now when I look through my window
I can see the things that no longer be
There used to be a beautiful garden
Now there's nothing instead of it
Among the flowers of scent so sweet
Straight from the trees the fruit we eat
There was a swing and there was slide
Where I used to play with sister of mine
And there were parents in this house
And I thought they'll always be
But something broke a peaceful life
Of this once happy fa-mi-ly
Looking at the clock, tick-tack
It's hands are moving too fast
Through the tears now I laugh, haha
Wishing I could travel in time
In this house which's not a home
All of them abandoned me
All I've got is album with these...

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
