Yet another track from Maudlin of the Well's "Part the Second".

"The sky draped itself face-down

A pacifying hood

Greyous in any way

And its cage was the dome of

The rainbow

Two-dimensional to some, but

For everyone beneath,

It was Atlas

If you looked up from below

At its coloration

Its bands grew broader

Towards the summit

As the shades short-waved

The most vast color: Violet

I was stuck on Violet, miniaturized

It was four days walk to the blue border

The Land of the Arched Circle

That was Violet.

I imagined the bottom of the Rain Bow

Tunneling through the roots of the Mountain

I walked Violet to the Equator

Where I dug my own grave then died in it

Beaneath the ground I rode the royal hue

All through the Earth for Eternity

And as the sun became too dim

The frame dissolved and

The Greyous blanket fell.

It lay upon the grass until the Morning

When it was hoisted up again

By a spinning Rainbow

Oer the vale."

This is perhaps the most appealing song for me on the album. The funk feel is swanky as heck

"And as the sun became too dim, the frame dissolved and the greyous blanket fell" Wow. I've listened to many progressive rock and metal bands, and none are as unique and have drawn me in as much as motW.

The intro reminds me of a particular part of a large Olivier Messiaen symphony called La Transfiguration De Notre Seigneur Jesus Christ. I can only think of a handful of bands who have something or another with 20th Century classical music. I love it.

the lick between 1:16 - 1:19 is so fucking tasty.

I'm currently listening to this album on vinyl, can anyone else hear the dogs barking during this song?

This album is so great, it's such a unique sound that I've found difficult to find anywhere else, even in some of MOTW earlier albums, and it's frankly beautiful. For me it's not the least appealing song...the moment in the middle of the song, from 'I was stuck on Violet' until the great bit after 'All through the Earth for Eternity', is for me one of the most beautiful moments in the whole album, but we all have our different tastes, and well, the whole album is a masterpiece.

I found Clover Garland island the least appealing song on the album though. Rose Quartz turning to glass is my favourite, i must admit.
