You live with a dreamlike lady You never see her eyes You never wake up with her Into the sky Your views are the same, my darling They conquer lie Scream ultraviolet dawning So many miles So many miles So many miles You live with a dreamlike lady You're coming straight from the void of Heart and soul condemned to live as One in the cold Furious wind will find you Fury of sun Fury of desert to climb you And the only gun And the only gun And the only gun Where you're coming from I don't know it Where you're going I don't care Where you're coming from I don't know it Where you're going to I don't care I'm going spare on your road now Dreamlike lady I'm going spare on your road now Dreamlike lady I'm going spare now Dreamlike lady I'm going blind on the sun on your road Dreamlike lady Are you the one to save me Are you the one to save me Are you the one to save me Are you the one to save me
2.	Shaggy Dog Story 03:03	lyrics	buy track
Now listen to my story happened long ago in blue When the age of the atom kept on breaking thru And I do remember people with flowers in their hair But they screwed it all up cause they did not care Had a probability to change our globe But they ended up in discos, stoned dead in the strobes What was precious for them is no more for me Cause they have forsaken a huge probability Hey, the clergymen keeps on playing organ pipe Down the church-hall bathe in gentle evening sun Summer’s over and he’s aware of that While Satan’s hasn’t noticed this minute fact He keeps listening to the music, it’s naive, he laughs And the masses laugh with him, following to hell A baby in crimson, black eyes, born of whore Threw away from her house and left on African shore Yeah, a prophet grows up and gains his wings He learns to use the full magic of strings He plays his harp so that ancient gods cry And they send forth a messenger, to take the prophet to the sky Gods are quite surprised with his karat eyes Well they ought to be black and that’s quite a surprise I have changed now I’m a changeling he says Watch me spread my butterfly wings And the unicorn sighs and the fairies dance And I’m losing sleep in an ultraviolet trance Purple glimpses, little lights before my face Appear and vanishing without no trace

Black sword Is the master’s sword Black sword Is the master’s law Black sword On its blade the blood of the sun Black sword It’s hilt and hand are one Black sword Is eternal sword Black sword Is the master’s sword Black sword On its blade in runic signs Black sword Wrote its name, the name is scythe Like a phoenix in obsidian Riding straight into the sun Black sword is black gold is Armored countenance of the one Black sword Is dark warrior’s sword Black sword Is the primal word Black sword Hold your father’s sword Black sword Deadly cut of black gold You’ve been chosen So fight the best you can You’ve been chosen So prove your strength You’ve been chosen So carry the sword with pride You’ve been chosen You’re the warrior of black Black sword Is the master’s word Black sword Is the master’s law…
4.	The Oracle 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Three eyes looking at the space behind us Three eyes looking at the space before Nightmares floating but she can find us Dreams are secretly building a golden world You visit the oracle Visit the oracle Visit the oracle With a word Seasons circling round her fingers Seasons circling round her grave She sees all moments in an instant Dreams are secretly seeing people brave You visit the oracle Visit the oracle Visit the oracle With a name Night hands reaching out for roses Day hands reaching out for spears Wartime speeding thru her clothes as Dreams are secretly weaving world of peace You visit the oracle Visit the oracle Visit the oracle With a gift
5.	Jamajskie Sny 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Odsuń powoli kotarę zieleni Rozstaw swój leżak ze szkła Gdzieś się chybocze na zgrabnej gałęzi Smak poprzedniego dnia Chłoń go w swe płuca szeroko otwarte Powietrze tak cudnie dziś brzmi Wszystko obdarte w tym serce co marzy Marzeniem jamajskie sny Linią na niebie nakreślił samolot Rozmyte chmury zdziwienia Nie ma tu bogów no chyba że słońce Co spełnia ukryte pragnienia Odejdź na chwilę w pustelnię umysłu Medytuj tam bracie co sił Droga przed tobą koleją piaskową Co wzbiera jamajskie sny W tańcu wieńcowym na brzasku ikonie Przekształcasz się w ptaka poranka Kroki wzorowe oddaje nad tobą Blokowisk filiżanka Pij z niej głęboko i raduj się tchnieniem Co zawsze w twej aurze się tli Podróż przed tobą do serca zdumienia Gdzie kredką jamajskie sny Szkicuj do woli swą wolność magiczną Horyzont jest dziś wonną mgłą Dymu świętego proroków nielicznych Co palą wieczory jak gong Rozbrzmiewa w twych oczach niesiony pogłosem Daleką pieśnią co pył Jestestwa obraca w piedestał ogłoszeń A na nim jamajskie sny

about

It's official -- there's a lot of great psych rock coming out of Poland these days! Readers of this blog already know Fuzzy digs JAMES BUTTON BAND, and today I'm listening to the debut EP from FAIRYPORT CONVENT. This band covers a lot of psychedelic territory, with vibes from 60s psychedelia, 70s space rock, and even venturing into the fringes of industrial and Krautrock. The EP kicks off with an homage to late 60s psychedlia and I mean that in the best possible way. Sort of a blend of my favorite Donovan tracks but with a heavier vibe. (Although the band says the inspiration is in part from Joy Division, which is fine with me -- that's a great band, too!) The space vibes continue with "Shaggy Dog Story" really puts a smile on face. Kind of a playful riff, and isn't fun an important part of psych rock? Yea it is. "Phoenix in Obsidian" is the heaviest track, and #4 "The Oracle" is my favorite track. Dig the Polish lyrics on the final track, "Jamajskie Sny." I don't know exactly why, but I really dig psych songs in another language from English. I think it makes the song trippier when I can't understand the lyrics. This debut from Fairyport Convent covers a lot of spaced-out psychedelic territory, and is definitely worth the time of any psych rock fan!

Today is a big day, I'm releasing the first Fairyport Convent EP, simply titled "EP1". There are 5 songs on it - "Dreamlike Lady" inspired by Can and Joy Division goes to the first fire, then we have "Shaggy Dog Story" inspired by James Joyce's poetry and the music of Amon Duul II. Third on the list is Michael Moorcock inspired "Phoenix in Obsidian" with music inspired by heavy metal. The fourth track, "The Oracle", is inspired by the early Hawkwind. The last one, "Jamaican Dreams", the only one with Polish text, tells a story about Jamaica inspired by no-wave and Rush at the same time. I hope the audience will like the album. It was recorded this year, so it's absolutely fresh. A wide spectrum of inspirations guarantees 100% originality of the material, the inspiration was more subconscious than intended. Some of the project's friends drew attention to them. Fairyport Convent is a typical "one man band". So one person is responsible for all the sounds you hear.
