lyrics

I.
listen to the sound coming through your window
listen to the sound across the floor
listen to the sound, a mystic sibilance
slips the bolt, unlocks a sliding door

listen to the sound coming through the doorway
listen to the sound, you can’t ignore
listen as the sound of information
tricks the mind, exploits the hidden flaw

hear the sound;
hear the sound of waves on the western shore
hear the sound;
take the sounding; see the ocean floor

listen to the sound coming through the airwaves
listen to the sound across the web
listen to the sound that’s in the carrier
throws a catch and slips inside your head

listen to the sound coming through the network
listen to the sound with every nerve
change the channel; set the programme;
view the replay; hearing every word

III.
we are talking laughter; we are talking pain
welcome to our interactive ministry
we are talking life lines; we are scrubbing the stain
redacting Kodak moments from our legacy

we are talking networks; and we are building a wall
somebody’s recording it all, and claiming immunity
we are talking word games; taking SYRUP to SLEEP
cacophony of trivial pursuits obscure the travesty

we are talking life signs; we are filling the space
impossible to find a place where we can start listening
we are talking sound bytes; and we are over-exposed
too much noise from the road, and we’re not listening...

we are taking moon dust; and we are blowing our minds
but to get into the fast lane takes crossing a line

hear the sound
hear the sound of waves on the western shore
hear the sound

The Prodigal Sounds image

The Prodigal Sounds Novato, California

Melodic progressive rock songs and instrumentals, 70's influence but a product of the dystopian Now.

"Very smooth, hi-tech sounding delivery..." - Chris Jemmett, alt.music.yes

"..on a rare occasion you just have to conclude that the prog world should be feasting upon the birth of a new and promising act. That's exactly the case with this album."
- Theo Verstrael, DPRP.net ... more
