From the album "Inside Room" (2011)
Carry Me Home
Far away from home
And everyone I really know
All at once I find
I'm a stranger even to myself
And like the snow that's falling
I've never been so pure before
Christiania, before I leave you
You'll leave a mark on me
I like the way you smile
I like the way you try too hard
And in my heart this moment
I like the way you seem to read my mind
And what would I not say
To be in that room again
If only for one moment
That you would hold me
In your tiny hand, and I might say
Tomorrow I could find you, and you might take
Something that I thought I could never give away
If just to think I've something more to show
And as I touch the sky
I feel the space I've left behind
So carry me back home
Out on my own, I, like in a living dream
And all the lights of London
Are like a million reproachful eyes
Tomorrow I'll be walking a different city
Beneath a different sky
And what would I not say
If we were in that room again
If only for one lifetime
You would take me
In your tiny hand, to a place
Where I know that I can find you
To a place,
Where everything I've done and I've done has gone away
If just to show me something I don't know

Why isnt this on Spotify? The best record the band has done.

[@RAFAELBOSA]

And what about buying the album and really being helpful to them?

@@RAFAELBOSA where? it's not on bandcamp nor their website

[@cherrytomatosama9624]

It was on Spotify but they took it off idk why. Masterpiece

[@TaylorX04]

There are darker, heavier, and eviler sounding doom bands, but in my opinion Patrick Walker succeeds them all in writing some of the most sorrowful, soul-crushing music with downright haunting lyrics. Although I like "Watching from a Distance" most, I do hope 40 Watt Sun continues on for longer than Warning lasted.

[@johnniejay]

This is pure art. Pat Walker, you are a genius.

[@dragonetti95]

i could listen to this album on repeat for days

[@jamesnapier6537]

George Dragonetti the album does go on for days from start to finish

[@RAFAELBOSA]

Same here.

[@Sacriphyx]

Massive and emotional.

[@andypostema4269]

Just like my ex girlfriend.

[@michaeljensen3650]

Not sure how I got here from Clutch but I'm loving it.

[@AleksRockZilla]

I think if the universe made a sound it would sound just like this.

OMG... i discovered this song just today...Is amazing.

[@Oliwiamechocka1063]

Beautiful

[@JanChacn]

Love this band.

[@MikeBurkard]

One of my favorite songs... so heavy... so delicate... just perfect.

[@natetheliontamer2074]

[@BobrLovr]

Cool take on doom metal. Very introspective

[@jonesohneindiana]

I cry

[@SilverStarSeven]

I'm not crazy about the distortion here -- a little too fuzzy for me -- but the overall effect is doom. It's personal, introspective, heavy, meaningful, long, and it just works. Thanks for posting.

574 likes??? That's it?? This band is grossly underrated.

[@nekromanes]

this is so beautiful

[@steev.homohumanism]

How to pose for a doom picture: Look listlessly at a downward angle, hold an depressingly empty beer cup, and order funeral flowers on your iPhone respectively.

[@the_stagnant]

This hits me hard every time.

[@atmangoth]

lovely!

[@Myrkvior]

Same.

[@spartanekk]

super

[@TheTrueKailash]

perfect

[@alecioribeiro]

Definitly this band does not have a visibility that they deserve

[@bout古]

maybe it's better this way?

[@sharpvonl201]

+bout certainly not, the band deserves more opportunities and though i'm sure its not their intentions to make a lot of money of their albums, they really deserve to

[@bout古]

sharpvon l i like listening to low key stuff

[@sharpvonl201]

+bout ok? Pretty stupid if you ask me

[@wlmdias1989]

Very similar to Warning, cept for the fuzz. Both great doom

[@GreenSpleenSubmarine]

Willian Dias if I am not wrong, the lead vocalist for Warning is also the one for 40 Watt Sun

[@garrettgodc]

Green Spleen Submarine, You are correct. Patrick Walker is the singer and guitarist for both bands

[@dallasgrant5123]

@@garrettgodc At least Garrett has been listening to the two bands. Very similar and heart wrenching.

I find The river having a similar vibe.

[@lolaaragonese9188]

Haha :) Well Agalloch has awesome Lyrics and music too...But i Still prefer to WoY, in music and Lyrics; David Gold was a living god.

[@Psychobillysi32]

Agalloch being one of my favs

[@lilithstrzyga]

[@lolaaragonese9188]

When it comes to Lyrics Woods of Ypres has no Contest.

[@atmangoth]

WOY is another kind of music, I mean this band is slower than WOY. They remind me to Jesu, antimatter...

[@TaylorX04]

I'm tempted to agree just based on your profile, but I think Agalloch surpasses Woods in lyrics and music. Still, they do write some good lyrics.

[@lutzzywicki1521]

irgendwie och teuflisch sewlbst die wattahl meiner funzel kann also ermittelt werden... aber wenn jetzt Superkargo mitten beim Liebesspiel dit Licht anschaltet weil es vernünftig wäre aufzustehen, dann wäre ick aber richztig sauer

und wenn dann noch die ewigetreuebeführworter am vetoknöpfchen sitzen, dann habe ick richtig schlechte karten bei meinemn wunschlotterlebnen OK wenn Wiolf gerade dient hat, kann nischt pasieren, der kennt dit problem vom heißem nblut für nicht nur eine

[@Rapturized]

how? i enjoy WoY but they're so much more boring lyric-wise.
