Songs For The Patient
Ljos was many different things at different times, but now it's consolidated for good into a songwriting duo between Maciek Tacher and Patryk Banach.
Songs For The Patient is their first joint offering. Written with The Beatles playing on repeat but produced like a Bon Iver record, it ended up somewhere in between.
- Intro
(instrumental)
2. Spirits (I'm Lost)
I'm lost in the snow
Would you come?
Would you come?
Lost in the snow
How long?
How long?
Will I slip by and hope
For the dawn?
For the dawn?
Will you come?
Did I get just what
I deserve?
I deserve?
And comfort I'll find
In this dance
In this mess
But I can't stand this cold
Would you come?
Would you come?
Will you come?
I'm lost in the snow
Where to go?
Where to go?
I'm lost in the snow
All along?
All along?
I turn in this storm
Will you join?
Will you join?
Will you come?
The spirits we're chasing
You don't know
The spirits we're hiding
You don't know
(You don't know)
3. The Wind (Like Sunflower)
Like sunflower you faced the sky
And never said goodbye
You run for nothing
For nothing
For nothing
And never said goodbye
Wake and hide your way or fall in light
Of night stars in your path
You run for nothing
For nothing
For nothing
You're never waking up
(You're never waking up)
Know the wind will come
And bring you clearer state
Will find you in the end
You run for nothing
For nothing
For nothing
You're never waking up
4. The Fields (In One Way)
In one way
Like the words of a song
Like the taste that you carry around
I am stuck
And I feel
Just like the sleep without rest
Like the Sunday news I never read
You linger on
In the other
Like flock of birds in the spring
Surely like tectonic plates I am pulled
With nothing to say
And I see
That maybe against of your will
Or maybe not quite as smooth as you would like
You're pulled too
We cherish it all
Oooh we cherish it all
We will change and get out for the fields
Until change is no more
We cherish it all
Oooh we cherish it all
(We will change and get)
5. Silence
Breaking the silence
Breaking the silence
They can't conceive of cause they hold
Breaking the silence
Breaking the silence
Echoes will ring for years to come
Leaving each other what we owe
Fair means all the world to you
Pray tell of your grasp
Wearing dress of black at last
May it guide to what's new
Breaking the silence
Breaking the silence
Challenge the world if you must so
Breaking the silence
Breaking the silence
Echoes will ring for years to come
Leaving each other what we owe
Fair means all the world to you
Pray tell of your grasp
Wearing dress of black at last
May it guide to what's new
6. Noise
Noise of the world
You love
(I need it gone)
Noise of the world that
I don't know from you
(I don't know)
Noise of the world
you love
(I need it gone)
Noise of the world that
I don't know from you
7. Right Words (Dragonflies)
Dragonflies flickered on
Songs filled the air and lungs
It was summer
Warm rain lingered on
My shirt clung to my back, and I
Saw you shudder
Another time
In another place
I know I'd fall the same
Another night
Under any other sky
I'd fall for you
Ink was drying down
Rose lumber burning out
Laded the room
Right words only came
With first rays of the dawn
The last train leaving town
(The last train leaving town)
Another time
In another place
I know I'd fall the same
Another night
Under any other sky
I'd fall for you
But when they came felt like the lights went off
They came and filled in what remains
I only learned what I already knew
Breathed out and let them through
(Another time
In another place
I know I'd fall the same
Any other night
Under any other sky
I'd fall for you)
