I’m through fighting a war I’ve already lost Go on dwelling in the ruins; you belong there anyway You’ll swing back to the belief that you can make people better And I do not hold to that Just as sure as the turning of worlds, I’ll be out from under your heel I move myself a little further from your reach everyday And I’m not coming back So no more running, I aim to misbehave There’s freedom flying under the radar
2.
Drawn in by your mystery; strange sense of nobility There’s one thing I should say, but… I won’t admit it when you’re looking at me that way There’s no room in your sky for me Forgive my wiles, and this fascination I wish I had you figured out If the wind blows northernly, you can go north
3.
This ain’t the life for most, I’m sure… In fact, you’ve made it clear: The place that you call home, the place you love was never here… I need the sweat, I need to be the driving force Without my touch, without my love We’d be so off course (If that’s what you think of this life) I see it in your eyes; you can’t convey - I need to hear - Forget what’s proper in the black for me, just be sincere.. I need the thrill, I need to be the reason why Without my touch, without my love We wouldn’t have the sky (If that’s what you think of this life) But if there’s anything about this place you’re glad of, Let it be me

Atmo 05:25
Something’s guiding me. Something’s pushing me. Get me through this polluted sky I see so many reasons why This world isn’t in tune to my ambition Impulses I just can’t deny Things that you wouldn’t dare to try I feel it’s in my blood to fly And leave you all behind… When we hit atmo I can feel my pulse accelerate A force of nature takes control and I can’t let it dissipate Sneaking through the darkest space Maneuvers you can’t calculate Watch how I soar Get me out from this dark decay I see so many other ways This world only wants to delay my upward progress Take me out to the black and grey To see the stars in their full array I have no desire to stay I’ll leave you all behind
5.
I don’t care where I’m going ‘Cause how I get there is the worthier part I’ve been out of the world a spell I’d like to walk it awhile Maybe I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be
6.
Forgive me if I’m not all there Sometimes I don’t feel human Emotions I didn’t know I possessed take over my mind half the time I’ve been asleep for so long But sometimes there’s a moment of clarity And I remember everything I remember too much And you’re giving up everything Giving up too much It’s my turn Chaos, where there is no sun Everything crowds in And I’d like to see you all covered in red
7.
I’m cold, I’m cruel. Truth be told, I’ve learned to trust in no one but by myself There’s no time to feel when you’re always watching your back I’ll be honest, I never thought I’d love again Times are difficult now, out here in the black When I’m with you, I feel the planets slow their spin When I’m with you, the ‘verse expands Here in your arms the black makes sense to me Here in your warmth I feel again Truth be told, I haven’t felt my heart beat quite like this There’s no time to feel when you’re always running away I’ll be honest, I never thought I’d crave again Life is different now, I’ve learned to obey You make me feel again.
8.
It’s time to wake up.

about

A synthpop concept album of Joss Whedon's Firefly, by Lauren Moore ('Verse). soundcloud.com/scirensings

credits

released May 4, 2010

"Lauren Moore is, by her own admission, a huge nerd. But that’s a good thing – I like nerds. Hailing from Indianapolis, USA, Moore is in fact a very special kind of nerd, in that she’s made her debut release a concept album based on the cult science fiction show Firefly, from everyone’s favourite cult show creator, Joss Whedon. If you haven’t seen the show, well, what is wrong with you? Go buy the box set, now.

Under the band name ‘Verse, Moore’s project is a collection of songs that, without being obvious, tell stories from the paradigm of the show, often speaking with the voices of the characters. The styles vary wildly from song to song, all experimentally electronic, with strong pop flavours, but all held together with Moore’s smooth, expressive vocals.

Whether you’re a Browncoat (a fan of the show), a new recruit (yet to watch) or an ignorant cretinous philistine with no friends and body odour (not a fan of the show), ‘Verse’s debut album is quite extraordinary listening. Her talents lie not only with beautiful delivery, but with lush vocal layering and haunting harmonies." - David Beukes (davidstuneshop.net)
