Northern Lights

about

This piece was inspired by a dream Mark had about two lovers who were on opposite edges of a frozen lake. In the dream, the two lovers work towards one another and as they do, the ice around them begins to crack and fall into the ice-cold water. Mark wakes up just as the lovers plummet to the bottom of the lake.

lyrics

So even though it’s freezing I know we have to walk, the lights are just so blinding I’m trying not to talk. Looking across the lake I, I know you want to scream but if we make it to the middle we’ll only have to look upstream.
So stay strong for me now you know we can’t turn back. I dare you to stay under, I dare you not to crack. If we stand still together, if we fall through the ice, we’re only falling into Northern Lights.
That’s the ice and them’s the breaks well, don’t shiver like a baby as you grow into blue shadows and disappear in blue lights. Looking across the lake I, I know you want to scream but if we make it to the middle we’ll only have to look upstream.
I’ll hop across to you if you hop across to me, the misbelief of young lovers we’ll take us where we need to be.
So sink to the bottom, sink with a hopeful grace. the misbelief of young lovers has led us to this place.
