Assemblage 23
www.assemblage23.com


We welcome the more polished and mature sound of Assemblage 23 with the 2009 album "Compass". The song "The Cruelest Year" is a perfect example of this maturity. In fact, it is a salad of dreamingly beautiful ballads, relentlessly catchy tunes, with the indispensable club beats. It is all signed the one and only Tom Shear.

Selected Lyrics of the Month...


Epica - My Destiny

So many days we've spent together
Trying to get ahead with our dreams
Now we have come to the goal forgotten
Hurting within left us torn

The road is open
We find out way through ties where broken
So the means to the end
Was the peace that was meant
To be ours since it all began

We fight to win

I won't give up, we'll fight to win
To move along from where we'd been
I'll sing this song for you again
I'm looking up around the bend
We're so much stronger than before
Our fraying edges on the mend

Life as we know would be so different
Had our paths continued the same
Seizing the day with all that's offered
The good and the bad,
The clear and the haze

To move along from where we'd been
I'll sing this song for you again
I'm looking up around the bend
We're so much stronger than before
Our fraying edges on the mend

Don't let go

So hard to face what we've done wrong
We shared a life that can't be
We cannot hide from destiny
So hard to face what had gone wrong
We've got to make this work
And give it our all

Give our all and won't let go
Waiting so long for an answer
We've been waiting oh, so very long and
Now we're ready to accept our fate

Our melodies will be remembered
Forever and ever
Our memories will fade away
When the leaves have reached the soil

I won't give up this fight
The sacrifices made
We gave our all
And won't let it go to die in vain

I'll sing this song again
We're stronger than before
We have the chance of lifetime
We'll never close this door


Guilt Machine - Over

You were saying something deep
I was feeling incomplete
You were shaking with conviction
I was making up my mind

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Kill it to life
It's over
Dead by definition
Frustration is all that's left behind
It's over

You were waiting for a sign
I was planning my next line
You were bent on self-destruction
I was there to load the gun

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Kill it to life
It's over
Dead by definition
Frustration is all that's left behind
It's over

It was all so beautiful
It was all habitual
It was all so beautiful
It was all a ritual

You were saying something deep
I was feeling incomplete
You were shaking your addiction
I was there to find the vein

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Kill it to life
It's over
Dead by definition
Frustration is all that's left behind

It was all so beautiful
It was all habitual
It was all so beautiful
It was all a ritual

Blacken the sky
Fixation is all that's left behind
It's over
It's over
Frustration is all that's left behind
