In the fog of dusk down among these pines
Lying low beneath the waterline
There's a figure I've not seen though his voice is mine
Lying low beneath the waterline
Low beneath the waterline
In the heavy air my spirit aches
Beneath the weight of time and space
I can't recognize the Man or His grainy face
Beneath the weight of time and space
Beneath the weight of time and space
Now the trees are leaning in
The trees are leaning in
The trees are leaning in to swallow me whole
Now the clouds are stretching thin
The clouds are stretching thin
Have I lost my mind or merely found my soul

When I heard, my God, how empty we suddenly became
Mouthed a prayer wrought of obscenity, these things always end the same
No time to gather up our thoughts or things we wished to say
Oh, my God, there was no miracle
No healing found that day
Did you know I thought the world of you?
Did you know so many others did too?
Do you know why it had to end so soon?
Do you know someday all things will be made new
Five days in hell our family spent
Along with some close friends
And you were ever-waning
We came to see how it would end
Did you know there in those moments, as you took your final breath
You were always loved
Until we meet again
And we've all heard it said
Death is not the end
Maybe too late or not enough
Still I hope you know

Turn the clock around again
In the hole where we began
Never-ending nothingness
Nothing more and nothing less
Days and years and lives go by
Hope can feel like a lie
When the darkness consumes
All that's beautiful and true
Oh good God, please don't let us drown in emptiness
Drown in our own emptiness
Drown in our own emptiness
Broken hearts and doubting minds
Dying bodies, weary eyes
Always striving for the shore
Finding out there's nothing more
Days and years and lives go by
Hope can feel like a lie
When the darkness consumes
All that's beautiful and true

Sunlight crash into this war-torn hell I call my home
Sunlight burn like fire and frostbite
Drive me from this hole
Sunlight burn
Starlight shine into this darkened void I call my soul
Starlight shine as blinding pure white
Drive me from this hole
Sunlight burn

Under This Cold Sky Marquette, Michigan
Genre-spanning songwriting shaped by the Upper Peninsula wilderness.
Under This Cold Sky recommends:
Some of the greatest songwriting you'll ever hear. Noah's music has evolved over the years and while I also recommend his newer work (A Pillar of Salt, Lover), I always come back to his early stuff.

Into the Great Unknown
by Bradford Loomis
If hopping a freight train out West had theme music this would be it. Gritty and powerful. I met Bradford at a house show and seeing him perform "Dead Man's Dance" in a living room was incredible.

Orion Demos, Lansing
by Frontier Ruckus
Although we hail from very different parts of the state, these guys are able to poetically capture snapshots of Michigan life. Frontman Matthew Milia's obsession with the 90s also takes me back.

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.”

The music on the latest EP from UK group Bards builds gorgeously sprawling post-rock to thunderous choruses.

Soft-Spoken Secrets
by Fake Furs
Aggressive alt-rock with a sense of goth melodrama; this L.A. duo get at the darkness beneath fading glamour.
