lyrics

But if you were a song…
If you were a song, I’d sing you all day. I’d play your tune by heart and I would never stop.
Your melody would be so sweet and simple. Your melody would put me right at ease.
All of the tension that builds, it somehow releases. Your melody turns war to peace.

If you were a song, you’d move me like the wind. You’d sweep me off to places I could not predict.
If you were a song, you’d spin me like the Earth. You’d flow through me like water and you’d heal me where I hurt.

Not a typical orchestra, I hear the birds and the roar of the ocean.
You know you sound like the wilderness with harmonies from up in the trees.
You’re painting pictures more colorful than our eyes can see.
I feel your pulse and I hear your heartbeat. I don’t know how to stop listening.

Your melody is oh so sweet and simple. Your melody, it puts me right at ease.
All of the tension that builds, it somehow releases. Your melody turns war to peace.

Polyrhythms in the atmosphere, you take away my fear, endless tune that haunts my ears.
And it’s like a wave, how naturally, it rolls out, in again.
We love and grieve. We bury and we create… a new life each new phrase.
I could try to figure you out, analyze and write you down.
Then you throw your colors around and I’m cradled in the sound.

Joy from pain, how strange the constant change.

If you were a song, I’d sing you all day long. Lifted to dance, as if my feet were carried by the breeze.
I’d be weightless and helpless in a daydream in the sky, transported here where you give me sight.

Your melody is everywhere that I go, a symphony with nature as conductor.
Every vibration within you I’ve given into. Your melody turns war to peace.

Bent Knee is the most unconventional and collectively talented band on the road today. Separately, they are monsters at their musical crafts; collectively they are more advanced than what much of the listening public can even fathom. Victor Leclerc

Wow it's been a loooong time since I've been this excited about a prog album. PoiL and Ni are great bands in their own rights, but this project is so much more than the sum of its parts. I've not heard anything else quite like it, it's never boring. If I didn't know better I'd think these dudes are all actual wizards, especially with that band photo. 11/10 strongly recommended. sky · ghost

Insolubilia
by Ske

supported by 24 fans who also own “If You Were a Song”

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John
