Catchy hooks and a wavy bassline do a great job of delivering this melody’s passionate vocals. Reverb plays an important role here, and is used with great skill both on the vocals and for building some monolithic bass constructions towards the end of the song.

”I can feel it in my bones

But I just can’t stop the feeling

Take me far away from you

‘Cause I’m not safe when defeated

The TV’s on but the kids still cry

You wanna be clean but you still get high

And you pull me in faster, faster love

And you’re taking the weight from my mind

And you’re pulling me deeper, deeper love

And you’re taking the pain from my mind”

Despite the slightly dark mood it could sometimes suggest, I find this song to be incredibly hopeful and motivating. This is not only because of Kristy’s fantastic voice, but also because of the beautiful lyrics.

“You walk around in your pain
It’s like a prisoner’s chain
But you won’t tap it, it’s addictive
When you’re avoiding your shame
And all the choices you’ve made
The spiral down is so seductive
It’s all a blur
When your whole world is upside down
And speeding
But don’t give up
There is hope under the ray of light
But you know it’s waiting
Oh, just melt under the ray
Find a love that never changes
Let it burn your pain away
Let resistance fade away
Oh, you’re safe under the love of ray
Always with you from today
And forever
You are a pilgrim, run to freedom
If you believe
It’s all you need
Disperse a ray of light and hope beginning”

Kristy Thirsk) ‘ desc=’Despite the slightly dark mood it could sometimes suggest, I find this song to be incredibly hopeful and motivating.’]

I dedicate this beautiful, hopeful song, to all people who have lost something only to realize, later on, that what they had lost ultimately led them to life-changing, wonderful realizations. It’s one of Delerium’s most touching works.

Besides music from a duo that counts itself among the best chillout/electropop musicians, we also get to go on a moving and inspiring lyrical journey. The melody shines through its masterful use of contrast as the orchestration swings between two worlds.

The sweet video accompanying this creation can be a ladder for preparing one’s life for a big change and finally embracing that change.

“I really wanted to go
It hurt me too much to stay
I run away so fast
That my heart couldn’t find a way
And then you came along
And I was tired of my sadness
It seemed as though my life went on
But the feeling didn’t last

And then you came along
Holding on to everything that’s gone
Saving my life from going on (lost and found)
Thinking of what else I could have done
It wasn’t meant to be (lost and found)

[…]

I was back on my feet
You could say I was barely walking
But the cut was deep
And I was holding on to the past

[…]

He had stolen my illusions
And I needed them so badly
I grew tired of my confusion
‘Cause he was still there
Everywhere (everywhere)

You came along, and I was lost and found (lost and found)
Lost and found, my life went on, but I was lost and found
You came along when I was stuck in the past
There was a new life in sight
But I was blind”

Thirsty for your imagination, a whirlwind of percussion and crispy sound textures brings her voice from the cusp of an ocean storm. Listen carefully and get lost deep within the intricacies of a world-class electronic orchestra. And don’t feel too bad when it drops you out just when you want more.

“Burn in the distance
I can see the shape
It won’t be long till you taste salt with me
I heard the wind whisper something to my mind

I feel feverish–a little–it’s just beneath my skin
It’s the moment before something starts and something begins
I can taste salt on your skin

I have found another place to play
And slowly and steadily, I am falling away

And so I’m finding I’m getting the right things
And finally you are losing your head
I always wanted to taste the bittersweet
And you’re swept away

Birds and bees torment me and use my shape
On other matters bring me air to breathe
And let me feel salt in my hair

I will be rolled over and over
You’re getting pulled down underwater
And as the bittersweet digs in
I can taste salt on your skin”

Mysterious and epic, this tune is a transporter to other worlds. Transporter Songs aren’t easy to build. First of all, it takes a special kind of wind to move our soul’s sails. Mystic incantations can save us from the storm, but it’s Lori’s voice that fills the soul’s ethereal sails. Now, we’re prepared for the oceanic union underneath the guiding celestial bodies.

“Will my feet touch solid ground again?”

There’s no journey without waves, no life without vibration. The melody’s pulse is always with us – the patterned avatar of ocean waves. But just like getting lost at sea, a storm is in the making…

“Playful shadows start to grow”

We’re treated to an enticing array of sounds and instruments, orchestrations that make up the ship carrying her voice and the message it delivers.

“Oh silent moon, don’t take me away too soon…”

Because the owner of the label that brought me this Transporter is a personal acquaintance, I learned that this melody is dear to its creator. It’s not hard to see why. It’s not often emotion, rhythm and meaning make such good friends. And when it happens, you feel the Universe staring right back at you. This song was meant to be, and these words were meant to be written. And now you are meant to sail with this song.

“Hidden from sight, in the intimate glow
Playful shadows start to grow
Fires on the lake dancing under the stars
Found the secrets to our hearts

Close to the flames,
Lies the body of a dead man
Who ate his soul?
Did he die all alone?

Just like we did in the days of old
We drew first blood, then praised the Lord
But even if I crack your elaborate plan
Will you look into my eyes again?

Time after time,
We pass beyond and pay the dime
To the ferry-man
Will my feet touch solid ground again?”
