'Circles of Fire' reflects how easily dreams and expectations can become disappointments, especially if friends aren't chosen wisely and one ends up moving in the wrong circles.
Evelyn, Jamie and Andy originally recorded Circles Of Fire with Nigel Hooton on lead guitar back in the winter of 2003/2004, but decided that recording was done at too slow a tempo, so it was shelved. It's in the archives up at the Goatshed.
This new recording is different in many ways; stripped back and closely reflecting the arrangement we used when performing the song live.
The song was previously released as a download 'single' on March 26th 2012.
lyrics
What more can I do?
What can I say?
The girl with the world at her feet,
Kicked it away
And you move in circles of fire
You move in circles of fire
You move in circles of fire
I've seen you dance in the flames...
So what is it like?
This place of your own?
Holding the key to your heart,
When nobody's home.
And you move in circles of fire
You move in circles of fire
You move in circles of fire
I've seen you dance in the flames...
Here we go,
Fingers crossed one more time guess it's for show
And oh you are so naive.
Believe what you want to believe.
You were the dream
The girl to go far
But the girl with the dream lost her way
Left behind bars
And you move in circles of fire
You move in circles of fire
You move in circles of fire
I've seen you dance in the flames...
Here we go,
Fingers crossed one more time guess it's for show
And oh you are so naive.
Believe what you want to believe.

Beautiful album that has both incredible musicality and technical ability. Marjana and Gleb are easily my favourite prog duo who never fail to deliver masterpiece after another. And Lighthouse is no exception. The collabs on this album are just absolute class, too. Check them out! jazzbedamned
Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2016

Dark, angry, heartfelt...some of these lyrics are hard to read, but there is something valedictory about the journey they take you on, if you are prepared to go.
Rachel's songs are not for the faint-hearted but that voice...how can you NOT listen?
Dark beauty, like being strangled by a velvet glove.
And all the while Jon's playing and arrangements are the perfect accompaniment. His melodies carry Rachel's lyrics with subtlety and suppleness. Mike Ashton
