Born into a time of strife, so many lies When the air is poisoned, seas start to rise We’re searching for a belief to hold on to As we march in the streets, I’m clinging to you Maybe we can change Build a new tomorrow We’re building our love Love in the ruins There must still be some hope To save us from ruin Let’s do all we can to fight this together In a time of lost faith, severe weather Everything we’ve known, broken asunder Let the voices for good, ring out like thunder Maybe we can survive Maybe there’s still some light We’re building our love Love in the ruins There must still be some hope To save us from ruin We’re searching for truth For truth in the ruins There must still be some hope To save us from ruin

about

This double single is comprised of a somewhat unusual song for me, and a cover version.

"Love in the Ruins" is influenced by early eighties power-pop with a touch of progressive rock/pomp and even a bit of new wave and AOR. Hence its slightly uplifting theme. For fans of groups like Be Bop Deluxe, The Cars, Crack the Sky, Cheap Trick, etc.

"New Horizons" is a song by the Moody Blues that I recorded and released some time ago, but I've changed the arrangement a bit and remixed it. It's a longtime favorite of mine. This song appears only here on Bandcamp.

Hands down, one of my favorite works by this prolific musician. Ethereal yet very organic music that it's elevated to the next level by Tziona's angelic vocal delivery. It's music that heals. Iker GS
