root in still water – antarctica (Full Album)

find it here on bandcamp: https://rootinstillwater.bandcamp.com/ antarctica untouched, not meant for man. yet man persists; trying to unveil secrets hidden deep beneath the ice floor. 0:00 root in still water – warmth is out there this cold but lively afterglow was my compensation for the loss of the sun, whose warmth and light were enriching the world beyond the horizon. 6:35 root in still water – secret land i paused to listen to the silence. the wind vane pointed toward the south pole. my frozen breath hung like a cloud overhead. 12:24 root in still water – quiet time for thought i wanted to taste peace and quiet and solitude long enough to find out how good they really are. 17:17 root in still water – deadly play with the white if there is the slightest breeze, you can hear your breath freeze as it floats away. if you work too hard and breathe too deeply, your lungs will sometimes feel as if they were on fire. 23:12 root in still water – tears a discordant mind, black with confusion and despair, would finish me off as thoroughly as the cold. 29:16 root in still water – does it ever end? it was disheartening to be so much at the mercy of something from which there was no lasting escape. what i had not counted on was discovering how closely a man could come to dying and still not die, or want to die. credits to Richard E.
