This song instantly makes me feel like I am going to be ok. Tom Shear is such an amazing artist his voice has a type of hypnosis that tells you hey its gonna be ok you are gonna make it. Saw him a few years back and it was such an amazing moment!!!
As an anxious and rageful person for whom the victory over their demons is tenuous and then only thanks to the bravery, pain, and sacrifice of one with absurdly more faith in them than they had in themselves, this song is sublimely affirming.
lyrics: Calm this raging sea That churns and boils deep inside of me Quell the hungry fire That threatens to engulf me Love, deliver me From disastrous sobriety I have lost my way And I'm looking for a beacon Out of fate's control As the winds will howl and the waves wills roll Overwhelming me In its elemental fury I'm crashing on your shore With my arms outstretched and my body worn I just want relief Before it overtakes me Talk me down I'm on the edge and peering over Talk me down I'm up too high and I don't want to fall Out from underneath The tyranny of disbelief Clear the chaff away Stir the cobwebs that have gathered I turn to look around And you're shattered lying on the ground I reach out my hands To gather up the pieces Talk me down I'm on the edge and peering over Talk me down I'm up too high and I don't want to fall Calm this raging sea And I'll carry you as you carried me Through the hungry fire Untied, yet entwined Insecurity Find another place to sow your seed All this land is dry And the soil no longer fertile Talk me down I'm on the edge and peering over Talk me down I'm up too high and I don't want to fall
I love that little sound in the background that starts at about 1.45 I listened to Bruise once and it was like instantly my favourite A23 album. Compass was good, but Bruise is on another level. And I thought VNV's Automatic was really good but Tom's jsut blown it out the water too.
Same here. I love the subtleties of unique sounds in songs that are like that little spark of magic that takes the emotional response you get from it to the next level.

Agreed...Just amazing...only two songs weren't instant likes for me...Automaton and Darkflow but I have no doubt on subsequent listens they will grow on me...
I absolutely love this album and A23 since Failure, Tom never dissapoints. That said I think there are some problems with this song, ( 2:19 for example) but I'm almost sure its because of the youtube-rip as Tom is very OCD about production hehe...
Ok admission..I now love Automaton and Darkflow...making it every song on the album I like. Easily the best album to date and that is saying a lot for me.
It's good to see other A23 fans who also like VNV Nation.
Most of us do not have the gift to transmute pain into cathartic music, so we are blessed to have people like Tom, who do.
I love the entire Bruise album.
He gets what it is to be depressed and looking for help.
You are really beautiful girl
Meta is my shit
The longest and most epic way of asking for a hug it seems
*offers internet hug*

lyrics:
Calm this raging sea
That churns and boils deep inside of me
Quell the hungry fire
That threatens to engulf me
Love, deliver me
From disastrous sobriety
I have lost my way
And I'm looking for a beacon
Out of fate's control
As the winds will howl and the waves wills roll
Overwhelming me
In its elemental fury
I'm crashing on your shore
With my arms outstretched and my body worn
I just want relief
Before it overtakes me
Talk me down
I'm on the edge and peering over
Talk me down
I'm up too high and I don't want to fall
Out from underneath
The tyranny of disbelief
Clear the chaff away
Stir the cobwebs that have gathered
I turn to look around
And you're shattered lying on the ground
I reach out my hands
To gather up the pieces
Talk me down
I'm on the edge and peering over
Talk me down
I'm up too high and I don't want to fall
Calm this raging sea
And I'll carry you as you carried me
Through the hungry fire
Untied, yet entwined
Insecurity
Find another place to sow your seed
All this land is dry
And the soil no longer fertile
Talk me down
I'm on the edge and peering over
Talk me down
I'm up too high and I don't want to fall
