Feathers 03:18
We're all as light as feathers Blowing in the weather Looking for a place to float Could hide away for ever But it's now or never Take a chance, untie the boat See the stormy weather Feel the change of pressure Watch the seasons come and go Freedom is a treasure That i just can't measure Worth more than I'll ever know
4.
Wires 03:42
You open up your eyes, I open my eyes And things seem clear I start to realise the things I need Are now so near It's only when you feel These moments can be real I really want to change the way I think The way that I live I know I've got a lot more stuff inside me That I can give Been searching for a way to reach the day Move in a new mode Somehow I'll find the strength to start again Walk on a new road It's all in your hands It's all in your heart It's all in your hands It's all in your heart

Wonderful things can happen Wherever you are Wonderful things can make you Reach out for the stars Walking around, got to keep my eyes open you see? Walking around gonna keep my mind open until... Wonderful things can touch you And I know they will Things that will make you happy And peaceful and still And what if my eyes were sleeping and they never saw What if I lost my way and I began to fall... Lose sight of things and all of the dreams that we long for But all of it's meant for us, we'll find a way for sure Wonderful can happen wherever we are Sometimes our thought can stop us This time, this far

High and Low 04:06
Out here on this road I had a feeling that I'd find a meaning But everything's moving so slow I'm caught between to and fro And I've still got a long way to go Here on the pathway I only got halfway Caught up in the ebb and the flow My head is reeling, got lost in a feeling And I don't know which way to go Maybe where the winter winds blows? Or out where the wild river flows I've got a puzzle in my mind Where's the place between high and low? Maybe one day I'll know Maybe one day I'll know But I've still got a long way to go Still got a long way to go... Still got a long way to go...

about

Their immersion in electronic soundscapes works beautifully with Shawʼs otherwordly melodies… On the truly lovely ʻFeathersʼ the results are stunning. (Rocksound)

Cranes' last two albums signified a musical shift by extending their interest in glimmering electronic melodies and more gently contemplative song structures, eschewing the distortion-driven dissonance and upfront drumbeats of past recordings. On tracks such as "Feathers" and "Wires", the guitar work remains delicate in tone and slides with casual grace into the lovely pulse of the keyboard motif, creating a mysterious swirl of stripped-down beauty. (Pitchfork)
