1.
Moss paired with ivory colored frost All of winter made us long Woven in threads of our song I mistook you for the dawn While the night ever prolonged Shall we regain what was lost? O sing among the branches O ring the bells, light the lanterns Dispel what the rumor mongers yell From the hearth where huddlers hail Threatening to dim light so pale The birds of evening weep aloud The laughter mocks in bleak resound Shall we spring forth and abound?
2.
Through the wind a frail voice Beckons to carry us You extend a silver hand to me, blue and forlorn Every hour is lost to years and vivid characters And the winter in our veins proclaims a frigid pulse Will vivid tones return to your heart? From the womb of the morning The dew of your youth will be yours In corridors of false charades Images, masquerades I can see what pointed eyes you have in laser form Lost in parties, hollow shapes In brooding fashion pose Pages turn, dispassion churns, you learn what’s grave and dour Will fair colors bleed into yours? Ever surreal are the scenes Of specters vanishing You romance me with the memory of Victorian love Mirror pages from your first edition Phantastes Do you accept a life, project a life, that leaves no life? Will the endmost dream become ours?
3.
Adrift on the brink of a shivery winter rink Foxes flee in spades Low glance undressed, mysteries woeful, unconfessed You might hear the means of a melody That will tease the seams of threads unwoven Come with me, our hands are clasped to dream of dreams And ever will our hearts be full If white may fall the snow like wool Cannot run away while the wintry whisps are playing Nor with steed and sleigh Frost fills the veins, more astounding than estranged You will animate, make believe, create Present feeble drifts of hope unwoken
4.
Hope while the frivolous romp in evening gowns Sing while the floret clusters flutter and down Wisps of the mourning, braids of London fog A bird and a woeful voice lament and confound Oh will it be, will the world ever know? Oh will it be, will the world know? Bare down my soul, tarry in sorrow As the daughters of song are brought low I am the forebearer of the wintertide You unearth troves of antediluvian kind Oh will it be, will the world ever know? Oh will it be, will the world know?
5.
Art reflects these articles of blight For what vanity You malign the myriad winsome sighs For what vanity, what facsimile Sing for gladness, sing for sorrow You hold my depths in your grasp Centuries past, what hope tomorrow? Loss is the sphere where we bask Moments from the shimmering decline For what vanity Artifacts, voluminous entwined For what vanity, what facsimile For what vanity, what loss For what vanity, what gloss For what vanity, what loss
6.
Peer through glass, untainted by life Dear phantom whims, have you no reply? Essence of dark prose written by There go the ships, then leviathan Shutter forth, words wireless by morse Miniscule form, owls arc by sheer force Thimble cup of virtue now worn There go the ships, then leviathan Lamps beam like gold prisms of light Icicles form the brim of the night Mild dismay in absence of life There go the ships, then leviathan
7.
Shoo away all the wool horses In here you’ll find nary a murmur Lofty bluffs, sparkle like droplets A porcelain stag crafted by giants All the worlds behold “Yearn for light,” speak the Romantics In fragmented hue’s lies your antics Howlings of madness and soundness Choir voices hum in distressed silence All the worlds behold Then shall your light break forth like the dawn All will not be lost All will not be long

about

Ronnie Martin unveils From the Womb of the Morning The Dew of Your Youth Will Be Yours, January 28th on Velvet Blue Music. Martin’s long-running cult electronic pop band Joy Electric released 14 albums and cultivated a worldwide fanbase, music scene, and the annual Autobahn Electronic Music Festival before disbanding in 2012.

From the womb... re-centers Martin's anthemic songwriting and synthesizer soundscapes in a post-Stranger Things world that is only beginning to catch up to the sounds he pioneered years ago. An established master of the Moog synthesizer - Martin famously released the first album with all sounds created on the Moog Voyager in 2005 with Joy Electric’s The Ministry of Archers - he achieves a similar feat this time around with the massive Moog One. Even longtime Joy Electric devotees accustomed to Martin’s intricate analog synthesizer programming will be surprised by the cinematic, widescreen layers of kaleidoscopic melody and color he wrings out of the single instrument.

Ronnie Martin’s extensive songbook of ecstatic, fist-pumping pop anthems has long been the ultimate “if you know, you know” secret handshake among electronic music fans, and every track on From the Womb… feels like a new instant classic from an old friend. These are songs we’ve sung along to for ages, somehow - perhaps in our dreams. Chart toppers and mixtape classics from a better, kinder world.


From the Womb of the Morning The Dew of Your Youth Will Be Yours is available on LP, CD, and Cassette January 28th.
