Dante Park 02:49
I daydreamt I saw you in the afternoon then that night I called to you Angels led me down to Dante park Moonlit Mary waiting for me And I’ve got a sunny feeling that there’s something moving through those clouds and through your eyes And I know it’s a funny feeling but I’m taking it for what it is It’s a sign It’s a sign Wandering wastrels weighted by heavy stones Contemplating this time that they’re longing to renew Every tree sings to me a woeful tune Imagines that burn until the dawn turns fiery blue And I’ve got a funny feeling that you won’t be leaving me behind I’m standing true And I know there’s a sunny feeling And I’m taking it for what it is Hold on tight It’s a sign It’s a sign...

Tired Angels 03:15
They drew their breath across my face In the stillness of the morning Immersed within a dream I couldn't let them know That they had buried me alive in their time of mourning It's time to rise above It's time to rise up I followed death into the grove It turned to me and whispered go It’s time to rise above It’s time to rise up Then death it flew into my hair And it got tangled there The more it struggled it cried And then death (it) died Anvils not angels weigh in Dark matter Brawlers betray championing Dark matters Challenging our universe Dark matters Strengthened when weakened Reversed Dark matters My angels, my angels are tired My angels, my angels are tired My angels, my angels are tired My angels, my angels are tired

Shutterbug 02:16
Shutterbug snapping everything up So he can be there too so she can let him know Shutterbug buzzing around this world Ringing every door so that they will know And please sing for me… And don’t ever stop Shutterbug shudders to think of When the aperture is open just enough Shutterbug’s sacred images of rose windows Rose windows open up And please ring in my ears… And don’t ever stop

The Wash 03:20
Hung, hung, hung, hung on the line again Hung, hung, hung, hung out to dry again Hung, hung, hung, hung and we’ll try again But she’s taking her time as she’s faking her lines Will the infamous ink ever dry? Hung, hung, hung, hung side by side again (Side by side this is where we begin…) Hung, hung, hung, hung and we’ll lie again (Lying on blankets of sable and sin…) Hung, hung, hung, hung and we’re dry again (Oh, will we dry will we try again…) And the ink almost dries as we hang on the line And we’re closer than ever this time And we’ve tangled the lines as we walk these fine times When it breaks we will take to new heights…

You seem to float between the atoms Your quarks revealed in glowing shapes Living beneath a broken bell jar Vibrating strings adorn this place Ohhhh…what lies beneath us And ohhhh…what lies between us And as we float between the atoms (We seem to float out of our dreams) Our quarks revealed in glowing shapes (Form-like shapes reach out as receivers) We live beneath a broken bell jar (Reaching out engaged in grey matters) Vibrating strings adorn our space (Are we here or are we far from…) Ohhhh…what lies beneath us And ohhhh…what lies between us And ohhhh…what lies beneath us And ohhhh…what lies between us And as we float between the atoms Our quarks revealed in glowing shapes (Form-like shapes reach out…) We live beneath a broken bell jar (Form-like shapes reach out as receivers) Vibrating strings adorn our space

(Chorus stanzas "Hope" by Emily Dickinson) Carry me oh carry me oh carry me ohh carry me the Marysburgh Vortex is calling Carry me oh carry me oh weary me oh wary me please let me be sheltered from trivial trappings Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all Carry me oh carry me oh bury me oh bury me let sand dunes be blankets that calm and cool me Emily oh Emily oh ferry me oh carry me I met you when I was but fifteen - sailing And sweetest in the gale is heard and sore must be the storm that could abash the little bird that kept so many warm so many...ahhhhh... Carry me oh carry me oh Emily oh carry me the Marysburgh Vortex is calling Carry me oh carry me oh weary me oh ferry me I'll wade through the doldrums I'll wade through once more I've heard it in the chillest land and on the strangest sea yet never in extremity it asked a crumb of me Aaaaaaaaah...

Start Again 02:40
She said “I used to be a stripper peeling off images” When the curtains came down it was burned into silk They said “It could become antiquated” but she didn’t pay heed to them In the bright white room she cleaned up images some cold and some untrue And now she’s got the spray gun three thousand pounds per square inch behind her And if the contours are too harsh she will erase them… And then she was a “plater” working late on the offset press When the print bell rang she looked to organdy skies They said “it could become antiqued” so she put on her best coat of emulsion In the dim yellow room she burned in images of architecture lost And now she’s got the spray gun three thousand pounds per square inch behind her And if the contours are too harsh she will erase them and start again Now she’s got the spray gun three thousand pounds per square inch behind her And if the contours are too harsh she will erase them… And now she’s got the spray gun 3,000 pounds per square inch behind her And if the contours are too harsh she will erase them and start again Now she’s got the spray gun three thousand pounds per square inch behind her And if the contours are too harsh she will erase them… And start again!

Moderato 02:44
Awaken in the arms of the morning And the spires will the clouds to meet this dawning It’s never easy to take on the morning With the city far below windswept and storming Let it weather while I kiss you my love… We move westwards descend to the river But it only casts back our own reflections Suspension bridges these highways And the inter-coastal weaves to meet this moment These rivers may lead to the ocean These rivers will lead to an ocean my love… Threading the eye - Stitching these times Colour sublime - Take on these times Threading the eye - Stitching these lines Colour sublime - Take on this time

C’est ahhhhhh…c’est ahhhhhh… J’ai dit le mauvais mauvais… J’ai dit le mauvais mot mais.. C’est le temps… De me chauffer chauffer… De me chauffer chauffe mais… C’est le temps de dire le mauvais mot J’ai toujours dit le mauvais mot C’est le temps de dire le mauvais mot J’ai toujours lit le mauvais mot T’as toujours lit le mauvais mot C’est le temps de dire le mauvais mot Mais ahhhhhh…Mais ahhhhhh…

I can’t think! In this multiverse When you spin in reverse Gravitational pull Pulls me interspatial Ultraviolet eye Will you bend to my wire When I bend to your field When we’re moving in time I’m feeling your feeling I’m feeling your feelings I’m feeling your feeling I’m feeling your feelings Matters of love! Matters of matters of love…

about

Krista has been busy recording and mixing her fifth full-length album while becoming a master printer! “Between Atoms” is her most ambitious creation to date incorporating her talents as a producer, recording engineer, musician and print maker. It was sparked when she was asked to write a song for Greek painter Stefanos Rokos' exhibition "Horror & Romance On Another Planet."

This seamless ethereal pop creation explores themes ranging from particle theory to purgatory. The record features lush vocal harmonies, electric ukuleles, and an army of vintage organs. Inspired by The Animals, The Byrds, Emily Dickinson, Dante, and Krista’s travels.
