- THE QUICK FIX (Sæther)
alienated by the quick fix
how could this be?
sooner or later it will come to light
maybe then we’ll see
hang him or slam him or wham-bam-a-lam him
he's stuck like glue
intrepid perennial aerial acrobat
through and through
duly empowered he’s your new face
do you like what you see?
this is the level that you've stooped to
don’t you feel free?
hang him or slam him or wham-bam-a-lam ‘im
he's stuck like glue
intrepid perennial aerial acrobat
through and through
deja vu!
hang tight live to fight another day
never give up
feel resistance growing everywhere
it won’t ever stop
it’ll only go off with the wrong right mix
the stain’ll come off but there’s no quick fix
hang him or slam him or wham-bam-a-lam ‘im
he's stuck like glue
intrepid perennial aerial acrobat
through and through
mental kangaroo
mr president to you
deja vu?

- GRANNY TAKES A TRIP (Sæther)
your grandmother surely told you that there is a fine line
she told you never to cheat or to tell a lie
she'd have the skin off of your back if she saw what you're up to
if she could see you now
Yes, her's was a different world, now all is confusion
There's hardly a thing that has remained the same
but dep in your heart you know that her ol' timey values
they kinda make sense
try doing the right thing once and see ho it suits ya
you might find that it well and truly makes you feel good
your grandmother's face is once more there at your shoulder,
older, wiser, guiding your hand

- CALIFORNIA (I'm So Sold) (Sæther)
a California sunrise on a California day
the fog will burn off later, man - it's just that kind of day
this holy fool is waking up wth a grin glued to his face
everything seems poised to roll his way - my way
wind through my hair - sand in my sandals
sun in my face, heat on my skin
love in the air, smell of magnolias
joy in my soul - molten gold -
California, I'm so sold!
Sinsemillia sunsets on a cool cold desert night
La Luna's watching over us, it's just that kind of night
this holy fool is dozing off wth a grin glued to his face
and everything that was promised rolls his way - my way
down the road, over the hill and into the sun
here I go, looking for love wherever I go
and I know I will know
Wind through my hair, sand in my sandals
sun in my face, heat on my skin
love in the air, smell of magnolias
joy in my soul - molten gold -
California, I'm so sold!
Wind through my hair, sand in my sandals
sun in my face, heat on my skin
love in the air, smell of magnolias
joy in my soul - molten gold -
California, I'm so sold on you!
California, I'm so sold

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that.

The Gold & Silver Sessions
by Elder
supported by 14 fans who also own “The California E.P.”
With all respect due to Nick DiSalvo, who is incredibly talented, the proggy vocals are not what I love the most with Elder. What I love the most, I'll admit, is the incredible synthy, krauty goodness, from the track Sonntag on the previous album to the wonderful delving LP Hirschbrunnen. I think these instrumental Sessions were a major step in that direction, and I love them dearly for it.
