Fantasy 02:52
Virtually real But behind the veil You and I we’re living In a fairy tale Where the bluest of bluebirds sing In perfect English to us Fireworks explode on a painted sky With each and every touch Cinderella come and get your shoes My heart can’t take it Unnatural love I’ll fight to make it true Oh and I’m not strong enough But I’ll slay a dragon for you Rapunzel let down your locks And pull me into your room I’ll wish a wish upon a star Just like dreamers do Happy ever after Once upon a time Fantasy Yours or mine Mirror mirror on the wall Do you see what I see The fairest of them all And I think that she sees me I’ve got a spring in my step As I push a broom across the floor Butterflies bounce in my chest And I just can’t wait anymore Happy ever after Once upon a time Fantasy Yours or mine

Halfway to heaven with your earthy love Almost transcending this plane Leaving the limits of our bodies behind And going halfway to heaven again I’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel Now each flowery cliche’s turned true Roses are red violets are blue And I’m halfway to heaven with you You’re painted nude upon our silken sheets As if by a master from the fifteenth century Wrapped ’round me like the canals of Amsterdam I’ll take you halfway to heaven just as close as I can Halfway to heaven Partway to paradise each time we touch Let’s barricade the doors to this room We’ll tumble in sweet revelation Drinking white wine in the afternoon You’re the ink that wets my quill Writ in this wordy silence we speak Both naked as the garden of Eden Snakin’ through sinful ecstasy Angelic voices echo from above A troubadour is singing tales of courtly love Just as the Roman ruins try to stand I’ll take ya halfway to heaven just as close as I can Halfway to heaven

Popular song sings to eternity But I love you more than yesterday La la la la la means I love you More than any simple word could say Mundanity Insanity I’ll do it all with you Cupid’s arrow straight and true I love you more than yesterday Mythical love will be left on the page Turn it over Casanova I’m yours A siren’s song is guiding my ship And the sand sparkles like diamonds ashore Vulgarity Disparity I’ll do it all with you Before tonight is through I love you more than yesterday Drunk on your ninth potion a fool for your wine A glance and I am cast in your spell You float to me like an angel in heaven But this bed of flames is hotter than hell Transcendent Dependant I’ll be it all with you And the pink will turn to blue I love you more than yesterday I love you more than yesterday

Where to now After the after party? Where to now Here at the end of the night? Will I still be the same After the orgy? When we’ve taken our love as deep as we might It’s over like Juliet getting up off the floor And just like Oliver I want more Trying to make it big in the shadow of the pyramids Trying to make it real in the shadow of the pyramids Trying to make you feel in the shadow of the pyramids A fire in the museum Staring the Mona Lisa in the eyes Look at me balled up in confusion It’s all an illusion The second verse Always the hardest to write When we’ve taken our words As deep as they might It’s over like Scarlett I just don’t give a damn One last heist and I’m on the lam Trying to make it big in the shadow of the pyramids Trying to make it real in the shadow of the pyramids Trying to make you feel in the shadow of the pyramids Trying to make it big in the shadow of the pyramids Trying to make it real in the shadow of the pyramids Trying to make you feel in the shadow of the pyramids

Eye Of Love 02:31
I must be a saint Layin’ with an angel like you Just like Nostradamus All of my dreams come true Pulling the canvas tight Living by candlelight Somewhere beyond the day Bathing in chardonnay A lecherous tempest poised to sweep us off our feet A pupil in the eye of love learning to see I’ll stare at the sun And paint you from memory I’ll cut out my tongue These eyes speak with fluency Planting the seed in soil Watching the water boil Tossed by a violent wave Shelter me keep me safe And break the locket I’ve no secrets left to keep A pupil in the eye of love learning to see

Old places Wide open spaces I’ve tried to capture your charm But the pen couldn’t steal The way that you made me feel Words were only twisting my arm Where does it come from The genius of song Come on Peer into my window Late nights Neon lights You’ve held me in your hand But I couldn’t see Beyond your mystery I never understand Where does it come from The genius of song Come on Peer into my window Bright stars Electric guitars I’ve crushed and swallowed your pill But the high never stays And the memories fade I am chasing it still Where does it come from The genius of song Come on Peer into my window

Tilted 03:07
In this role play called life we are dealt our hands Maybe you’re on a losing streak One day she’s there and the next she’s gone And now even the sunshine’s bleak Tilted by love or a lack thereof Trying to keep ahead in the game Tilted by love stilted and jilted Ain’t it hard to play ’em straight In this house of cards just before the fall You covet your plastic jewel She’s not bluffin’ when she says I don’t love you anymore No griftin’ no bendin’ the rules Tilted by love or a lack thereof It’s time you called it a night Tilted by love stilted and jilted And still tryin’ to put up a fight As you go for broke drunk and seeing red As you spade your mind for clues Wondering if you should fold but you can’t help but call Hear that voice as it tells you you’re through Tilted by love or a lack thereof It’s time you hedged them bets you fool Tilted by love stilted and jilted The queen has made a joker of you

about

Kristian North Montreal, Québec

Kristian North eviscerates the very notion of restraint with a maximalist sci-fi epic grounded in the sounds of ‘70s soul, funk, and disco, with dizzying detours into the wildly disparate realms of rock opera, show tunes, and Hawaiian-tinged country, culminating in an assemblage that defies categorization. ... more
