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
03:52
|

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

More Than Yesterday
03:45
|

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

Shadow Of The Pyramids
04:50

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

Genius Of Song
03:09
|

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

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
