Candles 04:20
Under the rubble of this town we called home, deep beneath this frozen snow, there's a piece of you I used to love. Push it back in place and let it grow. Now we are the prey, borne from a world in decay. We are the kids time forgot, our shallow hearts ache to stop. We like to think the sun will come. We snuff the candles out alone. Welcome to the new age were sinking slowly back into the clay you can try to delay but you will never shun your fate Please just try to let go the futures all but known We like to think the sun will come We snuff the candles out alone

Memories 03:56
I am not what I used to be and you won't haunt my memories. No, I am not what I used to be and you won't haunt my memories. I think I see myself again, and I'll remember or I'll just pretend... those memories, I've lost all those memories. When everything was far away, I had to teach myself life was ok. come back to me, it's all coming back to me. I am not what I used to be and you won't haunt my memories. No, I am not what I used to be and you won't haunt my memories. I think I see myself again, and I'll remember or I'll just pretend... those memories, I've lost all those memories. When everything was far away, I had to teach myself life was ok. come back to me, it's all coming back to me.

Carousels 04:02
The Carousels are Drowning! All the Colors drained around me as the sun began to fade, and the carousels were drowning all tehir twist and turns betrayed by the chorus bells on fire, all their metal mouths were strained singing sweetly from the rooftops of the cells inside your veins. And now we lose ourselves to the ever raging tides. You know I just can't wait to leave this behind. This elevated pulsing pounding deeper through my brain. All the pressure points are burning for the call of better days. Take the memories that haunt you, all that love that cuased you pain, find a nice bridge to jump of off that will spirit me away. And now we lose ourselves to the ever raging tides. You know I just can't wait to leave this behind.

about

The word "Tanz" means "Dance" in German. Germany was the place where I learned both the meaning of this term, and came to enjoy putting it into practice. Long sleepless nights were spent among friends, enemies, and complete strangers at the local Diskothek, these nights are where I draw the inspiration for the creation of this music and art.

This album contains all the emotions I felt at the time: everything from love hatred, awe, disappointment, fear, bravery, gaiety, and of course the trance brought on by hours of repetitive motion.

Whether it be just tapping your toes or swaying in your seat, dancing is fun, invigorating, and wonderful. Hopefully, this album will bring you to that place.

Yours truly,
Mike Stearns
