Open my Eyes It's time to get up I hear a sound Coming from above I see your face Now I'm waking up Yesterday's gone That sweet voice I thought it was a dream You say come on You know what time it is Open my eyes Trying to get up Today is now Now I know It's not a dream Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow Now I know Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow Open my eyes I know what time It Is Yesterday's gone I know what time It Is Tomorrow's here I know what time It Is Today is now

Passenger 04:19
Lost in the dark again Out beyond the doors of sleep The water is black as coal An the ocean is so deep And you will be lifted up It will take your breath away The words whispered in your ears Just remember what they say Always carry you this way Always carry you Always carry you this way Always carry you And you're just a passenger And you're carried by the wind Sometimes it's hard to tell Where I end and you begin Always carry you this way Always carry you Always carry you this way Always carry you And you're just a passenger And you hear the evening song Of a thousand cricket wings The sound of the universe In a billion tiny things Always carry you this way Always carry you Always carry you this way Always carry you And you're just a passenger

Desire 04:34
I want what I see I see what I want Silver and white, the smoothest I could find Put down the rest, left them behind Who could know the Lightning Whelk's design It spoke to me, changed my mind I get what I need What I need I know what I want I decide to give this one more try Without a doubt I decide Spiral shapes make me feel all right No regrets I'm inspired Collect them all every one that I can find There on the beach I make you mine Lightning Whelk spiraling in smiles Like a second chance I'm alive What I want I want one I want two I want three

See The Moon 04:21
It's pulsing like a heartbeat It's sending signals from forever The water's always rising We will go surely down together You want a miracle cure You'll pay no matter what the price is (Underwater) You said you'll be Apollo I said I will be Dionysus See the tide start to rise again See the moon back so soon again We're pushing and we're fighting Mistaking enemies for shadows (Underwater) We're so obsessed with timing We've missed the cost of all our battles (Underwater) You want a miracle cure You mimic tenderness so nicely This horror is a wonder Remember everything's inside you See the tide start to rise again See it rising See the sky getting dark again The sun is coming I see it coming La La La La La La I'll be watching I'll see it happen I'll be watching I'll see it happen Always changing is never changing I'll be watching I'll see it happen See the tide start to rise again See it rising See the moon back so soon again See it rising

And all along you thought it always was your fault You couldn't see you were divided, the inside from the out And now they've got their plan to get it while they can It's just a way to hide from what's so hard to understand And it always goes around and it breaks without a sound And it shatters to bring us together Feel the fire burn your fingers This moment is fantastic Beauty dies, beauty lingers I don't believe in magic And I don't want to change you I only want to change your mind It came as such a shock, it broke off in the lock And still I try to so hard to find what you've already got I'm living in my head and everything you said Finds a place so deep inside me that's coming back again And it always turns around and it breaks without a sound And it shatters to bring us together Feel the fire burn your fingers This moment is fantastic Beauty dies, beauty lingers I don't believe in magic And I don't want to change you I only want to change your mind Never let go It's beyond what you can dream It's beyond what you control And all that I know Is that there's nowhere left for me Except the beauty now right here beside you Feel the fire burn your fingers This moment is fantastic Beauty dies, beauty lingers I don't believe in magic Feel the flame burn your fingers Your bliss is sometimes tragic And I would never ever change you I only want to change your mind

Deep Water Deep Water Water Deep Water We're floating I can't describe this feeling It's all that matters to me Blue Water Water Blue Water I can't describe this feeling Just let it happen I won't deny this feeling Gonna let it happen I won't let you go I won't let you without me I can't describe this feeling But it's all that matters to me
7.
You have all the answers You know what's the matter It's not too late, super power You can't stay another hour You gave your word Sparkle to light up the shadow Was yours to give More than your word Sparks to set it on fire Your life to live Can you keep it all together? How long can you stand the pressure? The cracks are getting wider Don't you waste another day You gave your word Sparkle to light up the shadow Now take it back Makes a fair trade Sparks to set it on fire Get something back It's not too late, super power You can't wait any longer You gave your word Sparkle to light up the shadow Now take it back Bound for heartache Sparks to set it on fire Now take a chance

Hold, hold on I'll be right back, see you later Stay so long Make it lighter, make it better Home I'm on my way back Home I'm on my way back Turn around See me waving, hear me saying So, so long Swim away and swim back to me Home I'm on my way back to you Home I'm on my way back Home I'm on my way back We are traveling through time again, the sun is gonna shine again Home I'm on my way back We are traveling through time again, the sun is gonna shine again Keep it simple Make it lighter, make it better Love, along I'll see you later, I'll be waiting Home I'm on my way back to you Home I'm on my way back Home I'm on my way back We are traveling through time again, the sun is gonna shine again Home I'm on my way back We are traveling through time again, the sun is gonna shine again Doors and floors and walls don't matter Inside is good, outside is better Doors and floors and walls don't matter Inside is good

Dissolve 04:02
It's all right We are home Even though We're all alone Here on this island We must find The way back To the other side It's all right It's OK There has got to be a way Just let go 'cause you're free You can fall right into me Sometimes it hurts The way we live Sometimes we take When we should give Here on this island We must find The way back Over and over and over It's all right It's OK There has got to be a way Just let go 'cause you're free You can fall right into me Just dissolve what's between What you are and what you see Could it be what we feel Is the only thing that's real Beyond the truth Beyond the lie The breath of youth In the breeze tonight Like a pearl grows inside All the secrets that we hide Like the light of the moon Wraps the world up in its bloom Just dissolve what's between What you are and what you see Could it be what we feel Is the only thing that's real

Fire 03:29
Throw the switch and feed the flame It's beautiful Shatter to bring chaos and change The way you move me Dance the dance destruction's name Beautiful Burning angels coming again to take you away Oh Fire Ready Aim Fire Oh Fire Oh Fire She folds her fingers into clay It's beautiful What she hides comes back again Everything that shares her name It's beautiful Burning angels coming again to take you away Oh Fire Ready Aim Fire Oh Fire Oh Fire Annihilation, I don't think so No mercy for the merciful It's like the ocean The way you move me The fire is burning beautiful Oh Fire Ready Aim Fire Oh Fire Oh Fire Fire Ready Set Fire Oh Fire

And summer's over so you're counting all the things we didn't do And heat is lifting and it's warning you Ah now that your summer's over Ah now that it's getting colder It's what we're made of and you know the stars are made of fire too Drifting in you and falling, falling Over you Ah now that the summer's over Ah now that it's getting colder Ah Ah now that summer's over Ah Time won't be going slower And next year is even closer Ah now that your summer's over Ah now that you're getting older Ah your summer's over Ah now that you're getting older Ah Ah your summer's over Ah

about

Refining their signature power dream pop, Her Vanished Grace is back with their new release, SEE THE MOON (2011). Recorded in August through November of 2010, the new music is deliciously dark, ringing with lush melodies and jangling memories. Hear the ocean! Smell the trees! SEE THE MOON is vivid cinema of warm dark interiors and cold vast landscapes. Taking the glow that simmers beneath the surface of sleep and making real life shine like dreams, on SEE THE MOON, Her Vanished Grace captures the enormous sound of the Earth spinning on its axis.


"The song ("Passenger") is taken from the New Yorker's latest LP 'See The Moon' and establishes Charles and Nancy Nieland as having the perfect vocal tag team to accompany the layers of sulphuric chords. "Passenger" has the undeniable feeling of an early nineties classic, with the fuzz and atmospheric theatrics finally relenting to the soaring voices. Brings you back and them forward."

MP3 Hugger (2011)


"....great soundsmiths and great songwriters but neither aloof nor pretentious....their sincerity (and no small amount of talent) makes them a refreshing, compelling and relevant band that will outlast trend and whim alike."

Radio Flyer Review (2011)


"Her Vanished Grace dispense verses and choruses like a shoegazing Roxette."

Leonard's Lair (2011)


"The quartet's new album See The Moon is a sublimely dreamy collection of tracks that create a melodic atmosphere with subtle shoegaze tendencies. With swirling guitars, smooth bass lines, classically layered chords and lush vocals the LP is a mightily impressive body of work."

Believe In Sound (2011)


"The amazing, shimmering shoegaze-pop (which isn't the right genre at all, hold tight) of Her Vanished Grace is really rare. It's easy to slap "shoegaze" on it because it operates in that genre, uses all the right tricks and pedals, but at the end of the day it's hummable, it's upbeat, it's less about grey and more about that sort of blue light Didion talks about in the intro to her newest memoir."

soldoutmusic.com (2011)


"I'm a sucker for grinding ethereality, for liberal use of effects pedal, for vocals that hang suspended as if complicit of intelligent sci-fi and yeah, this band cultivates this certain deliciousness."

Lazer Guided Melody (2011)
