The intro piece to the album of the same name.

 

LYRICS:

(Out of the darkness
And into the bright light
We carry the ties
That we bind to you)

I am the broken blooming bough
The countless sunsets of a lost world
See me. See me?
So alike we are, you and us, soon
See me, See you
On an island of a shipless crew.

Gregorian-like choirs follow a movie reel sound effect, then Floor sings a short, soft verse. I am surprised at the tone of Floor's voice, one that I don't think I have heard her use before.

This is the second album in a row where the music builds up very slowly at the start. During the Human Nature tour they skipped most of 'Music', probably on the grounds that the slow build-up doesn't make for a very exciting live performance. In the same vein I doubt that 'Yesterwynde' will ever make it to the setlist.

However together with 'Lanternlight', which has about the same tone, they make apt bookends for this (loosely) concept album.

Song #2 (An Ocean Of Strange Islands) would also have worked as a starting point to the album, in my opinion.
