Originally composed around 1994/95 and almost made it onto the 'Of Romance & Fire' demo from that time. From that original version the main verse riffs and the riff that follows each verse have survived more or less intact. Some lyrics also have been kept. The quiet chilled out bit in the middle is a variation of the original more basic theme. The start riff is new, melodies mostly new and the end riff is new also.
lyrics
So sad I grieve alone
For from this heart all love has gone
And though these words are laced
The kiss I gave was forever
Withered are the Autumn leaves
The leaves that once filled the trees
In our lonesome Summer meadow
Alas her elegance forsakes her too
Cherished the air we breathe, now rancid, diseased
Betrayed by fates desire, the hollow words of thieving liars
A scent so pure, so free was lost to me
Consumed by falling grace, the Earth was laid to waste
Tears cannot erase the loss of a dream to which I cling
A fading memory of her smile I chase
In ever-deepening sorrow I dwell
Ever-lasting torment and pain
As I lay to rest her silent whispers tempting me
But as I rise....so far away
That smile I'm chasing is haunting me

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes

My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan

Certains s'engagent dans la voie du one-man band parce qu'ils n'ont pas les moyens d'assumer un groupe ou parce que leur vision est trop complexe. netra est un one-man band parce que c'est comme ça que ça doit être et c'est aussi grâce à ça que Mélancolie urbaine casse les codes. Le black metal dépressif, le jazz noir, l'electro : tout fait ressentir une humanité qui s'effiloche... Jordan Vauvert
