Strong light, dark shade, light hand with a heavyweight
deep thought, shallow pool,
open eyes on a sharpened tool
sand sifts on a winding shore, walk through an open door
born first, died last
what is now will soon be past.
Old, new, borrowed and true
was paradise when I found you,
born, torn, wearied and scarred
but no longer feeling blue.
Red haze on a green baize, sad song on a wedding day
hard luck on soft shoes,
good times for a chosen few
mood swings, dark things, playparks and diamond rings,
hands held, far away
sweet dreams on a rainy day.
Hard luck, blue moon, sad song with a new tune
close call on a payphone,
green light in a red zone
pressed flower in a red book, cost you nothing just to have a look
dark wood, grey stone
trust me you’re not alone.

Absolutely excellent musicianship, composition and arrangements. This is very powerfully beautiful music which reflects the story behind the piece. inverdee5764

Saw Kris in London last night - solo show, and he achieved all the moody glimmer of the albums: the complex guitar work, rich singing and even foot-power percussion. Best of all he brought his keen humour to a serious folk temple and brightened the place up no end! Highlights- Shetland wedding march, Navigators, Scapa Flow 1919 & If Wishes were Horses. andannh

Dystopia was my introduction to Talisk when the live version of it was out on youtube. Between the energy and life not just by the music itself, but the people playing it being so engrained into the songs themselves, Talisk has become a foot-stomper, and an absolute jam of a band to put on full volume. ladyoforion
