about
An anthem to question the ubiquitous: If you're taught something's true your entire life then it'll be very hard to leave behind - even in the face of your own logic and reason.
lyrics
Lyrics: Sam Vallen
It seems so obvious
the way we know, through life we're taught
It's virtuous to blindly follow
A wave of logic floods upon the still benighted
Strives to offer a bright new meaning
To a life worth living
Without inhibition or mistrust in reason
Far too late my life goes by
Misunderstanding truths I can't deny
And I'm out of time to understand
All at once I realise life's depleting at a rate I can't define
But with hindsight it all seems so easy
So through this revelation
My years of reflection are lost in dissension
How can I emancipate my world from something so ingrained
Embedded in the back of my mind?
I'm out of time
To question everything
And depend on one thing tangible: my mind
I've seen the light, it proves we're close to impossible
We are the miracle!
Far too late my life goes by
Misunderstanding truths I can't deny
And I'm out of time to understand
All at once I realise life's depleting at a rate I can't define
Have I wasted my time?
It seems my inspiration's a product of living
That's years in the making
How can I negate the face of reason, begging me to question
Praying for a single statement - why?
I'm out of time
It seems so obvious
the way we know, through life we're taught
It's virtuous to blindly follow
A wave of logic floods upon the still benighted
Strives to offer a bright new meaning
To a life worth living
Without inhibition or mistrust in reason
Far too late my life goes by
Misunderstanding truths I can't deny
And I'm out of time to understand
All at once I realise life's depleting at a rate I can't define
But with hindsight it all seems so easy
So through this revelation
My years of reflection are lost in dissension
How can I emancipate my world from something so ingrained
Embedded in the back of my mind?
I'm out of time
To question everything
And depend on one thing tangible: my mind
I've seen the light, it proves we're close to impossible
We are the miracle!
Far too late my life goes by
Misunderstanding truths I can't deny
And I'm out of time to understand
All at once I realise life's depleting at a rate I can't define
Have I wasted my time?
It seems my inspiration's a product of living
That's years in the making
How can I negate the face of reason, begging me to question
Praying for a single statement - why?
I'm out of time

Quandary Brisbane, Australia
Quandary was a band that existed from 2006-2011, consisting of guitarist Sam Vallen, drummer Geoff Irish, keyboardist Gareth Hogan, and bassist Dave Couper. Quandary saw active gigging bands with no recorded works, and decided to do the opposite, releasing an album before a single performance. A song approaching 30 minutes was in progress, but never completed - Quandary dissolved in October 2011. ... more

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right. Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story.

Of the two albums I own of Matt, this is my favourite. Song structures are interesting and Matt employs a variety of guitar-playing techniques to good effect. Expressive stuff, & good background music. If I have any quibbles at all, it’s that I find the drumming a bit annoying, at times. Thanks, Matt! 7.5/10.
