Bella’s Bartok
‘Into the Woods’ is song written with a journey into the unknown, of facing both inward and outward fears in order to better overcome them both. Directly inspired by the old Russian tale of Vasilisa the Beautiful and the Baba Yaga, the lyrics tell of a growing darkness starting to penetrate the waking world. The old gods of the east are stirring — will the narrator face her fears and embrace the mysteries of the forest? Or will she fall victim to the Baba Yaga’s ethereal machinations?
Once again Bella’s Bartok is waving their freak flag fly high, fiercely and free. They hauntingly invite us to question why we aren’t dancing more and to throw inhibitions to the wayside. There is comfort in their warm sonic embrace. They are at the edge of dreams that come between the dawn at the end of the night.
The Floors may be broken but our hearts are full.

Leon Trout was clearly having fun with playing releases from their sophmore album ‘Paradigm’, with aggressive guitar and bass and drums intent to smash through with pure adrenaline. The track “Big Chungus” pays tribute to the story of Eduardo Garcia, a chef who lost one hand in a freak accident after touching a dead bear that lay on top of a power line. Wizard of Mops continues to homage inside jokes among frieneds about a friend who would bring mops to our shows, which became totems at music festivals where people would just dance around with these mops. Who doesnt like a good mashup with Leon Trout? Here they devour Believe like the wolf of myth, with more than enough in the tank to deliver performances of new tracks Fading Lights and Paradigm.

Lyrics
Take a moment to breathe.
Fresh Air heals my lungs Open up to see what you shall become When we return to the sea.
Our bodies burn to dust
Teach me how to fly, to flow, fully Let Go.
Fully Let Go.
Always end each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.
I grieve for the trees.
Will you believe in me?
I’ll dance inside your dreams.
Wake up an remember me.
Feathers fall so far but never disappear I’ll live inside your heart.
Your presence is so clear.
Teach me how to fly, to flow, fully Let Go. Fully Let Go.
Always end each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.
When you weep for me inside your garden bed Look up to the sky.
I’ll Lift up my head And then when you look down.
A purple flower grows
Teach me how to fly, to flow, fully let go.
Always end each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.
