I came into your house Welcomed in your arms Is it sunset in your eyes? That's warm before it's gone It's an hour for quiet and peace Play some music, please Perhaps I'll start to sing And you'll have some gin to drink You're still watching my empty hands Like you're waiting for something else What I brought in, what remains Sun turns into gold again It seems you're pulled apart Why do we people make things so hard? Let's give it to the dark Wait for a new morning light How far we're from the sun Sun that shines for everyone Now you're running in circles Your walls begin to sway This night bears your burdens with you And calls you on to pray Can't keep calm, you're restless Black eyes so hypnotized I'll be there when you'll be back Bringing a new morning light Be my light in return Be my sun in return Keep you home in return

13 Days Ago 04:46
We, we’ve been tasting We’ve been tasting everything And much more We’ve been hanging On the rope with hope That we wouldn’t fall I’m addicted to your every sin I wish that you would let me in I’m addicted to you Yet I have not come through 13 days ago I decided to go Prepared to stake everything I own At the end of it all promises are gone I am still waiting at your bedroom door Got to be true to myself I’m chained again, again, again… I got to be I got to be Got to be true to myself

Quiet Sirens 06:22
Hey, is it still the same? Questions in my throat fade away every day I’m barely speaking, can’t control my breath Been drowning for hours in my own emptiness I believe I can sing it in silence Take it in be quiet as my sirens I’ve been embraced by my greatest denial Been caressed, been drunk by my ailing state of mind Hey, I’ll cover my eyes ‘Cause in a minute I’ll turn my wrongs into rights Looking around the plain that spreads out of my heart How do we know we are still alive? I can’t find anything under Under the ground believed in something Among the trees searching for meaning Where do I belong? Always caught in the middle Once a bit closer, one step back Towards the woods then turning down the silence

Those nights when we danced With hands far above our heads Eyes open we danced In darkness, in snow, in rain Sail Throughout the years Could stay When home is so near Believing minds, anywhere The wind may blow us We hold on to the day Those nights when we danced With hands far above our heads Eyes open we danced In darkness, in snow, in rain Long nights when we danced… Rain Washed down my fears I wait Its sound in my ears So grateful, I understand This feeling is all I need to take me there Those nights when we danced With hands far above our heads Eyes open we danced In darkness, in snow, in rain Long nights when we danced With stars up above our heads Eyes open we danced All heavy we thought we fled Light-hearted we danced Light-hearted we danced In darkness In darkness is our place

No Words 06:45
Listening to what we need Losing things that I should keep I’m closer to the other side With no looking back behind I’m slowly coming back to life I’m nearing the other side When you want to stay static My lungs are prepared to dive My hands, they want to dance in magic I feel my heart is getting wild Everything I hid inside It’s coming out from under the ground I’m slowly coming back to life I feel my heart is getting wild We are torn off as blossom petals We’re as far as the stormy weather We’re so close to touch the breeze We can see old leaves leaving trees I’m falling down with you You’re pulling my body through It keeps breaking my body through I’m falling down to you Down / With you Down / With you Down, down, down…
6.
Anxiety 05:28
Step into the world in the morning light Headlong into the crowd for your second try It’s fine to be free but something isn’t right It’s fine to be free but I’ll scream it out loud To find a reason I’m drowning in the sky To feel more freedom I keep running around Another one who hopes to reach this far Out of her own cage of the simple minds She feels like a ghost in her days passing by She feels like a ghost but one day she’ll get out I keep, I keep, I keep Running around, around me
7.
I can’t tell what is it that you’re waiting for I’m too blind to pick up the pieces laying on the floor You’re such a kind of a traveller But you never travel with me Never travel with me Saying goodbye to me I can’t let my hands fight against your waterfall So I can’t swim anywhere but straight to the bottom

about

Five years after their debut 'Distant Edges' and several singles, Places are releasing its successor, poetically named 'I Can't Let My Hands Fight Against Your Waterfall', recorded live in a single day in Studio Animan.

The band had planned a number of live shows for 2020 that turned to dust due to the situation.

"We released the single Quiet Sirens in March, and suddenly there's a hole after all the shows that were planned. We decided to fill that hole by rehearsing. Everyone around started streaming, and of course we also decided to record a live session. Cut and we're sitting in a van on the road to Tomáš Neuwerth's studio."

"This group of five from Ostrava started in 2010 as a rock'n'roll band. They later did not refuse acoustic sets and busking but they gradually worked their way up to the indie-rock present that can't deny either post-rock or shoegaze influences." - United Islands
