"Fly up to the heavens, anchored in the clouds
Fly beyond the night, love the blooming sounds
Maize and cries, neon lights pushing and light
Taking flight to raven heights to turn on and shine
And the sun sinks over the big smoke
The sky explodes on the shuttering lake."

There are several things that can make me like a band or an artist. Naturally the music itself is important when discovering a new act.  Another important aspect for me, as you know, is the lyrics that the group or artist write and sing in their songs.

A third reason why something catches my attention is the band name. This may sound ridiculous but when I first heard of a band by the name Great Lake Swimmers I just knew that it was the beginning a new enjoyable experience.

Now, a few years later, I know that I was right. Great Lake Swimmers is a band that I still listen a lot to.

Great Lake Swimmers – New wild everywhere is found on the record “New wild everywhere” released in 2012.
