Top Tracks of The Caretaker

A1 - It's just a burning memory
All you are going to want to do is get back there
Libet's delay
Moments of sufficient lucidity
The great hidden sea of the unconscious
An empty bliss beyond this World
Mental Caverns Without Sunshine
A relationship with the sublime
Bedded deep in long term memory
Camaraderie at arms length
Pared back to the minimal
Tiny gradiations of loss
The sublime is disappointingly elusive
I feel as if I might be vanishing
A2 - We don't have many days
It's just a burning memory
A4 - Childishly fresh eyes
A3 - Late afternoon drifting
Mystery
A5 - Slightly Bewildered
A6 - Things that are beautiful and transient
B1 - All that follows is true
B2 - An autumnal equinox
B4 - The loves of my entire life
B3 - Quiet internal rebellions
B6 - My heart will stop in joy
B5 - Into each others eyes
We don't have many days
False Memory Syndrome
Late afternoon drifting
Childishly fresh eyes
Cloudy, Since You Went Away

Everything is on the Point of Decline
As if one were sinking into sand
When the Dog Days Were Drawing to an End
C1 - A losing battle is raging
Slightly bewildered
Lacunar Amnesia
C3 - What does it matter how my heart breaks
Approaching the Outer Limits of Our Solar System
Things That Are Beautiful And Transient
I Feel As If Might Be Vanishing
All That Follows Is True
A Last Glimpse of the Land Being Lost Forever
An Autumnal Equinox
C4 - Glimpses of hope in trying times
Persistent Repetition of Phrases
The Homesickness that was Corroding Her Soul
C5 - Surrendering to despair
We Cannot Escape the Past
Quiet internal rebellions
Rosy Retrospection
In the Deep and Dark Hours of the Night

The loves of my entire life
