bkastorsky This is the most inspiring album by excellent musician and composer Antony Kalugin. He and his bandmates are from war-torn Ukraine, from the city of Kharkiv where Russians destroyed over 5,000 buildings and killed and wounded thousands of people. Yet they managed to record the album with beautiful, inspiring and melodic music! This is symphonic/prog rock with jazzy overtones at their best! Favorite track: Life Lines.

Life Lines 26:26
Timeless motion! Timeless motion! In the garden of the light Find your place, find your pride Shattered dreams will find it's way, Spread your wings and fly away. Yes, it's out there, Will you dare? To find someone like you, In the lakes of dreams And the oceans of passion In the garden of hope Time is now, make it right Fly by night, there's no way back! Meet the new day dawning New horizon glowing Timeless Motion! In the palace of the bloom Find your lane out of the gloom Blossom dreams will find its way Now, spread your wings and fly away Yes, it's out there, Will you dare? To find someone like you, Across the lakes of tears And the oceans of passion In the garden of hope! And when the raging waters finally, rest In the winds of the storm You will hear the song Song of joy, of love, of hope Your voice, yes real Time to reveal! Raise hands, Light's flare! We do, We share! Dark spaces are tangled Life line will find its way Through frames of the coldness and gray! Life line will trace it's way New wisdom will bring us the day! Time is now, make it right The time has come to make it right! Fly by night, there's no way back! Meet the new day dawning! The time has come to make it right, To feel the tide! In the mansion of the fools Hold on the line, follow your rules Keep the faith, you know your way Spread your wings and fly away! Yes, we'll meet there, If you'll dare To care of someone like you, In the lakes of fear And the ocean of passion... In the garden of Hope! In the garden of Hope! In the Garden! In the garden of Hope! In the Garden! Your voice, so real We all reveal! Raise hands, Light's flare! We do, Do care! Dark spaces are tangled Life line will find it's way Through frames of the coldness and gray! Life line will trace it's way New dawn will bring us the day! Beautiful creatures, they come and go Like some stolen dream My Crimson Queen She was real I know I will follow the sun, The moon and the stars! Nowhere is too far For my Crimson Queen! Wind blows in her hair, My Crimson Queen, She was once mine Loved and loved her In the Land of Green Secrets we both shared, My Crimson Queen, Loved and loved her In the Land of Green Morning haze, silver shades On velvet skin She was once mine In the land of green Secrets we both shared, My Crimson Queen, Loved and loved her In the Land of Green Beautiful creatures, they come and go Like some stolen dream My Crimson Queen She was real I know I will follow the sun, The moon and the stars! Nowhere is too far For my Crimson Queen! In the Land of Green Are you willing to ride the tide? Are you ready to ride the tide? Watch the waters arrive Are you ready to ride the tide? Feel the waters alive There's always tomorrow And always the tide Running away, running away, Running away, running away, Always the tide, always the tide Always the tide, always the tide Happy and lonely... Lonely but free Here by the seaside Running away, back to the sea Always the tide The tide… Forever, forever, forever... Always the tide! Running away, running away, Running away, running away,

We are back to the core Even after all the years long gone In doubt and silence Even though we tried to be strong The future and the past There's nothing you can take for granted Surrounded by the primal fear You close your eyes No memories – no regrets Unprotected and misplaced In the corner with folded wings The child in you won't be replaced! Only in wildest dreams You always return Still in my deja vu You walk alone... And when the lightning Cuts across the northern skies I face the rain And pray for you again and again and again... Only in wildest dreams Your smile still live And you always return! Only in my deja vu We walk towards the dawn once more! Down, down back to the ground Enchanted by the sacred sound Angels flying at my door Spinning shadows on the floor I tried to heal the wounds And searched for a kindred soul But lost the sense of direction Blinded by deceptive goal My thoughts are uncertain Intentions not clear When you're not there When you're not near! Only in wildest dreams Your heart still beating And you always return! In my deja vu We walk towards the dawn The child in me is now forgiven! And we'll keep on dreaming Under the northern skies For more! Nothing is written The future lies unknown! (The future lies unknown!) Even though light is fading (Light is fading!) The new life is born! Night falling! Star born! Pain flown! Angels flying at my door Spinning shadows on the floor In the valley of a stolen dream We always searched for the Land of Green! (For the Land of Green) To understand who we are On the angel wings we've been so far! And we always returned to Our land of dreams! Into the Land of Green And no-one was ever afraid to die We were the “fools on the hill” We were the kites in the sky! Flying high! Flying high! Golden hours, Exotic flowers Summer dream Is gone! Night falling! Star born! And we always returned to Our land of dreams! Into the Land of Green And no-one was ever afraid to die We were the “fools on the hill” We were the kites in the sky! Unleash your creatures, let them go Haunted visions – let them flow Addiction, fiction or a fact... Tears you hide – scars you collect Exotic creatures and a stolen dream Will fade away in a Land of Green No memories – no regrets Unprotected and misplaced In the corner with folded wings The child in you won't be replaced! Only in wildest dreams Your smile still live And you always return! Only in my deja vu We walk towards the dawn once more! Only in wildest dreams Your heart still beating And you always return! In my deja vu We walk towards the dawn The child in me is now forgiven! And we'll keep on dreaming Under the northern skies For more! I found myself awake Pale as glass, lying on the bed And she was near She was so real Even after all the years long gone I do believe we'll find our home In northern skies She's there, She's fine, She's here, She's mine...

New SUNCHILD album:
"Exotic Creatures and a Stolen Dream"
Featuring lovely artwork by Igor Sokolskiy and 3 mighty Ukranian guitarists.
It took about 4 years to create it!
Thanks for all your interest and demands for SUNCHILD to be released!
Official release is 9th of Jan. 2023.
Everyone who`ll pre-order CD, will get it as soon as the CD will arrive from the manufactory. So, let`s hope you`ll have it at a Christmas time.
26 mins epic will be available for you to enjoy straight away.
Actually album has only 2 tracks - but they are probably amongst the best prog songs I`ve ever written.
My dedication to mighty YES, Camel, Supertramp and Pink Floyd -
but what i can say - it`s a real SUNCHILD with it`s own face, power and identity.
Hope you`ll enjoy it and as always - THANK YOU for your support, especially during this dark period.
Let there be more Light and bright music, long may it continue!
Antony
