Historical Blunders
What if history, as we know it,
is full of blunders…even lies?
Spring of joy – summer of love.
Stormy autumn, then winter so cold.
Through the ages, - eternal time,
seasons of wither and seasons in prime.
Nature’s pantomime…or illusion sublime?
Well, - either way…
History, as we know it is our written heritage.
A cornerstone for knowledge and evolution, page by page.
Future expectations grow on past and present cues.
Tomorrow’s revolution mirrors yesterday’s review.
Teachers and preachers have told us that
fact is a fact, - no matter…
Dealers and healers have sold us
lie after lie, - for that matter…
Just what it is, - and always has been.
Just as it is, - and always will be…
Allow me to rewrite history. Nothing major, - just a twist.
But how would such minor changes have a ected
our post-historical understanding?
Well, - imagine if…
Moses was in Egypt’s land,
dealing ten commandments at a second-hand.
They’d bargain both state and fee,
then Moses walked home with only three.
Young David gazed at Goliath, the giant.
Courageous “dandy”, narcissistic – defi ant.
The stone fl ew with an awful hiss.
Bad aim, oh - what a miss!
These, and below examples indicate that even smallest
historical blunders would have, - and always will change
the shape of things to come.
What if Caesar never crossed the Rubicon?
Or Joan of Arc was someone’s only son?
What if Judas, - really was the faithful one?
And that guy Chapman never aimed his gun?
Our legacy renewed from a di erent point of view.
What if history, as we know it, is all full of blunders?
What if history, as we write it, is still full of blunders, - even lies?
What if history of tomorrow is built on
small conscious errors, blunders and lies…
What is our origin – where do we go…
Is the past at peace with a future unknown?
Cause life goes on, - no matter.
We can’t change the past,
but tomorrow will come…

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS!

I received this as a surprise present by the band for pre-ordering the upcoming album, so thanks a lot to you, too :-))
As could be expected by Pat Sanders & Co, highly melodic prog that should, for instance, appeal too friends of Fish-era Marillion (although Uncle Fish would never have reached those high notes ;-) ) and some instrumentals (from beautiful miniatures like Bubbles to the more epic Last Supper). Among many other fine things offered here, I especially love Pat's piano playing! Carsten Pieper

Exciting and full of a delightful range of sounds, Stations is a fine addition to the prog-rock genre. The two live tracks are very nicely recorded, and neatly match the impressive studio recordings for both overall scope and polish. Michael Reilly

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper
