    Produced by Dickie Ogden and the Set, Chemystry Set's fifth CD, Cobblestone Below My Feet, ferments three years of travel, storytelling, friendships, and recording magic into a rich and highly intoxicating elixir. On their fifth release, the band that has made a name for itself over the last ten years with boundary-defying music and message-driven songs is coming of age in this beautifully dynamic tapestry of tightly-arranged and rockin' compositions. Written during and after their 2003 European tour, Cobblestone Below My Feet is an invitation across language, culture, and consciousness. Like a carriage ride through history, hitting the cobblestone with an amalgam of sounds and an ever-fresh poetic luminescence, this album takes the listener into another time zone, all along establishing connections not only to the present, but the future of humanity. Includes beautiful black and white cobblestone photography by Debra Baida.

lyrics

Hello my hungry one,
where has your wisdom gone?
You've run a thousand miles
through hills of fame and almost there,
you forgot to breathe the air,
somewhere someone lost a view,
tell me is it losing you?
Good-bye my scenic friend.
This isn't what you planned.
Your strength is leaving you,
the freights and weights you carried up
are drinking from your empty cup.
Now that lights are dimming down
you get to take a look around,
and taste all of that.
I'm what you want to see
and you can be my destiny.
Your words dissolve in rain,
I'm the ink that flows in vain.
The world is guiding me
to buildings built for souls to find the stories they once left behind.
I'm sliding down an open road where no one's ever been before.
My mind is feeding me the things I am afraid to see.
A simple call for help, for laughter and for sympathy.
I crossed a bridge that night
when stormy waters deep inside took me for a crazy ride,
nothing left that I could hide, life is such that I incite
all of that.

about

Chemystry Set image

Chemystry Set San Francisco, California

Musicianship tight as an atom, music wild and roaming as the imagination of the unknown. It’s like everything and nothing I’ve ever heard, a screaming reminder that rock is rebellion and must be reinvented each time it’s played, or else it’s just pop.
