    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.

about

written in Mom's garage in the German Alpes

lyrics

Sitting in a garden with berries and a beer.
A visit by a marten, the ancient sun is near.
I used to think that time would change the way I feel the beat,
but now I'm only treading cobblestone below my feet.
The senses set to overflow, a weary mind it mends.
Returning in the evening, magic garden filled with friends.
Golden nectar brewed so pure with barely more than wheat.
The easier to float with cobblestone below my feet.
Cobblestone below my feet, what we see is not complete.
Beneath the cobble is history's heap, but few want to dig that deep.
Another day in heaven, I look into the sky.
Mars is getting lower, and the Earth is getting high.
I used to think the devil moved to Stuttgart down the street,
but now I find he's stealing cobblestone below my feet.
We'll return unless this time's the only one we'll get.
All the family has gotten set, even ones we haven't met.
Rings of planets makin' rounds, their return we'll always greet.
Dancing fates tap out a code on the stone below my feet.
Cobblestone below my feet,
cobble the world and everyone you meet.
A stone so solid that you can build a center street.
Cobble me, cobble me, cobble me, make my stone complete.

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.
