“Fractures” by Wells – A Song Review

     “Fractures” is similar to a tour bus through musical sites. It begins with a visit to a location that features minimalistic instrumentation, yet a lyrical richness in painting an understanding of the individual and his position regarding a relationship. A best guess at the lyrics is included below. At the 0:55 mark, the instrumentation increases in depth. The depth is again increased at 1:43, after the lyrics poignantly state, “I curse my whole life for every moment I could have spent with you.” It’s then that the electric guitar steps forward. Still, the song doesn’t reach a Rock destination until the crescendo of 2:50.

    “Fractures” is a song from Wells, a band from Sydney, Australia. The members are Alastair Cairns, Richard Bessell, Daniel Shaw, and Joshua Isaac.

Lyrics of “Fractures” by Wells

Crooked little vein I'll trace from your heart to mine

Then from blood until on my palm it did remain

Laugh of love and memories reduced to a crease in skin

Yours was vast, mine was short and splintered into three

The first floor I'll last, the second pale king

The third the name of father, he gave me

As the son of a physicist, was it Sisyphus

A fracture in the story I refer it as my life

I took you by the hands I led you through the countryside

You can watch the flock from a great height

I whispered in your ear something you'd later call as queer

A stage name, a baptism and a prophecy

A Holy Trinity, something sacred and profane

The laws are built upon until they reach obscenity

It's the weight of time going

I held you in my arms for the first I knew it's not enough

I break down

Now I curse my whole life

For every moment I could have spent with you,

You, you, you

The water broke between you and I

Something was birth brought which I cannot describe

Decide who you are, my first and last

My alpha and omega, you pass

Spread those songs I sing from love

Bring the others and allow them to be forgot

I realize now the error in my ways

Believe that the scene was the man who made in the first place

Now I burn I said in blindness we subside

My shot pierces the heart of the Leviathan

It's the weight of time going

I held you in my arms for the first I knew it's not enough

I break down

Now I curse my whole life

For every moment I could have spent

The weight of time going

Tore you from my arms

And watch you ways you disappear from sight

I wait my fate, tip out the hands

The ghost that somehow I expired

With you, with you, with you

With you, with you, with you
