Open up those petals, flower.
Dance as you drink in the sun.
Now spread those wings & fly, young seagull.
Touch the sky above the clouds
And beneath the stars we sat down.
She calmed my trembling hands.
And the heavens dark parted the clouds
to reveal the Moon
[Forbidden]

What does the future hold? “Dear Animals” lays out, both magnificently & alarmingly,
a particular horrorscope in an open letter from humanity to the rest of the animal
kingdom.
Possibly the greatest song by the legendary band Bad Tune Men was ‘The Lines
are Down’. The glorious Separation Circle has reworked its indubitable magnificence.
“Eris”
is the Goddess of Discord. Discord has long been an important feature of Separation
Circle (& associated) music. She is always going to feature in our lives regardless
of whether or not we invite Her to the feast. Learning to live and work with Her
could be highly prudent.
“Mind the Gaps” offers various perspicacious perspectives of the 1st wave of the
2020 coronavirus pandemic lockdown and it’s bloody brilliant.
“Revisited/Resurrection”
tells of the simple joy of an unexpected reunion.
Nearly 12 years after ‘Glass Bubble
Home’, when many were already concerned about climate change, not only has the situation
deteriorated considerably but those leading us are, instead of addressing it, actively
making matters much worse. They could have stopped the climate change catastrophe,
“But Chose Not To”.
Far from typical of the sort of rubbish that the Separation Circle
usually churns out, “Warm Beneath the Sun” tells of a parent’s love for their newborn
child.
“One for One China” is a homage to humanity’s newest superpower.
“The Painted Wolves (Come Tomorrow)” tells the simple tale of an endangered, often misunderstood & marginalised African animal species. Their future prospects remain uncertain.
This is indeed the website of the glorious Separation Circle, purveyors of bloody awful music aimed primarily at masochists & the tone deaf. Enter & explore at your own risk.
In addition to the alleged music, there are songwords which are intended to stand in their own right as poetry. Whether or not they do is not for you to say; it’s for us to say & we say they do. So there.
Musical themes explored from time to time include playing with chord progressions, discord, rhythm, time signatures & seeing how they bend. The Separation Circle does not claim to be unique in carrying out such explorations but we like to think our style of exploration has a certain putrid panache to it.
Verbal themes explored are most of the usual ones: life, breath, space travel, pigs, monkeys, airports, birds, a loss of the ability to fly, cafeterias, harbours, shoes, missing limbs, a dead octopus, indoctrination, train journeys to be avoided & the elaboration of attachment theory.
There’s other stuff too: but we’ve tried to hide it as well as possible.

So save me sunbeams
Rescue me a rainbow
Capture me her caress.
Relive lost laughter.
Freeze frame on finger fizz.
Draw the drop of her dress.
