Echoes of Sleep
post-rock ambient/ethereal folk duet, breathy, ambient, folk, swelling guitars bowed strings sparse piano subtle drones morning field recordings vast reverb very slow no clear beat gradual build and decay dream dissipating, theme, sleep, female: breathy melancholic like a sigh, gradual, nostalgic, slow, male: hushed introspective fading spoken-word, rock

Lyrics
Verse
(Male)
Drifted skywards a shadow in mist
Lost shapes in a breath of frost
Was it mine? was it hers? was it ours?
The silence answers
(Female)
A whisper holds the weight of stars
Each word a falling leaf
Memory floats like ash on water
Cold light breaks
Prechorus
(Male)
If I held the sun—
(Female)
Would it burn my hands?
Chorus
(Both)
Echoes of sleep linger soft in the air
A world half-formed
Dissolving there
The dream
It fades
The dream
It stays
Until it doesn’t
Verse 2
(Female)
Fingers brush the edge of nothing
A tether frays
A thread unwinds
I watch the world forget my name
And call it peace
(Male)
Eyes half-closed I stumble through
A field of glass
A sea of dew
The ache feels warm
It feels like you
It feels like nothing
