Nothing to become No act to be found out The comfort of being alone Remains With you around You just know when it’s right When there’s no need to lie It’s as easy as being alone When solitude departs As you enter the frame What is and what was They feel one and the same You just know when it’s right When there’s no need to lie It’s as easy as being alone The longing to escape That cries “enough - no more” Is never woken by you There’s no eye on the door You just know when it’s right When there’s no need to lie It’s as easy as being alone

If I try to take a step inside All confidence just repairs Too many turned down invitations Not enough strength to project Married to my imagination Always lost outside it Unnerved by crowds and occasions I do my best to hide it I have to try so hard to keep from running I’m the only one who hears the screaming A life of dreams A life of fiction Almost a ghost I’ll always travel in the other direction I’m good at being alone Everything’s always seemed More than a little apart from me You could say I’m barely there Outside looking elsewhere Feeling like none of this Is remotely real Feeling like I could turn And walk right out of this world And walk right out of this world And walk right out of this world I have to try so hard to keep from running I’m the only one who hears the screaming
4.
To disappear Without a trace To take my leave And stay away A final show A vanishing act A last performance And that’s that Wouldn’t that be bliss? Wouldn’t that be bliss? Be bliss? Here then gone Here and then Silence Nothing

After the release of "The last holy writer" (the sixth album by TREMBLING BLUE STARS), the stand alone "Exploring the shadows" EP features, as always, many previously unreleased tracks. On its CD format you will find four exclusive songs that were recorded as part of the album sessions, and were treated with as much care and given as much time.

The lead song, the sunny and melodic "Beautiful blank", is sung by Beth Arzy. In the form of an infectious, radio-friendly guitar pop song, it tells of an Edie Sedgwick-esque character and is titled after a phrase in Andy Warhol's book "From A To B". Bobby takes the lead vocal on another upbeat guitar pop track, "As easy as being alone", which goes back to the more melancholic and dreamy indie-pop style we have learnt to love from him.

The CD-EP is complete with the introspection meets experimentation of "Outside looking elsewhere", and the more experimental pastures of "And then silence", with its gloomy atmosphere and reverberated vocals. This last song ends up so abruptly ("and then silence") that you can't help but press 'play' and start again. And then again, and again. You're under the spell of the best pop music.
