i'm your earth and you're my sky i'm leaving you alone with words of love far away from my polite smile in a cold cold world in a cold cold world when i'm your earth and you're my sky i'll let you cry, i'll let you breathe, lest this leads you to discontent i'll let you cry, i'll let you leave, go on with this, don't be afraid don't you understand please, don't be afraid don't you understand that love is unleashed only when you stop think of your desires we can't be together, we are not the same i'm your earth and you're my sky i'm your earth and you're my sky and you're my sky i ask your mind for what is love the answer lost or question set the emptiness inside of you will bring all things just like they do and maybe you're afraid to understand that you will never love and there's nothing left don't you understand... don't you understand, that love is unleashed only when you stop think of your desires we can't be together, we are not the same i'm your earth and you're my sky i'm your earth and you're my sky and you're my sky

i wanted to say that the wind is still blowing i wanted to feel how the sun'll be rising i wanted to see how the autumn is fading i wanted to dance with the leaves and clouds of dust i wanted to say that the heart's full of sandstorms i wanted to say how i needed this moon i wanted to say that the clouds fly down i wanted to feel how the fever brings inside hate and eternity love and despair in velvet entwined temptation and wine tears and rage in a heart shaped box soon i will hate for your love soon i will live for your love soon i will love again soon i will love again soon i will love soon i will hate soon i will love soon i will live again soon i will hate soon i will love soon i will live again soon i will hate soon i will love soon i will live again soon i will hate soon i will love

about

Straight from the heart of snow-covered Russia, after three long years of silence, one of the country's most well-renowned dark scene acts, Purple Fog Side, returns at last with “Reality Awaits”.

Founded in 1996 and led by Pavel Zolin, a talented musician and sound producer, the band has evolved with various line-up and stylistic changes, yet has always maintained its signature feel and sound. This new album marks the band's seventh record and showcases yet another impressive progression in its evolution, highlighted by remarkable musicianship and composition throughout.

“Reality Awaits” delivers an elegant blend of synthpop, dreampop and gothic rock, with deep melancholic lyrics performed with a captivating combination of male and female vocals. Reminiscent of artists such as Cocteau Twins, Bel Canto, Escape with Romeo and The Eden House, the album has already received many positive reviews from well-known musicians in the European scene, with many claiming it to be one of the best albums in the band's history.

The album is to be released on March 26, 2013 in collaboration with two Russian labels - SkyQode (digital version) and Shadowplay (CD version). The CD version will be available in a 4-panel digipak with a solid 24-page booklet that includes a collection of unique photographs by the talented artist Sofia Skobeleva.
