Voyagers 03:53
Into the fog we escaped, to become Voyagers of the unknown For when the home that you know, grows dim Its time….to travel on In the quiet corners of the soul, is the cry to touch the unseen Reach past the hands of the grave and stare out To the face of the deep Oh… So abandon all of your fear and set sail For a city of light Now the door to those lands Is the heart that you carry inside
2.
Turn my eyes back, to the place where I belong My dreams are lucid now Pale blue and creepy Will you hold me in your arms Tell me Great One, where did my faith begin So many voices here, so sure but so empty I close my eyes, reach beyond them and listen Let you awake me So let me die inside the light Be reborn inside Your dreams Cause I've lived a thousand years In the soul of a city of lost children Until you found me Redemptions calling...

Golden Light 04:56
Hang another mirror up upon your wall The old one has fallen down Sit there in the dark, waiting for the dawn To creep in from behind Out there in Your eyes, the endless sea of time Speaks without a sound Whispers to your heart, come back from where you are Believe once again… I don't mind that I can't see The way the wind is bling through the trees This is life and this is faith The darkness comes and then the darkness fades This is how it starts, a sees falls from the heart And sinks into the earth Rain falls from the clouds, they roll back and resound With golden light…With golden light I don't mind that I can't see The way the wind is bling through the trees This is life and this is faith The darkness comes and then the darkness fades Into golden light. light. light. light.

I'm a man Sent from the promised land Here to tell you all the secrets of the universe I'm the master plan You wouldn't understand If you won't even love your brother Burying yourself in comfort gold Its meaningless Cause everyone knows Or maybe they don't That redemption is the high road And you never pay one bleeding dime So children laugh and sing Fill it with light I already payed the price for your life Don't carry the cost on till the end Im the wine The blood of the crimson vine So go and bury all your judgment And let love make you a drunkard Till the end of time I'm the words The voice of the universe So come and die upon my doorstep And i'll give you all the beauty that you never earn
5.
The cross It was the license to kill Where all of hell was gunned down in a field And all my foolish deeds forgotten Left for dead upon the hill The price Was more than robbing the bank Cause when your buying life It might cost yours to get it paid And so he laid it down in silence So we would never taste the pain The license to kill is held by The Man Who plunders the night with blood on His hands Carries the broken inside His own ribs back home The license to kill belongs to The One Who forsook Himself to fight for our love Sparing all of His heart so that He could call us His own The fight Well it is over and won So hold your head up high Into the setting sun And love your brother like your Maker Till theres no breath left in your lungs….
6.
I'm jumping off this ship Don't know what the strangest part of it is The ship they call the modern age It fills you up with darkness And it just throws you away Too many years my hands had slaved Weathering themselves while digging up myself a fancy grave One night I heard a voice ringing clear Its said "I am Your Maker c'mon son now lets get outta here" Up from the sea Rise with We're in deep In the eyes of His hurricane Of all the fantasy in my mind Every grand illusion never thought that I would ever find The Spirit of the Infinite Keeper of my heart who set a fire to my sinking ship
7.
I just want to stare into The Son and get faded I just want to stare into The Son and get faded I just want to stare into The Son and get faded Oh, oh hearts on fire Oh, oh hearts on fire The light that we became well it don't ever stop shining When we're hanging by a thread He is always there shimmering brightly So open up your eyes now See the flames rising Oh, oh hearts on fire Oh, oh hearts on fire I just want to stare into The Son and get faded I just want to stare into The Son and get faded I just want to stare into The Son and get faded Oh, oh hearts on fire Oh, oh hearts on fire

about

The landscape of “Islands of My Soul” the debut release from Jason Barrows is as he would humorously describe it. “Sort of pretty, but sort of creepy...”

Growing up playing in psychedelic and americana bands in the Midwest he spent most of his time shaping blurry sounds to support other songwriters. After spending time with fellow Midwest musician Josh Garrels he started to discover that there was a potential to marry his spirituality and his taste for iconic musical expression.

Colored walls of synthesizers and 80’s era new wave guitars break through Barrows stunningly potent lyrics about redemption and the world that we are living in.

“These songs started out as my way to make sense of faith, and over time I used every sound I’ve ever wanted to try to turn them each into their own story”

The end result takes the listener from hauntingly slow to brightly epic.
