The Exploration - это три американских чувака из, если верить их майспейсу, города Стерджис, что в Мичигане, США, которые для меня являются последним оплотом эмо-музыки в том плане, что после них я ничего трогающего не встречал. В 2008 (?) году они образовались как сайд-проект (чей - я не знаю), в январе 2009-го записали одно демо, в конце мая - другое и разошлись, оставив после себя, извините за пафос, невероятной красоты музыку и пробирающие до глубины души тексты. Поверьте, вы такого больше не найдете ни у кого.
На басу играл Майкл Герштэйн (Michael Gerstein), на барабанах стучал Майк Кили (Mike Keely). Группа была собрана Кайлом Уэйном (Kyle Wayne), автором музыки и текстов и, по-совместительству (хи-хи), гитаристом. Тексты - это немного неподходящее слово для тех произведений, которые Кайл читал в своей неповторимой манере. Да, может, кому-то они покажутся чересчур напыщенными, что ли, но факт остается фактом - ни до, ни после The Exploration в жанре, который мы так любим, ничего подобного не создавалось. Если я ошибаюсь, поправьте меня, буду очень рад. Ребята успели отыграть, наверное, с десяток концертов с группами вроде Midwest Pen Pals, Merchant Ships, Grown Ups и т.д., которые кажутся мне лишь бледной тенью The Exploration. У кого-то из них даже был явный закос под стиль Кайла.
А затем, в июле все того же 2009-го года, группа "умерла". Не распалась, а именно "умерла", то есть сменился стиль (правда, несильно), название. Как описывает причины сам Кайл, "they (Майкл и Майк) came in on the first day of practice, and i just told them how to play the parts that i had already written. and thats no fun for me or for them. the whole point of permanent members is to have them bring their own style and talent to the band to create a unique sound together. and we cant do that if i continue writing whole songs, and then telling them what to play. so, we are changing our name, and we are writing the new music together. we are all equally contributing to the final product, and so far, i couldnt be happier with what is coming out." Краткое содержание для тех, кто не особо силен в английском: ни Кайлу, ни прочим ребятам не нравилось то, что все создает Кайл, а Майк и Майкл лишь играют написанные им партии, и они решили свернуть Эксплорейшн и перейти к новому проекту. Назвали новый проект Willower, и вроде даже записали какое-то количество материала, вроде как четыре песни, из которых мне удалось отыскать только две, с майспейса. Надеюсь, это не конец, хотя все указывает на это.
Итак, мы имеем семь песен с двух демо-болванок, две песни, записанные ребятами уже под названием Willower и, как бонус, песню с майспейса Эксплорэйшн, которую Кайл, видимо, записывал один. Послушайте, не пожалеете. Повторяю в третий раз: такой музыки нет ни у кого.
Наслаждайтесь.

Lyrics
THIS WILL BLOSSOM
i close my eyes, and i still see you there,
a figuire of beauty that i wish to hold,
so draw nearer my dear and i promise that i will not let you go,
you wont think chasing after love.
dont you,
want to be close to a heart that is warmer than yours?
cause i do,
wont you spend the rest of your life with me?
I GUESS, I'M LEAVING
you are breathing for us now,
leave your life here behind,
you will never come back home,
no sir, never again.
you can open your eyes now,
feel my hand on your back,
they say its time that i leave,
i say im sorry for this.
the rest of the planet is racing to find,
the power that lies to the west of these lines,
we are fighting to have it has filled us with greed,
and its thousands of people like you that we need.
bury your past, your future is ours, forget any memories that you thought were yours,
get on the boat, its time we set sail, if we wait any longer, no doubt we will fail.
dont ever forget me, cause i wont forget you, hold tight to the times that we had,
when we were young and in love, without a care, your head on my shoulder,
as we sat on the porch, my hand inside yours as time past us by, we only grew older,
it only got colder, until all the fires, burning desire for you and for us, and for our,
family to be, under the tree, its easy to see, that you really want this, as much as i do,
i will love you, untill the day that i die, and fall away, ill be here to catch every tear that falls from your face,
keep it up darling, ill never be gone, no matter how long, it has been since you have seen, my spirit in the wind.
im sorry,
so sorry, im leaving.
THE OCEAN
the ghost of your absense,
holding to my words,
i have fallen away from,
prior thoughts and ideas,
hopeless you found me,
weaping under the tree,
only they seek the power,
that cannot be found.
and now i puase, silent, thinking of you.
the lives that we led, the memories, the love we had true.
holding tight to what we had, our son was then born.
melted together, stronger then ever, our love is life glued to the floor.
i am always waiting on you,
i will be here rotting for you,
darling come back, no matter the distance,
darling come back, no matter the time.
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE
ive paced across this island,
to search for signs of life,
built shelters, and made fires,
breathing only for my wife,
but sadly seems i wont be making my way back to you,
will never feel your hand again, held firm inside of two.
with all your mind, let go of me, reach deep inside your heart,
and know that i have loved you dear, all of my days from start,
raise young drew, well and strong, i send my love to him,
and if he ever strays or falls, pick him up again.
it seems i cant, release your hand,
and let slip the time that we spent,
cannot we dream that im still there?
for i will always be, there with you.
GONE
growing up without you, was never all that bad.
do you remember all those times, that we never had?
without a cause i am alone, simply drifting with the dust,
of the wind that takes with it all of my trust.
just a child, just a teen or somewhere in between,
i am found without, i highly doubt that you will ever make it back,
in time to see my face, sweetly tucked away on the hay,
where i lay down every night, at the sight of brilliant stars in the sky.
why did you leave? pussy's too afraid to fight,
for what you did believe in, guess society is right,
then watch me follow them, fall away into a life of greed,
ill never be the man you imagined i would be.
MEETING
there was a sam at the fire,
he spoke soft through a beard.
to him i reached out my hand,
as he was holding back tears.
i said, im looking for something.
he told me, im searching too.
and then out spilled the words,
if you help me, then ill help you.
call it a promise, it's something that i wont forget.
tell if i follow, you'll take me home to hold my love again?
WATCHING IT PASS
it pains me to know, the bond we once had is falling apart.
the hearts of two are gold, split by the distance how awfully fucked.
so hard we did try to keep it alive,
but we split in direction, and slowly it died,
so give your goodbyes to the time that we used,
in building a future for me and for you,
did most always say always, and that was the key,
in helping it grow into what it could be,
but things dont look good now, for them or for us,
youll never believe, if you cant learn to trust.
i close my eyes, and i still see you there,
a figuire of beauty that i wish to hold,
so draw nearer my dear and i promise that i will not let you go,
you wont think chasing after love.
dont you,
want to be close to a heart that is warmer than yours?

SERGUE
i dont know how it feels, to not feel yourself. ive spent years without trying, to be anyone else, than who i am. and i recall it all so clearly, how vivid the time unfolding in the back of my mind the past is retold. softly spoken words, that drifted with the breeze. open minded folk, have never bothered me. questions, question; who are you to speak your peace? i guess i thought we were friends. but we will keep moving onward, accepting the love of these innocent strangers. we dont need you.
ID LIKE TO VISIT THE VALLEY (DOWN IN THE VALLEY)
i would wait for you if you'd wait for me; never give up. tell me what is distance my lover? simply trust in the power of fate provoked hearts separate to grow near. dare we let this unfold? so well try to keep this alive i wont let you down. i found joy laced with hope and beauty and peace, why must i stand thousands of miles away? from you from me leaving here.
