Come by my side, my fellow, join me Breathe silent air in fading shades The tranquil view of our journey Giving away our future's shape Let's watch the sunset till it's midday The nature clearly lost its mind We've not much time before creation Of nothing of a human kind As smoke dispersed, the blue still draws us Into the depths of myriad lives We need not hurry, we are flawless Enough to make these endless miles We'll be drifting in the currents Of the ocean of our thoughts High and soft, the waves will bring us To the knowledge of outer worlds It's hot, we're bored, and time's gone backwards Allowing us to make a pause But still we're restless rushing forward Chasing our fate without a cause Oh, will we ever understand The loud people yelling 'round? We're forced to smile and shake our hands With those who don't respect the sounds

Can you still remember When the times have changed? You were in love Can you recall that purest age? We were holding our hands Like sisters and brothers And standing under the rain Stunned by lightning and thunders I'll see you soon when you'll be dreaming of summer of love We'll talk about the things that lovers talk about We're both misplaced in time and I know it 'cause it's summer of love Come on, give me your hand, make sure you're holding tight I still see the pictures Of those people around Most gentle smiles And tender bodies Have we all missed it? I say no, our love is still there Where the rain is pouring softly On the flowers in hair

Ishtar 11:11
Hold me, don't let me go Do what it takes, oh wisdom, my fate My faith, I hear you in outer lands Chanting the mantra, holding my hands Sneak in my mind Be gentle, be kind Be truthful, oh have I been blind? I am not anymore Introduce me to what I am To what we all are Is that Shiva and Ishtar? I meditate on third eye reality It is my time to question mortality To rise above lies, it is all passing by I've really gone far, is this Shiva and Ishtar? The universe opened right before my eyes What I see could never be seen before Should I ask for more Or should I close this door? I see Shiva and Ishtar Laying together Recreating the universe in their sacred passion This sight's my obsession But it's also my fear I'm not supposed to look Or am I? Or am I not? Up and down my conscience goes, now I behold the seed that grows Planted so long ago — nine thousand years My fear, my fear, what I see is true and so clear So beautiful and holy it is I see Shiva and Ishtar Laying together Recreating the universe in their sacred passion This sight's my obsession But it's also my fear I'm not supposed to look Calm down my child Wherever you go, it's your righteous way Thee shall not betray In this tantric love, you are shown the knowledge Beyond man's perception you've gone and acknowledged The mystic rebirth of us all And now you do know No fear, just go No fear, just go

Crimson sun sets down in deep blue ocean Abandon Samsara, embrace the sweet emotion It doesn't matter who's poor or rich I'll be surfing here, surfing Nirvana beach Warm breeze plays with her hair and kisses her face Don't care anymore about time and space It surely is the highest point one can reach I'll be surfing here on Nirvana beach Let this fresh air fill up your soul The beauty of freedom can't be controlled You will not hear their meaningless speech I'll be surfing here on Nirvana beach Give in to fragrance of this golden shore Take a good look — you've seen this, seen this before The answer to everything for what you've beseeched We're all surfing here on Nirvana beach Crimson sun sets down in deep blue ocean Abandon Samsara, embrace the sweet emotion It doesn't matter who's poor or rich I'll be surfing here, surfing Nirvana

about

Progressive heavy psych group Shiva the Destructor plays sprawling, spiraling rock music that is superbly sonically crafted for maximum atmospheric flow. Hailing from Kyiv, Ukraine, the formidable four-piece is a band of true compositional ambition.

Formed in 2012, Shiva the Destructor and its members are inspired by layers of rock culture from the past decades, pulling their own touch points from classics of the genre(s) to deliver their own personal take on the quintessence of psychedelic rock via eclectic composition, including extended instrumental pieces, incredible vocal harmonies and experiments with the electric organ, as well as brass and oriental instruments. What really sets Shiva the Destructor apart is its unique sonic armament which features guitars with distinctly different tunings (one detuned and one uptuned), which creates both gorgeous sound bath and elegantly piled waves of sound.

Work on the new LP, 'Find the Others', lasted for more than three years. Compositionally, 'Find the Others' is a remarkably fluid album—movement to movement and song to song, it flows almost as one continuous piece. Featuring five multi-suite, mini-epics -- many of them hovering around the 10-minute mark -- Shiva the Destructor has created a 45-minute space odyssey that’s meant to be listened to as a unified whole. Conceptually, the album follows the adventures of the titular title character, "Shiva", as he traverses the planet on a journey through the history of progressive psych music.

Over the course of the album's songs, Shiva travels around and through worlds, space and time. Finally, he arrives on Earth in the 1960's, and proceeds to wear worn-out jeans and rock out at Woodstock. It then chills on the beach to the sounds of surf rock, falls in love, roams the untouched forests, lapses into self-reflexive battles and comes to terms with himself at the outskirts of the universe. Shiva has fun, suffers, seeks and changes — like we all do. On top of that, the album contains several references and homages to legendary musicians and performers; lyrical and audio Easter eggs just waiting to be discovered by the listener.
