Anekdoten is a Swedish progressive rock band, comprised of guitarist/vocalist Nicklas Barker, cellist Anna Sofi Dahlberg, bassist/vocalist Jan Erik Liljestrom and drummer Peter Nordins. They are notable for the use of the mellotron and the heavy and trippy sound, dominated by a pounding bass guitar. Their music is associated with the tradition of 1970s progressive rock music, especially the one of King Crimson, but they have also covered songs by Van Der Graaf Generator and Magma on their live performances.

Gravity Lyrics

Anekdoten

soon an angel's leaving
they're ruled by laws of gravity
soon this door is closing
and you'll never know unless you go
no, you'll never know if you won't go

wishing well of wonders
glitter box of dreams
inside lie bitter pills
you know i never wanted
to sing for your lover
but the angels sang of love
and outside the night was falling

fly - fiery angels kiss the sky
won't you shine your light down on me
fly - through the blazing cosmic eye
no, you'll never know if you won't go

eleven ways to lose your mind
seven ways to shine
four doors that may take you in
one that's closed behind
i should have seen you leaving
but i never thought you'd go
no, i never thought you'd walk away

it's getting dark, too dark to see
and angel's a long time gone
too many things i can't combine
with logic reason
how can i tell the black from white
if all is black and blue?
god knows where i'm going
when the keeper waves me through...
