Banner Year, the 2nd release in "The Singles" Series is a horn and harmony filled 5 minute mini epic. It is the most full expression of the grand orchestral pop leanings of The Magician & The Gates of Love with complex chord progressions, varied instrumentation, time signature changes, and vocal harmonies.
lyrics
I'll raise a banner,
I'll raise a banner, up over my head,
I'll raise a banner, and it's gonna be, all right.
It's enough to make you,
Never leave the confines of this very room,
I've seen my friends face, red, bloody and raw, alright?
Oh look what's happened to you,
I know, but it's what we humans do.
The wheels are turning, head is bursting at what I see,
The world is big and I am small and I want to eat, to sleep, to work, to trample all over it.

The Magician & The Gates of Love are the finest pop act in hibernation. Biological brothers singing harmonies. Non-biological brothers creating a lock-tight rhythm section, and a brother leading the group on keyboard and a keyboard bench.
