New striking strokes

2 May 2022

Band: THE MIGHTY ORCHID KING
Who: Power pop collective out of St.Albans, Hertfordshire,
England, centered around singer/songwriter Jonny Bennett

Two years ago this art-pop-rock collective canned and released a grand album
of rainbow-colored psychedelia titled The Doctrine Of Infinite Kindness with environmental awareness as the common thread throughout.

A week or two ago it was Earth Day, the yearly day when all attention is focused
on environmental protection. This year the theme was Invest In Our Planet.

For this special occasion, The Mighty Orchid King wrote a new piece called Two Trees Tangled Together. When it comes to constructing a symphonic psych opus with multiple intertwined layers you always can count on this British orchestra. Like here again with swirling eurhythmics, with lush brass orchestrations, and with floating vocals.

At first, my ears couldn’t follow the spiralling flow as the music seemed to come from
all over the place. But after a couple of spins, the sonic puzzle falls into place. Riveting.

Lyrics

Two trees tangled together forever
Two trees tangled together forever
Unprepared by our simulated lives
There is the potential for the sublime
Whenever we leave these concrete boundaries
All these ideas seem somehow connected
We’re two trees tangled together forever
We roam the endless wastes which they have left
On these ancestral routes I unravel
And understand that we’re infinitely
Related, friends and equals in the wild
We’re two trees tangled together forever
I don’t have the words I need
To feel the flight of the golden eagle
I don’t have the words I need
To feel the flight of the golden eagle
And learn its poetry
But I felt something lift in me
Hearing the bells ring in blue cathedrals
Those whispering harmonies
