Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Jason "jhimm" Himmelberger's symphonic rock is quite obviously inspired by the music of the 70's - especially some "Pink Floyd" and "Alan Parsons Project" shine through unequivocally. There's also a definite proximity to AOR present in the songs - a trait which I positively appreciate. Favorite track: Different Eyes.

Brian White Discovered this album by investigating other peoples collections. Its worth getting just for the opening track alone. Such a beautiful melodious song. The whole album is good and well produced a great find. Lush arrangements give it that bit extra.
Fantastic piece of work.

Sad old man sits in his room, counting the things he owns. Found a box half full of memories. Life he used to know. Once a poet so debonair, words would flow like rain. The drought that plagues his fragile mind, and words...would never come again. And he knows, and he sees what he is now Pictures in the box, face of a happy man. Love letters and trinkets, gifts from long lost friends. His arrogance and ego drove them all away. In his heart a cancer grows, derived from loneliness There's no life outside that box, no hope...there's nothing left to say. And he knows, and he sees what he is now

Hold your breath. Stay your words. Just sit and listen. I hear your point, see your view, but something's missing. Just because we don't agree, it's not the end Of the world, of our lives. This makes no sense. We can choose to fight, to have it out or find another way. We can see the world through Different Eyes today. Face to face, eye to eye, the battle's hard. Draw your lines, resupply, then play your card. And I hear your side, I shake my head and firmly disagree. I don't expect from you the same resolve as me. Find another way. Through Different Eyes today. He yells, she cries. She accuses him of lying 'bout the money he spent. They've been at this for hours. Cover my head with the pillow. Doesn't seem to help. I think of Disney. Can't they deal with this another day. Another day. Another way. Find another way. Through Different Eyes today. And the damage done to little ones is irreversible. We should try and change and find a better way. Find a better way. Through Different Eyes today.

You can lose your grip on life You can spiral down And the emptiness inside you Can pull you to the ground You didn't make the choice You let the choice make you And sometimes just surviving Is all you can do. All you can do And you'd like to make a change But you know it's not your call You're standing on a ledge And you're about to fall I can see you suffering I know you're losing control of everything You could break it and get yourself a job You could shake it. We'll all be here for you....if we have the time And you have to make a change We know it's not your fault You're balanced on the edge And you're about to fall I've lost my grip on life Begun to spiral down And the emptiness inside me Pulls me to the ground I didn't make the choice I let the choice make me I guess I'm just survivin' It's all I can do. All I can do And I have to make a change I know it's not my call I'm standing on the edge And I'm about to fall

Within the darkness, there is light Within the coldness, there is warm Among the others, you are strange And within the shelter, you are safe And you feel you're part of something There must be more for you Your eyes are looking swollen Those pills will take their toll on you Your skin is looking pale Your clothes are smelling stale on you You fail in social settings These times are worth forgetting, you You say the end is near The future's crystal clear for you And you feel you're part of nothing And I feel the same way too And inside your fragile mind You fear the memories you will find It's where you learn To live within, to live without Spaces in the shed And they're all inside your head Don't you know, it's what your life is all about And inside your restless mind There's another hill to climb Climbing up to the top of the world You know it's not your call You're afraid you're gonna fall You don't know what your life is all about

I was young when I went blind Couldn't see the truth right before my eyes Spent some time alone, fading into... Life Between the Waves, waiting for the tide Further the under, deeper the blue...

I can see it in your eyes You didn't realize Living life is easy when you're young Watch the hours fade away Into another day And now you find yourself at 41 Take the time Live your life Every day, dying... The mirror doesn't lie You need to say goodbye To the face you knew just yesterday Living life between the waves With nothing left to say Waiting for the tide to wash away Take the time Live your life Every day, dying... Take the time Live your life Another day, dying...

Falling Down 06:40
waiting for the light of day to chase the dark away and push the pain aside I can't help but turn away from the headlines of the day. hope is taken with the tide I feel like I'm falling searching for the words to say to take the hurt away and push the fear aside I can't help but feel betrayed, our humanity's decayed. trust is taken for a ride I feel like I'm falling falling down restlessness, waiting for the light of day emptiness, searching for the words to say helplessness, I can't help but turn away hopelessness, and I can't help but feel betrayed I feel like I'm falling, the situation's calling for a change falling down

about

"First realization of quality multi-instrumentalist Jhimm offering compositions with unstoppable melodic lines" - musicwaves review

"Fans of Kevin Moore (Chroma Key), Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Genesis, OSI, etc., will find something very appealing with Between the Waves. The production is top notch. Buy it now!" - Amazon customer review

"jhimm has certainly produced a fine album. He is a gifted multi-instrumentalist and great songwriter, and I hope his talent does not go unnoticed for much longer. In my opinion, jhimm sounds like a wondrous blend of Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, and Coldplay- a softer, mellow art rock that truly is a pleasure to listen to. Even if you appreciate harder rock or metal, you will not be disappointed by this album." - progarchy review
