Hailing from Leicester in the UK, Radiant Split are a side project for part time musicians and brothers Peter and Mark Thorley, along with dad Chris. While all three are members of local rock group House of Spon, Radiant Split provides them an opportunity to make the prog-rock music that few others seem inclined to get involved in. Hopefully releasing their first album in 2005, the album will also feature their sister Helen Thorley, as well as a few guests from the local music scene.

Their contribution to the projekt ‘Remains the Same’ is the first properly recorded and published work of the band. It deals with loss, tragedy and life’s tendency to change dramatically, for better or worse.

Chris Thorley - Lead Vocal, Engineering and Knob-Twiddling

Helen Thorley - Lead Vocal

Mark Thorley - Drums

Peter Thorley - Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Backing Vocals

Remain The Same
Lyrics and Music by Peter Thorley

I never had a better dream,
Than life content.
Things like they never changed,
Our fates static.
Love has a bitter taste,
Where silence is torment,
And absence makes the heart grow fond,
Ever after this loss.

If I fall asleep tonight,
Would I remain there?
Sleepwalking everyday,
On oceans ill calmed.
Swept away those memories,
Words in transit.
The dead will never speak again,
But silence is telling.

Now whenever life,
Neglects you, hurts you,
Is it just another,
Cross you must bear?
After all I lost,
The feelings endure.
Why can’t anything just,
Remain the same?
