Lycia is an American dark wave band formed in 1988 in Tempe, Arizona. The main personnel of the band are Mike VanPortfleet, Tara VanFlower and David Galas. Although only achieving minor cult success, the band is notable for being one of the ground breaking groups in darkwave and ethereal wave styles. Their 1995 album The Burning Circle and Then Dust received some attention for the power pop hit song "Pray" and "remains a high point of American dark rock", according to AllMusic. Lycia's music is characterized by rich soundscapes and layers of echoed guitars, dark and ethereal keyboards, doomy drum machine beats, VanPortfleet's melancholic, whispered vocals and Vanflower's vivid voice. Trent Reznor and Peter Steele are some of their more well-known fans. more »

Somehow we end up the oldest around 
And time moving past isn't slow 
We stretched out our branches, we sunk them in clouds
Unwinding our roots out below 
Unwinding our roots out below

The storms of our younger years felled quite a few
We came near to breaking at times 
We only stood up to the weight of the wind 
With our roots together entwined
Our roots together entwined

Through everyday motions of life's gentle winds
We've worn through the bark here and there
But if you listen closely the music you'll hear 
Is a love song with each breath of air
A love song with each breath of air

It's a million-to-one that we'll fall the same day
It won't stop me wishing it so 
Sometimes we hear sawing just over the ridge
And my but the wind sure can blow
My but the wind sure can blow

So now we end up the oldest around 
And time moving past isn't slow 
We stretched out our branches, we sunk them in clouds
While sheltering others below
 Sheltering others below
