  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This limited-edition CD package includes a lavish 28-page booklet, 'secret' document, and high-quality digital download card. Featuring photography by Lou Dommett Young.

    "Debut album of the year - it's absolutely stunning." The Titus Jennings Experience

    "Steve Tilling has made a compelling debut. It's a tight, dark intelligent album… albeit one plentifully and carefully decorated with accessible hooks and melodies... the depth of Tilling's wonderlust is his most progressive asset." Prog Magazine

    "Steve Tilling has given us a musical spectacle that will stand the test of time. Great songwriting combined with superb musicianship and a concept that works, CIRCU5 is a triumph." Progradar

    "CIRCU5 would unquestionably have been a huge ‘hit’ back in the day. And unlike some of Tilling’s prog contemporaries, who have a tendency to overegg – and often overcook – the pudding, it is equally palatable today. Impressive." Get Ready To Rock

about

Strangers following and visiting. Conversations overheard. Waking into nausea, watching both of you above, needles poised. Are you my parents? Who's Grady?

lyrics

I need to know myself
I cannot see myself in them
I hear the lies they tell
I will not let them make amends

Now I'm watching as you pull on the strings
You're making me dance to all your schemes
I'm wondering about so many things and nothing is ever as it seems

I must control myself
I cannot show my hand to them
Two lives in parallel
I will pursue them to the end

(I will not let you follow, I will not try to make you see that I could never be the one you wanted
I will not let you follow, I will not try to make you see that I could never be the one)
