Three Sides of a Tragedy I, by Man from the Box

Three Sides of a Tragedy I

by Man from the Box

supported by

Saffron Robe Dark and proggy concept album full of the horrors of urban life. One of the best albums I've discovered on Bandcamp. Reminds me of the graphic novel “Watchmen” when I listen to it for some reason. Favorite track: Unpleasantly Surprised.

1.	Was Better Before 02:12	lyrics	buy track
Silently walking down the streets where I once used to play Trying to avoid now all dark shadows Trying to make my way Nobody tells me if I gotta run Nobody guards my back Nobody tells me I might be wrong And that's awfully sad (Yeah...) I'll be back in a while I can handle this shit Love, I've done this before I just want to hang out a bit
2.	Wrong Place, Wrong Time 03:44	lyrics	buy track
You're going nowhere I've got the knife Stay put don't move Guess you like your life Just come I said just come, I'll take you!
3.	Unpleasantly Surprised 02:02	lyrics	buy track
No! What have you done to me! Is this my blood I can see?! What harm did I to you? To in this pain put me through I gave you all I have What else do you desire Got nothing left on me And you stand and watch me bleed (laughs) Don't want only these You give with some much ease So many things you have Need my eyes to brag? So what is your truth What are you afraid to lose I'll show you with this knife Don't wanna give your life
4.	Last Regret 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Can see you in our wedding day Can feel your kiss and smile Can picture you in my arms While we go wild, to ever be Could carry them with just one hand Afraid that they would break And now they run to me With a big smile, and hug their dad And now's all wrong Won't be going home Going to leave you alone I fought and I just lost How could I be so weak I fell, will not get up And now things'll never be the same Again

6.	Ignorance 02:44	lyrics	buy track
I'm waiting for someone to come We're going to a place I've never gone I don't know whom I'm waiting for I don't know where I'm going I'm hoping that this someone doesn't come I'm begging that he comes to go I don't know what I really want I'm just laying here Waiting For someone I don't know We're going To a place I don't know I know nothing I know nothing

about

"Three Sides of a Tragedy I" is the first in the trilogy "Three Sides of a Tragedy" and debut album for Man from the Box. The story, and inspiration, behind the music is based on true events. Living in a place where we share our mundane life with crime and violence, the simple wish of hanging out for fun may become a real tragedy. The unlucky ones depart too early and leave behind family and good friends.

This first piece tells the story from the victim's point of view - the dark face of a tragedy.

about

Man from the Box Gothenburg, Sweden

If you lived in Caracas in the late 90’s it is possible you heard his music when visiting the underground music scene, under a different name that is. A slow, dark and sometimes hard type of rock.
Moving through classic and progressive rock. Strange music, not everyone's cup of tea, but with a growing audience.
After a long 20 years retirement from music, he came back as Man from the Box. ... more
