Thence was founded in 2003. Other musical projects of the members have contributed to the fact that the first album is only now ready. Music could be described as the slight melting pot. We've been captured elements to our music from rock, prog, jazz, blues, and also metal music. All of this has not been in any way deliberate but has become a full natural development as the music has been increased. Juha Sirkkiä founded the band in 2003. However, the band has been in the drawer until today. Erno Räsänen joined the band and immediately from that we started making the first album.
Thence’s first album, These stones cry from the earth, captures the atmosphere. Album has only one song and the total duration of this package is 57.09. We did not intend originally to do such a package, but still the music began to grow, it felt that this must be done in this way. The album is composed and recorded almost at the same time. Maybe that is the reason that the listener can not be leave unfinished, but it must listen it to the end. Hopefully, you will also do so.

Abundance
Thence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the smallest movements
Could break down the fragile ice
Hand search the hand
Groping the dark
And without fear
I'll help you to find there
For a minute I can be
You forget the grief
Only to grief more
Solitude, escape in the
Arms of another
You forget the grief
Only to grief more
And the candle seems to expire
It's getting darker again
You have that hallow stare
Where does this water flow?
Into the vast universe
Into a planet below
The years have left
Traces for both of us
The lyrics of Thence's song Abundance depict a search for comfort and companionship amidst pain and bleakness. The opening lines talk about the importance of stillness and caution as even the slightest movement could disrupt the delicate balance, perhaps alluding to the precariousness of the search for solace. The second line "hand search the hand" is a metaphor for reaching out to someone in need, and "groping the dark" implies a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability.
The chorus speaks of finding a momentary respite in someone's company, where the feeling of grief is momentarily forgotten only to return again with greater intensity. The candle that appears to flicker out represents the finite nature of this temporary relief, and the ensuing darkness symbolizes the return of sorrow. The question "where does this water flow?" perhaps questions the origin or purpose of the emotional pain that is being experienced.
Overall, the lyrics offer a poignant reflection on the cyclical nature of grief and the human need for companionship in times of distress.
