This one took some time but I think it was worth it. We hit an 80's vibe with this one, Depeche Mode was mentioned a lot in the thread :)

Everyones performance on this track was stunning. Jwoo and Musobass locked in a very tight backing, Andy jumped out of his comfort zone and produced a great synth solo (!) and Severing produced some masterful lyrics topped by a very anthemic and powerful vocal.

My thanks and kudos go out to you guys ... you rock!

FLARES

Can't you see there's too many people in here
Can you feel the weight of all our lives?
Can you see which direction is clear
For a little peace of mind arresting your life

Find another way to survive {}
Although it's cold inside
Solar flares are wandering
Just try and hide

It's about time for you
It's about trusting everyone that sleeps {}

Will be rejected right away because pain embalms fear
Lonely souls are stones thrown in sympathy and resins all I hear {}
Footsteps of yesterday

Kissed by the sun once again to see what we've done
Next time around
We'll try to remember how
Very funny Spok ... now beam down my trousers.

Brilliant stuff, everyone! :)

Love the subject matter of the lyric, Severing...That driving, mono-chromatic vocal style of yours is infectious to the ear..."Another" great performance.

Mick you're a guitar guru. I love the pulse of this piece!

Thanks for the comments Cap and Johnny :)

I dunno about guru lol, but I'm trying to concentrate on my songwriting more these days. Also I seem to be enjoying playing the bass more lately, probably because it is new to me.

Yeah Cap, this really did come out well. More than pleased with everyones input :)

Hi Mick,

Thanks for letting me play on this one. It's an interesting arrangement.

Like the others, I specially like the guitars and the vocal.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks guys, glad you like it.

Well spotted Nick, it does kinda sound a bit like AIC. Can't be a bad thing right?

As for Severing, his lyric and vocal are top shelf in this track, big props to you, buddy :)

Andy, I can't thank you enough for jumping in on the lead synth. We were advertizing for qute some time but didn't get anyone. I really, REALLY, didn't want a lead guitar solo to fill that spot. You did a great job mate :)

Yeah Nice song guys....as a huge fan of the 'Mode' there's no resemblance to D.M. here though ...it does remind me of AIC like Nick says.  Overall I think you made a pretty cool song.   >:D

Haha - I didn't recognize this song by the title, but it sounded familiar right from the first note. ::)

Excellent job Sev... this was sooooooooo different from what I tried - that was where the Depeche Mode comparisons were made.
I agree with you guys about A.I.C.

Great work Mick/John/Andy/Muso/Sev 8) 8)


PS - Hey Mick, I noticed your friend Steve chimed in... is he gonna come back any time soon, or still having PC problems?
Damn it Jim! I'm a WRITER - not a Doctor!!
