Liner Notes

Letting the Korg #Wavestate off the leash this morning. And I was having far too much #PlayWithDelay fun on the Squier Strat to notice that this had taken a #trance turn, instead of my usual #bigProduction #progressiverock ...

Lyrics

Taught you could have anything
and nothing need be earned
by destiny you thought was on your side
We're watching you discovering
one last lesson to be learned:
Reality can't always be denied

Insisting that a thing is true
When clearly it is not
like some grotesque, abominable child
The truth not just opaque to you;
it seems like you forgot
how deeply and how widely you're reviled

You loved to read "My Struggle"
(a thing you've never done)
No filter on the thoughts you spewed out loud
Morality was absent
Victim of your hit-and-run
Playing to the basest of the crowd

At last your wish was granted
and we're dancing in the street
The biggest celebration ever seen!
Elusive in your victory
But there in your defeat:
the most fun any funeral has been!

The opening air holds the tension so well until the track hits harder, creates some nice anticipation, really great sounding track!

@safred 1w

Lovely Chris, nice atmos with the wavestate textures and the floaty guitar is lush, as with all your tracks the sound production is quality!

Really powerful stuff, there's menace in that throbbing pulse that really suits those excellent, if grim, and very of the moment lyrics. I love it when the kick kicks in accompanied by those massive sinister sci-fi sweeps. Great stuff.

yup great drive, that back beat is good! I like all the parts that sit separate but play together nicely!'

@giantenemycliche 1w

Theres a really fantastic pulse to this. It feels really driving and focused.

Oh, this is LUSH!
The tension that runs through it is fantastic. I kept waiting for it to explode, and then there's that gorgeous moment around 2:50 when it snaps, yet it still keeps building.
Wowza.

That intro is killer. Builds, then the big hit. right into the vocals without getting too big. Masterful. This has an awesome slow build to it which hits at exactly the right times. Awesome.
