about

both MNTN and I feel this is the pinacle of our work together thus far - and personally, I feel this is the best piece of music I have yet made!!

it started from a concept - MNTN suggested we do a piece which started small, and got big... really big...

I really liked the concept, and sat with my Bass VI, where the opening riff literally fell out of me, and so began a quest to explore that simple little riff to the nth degree...

part-complete, I sent it to MNTN who added his stunning vocal - and I filled in some of the remaining gaps with my own harmonised vocal response...

with both vocals in place in that basic arrangement I set about finessing it, obsessively - resulting in the final version that you hear now... with added magic to the mastering by TwinsighT - thanks man!!

lyrics

this is the end
it’s time for bed
I feel so dead

this is the end
I don’t know how
it came this quick

I’ve reached the end
nothing to do
floating upstream
it’s all just dreams

this is the end
this is the end

I’m glad I
found you…

confusion reigns with long strings of words...
ideas take flight, and soar like they're birds...
some fall before they fly,
sometimes they fall and die,
but you just have to try...

my luck is drawn
I can’t complain
taken for granted
all of the things
just put me down now

just put me down now
I’m way too loud
drain through clouds
fears are for rain

don’t complicate
our earth is full
of so much hatred
I can't calm down

confusion reigns with long strings of words...
ideas take flight, and soar like they're birds...
some fall before they fly,
sometimes they fall and die,
but you just have to try...

you hit the peak
I can’t compete wow
stuck in your head
I’m scared to see
I can’t calm down
the world's on fire
life seems so bleak
I can’t calm down

I can’t calm down
the world's on fire

the world's on fire
with all of the hatred
