As is that repeating melodic guitar line from Scott, nice hook.

Great lyrics!

Good vocal and rock solid bass, another solid team effort. Enjoyed!


Dave,
I worked hard on that intro- thanks for the mention of it and your other likes.

Not many songs could start out with "in the ruins of a song" but you guys turn up the interest early and keep it going strong. I love the alliteration that follows: "radio radiation ripples". Man, Spirit Level is rises every time you guys collaborate, even in the dystopian world.




Marty,
I`m glad you found the song survived the opening lines!
Thanks for your listen and thoughtful comments.

Well-written lyrics. I love the sound of the lead guitar which reinforces the mood you wanted to create. Dark atmosphere in which you plunge us. The discreet cello reinforces the enigmatic atmosphere. I liked it.

Kindly regard

As mentioned, cryptic and dark. Robert, you have such a way with lyrics and have a unique (in a good way) voice. Personally, I'm okay with the vocal being deep in the mix. I think it only adds to the drama and emotion you are striving to deliver - and you deliver it most effectively.

Definitely not a fun song, but that said, I song well done and delivers the message as intended. Ands that's what's important - did the song effectively deliver the message and the mood. And I would say - Yes and Yes.

The intricate melding of the many tracks must have taken quite some time and patience. However much time and effort you put into this, from my perspective, you were nicely rewarded.

Tip of the hat to all involved. Well done!

Alan


Alan,
I`m not sure Spirit Level has done a fun song to date...it seems some are drawn to the dark side!
Thank you for taking the time to get into this and send us your supportive thoughts

Not sure why this reminds me of Live—a combo of the vocal and those chord changes maybe—but really cool track, gentleman. I think for me among your best,

Hope all is well in your worlds (dystopian or otherwise),

I don`t know Live-will have a listen.Really appreciate your approval of the vocal as its more forceful than I usually attempt.
All is well if we can continue playing whatever the state of the world.

Robert
