Really cool tune, Micky
Stands up really well on its own...and I agree with Pauly that it could perhaps be revisited and made into a cracking song.
Great title too...it’s coming...the United States in particular...I just wonder if we’ll go down with their ship...
Hi Micky, enjoyed the tasty analogue synth sounds. It made me think of very early Depeche Mode. Some infectious melodies and its got a solid, bleak industrial feel. Personally I think it's a shame to leave it as an instrumental though as it is strong and could really back up some lyrics well... maybe you could return to it later for version 2 with some words?
Hi guys, thanks for the supplemental comments. Theres a couple of reasons ive not included lyrics. , and Diademgrove picked up on this.
I would prefer the story to unfold in the listeners imagination. The title sets the scene, the rest plays out how you interpret it.
The second reason i havent included lyrics is because i would prefer not to speculate (at least in a song) on the details of the erosion of civilization, because im not well read enough. My opinion (for what it is worth) is that 2008 (and the banking crisis) was a watershed year for the Western Elite Liberal agenda, and everything that has played out since, is some kind of reaction to that. Whilst i dont necessarily believe we have reached the apex of the Western way, i do believe we are at a very dangerous crossroads, and if we dont fix inequality, then its going to get way worse before it gets better.
