Rhombic Void- Part II
Filter
Stand Stand
Blues rock- ballad. Rod wrote the lyrics as a poem and when Tim came up with the bass line, Don added the chords and a simple and yet beautiful melody over the top. It has a sort of "Dire Strait" influence to it.
Dream World Dream World
Keeping in line with the title, the music for this song is dreamlike with a slightly medieval feel as well. One of our "pop" numbers, the words (by Timothy Heseltine) are as deep as you're willing to make them.
Traveller Traveller
Jazz-rock. This song was our first original composition. The words have vague meanings about the pilgrimage of life.
Courage in that lonely hour Courage in that lonely hour
Rock with a hint of Latin. This song is about the long and winding road of life, with allusions to the spiritual battle with its highs and lows. I has a mixture of influences, with a Flamenco rhythm and Pumpkinesque melody line.
Land of the Living Land of the Living
Blues Rock. This one was originally composed by Don (the guitarist) and is based on the movie "Saving Private Ryan". A slow, bluesy number with a vaguely reggae feel to the rhythm.
Burning Eyes Burning Eyes
Funk rock- atmospheric. One of our oldies, Burning Eyes is a small epic. Slightly atmospheric in the verse we tried to contrast that with a melodic (but dark) chorus.
Only the Lonely Only the Lonely
Blues rock. This song was one of our earliest compositions. It is simple but catchy, even thought the lyrics are flavoured with a bit of "doom and gloom." A bit of a Hendrix influence to the guitar.
Fire Breather Fire Breather
This is one of our rocky numbers. starting with a drum solo, then building up with bass and bursting in with a fiery guitar riff. It also has a mellow interlude that provides a balance.
