This is the only song thus far that I've, 1: recieved help on from outside sources/friends and 2: not done any vocals for. It also has a very different feel to it...much less trippy than ones like Contact, but I think it has a very good message.
Psst! Please look in here! I promise* it won't TOTALLY mess up your taste in music!
*Promise not valid in all areas. Contact your local promise represe
Story behind the song
As I said before, this song is a colaboration between myself and my friend John Thomas, who played bass and the organ in the end, as well as sang the vocals. I feel it is one of the most important songs of the CD, if only for the reason that it sets the theme for the entire thing. It also has a very nice message...criticizing the radio and mainstream media, as well as the way that media has been able to reach us and transport messages that have changed history.
Lyrics
And tears stream, like falling rain,
Massive signals to the brain,
Broadcast show, is in vain,
'Cause I already know...
And sound-waves, travel to my ears,
As if to wash away all my fears,
But they can't reach me, not when I'm here,
'Cause I already know...
