There is truth and there are lies Outside of that is noise626 Forever pushing the boundaries of ambient gothic art rock. Music from the Other Side

noise626 is a tour de force in electronic/ambient/progressive rock unlike anything you may have heard. And in this era of cookie cutter bands putting out cookie cutter music, it's a wonder to see sounds influenced by the progressive rock of the past and the electronic based music of the present. Together, it represents a new era of rock music. And it's music to your ears. Firstly, much love, blessings and thanks for all the hard work, sleepless nights, and unending support to Joshywa and Pharoahmoan Productions! You have no idea how much you make my day brighter! Front page photo by the amazing noise626 music can be purchased at the following online stores: CD Baby is my mainline for our CDs :) But wait! That's not all! You can also purchase individual tracks from these fine folks: and, of course, right here on Soundclick! Thank you kindly for listening... Stay strong! pax ant

Story behind the song

I have always been fascinated by concept pieces in rock music, so I figured I would give it a shot.  The Art of Falling Forward suite has four parts, an dis based on a short story I wrote in college.

Lyrics

Sitting in front of an empty face
Of a serving machine
Who exist only to serve

"Whatever I can do to bring you joy I will do for you sir" 

Adam smiles
Hiding as he always does
It smiles back
Oblivious to the hurt in his eyes.
 
The towers of gold and silver
Towers of truth
That scrape the teeming skies
The sanitized automated heart
Of Perfect City

A million beaming smiles
Laughing, toiling, playing
Never broken never sad
Here there is no anger hate or fear 

Just a perfect sunrise
And a perfect sunset
In the clean processed scented air
It is the perfect appointed time
Of a perfect little world 

"And it will be my undoing"
He says
"This will be my undoing"

The streets in the world where Adam lives are always clean
But the thoughts that roar through his mind are beginning to scream

Adam sits and stares into the night
Perched above the air trams
And the lavender lights
And try as hard as he might
He can’t help but to feel
He is the moat in God’s eye.

The streets in the world where Adam lives are always clean
But the thoughts that roar through his mind are beginning to scream
