An internet collaboration project of seasoned pros, MMB is reminiscent of 70s & 80s flavored, prog-rock, but features exceptionally Strong melodies and harmonie

Stylistically, MMB is reminiscent of 70s & 80s flavored, prog-rock. But while influenced by groups such as Pink Floyd, Yes, Deep Purple, Kansas, ELP, and Styx, MMB music is undeniably unique. It features bold chord progressions alongside instrumentation that ranges from artfully tasteful to technically brilliant ... but puts intricate melodies and vocal harmonies front and center.

Story behind the song

This is the sixth song of the album "Perfect World", released in December 2009. For more info see www.matsonmusicbox.com.

The album is a story, with each song a chapter. This chapter represents the "low point" for our protagonist. It's about becoming bitter, not caring any more, and just wanting to crawl under a rock and hide, and never come out.

Hope you enjoy.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Well they say there's a rock and he lives on the bottom where the sun never shows its face.
And I don't know if the rock needs a boarder, but I'm looking for another place.
There's nothing left to care about, no need for me to stay.
So I think I'll talk to the rock on the bottom. Gonna hear what he has to say.

I think I'll talk to the rock on the bottom. Gonna hear what he has to say.
He g'on talk to the rock on the bottom. Gonna hear what he has to say.

Chorus
Turning to fly away from here
Yearning to close my eyes and all will disappear.

Verse 2
Well I talked to the rock and he lives on the bottom in a cold, mystifying maze.
And he laughed when he said "come on down to the bottom, and I'll show you of all my ways."
There's nothing left to care about, no will to be afraid.
So I packed my bags for the rock on the bottom. Gonna crawl underneath and stay.

I packed my bags for the rock on the bottom. Gonna crawl underneath and stay.
He packed his bags for the rock on the bottom. Gonna crawl underneath and stay.

Chorus
Turning to fly away from here
Yearning to close my eyes and all will disappear

Chant
I think I'll talk to the rock on the bottom, gonna hear what he has to say. (x 4)

Final Chorus
Turning to fly away from here.
Yearning to close my eyes and all will disappear.
I am turning to fly away from here.
Yearning to close my eyes, and hide the light.
Steal away into the night and close my eyes and I will disappear.
