about

The tech may change but the call to record remains the same.

lyrics

I'm filling up my memory slots
With whatever happens or not
Storing up seconds split
Into infinite bits I fit
Every first, every last detail
Every grain, every truth and nail

I’m holding on to the last moment that's just flown past
For the future that still exists in my fists - just got to save this

For the record - It’s going down, wrapped in this sound
For the record - I’m setting it straight, before it’s too late
For the record - To heed the call that’s in us all
With every line I’m marking time

Zooming in, zooming out to frame
The same scene, replaying over again
Backing up in the cloud nine
Where it’s fine all the time it’s mine
Every piece, every part of the picture
Every view, every new permanent fixture

I’m holding on to the last moment that's just flown past
For the future I’ve yet to find in my mind, I won’t get left behind

For the record - It’s going down, wrapped in this sound
For the record - I’m setting it straight, before it’s too late
For the record - I’m tracking the years as they disappear
With every line I’m marking time

Looking back in this future
If my memory should ever fail
It’s there at the tip of my finger
On the glass like a holy grail

And to the end I pretend won’t come
It’s someone else’s race to be won
Forgetting everything I’ve learned
As tides turned frozen fingers burned
Every note is one more for the score
Every straw that I choose to draw

I’m holding on to the last moment that's just flown past
For the future that still exists in my fists - just got to save this

For the record - It’s going down, wrapped in this sound
For the record - I’m setting it straight, before it’s too late
For the record - For no-one knows how it will go
With every line I’m marking time

Strangers Of Fiction England, UK

“does remind me of early prog bands like Genesis or PFM crossed with the pop chops and majestic overreach of a David Bowie - “Maze” conjures the piano-based songs of Paul McCartney or Brian Wilson, featuring gorgeous circular melodies which weave an unbroken lyrical lattice - “Elephant” is another smart composition which changes rhythm on a dime - ultimately the best moments are remarkable ” ... more
