Me too. Bob Bobson clearly. The dub version perhaps.

AAAAAAaagggh.... the incessant clap machine..... (reminds me of the Edgar Allen Poe poem, The Bells). Otherwise -- this is groovy.

I'm sure some of it comes from the "listener supported" aspect of RP.

The opening keyboards - so muted - still make me stop and crank. This is a song that could be a minute longer (or more).

Same here. I thought at first I was listening to an extended version of Beautiful World, it was in the same key and was a perfect transition into this nifty little tune.

I've found that listening to RP, Prog Metal (ala Ayreon) and Symphonic Metal (especially Nightwish) has made 4–5-minute songs "short" in my perception

Isn't that sampled River Pheonix quoted from the 1986 Stand By Me movie?
If so, hit's even harder.

RP couples songs together so well.  There must be some intention behind that.  Very good observation jt2shoes!

Likey.
Posted 6 years ago by BlueHeronDruid    [ Reply ]
Reminds me of Gone Forever by Ulrich Snauss. Though I have to agree with the others who said that guitar at the beginning is a pretty remarkable Robbie Robertson impression.
Posted 6 years ago by ziggytrix    [ Reply ]
Every time I hear this I think Robbie Robertson. I know better but every. single. time. until I look at the title.

I guess it's good that those children can fly through the blue sky, even while sleeping; that way they can avoid the Black Death on the ground.

I think the dialog sampled here is Ethan Hawke's voice from the 1985 movie The Explorers.

It's sort of Peter Gabriel-esque with some fresher synth tracks and ethereal vocals. I like it! Another great find thanks to RP. Keep up the great work!
